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.

So fucking typical. I am so sick of this happening over and over again to what could have been interesting resilient/community tech.
"Roofnet, a real mesh network deployment [...] Open participation without central planning [...] No central control over topology [...] Roofnet's technology formed the basis for Meraki, a mesh networking startup founded by members of MIT's Parallel and Distributed Operating Systems group. Meraki was acquired by Cisco Systems in 2012. [...] Since then, Meraki discontinued this public service, though many access points remain active, but with no connection to the Internet. [...] Cisco Meraki is a cloud-managed IT company headquartered in San Francisco, California. Their products include wireless, switching, security, enterprise mobility management (EMM) and security cameras, all centrally managed from the web."

What would a computing environment look like that simply didn't support proprietary code on a technical level?
@Dee I immediately started looking on that picture for the blown capacitor, because that is usually the reason people post close-ups of PCBs and I hadn't noticed the thread context

AGAB, subpost but this time it's on main
I'm tired of people using AMAB (assigned male at birth) and AFAB (assigned female at birth) as a glorified replacement for MTF (male to female) and FTM (female to male)
the latter terms are much more obviously bad but people still keep using the former ones like they're somehow also good
like by AGAB (assigned gender at birth) do you mean:
people perceived as "biologically X" (note: does not necessarily match assigned gender)
people raised as a certain gender
people with certain genotypes (chromosomes and genes contained within them)
people with certain phenotypes (secondary sex characteristics)
people with certain genitals or reproductive organs
I'm not listing everything
like you're oversimplifying in the same harmful ways cis people do, so, stop
a few others while we're at it: the opposite of AMAB is not AFAB, and vice/versa (not all people are forced to conform to a binary gender at birth)
if you find yourself using any term as a substitute for "biologically X", then you're doing what cis people do, and you should stop. do use these terms to point out the way that cis people oppress, but don't use them as if they're actually representing any meaningful class of people, because I promise to you that any perceived benefit is not worth it

I’m so fucking tired of “click your AI mouse on this AI button to receive an AI generated web page from our AI that does AI things to use AI on the AI Internet computer with AI”
@someonetellmetosleep@queer.party @thibaultmol I don't think that would fix the startup time issue?
@someonetellmetosleep@queer.party @thibaultmol It reloads the tabs on start, but only loads the page content of the currently-focused ones, the rest remain unloaded. No Auto Tab Discard though.
@tastytea@very.tastytea.de (Err, to clarify, that's a general suggestion for train tickets anywhere, I haven't used them for Poland yet but so far every single country I've tried them with has worked)
@tastytea@very.tastytea.de I've found Rome2Rio to give decent estimates, though they are not always 100% accurate (and sometimes it requires clicking through to the actual ticket booking to get the exact price)

Tussen de 73.000 en 175.000 huishoudens in Nederland lopen het risico op vervoersarmoede, becijferde onderzoeksinstituut TNO deze week. Dat betekent dat je door te hoge brandstofkosten en weinig openbaar vervoer in jouw buurt niet overal kan komen, zoals het ziekenhuis of andere voorzieningen. Ook kun je soms een baan niet aannemen die je eigenlijk wil graag zou willen. Pointer liet eerder al zien wat dit voor mensen betekent:

So, I'm sure this is a thing, but I know nothing.
I'm looking for a fictional historical account of how the world would be if the English, and specifically only the English, never colonized the Americas. Everyone else who did is allowed.
It's just something I've been thinking about recently for some reason.

@someonetellmetosleep@queer.party @thibaultmol Varies from a couple hundred to about 7k max (above that, Firefox starts just breaking)
@onekopaka @thibaultmol For me it always seems to happen after switching a tab. Though videos do seem to often be involved, and I do run multi-monitor under Plasma 5, though on X I think?
@smveerman Karakterlimiet was net op?
@scottjenson Because this isn't "hatred". This is people responding to their personal boundaries being violated. That has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with 'corporate social media', and is a very real problem that needs to be taken seriously.
"Finding a way to work together" includes *especially* the responsibilities of relatively privileged folks to be mindful of the trauma and experiences of others, and to tread carefully on topics like this. So the exact opposite of what is being done here.
@scottjenson Do you really not see the problem with trying to define for someone else what qualifies as 'tone policing'?

Hello people. Here is my yearly post. This time I come bearing a gift in form of a keygen for a PlayStation 2 game Colin McRae Rally 04. You can find it here: https://p4t.xyz/keygen/
Warning: it is a complete keygen experience (has tracker music, but no malware)
