@Dee @ben I imagine that your local equivalent of Health and Safety might have some Opinions about that

I'm starting a small call for entries for a yet-to-exist 'zine on tech for resting, being lazy, letting be, and having a break. Share wide and far.

--

For the first Fallow Zine, la Jachère is interested in contributions about the following topics, but not limited to them.

- Lazy tech or tech for the lazies
- Tech that falls into place, fits, is just enough
- Tech for rest, pause, have a break, take a breath
- Tech for preservation, of the status quo, of energy, of a moment, of equilibrium

More on jache.re/notes/call-fallow-zin

- Deadline: 21. June 2022 (more or less… deadlines are thresholds to play with)

@ripper@chaos.social I definitely didn't have to look at the paper to get an immediate "oh, yep, lockdown project" vibe from the photo alone

cis people LOVE to be like "ik this is controversial and idk if im allowed to say this because im cis but (transphobic take) (transphobic take) (extremely transphobic take) (facts twisted in bad faith) (transphobic take)" and all the other cis people in the room will be like "THANK you ive been too scared to say that!"

@ben @Dee It'd be more impressive if they differed in latitude but not in longitude or altitude

Transphobia in policy, prison reform policy, ACAB 

It's funny that they came to an abolitionist organization and abolisionist activist for input on their horrifically transphobic policy, and tried to pull the "see were doing amazing work"

Like nah if you wanna make prisons better for trans people how bout you start off by doing away with prisons as a whole, and gender based correctional policy on top of that

Fuck cops, fuck the industrial prison complex

@f0x I mean, the idea itself is pretty good actually, the dystopian component is really just in how they'd be used by employers; as an argument that surely doing overtime wouldn't be such an issue and why would you bother going home at all

@RixRaw (I think you can combine it with "playing URLs that youtube-dl understands")

working with foss shit is like

uh when you type the letter e into the search bar the entire thing crashes

"oh weird i didnt notice because i dont type the letter e. i just leave out vowels and it usually works fine."

no you misheard me, i said i work for a twink tank

That “clean your room thing” is hammered in people’s head starting from school really, only those that do well in school are able to criticize it

And the interesting thing is that the people that don’t do well also say this

Sounds a bit familiar, no?

possibly uncomfortable 

@goat@hellsite.site Only works when you have dual brains, so that one serves as a hot spare while you take out the other

@devurandom@cybre.space @Dee Anecdata does appear to confirm this to be true

@f0x Ah yeah, for funding proposals it can get a lot hairier...

@f0x (General rule of thumb is that acquisition - of employees, freelancers, even products - is a process that in and of itself costs money, so as long as you're not being an asshole, people aren't likely to just walk, because they'd be throwing away a sunk cost)

@f0x Well, sort of; if it's 1:1 negotiations, then they've probably already decided that they want to hire you, and so if the ask is too high, they'll negotiate rather than walk away
