tumblr post where first post reads, alternate universe where when darth vader declares that he's Luke's father Luke comes to the (entirely reasonable) conclusion that darth vader and anakin skywalker were married

reply reads, How could you kill your HUSBAND?!" and Luke gets away with his hand because Anakin's too confused trying to figure out when he and Obi Wan got married and why he's only learning about it now

edit: also I'm @QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works, I think my home instance is updating or sthm right now 🤷‍♀️

So yeah. Hit 2000 posts on this account, with a couple dozen on my alt at startrek.website, but whatever. The shitposts will continue until moral improves. Koala knows we'll need it.

Really sucked to scroll backwards in my photos like this, I do not like looking at the old ones at ALL lmao. I finally got the motivation to put this little timeline together despite the discomfort though, and I am really proud of how far I have come. One thing that I noticed is I took almost no pictures of myself before 2023, but the number of selfies just exploded after I started transitioning in earnest. I'm not at the end of my journey, but I'm really happy with where I am now <3

The FBI has been unable to access a Washington Post reporter’s seized iPhone because it was in Lockdown Mode, a sometimes overlooked feature that makes iPhones broadly more secure, according to recently filed court records.

The court record shows what devices and data the FBI was able to ultimately access, and which devices it could not, after raiding the home of the reporter, Hannah Natanson, in January as part of an investigation into leaks of classified information. It also provides rare insight into the apparent effectiveness of Lockdown Mode, or at least how effective it might be before the FBI may try other techniques to access the device.

“Because the iPhone was in Lockdown mode, CART could not extract that device,” the court record reads, referring to the FBI’s Computer Analysis Response Team, a unit focused on performing forensic analyses of seized devices. The document is written by the government, and is opposing the return of Natanson’s devices.

I’ve been getting more into self hosting lately, grabbed an optiplex 3050 for everything and I’m running Mint currently. Looking more into things though, I saw Debian come up as a more barebones distro and now I’m wondering if there is a lot of benefit to going more barebones. I’m not having any issues with my current setup but now I can’t stop thinking about it. I am newer to Linux but having to learn new things doesn’t wig me out much if there is a lot more involvement with Debian

Bannon has no formal power, but is an influential figure on the far right and is closely tied with the Trump administration.

Donald Trump this week again suggested that the federal government “should take over the voting” and federalize elections, which are run by local and state jurisdictions, as part of his ongoing false claims that Democrats have stolen elections. He also reiterated lies that undocumented people are brought to the US to vote and their participation led to

Repeating false claims that undocumented people vote in large numbers in US elections, Bannon said on his War Room show on Tuesday: “You’re damn right we’re gonna have ICE surround the polls come November.”

Over the last few days hackers and trolls have targeted a slew of ICE spotting apps and their users in an apparent attempt to intimidate and stop them from reporting sightings of ICE. These hackers sent threatening text messages to users of StopICE, claiming their personal data has been sent to the authorities; attempted to wipe uploads on Eyes Up, which aims to document ICE abuses; and even sent push notifications to DEICER app users claiming their data has also been sent to various government agencies.

There is little evidence that hackers have actually provided data to the government. But it shows that apps like these, many of which Apple and Google have already kicked from their respective app stores, in some cases after direct government pressure, can be targeted by hackers or those looking to harass their users.

“Yes there is a targeted spike in attacks targeting similar [sites],” Sherman Austin, the developer of StopICE, told 404 Media in an email.

I distro hopped for a bit before finally settling in Debian (because Debian was always mentioned as a distro good for servers, or stable machines that are ok with outdated software)

And while I get that Debian does have software that isn't as up to date, I've never felt that the software was that outdated. Before landing on Debian, I always ran into small hiccups that caused me issues as a new Linux user - but when I finally switched over to Debian, everything just worked! Especially now with Debian 13.

So my question is: why does Debian always get dismissed as inferior for everyday drivers, and instead mint, Ubuntu, or even Zorin get recommended? Is there something I am missing, or does it really just come down to people not wanting software that isn't "cutting edge" release?

I've been having a big think over Linux distros. See, I've been looking back at my still-new Linux experience of nine months, and wondering how my own journey can help other people get started with FOSS operating systems. Whenever the topic of a Windows refugee-friendly OS came up, I would recommend Linux Mint because, first, it's the one everyone says, and second, it was the Linux OS that I started with, fresh off Windows.

I always follow that up with a comment about how you don't have to stick with Linux Mint if you don't want to. You can do what I did, which is to dip your toe into the Linux distro water and find something that suits you better. But if I'm setting up Linux Mint as "my first Linux distro," why not just skip the middleman and get right into the distros that have a bit more meat on them?

