@ben @roxy@tech.lgbt Yeah, in my case I installed a new kernel but forgot to install the kernel headers so I had to plug in a serial terminal to see why it was blackscreening

@ben @roxy@tech.lgbt Does a serial terminal count as an external device?

This whole Church of Scientology freaking out over how right to repair will force them to open up how their e-meters work thing is my favourite current side plot. 🍿

Some unionized tech workers could use your support this week, as we start the Labor Day weekend. 🧵

First, the workers at Grindr United announced their intention to unionize; in response, their management announced a company-wide return to office policy, requiring staff to relocate to distant cities or be fired. (Workers had two weeks to choose.)

Now, the workers are asking people to petition Grindr’s CEO, and demand he recognize the union. actionnetwork.org/petitions/sh

Next, there’s the fine folks at @cfaworkers. Yesterday, Code for America’s leadership announced they’d be laying off 35 employees. Financial reasons were cited as a reason for the layoffs, but the leadership admitted they’re actively hiring to expand the C-suite. cfaworkersunited.com/stories/2

The union has set up a mutual aid fund to support the affected workers; you can donate here: venmo.com/u/CfAWorkersSolidari
