Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

Watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvTkebtgdU0 and holy shit, is all road design in the US like this? That looks absolutely awful, and I don't just mean the "bike lane"

To the people who are like “What did you expect to happen when you picked a .af domain, are you idiots?”
Yes, we were aware of the possibility of suspension from the start
Yes, we were aware that political circumstances could change
But thumbing your nose at conservative autocrats as an even minor form of protest is fun
In the end pretty much everyone has migrated out successfully (and I’ll continue to help anyone who remains)
We’ve all gotten a fun story out of this
I’ve been signalling the probable demise of queer.af to my followers for the past year. We knew the end was coming; we just anticipated it to take a little longer
So long; it was fun while it lasted.

(SBB jingle with Dutch following sounds absolutely cursed.)
(Oh no, they use the full-train announcements though I turned off the speakers 🤐.)
@StroomAfwaarts Nope, klimop mostly
about ethical licenses, moderately hot take
@shine @gotosocial Very much in favour of that sort of approach, yep
politics, deradicalization, fascist ideology
(The scarequotes around 'human nature' are because part of the problem is that people have this really expansive view of 'human nature' where they assume that a lot of cultural conventions are actually innate and immutable, and so deconstructing that idea that "human nature rules everything around me, nothing you can do about it" is part of the work you need to do in deradicalization)
politics, deradicalization, fascist ideology
Something I wish more people - especially leftists - would realize, is that fascist beliefs may be *practically* rooted in hierarchy, but *ideologically* they're not; ideologically, people's beliefs hinge on a misguided understanding of 'human nature'.
You need to talk about someone's beliefs regarding 'human nature', if you want to have any hope of changing their mind - because "we can do without hierarchy" sounds completely absurd if your core belief is that most humans are fundamentally malicious and rotten.
Fediblock: virulent racism, harassment, anti-LGBT
@moira Ah, I remember this dude from a couple places on Matrix. If I'm not mistaken, he's either a nazi or a nazi sympathizer.

Wikimedia's projects including Wikipedia still don't have an accessible captcha alternative. The captchas were first put up in 2006.
there's a ticket about it, but no one's doing anything except commenting every few months.

it's just policy to remove public benches but removing all of the chairs from the offices of those responsible is considered a "crime" and "morally reprehensible"

very nice climate policy you've got over there, so much that the most pro-eco green low-carbon traveling option is hilariously uncompetitive compared to taking a plane

@celesteh For the longest time, I was unable to find a desktop e-mail client that worked as well for me as the GMail webmail client did, and that's what kept me using it.
And then GMail got an overhaul that made it slow and awkward and that problem solved itself, in a manner of speaking 🤷
(I'm still not happy with any of the e-mail clients I've seen...)

Is there a GUI program (for Linux) that can manage a keyboard using QMK?
I recently found out that mine uses that and can do a lot more stuff than I thought it could, but it's all managed through key shortcuts and possibly like, manually editing config files and rebuilding the firmware 😅
