good morning

Good morning!

Just sent 38 emails to MEPs to urge them reject Chat Control (yes, the mass surveillance bill that has been voted down multiple times but keeps coming back) https://fightchatcontrol.eu/#contact-tool

I will say, as much as American politics is fucked, they do have much more of a culture of being engaged, grass roots local organising, etc. It's shocking in comparison how tame Europeans are... there's this attitude that nothing will ever change and it doesn't matter anyway and yeah I guess I'll go vote maybe whatever

I did the same thing half a year ago. 0 answers... I'm not sure that this has any effect tbh. How do you even reliably reach these people?

all I can say for sure is that it doesn't do any less than doing nothing at all 😄 democracy is weird

Heart of Clojure email tooling coming in handy!

Good morning for a scrape (the dullest of all mornings)

Pure meditation. It's the EU cobblestone counterpart of a 🇯🇵 sand garden.

It's the computing counterpart of using Windows Notepad to remove trailing commas from 1000 lines of text before learning about vim / emacs / sed / awk.

what is the equivalent of awk here @safe.hammad?

Good watching the blackberries change colour morning!

Good 🤡 🦇 morning. Not a political reference, but watch-tip 🎦 for lovers of the horror genre: Welcome to Derry. Hot damn it's good, much better than the movies.

One my colleagues was just talking about this at lunch too.

Three episodes in, I need to stock up on adult diapers.

Not the Derry I was thinking of 🙂

Morning (sort of)
