This idea that Capitalism is the root of /all/ evil is compelling. I've seen this take a lot. I suspect people blame it for all evil because it /is/ evil and causes people to do evil things. I don't disagree.

But in my opinion there's another few motives for this take:

1) not wanting to believe some people are inherently evil or do bad things for lack of conscience
2) wanting to believe a perfect world is possible if only we abolish it

More and more these days I get to *think* in #markdown. Digging it.

Dear Mastodon - What are some of your favorite lesser known internet communities? Can be a website like https://lobste.rs/ or something else entirely like the ASCII awesomeness that is @tildetown

Can someone advise if this is a proper #cryptography paradigm? Payload -> random aes 256 cbc -> rsa public key 2048 encrypted aeskey+iv

Bah. Small. Stupid phone.

R.I.P. Ursula K Leguin. Your books moved me and, in shall but meaningful ways, changed my life.

When you are at this social event with social activities and people try to make you participate to them.

Once again, we're putting out the call for diverse sci-fi writers that are:
- Disabled
- First Nations
- Marginalised sexes, genders, & identities
- Neurodivergent
- POC
- Scientists (research & comms)

New or established, we want your micro-scifi based on real science! Want to know more? We've written some thorough submission guidelines for this year, so go take a look! storyseedvault.com/submissions/

A robot that appears human only if nothing around it appears human, and otherwise appears inhuman.

That's right: I've invented the NANDroid.

Teaching myself a little bit of #IOS programming on the side for an open source project I've been thinking about for a while, and I've gotta say it's a lot of fun. Much more visual than I'm used to, which is nice, and the #Swift programming language is a real pleasure to use.

To the lisp / scheme curious:

I'd suggest installing Racket, opening DrRacket and going through this tutorial: http://docs.racket-lang.org/quick/

You'll be coding fun things in mere minutes... even with no lisp or even *any* programming experience!

Writing a web application is only a few lines away: http://docs.racket-lang.org/continue/index.html

Try it! I promise you'll have fun!

A reminder how diverse #Fediverse is in terms of programming languages:
