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.

It's now too late for Marcellus Williams, but it's not too late for Robert Roberson. On Oct 17, Texas will execute him for a crime he absolutely did not commit. Make it a big deal. https://youtu.be/ifpEfj1_hzQ
@theresnotime@fox.nexus Hm, to me "pro bono" also implies "after consideration of whether it is a cause to support" whereas "for free" doesn't necessarily

OV gaat achteruit: de auto is altijd sneller, zelfs in de spits

Hoeveel jaar draaide de vroemvroempartij aan de knoppen?
"Bastiaanssen denkt dat beleidsmakers zich niet goed genoeg realiseren dat een kwart van de huishoudens in Nederland geen auto heeft."
Niet realiseren? Die mensen hebben gewoon niet voor succes gekozen. Vroem! Vroem!

If you're in the US, it's time to order your 4 free covid tests. Keep yourself and those around you safe.

Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, who silences African voices on Meta, displaces us native Hawaiians here with 1000-acre mega-bunkers, *owns* a freshwater reservoir as we die from poisoned H20, embodies the US empire in Hawaii -rich settler colonizers ethnic cleansing us indigenous.
GDPR, transmisia, positive-ish legal ruling
The Court of Justice of the EU has ruled that under the GDPR, the asylum documentation of a refugee in Hungary must be corrected to reflect their identified gender (as opposed to assigned-by-government gender). There are some caveats to it however.
While evidence of its correctness may be expected to process the change, that evidence requirement *may not* include having undergone gender reassignment surgery, as this would be in conflict with the European Convention on Human Rights.
A major factor in the ruling was that the refugee was granted asylum on the basis of being trans in the first place, and this served as an implicit recognition by the government that their identified gender is correct, from a GDPR perspective.
The full details of the ruling are here: https://gdprhub.eu/index.php?title=CJEU_-_C-247/23_-_Deldits&mtc=today

for the record, if you see any Dutch people being weird about what's happening in Donald Duck Weekblad this week, I assure you they haven't read it in years and are just being a racist who nobody should be paying attention to

We report late at night, the misty moon barely risen: we think it might start to rain. We have felt a few drops on the back of our neck, but it is, for good reason, a little bit difficult to make out potential rain clouds. This is a chilly night, but we hear a few crickets still.

Students, remember that science and Big Science aren’t the same things. Don’t let your professors fool you. You can learn to do science without becoming a cog. Don’t let them force you where you do not want to go.

What's that? You're still doubting the power of grass?
This is 24 hours later. I have a glasses kit. I just wanted to see how long it would last with regular daily use. Absolutely badass stuff, grass.
@rune Yeah, agreed. But I can't find anything in either the NIST *or* original advisory suggesting it is anything more than that, other than a vague "things might be worse if the server trusts the header"?

Someone shared a comic I liked, but I noticed that somewhere in the chain, the artists name had been removed, so that stopped me. Reverse image searching proved surprisingly frustrating and involved diving into the cesspit of LinkedIn, but I eventually identified the artist as Irina Blok, but I can't link to the original image because its in Instagram jail, so here's her site.
That was a pain in the ass. Please don't trim credits. It's an asshole move.
@rune Given their lack of explanation or sources that confirm this, it feels to me like that was an error, to be honest

"Everyone is welcome! Details on Instagram!"
Which is it? Everyone is welcome or only for people with Instagram accounts?
@rune I'm not sure where the 'arbitrary execution' part is coming from, as far as I can tell it's "just" header manipulation?

re: systemd, unix philosophy
@clarfonthey Oh yeah, I'm taking the absolutely most generous interpretation of "UNIX philosophy" here, I very rarely see people actually interpret it this way and usually it becomes something worse - but it helps to make the point that even in an idealized, not-actually-happening interpretation of the concept, it *still* is a bad idea for end-user software. Because it just conceptually doesn't fit there.
mutual aid post, please help
@mynameistillian @sentinian@lea.pet Would it be possible to get part-time work, survive on that + donations for a bit, and in the meantime seek an official diagnosis before uni finishes? Assuming that that *would* be a valid exemption