  1. From backing big corporations to supporting people’s everyday lives, Supporting people’s lives through wage increases and shorter working hours, Major wage increases that outpace rising prices

Enacting a “Non-Regular Worker Treatment Improvement Act”

Cut the consumption tax, increase budgets for social security and education, and provide peace of mind in everyday life

  1. No to turning Japan into a heavily armed, war-driven state that follows the Trump U.S. administration’s openly declared “rule by force” Work for a peaceful Japan and Asia through diplomacy based on Article 9 of the Constitution

Stop building Japan into a U.S.-subservient “war state” and return to being a “peace state”

Halt construction of the new U.S. military base in Okinawa and fundamentally revise the Japan–U.S. Status of Forces Agreement

The Communist Party's Peace Diplomacy In April 2024, the Japanese Communist Party announced its “East Asia Peace Proposal,” aimed at developing a framework for regional peace cooperation across East Asia in collaboration with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and it has devoted its full efforts to realizing it.

in seeking a positive breakthrough in Japan–China relations as well, it is important to return to the principles agreed upon in the Joint Communiqué at the time of the normalization of Japan–China relations and at the 2008 Japan–China summit meeting: that the two countries are “partners who cooperate and do not pose a threat to one another.” From this standpoint, the Japanese Communist Party has made efforts to move Japan–China relations forward by directly conveying, on various occasions, to the Chinese side what needs to be said while maintaining dialogue.

  1. Promote gender equality and politics that respect everyone’s rights, lifestyle, and dignity Push back the gender backlash and advance equality through politics

A backlash against gender equality is underway, exemplified by moves to legislate the use of “common names” in order to block the introduction of an optional separate-surname system for married couples. The Japanese Communist Party stands in solidarity with the persistent movement seeking a gender-equal society in which everyone can live with dignity as a human being, and will devote its efforts to expanding this main current.

Toward politics that value children’s rights and support child-rearing

Based on the Convention on the Rights of the Child, we will advance the protection of children’s human rights. The national government will establish an independent body for the protection and remedy of children’s rights

We will improve conditions at childcare centers and after-school care programs so that each and every child is valued. We will substantially raise staffing standards in childcare, improve working conditions, and increase the number of childcare workers. We will eliminate waiting lists for after-school care, promote multiple staff placements, and improve待遇 for instructors.

How to respond to the population decline issue How to respond to the issue of population decline is a critical challenge facing Japan.

At its root is the fact that economic and social circumstances are preventing people from freely choosing their future lives. What is required is to change a society that is difficult to live in: reducing the heavy financial burden of child-rearing, achieving wage increases that can keep up with rising prices, shortening working hours and increasing workers’ free time, eliminating discrimination against non-regular workers, advancing gender equality, and ending inequalities that place the burden of housework and childcare disproportionately on women.

  1. Expose and correct the darkness and corruption of politics

Clarify the full extent of the collusion between the Unification Church and the LDP

Clarify the truth behind the slush fund scandal and ban corporate and organizational donations

The biggest reason for the LDP’s crushing defeat in the 2024 general election and the 2025 House of Councillors election was the slush fund scandal. Despite this, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi appointed lawmakers involved in the slush fund scheme to key party posts and parliamentary secretary positions, insisting that they had carefully fulfilled their responsibility to explain.

We will not allow cuts to the number of National Diet members that disregard the will of the people

  1. Advance politics that ensure security and prosperity

Toward overcoming the climate crisis: politics that confront it head-on

We oppose nuclear restarts and new construction, and aim for a nuclear-free Japan

Revitalizing agriculture and rural communities, ensuring a stable food supply, and promoting primary industries

Japan’s food and agriculture are facing an unprecedented crisis. The so called “Reiwa rice turmoil” of recent years has exposed a government incapable of properly supplying even staple foods

This crisis is the direct result of agricultural policies pursued by successive Liberal Democratic Party governments, based on ideas such as “we can just buy food from abroad” and “we don’t need agriculture that lacks competitiveness.” These policies have promoted unlimited import liberalization of agricultural products, cuts to agricultural protection, and the large-scale and industrialization of farming.

Putting residents’ lives and livelihoods first to build a disaster-resilient society and national land Greatly strengthening national support to rebuild the lives and livelihoods of disaster victims

Putting digitalization and AI progress to work for the people by eliminating risks through legislation and using them to support daily life and the economy

Stop forcing the My Number health insurance card and restore the health insurance card

Shift to a housing policy based on the principle that “housing is a human right,” and ensure homes where people can live with peace of mind
