Read this at my funeral.

For nearly all of my life, I've known how I was going to die. Not from cancer, or diet, or drink, but by being crushed under a car. I will be mangled and bleed out painfully. The driver, distracted on their phone, will say that I "came out of nowhere". The police and the DA will call it an "accident". There will be no consequences of any kind. Except for my death, of course. [...]

@jwz non-cyclists that are confused by activism think that activists are attracted to cycling, when the reality is that becoming a cyclist very quickly radicalizes one into becoming an activist. Nothing crystallizes strong opinions as being frequently threatened with death by at best indifferent and at worst aggressive and antagonistic people.

@jwz this was exactly our reality when we lived in Toronto, but once our kids became old enough to ride a bike it was too much for us.

This was one of the top reasons we left Canada and moved to the Netherlands.

Is there any recourse -- besides bolt cutters -- to these scooter companies coming by in their truck and locking their commercial product to every slot in every bike rack so that nobody with a bike can use the rack at all?

Is there anyone at the city who will do something about these assholes?

@jwz dang are they at this again? I thought they all went bankrupt after people started throwing the scooters in the nearest body of water

@glyph @jwz clearly the local waters have been insufficiently scootered

Rumor has it that both systemd and the kernel now have a new-ish "BSOD" mode. Can someone send me screenshots of what those look like? I need this for important comedy purposes.

@foone @ariadne @jwz Wait, "systemd-bsod"? But then is it "Blue Screen of Death" or "Blue Screen of Daemon"?!

@foone @ariadne @jwz that's not just boring, that's actively stupid and hostile.

"Everything is broken."

No shit. How about you chucklefucks actually tell me what's broken? Besides the brain of anybody involved with or advocating for systemd.
