Cw: fish

Show

On the 2nd of march 1964, a group of indigenous rights activists, among them actor Marlon Brando and Puyallup tribal leader Bob Satiacum, illegally fished in the Puyallup River to protest the denial of treaty rights to Native Americans. This form of civil disobedience is known as a "fish-in", and in this specific incident both Brando and an Episcopal clergyman were arrested.

The fish-in was staged by the National Indian Youth Council, a Native American civil rights organization formed in Gallup, New Mexico in 1961. It became part of the so-called "Fish Wars", a set of protests spanning decades in which Native American tribes around the Puget Sound pressured the U.S. government to recognize fishing rights granted by the Point No Point Treaty.

The protests eventually won indigenous people in the area the right to fish without state permits - in the 1974 case "United States v. Washington", U.S. District Court Judge George Hugo Boldt stated that treaty right fishermen must be allowed to take up to 50% of all potential fishing harvests and required that they have an equal voice in the management of the fishery.

The so-called "Boldt Decision" was reaffirmed by the Supreme Court in 1979 and has been used as a precedent for handling other, similar treaties.

      computer touching rant

      Do not update software on days when you're feeling too bad to fix it if something breaks

      3 hours of forcing myself to debug one of the worst things in the world to debug (web browser) and all I learned is that the Firefox people (I don't know for sure, but it was probably them) broke hardware accelerated page rendering on OpenBSD again :(

      Certain pages would immediately crash (illegal instruction in the process responsible for the browser tab) and not load

      Wasn't even able to use a debugger cuz it and Firefox would get stuck in some kind of horrible uninterruptable sleep and the only way to get it to stop was to reboot (Massive Unix L: permanently blocked processes. Send as many SIGKILLs as you want but that process is never ending. It's rare but literally the only way out is to reboot)

      I looked at the core dump from the crashed tab process and the stacks (multiple threads) were full of nonsense (return addresses of 0, awful name-mangled library functions (C++ was a mistake), mismatches between locations of libraries in memory in the core dump and where the debugger loaded them so addresses referred to code that wasn't there anymore idek (dynamic linking was yet another mistake)) so that didn't help

      Those return addresses of 0 are really fucking with me. It didn't look like some kind of stack corruption because interspersed between the various stack frames containing return addresses of 0 or 0x0b were addresses referring to real code so idek... maybe some kind of awful threading, or callback, or dynamic dispatch type shit going on??

      Is it just me or is everyone left this clueless when dealing with web browsers? It just seems like unless you're one of the few people who is an expert in whatever subsystem of a subsystem where a problem is occurring in one of these massive fucking sprawling things you're just reduced to the sacred rituals (clearing your browser cache, clearing your browser settings, etc) and incantations and applying the sacred oils, but maybe I'm just a fucking idiot

      Too tired for this today :(

      But everything started working again when I turned off the forced hardware acceleration setting I enabled so it's whatever I guess

      I think I'm just gonna go back to bed my brain is too melted today
