APOD bot restored!
Stephen Sekula at 2019-07-02T01:12:02Z
I finally had a chance to hunt down the code bug that brought down the APOD bot months ago (https://hub.polari.us/apod). That account's functionality is restored. #pumpiverse

Slightly creeped out that my accountant's Windows laptop is showing an animation of an eyeball and "looking for you..." while it attempts to to do facial recognition on an empty chair.

I'd like it to be different, but at least in Australia, the systems are so heavily stacked in favour of proprietary and SAS accounting tools that I imagine it would currently be nearly impossible to be an a professional tax accountant using free software.
The Australian Tax Office is in the process of rolling out processes where you must report payments to employees monthly online. I need to investigate, but I suspect I won't find any good news.
Meanwhile, I do all my business bookkeeping with Ledger which works well for me!

1. Civil servants aren't monsters just because they're civil servants. People need jobs, and can't change them because the leadership goes bad. I fully sympathize with your situation, and robodoxxing state employees is some scary shit.
2. The USA is currently run by monsters.Sarah Elkins likes this.

Let's do a little experiment. It's obviously biased by my relative participation in each, but I'm comparing the reach of twitter, facebook, Diaspora, pump, G+, and GNU Social (plus anything that can talk directly to it...that is not via NavierStokes).Please like this if you see it. Obviously, if you want more people to like it, then you share it, but I'm only going to count likes.Stephen Sekula, David "Judah's Shadow" Blue, Splicer, Sarah Elkins and 26 others likes this.

I got literally zero comments on twitter or G+. There's all sorts of bias in this, but I have more "friends" on facebook by an order of magnitude and significantly more on twitter than the free platforms. So, it seems like people join the proprietary networks and just don't use them very much.GNU Social up to 97: https://nu.federati.net/conversation/510099#notice-1072972Foot fetish #1 (SFW)

One foot to press them
one foot to guide them
one foot to roll them
and in a tidy hem bind them.
(That's a 24 meter strip of cotton voile, or 48 meters of rolled hem sewed with small stitches (length setting <2 on the machine) that took more than one hour with a hemming foot, I don't want to think how long that would have taken without. Next step: the ruffler)Sarah Elkins likes this.

8M: Huelga Feminista. Es una Huelga, no el Carnaval
EVAnaRkISTO at 2018-03-07T18:40:23Z
"Hablando con mis colegas de CCOO y de UGT hace pocos días, me comentaban que estaba loco si pensaba que la huelga del día 8 podía tener éxito. Razonaban que al ser una convocatoria difusa y escasamente convincente, nadie la secundaría, y que por eso era mejor pactar los paros parciales. Y, efectivamente, yo estoy loco. Os lo explico.
Si se convoca una huelga, creo que se ha de ser consecuente con el concepto, y en sucesivas sentencias el Tribunal Supremo del Reino, ha establecido de forma clara que la huelga ha de crear conflicto. Si hay huelga de basureros, tiene que haber basura en las calles. No puede concebirse que se convoque una batalla de ese tipo, y que todo siga funcionando como si tal cosa.
A una huelga, si le quitas el componente subversivo de "aquí no se trabaja", si la producción no se resiente, si uno no pone su salario en la mesa de juego, no estás ante una huelga. Estás ante un Carnaval.
El Carnaval es una fiesta en la que se completa un ritual de inversión. En ese día el hombre se hace mujer, la mujer hombre, el juez se viste de reo, y el preso de policía. Pero cuando pasa la noche y se levanta el día, todo vuelve a ser lo que era. La gente se lo ha pasado bien, la sociedad se ha subvertido sin riesgo, la dominación queda incólume.
En cambio la huelga, plantea una batalla muy seria. El explotador se cabrea, el dominante se pone furioso. La realidad se muestra tal cual es, y los papeles de los actores se vuelven diáfanos cuando se pierde el consentimiento. Esa es la Gracia de la huelga.
En ese momento es cuando el poderoso percibe su debilidad, comprueba que es apenas una mota de polvo ante la masa organizada, y se ve obligado a ceder.
Dicen los temerosos que los objetivos de una huelga tienen que ser claros. Y es verdad. La huelga del 8 de Marzo tiene un objetivo complejísimo: acabar con la estructura social. Voy a centrarme en un único punto: el de la visibilidad del trabajo doméstico. ¿Cómo puede valorarse eso en una sociedad capitalista? A poco que se piense, uno se da cuenta de que si las mujeres no estuviesen adscritas a la función de cuidados, a las empresas no les llegaría mano de obra cruda. Conclusión: el empresario tiene que pagar ese coste oculto, lo mismo que al empresario se le debería cargar el coste ecológico. Una sociedad mercantil como esta, que lo calcula todo en términos de beneficio, tiene que contabilizar el coste de producción de la mano de obra y del cuidado que precisa. De lo contrario , estaremos ante una estafa universal. Que haya explotación en el capitalismo, es lo que se espera de él. Que permanezca la esclavitud, no.
Basta de pendejadas. Solo tres palabras: Huelga General Feminista."
