Die Polizei hat ein Verfahren gegen mich eingeleitet, weil ich mich während der massiven Angriffe auf die Synagoge #Graz vor Sie hingestellt und Nachtwache gehalten habe. Spannende Prioritätensetzung angesichts der heftigsten Angriffe auf die Synagoge seit 45

"Now, said silencing is being used as a selling point to promote the rise of new alternate platforms."
So sah die Einschätzung der rechtsoffenen Corona-Leugner-Lage Anfang Mai aus. Die meisten Name kennt man mittlerweile.

Omg! In meinen Facebook-Erinnerungen. @katarinabarley@twitter.com vor zwei Jahren nach den Hetzjagden in Chemnitz.
That's the point. Wie führen wieder und wieder die selben Debatten. Lasst uns entsprechend agieren und die Leute auch behandeln. Kein Dialog mit Nazis.

One problem of doing any #retrocomputing is I get used to bytes and kilobytes again, and then when I see modern junk need megabytes or gigabytes, I flip my shit and scream "what the fuck do you need 325,000 Atari 800s for just to draw a screen?!"

Interesting. I got an email from fosstodon, warning me of a violation of the code of conduct.
I suppose the Nazi apologist I was arguing yesterday tried to report me? I can only imagine that.
It's not bothering so much as it's annoying that this means fosstodon staff and I have work now that neither of us needs, just because I stood up for democracy in Germany - in whatever small way one can do that online.
Le sigh.
"Der hessische Verfassungsschutz hatte die Serie von 16 Angriffen gegen alternative Einrichtungen in Frankfurt am Main, Hanau und Oberursel zuletzt als »linksextremistisch« geführt. Nun wurde Anklage gegen einen Rechten erhoben."

Wie jetzt? Es waren gar keine Linken, die Frauenhäuser und linke Projekte angegriffen haben? Ähm, was machen wir denn jetzt, das zerhaut uns doch unsere schöne Statistik zur linken Gewalt!
Now my first world problem is ordering enough of the right kind of storage. Because that's actually not very easy.
But what shocked me more?
Yeah, that's barely a mid-sized Lego collection. I mean, apparently it is, but well in the lower third of mid-sized.
Ahem. Okay, so I never had a lot of Lego, and I guess I never will have.
And of course they do.
First I learned that people with Lego collections don't tend to know how many bricks they have - that's fine, I certainly don't. Instead, they tend to go by volume. Apparently, even with bricks of various sizes and shapes, volume lets you estimate amount fairly well.
Ok, so I have about 3 boxes of 40L each, not counting my display models. Apparently the multiplier to apply is 250, so my 120L is around 30,000 bricks.
That number shocked me a little bit.
#lego - I had a lot as a kid. My kids are starting to get to Lego age, and that means I'm cleaning my old Lego. Also, I got two similar Lego collections second hand. I've been buying a few models as an adult, too, because brick building is still the most relaxing activity for me in the world. Weird, but true.
So I figured I have a fair bit of Lego, and I should organise that stuff.
Then I thought to myself, well, this isn't a new problem. Most likely someone on the internet has tips.
So happy to share with you: the first scifi story I've ever sold, appearing today in Strange Horizons!
