I have been told this is a very hot take
I don't consider allies to be part of the LGBTQ+ community. They're not any gayer or transer or queerer for associating with people who don't have the same privilege they do. And it seems that anytime they don't get to participate in the "club," they get really upset, like they're owed something for their support.
It's not that the support of cishet people isn't valued or important, but so often it feels performative with the end goal of being part of a community they don't belong to.
Anyway, I've been told this is a really controversial take by a few so-called allies, and it seems to fit into a pattern that I've noticed over several years. One with a lot of "we" language when they're happy with what the queers are doing and a lot of "you" language when they want to distance themselves, which the ones I've met do as often as it's convenient for them.
Since this apparently needs to be repeated: you don't write reliable code by "being really careful" or "avoiding mistakes".
You do it by accepting that you *will* inevitably make mistakes, and designing your code so that the likelihood and/or impact of those mistakes is minimized.

Always thought the Dyson Sphere thing was weirdly capitalist, like "a type 6 advanced civilization will need to harness the power of an entire star" no an advanced civilization will sit in the grass enjoying birds and bugs and a stable climate for thousands of years
??? why was the cat sleeping in the shower

@joenepraat @schratze I got no tag either!
@amapanda Neat! It's definitely not perfect (red line is what it *should* have routed through for the optimal cycling route), but definitely much better than most generic routers :)
maia quote of the day, food, drugs
@maia you said 'drugs' twice
@amapanda Wait until you learn about the difference in bike routing quality! As it turns out, a whole lot of bike paths/crossings/etc. just straight-up do not exist in Google Maps, because their AI magic can't see them due to tree cover, and no Streetview car would drive over bike paths, of course... this leads to sometimes absurdly better routes with OSM-based routers than with GMaps.

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev @pleb@hunk.city Do you actually need a local queue, though, or do you just need a multiplexer?

We should have some form of public goods transport, where you 'check in' some kind of cargo (camping gear, large hardware store purchase, whatever) at the point of origin, specify where you're going and when you'll arrive, and then someone shows up after that time with your stuff, for a price that's in line with human public transport.

@melsbells@tenforward.social Unfortunately not; it seems I haven't kept any bookmarks on this topic :( It's unfortunately also a difficult topic to find details on (in English anyway), considering how little attention there is for policy and communities in Africa in general...
