Dat is nog eens een mooi boerenprotest https://norden.social/@michel42/113935405802138499
Is it just me who feels very uncomfortable about the terms "pro-woke" and "anti-woke", in the sense that it seems to completely miss the point of what the term means?
@mkoek @roelgrif @vosje62 @locuta Nou, daar valt ook nog wel wat nuance op te tekenen. Hier heb ik toevallig pas geleden nog wat (in het Engels) over geschreven: https://social.pixie.town/@joepie91/113928039674088237

@clarfonthey Well I wouldn't say it's entirely empty, but it's certainly a lot smaller than it's often made out to be, and I do often see maintainers misattributing "people get fed up with a lack of maintainer response and leave" as "this user never intended to clarify anything".
More crucially, a stalebot cannot reliably distinguish between the two cases of "user does not follow up" vs. "maintainer has not gotten around to it" and that's what makes it a terrible non-solution to an otherwise legitimate problem.
warning regarding uspol and data archiving
@silvermoon82 To my knowledge there are two backups outside of the US (one of them is in NL, actually) but both are only partial backups, and while they are *physically* elsewhere that's not likely to protect from much if it's the organization itself that gets targeted by fascists
Holy shit the opt-in parallel scanning mode in ncdu is *fast*. Scanned my 700-800GB home dir in under 10 seconds, despite the many small files in various node_modules folders?
Instructions are on the website, but TL;DR run it with the -t8 flag for 8 threads.
Not unsurprisingly, in my experience this mindset also strongly correlates with "not recognizing *any* non-code work as a type of contribution", as applied to documentation, design/graphics fixes, community management, and so on.
Reading up on the comments to that complaint about stalebots, and once again finding that there is a significant amount of people who do not recognize carefully-filed and detailed issues as a type of contribution, because it's not a code patch.
I have Opinions about this mindset and none of them are positive.

Valuable lessons for those in #FOSS who tinker for fun and have a vast collection of gadgets
> Repairing stuff, however, is neither new nor that radical concept for me. In developing countries, repair is just a way to extend an object’s life. Repair is not necessarily seen as a political act, although it can and has been; it is another service that someone might offer as a non-expensive alternative to buying new. Here, technicians for all kinds of tech are abundant, at least in major city centers; and so having one’s broken stuff repaired will not break bank.

Hi everybody! We've been inactive for a while, so it's maybe time for a reintroduction. HUP is a fully #openaccess university press. We publish high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarly literature, particularly in the #humanities and #socialsciences. All our publications are freely available on our website at: https://hup.fi/site/
We are looking forward to learning more about the #Fediverse!

Might switch back to saying LGBTQ instead of queer just to make sure everyone knows where I stand on the inclusion of the T

The thing about the #ICC (International Criminal Court - which holds individual people responsible for human rights violations) and the #ICJ (International Court of Justice - which holds countries accountable for human rights violations) is that they were founded as deeply colonial institutes. They were created as instruments for the Global North to police the Global South. For the first time in their history, both the ICC and ICJ are going after (leaders of) a country aligned with the Global North, and just watch the same Global North collectively ignore both courts, where up to now they were all about "rules based society" and shit.

The next #fluConf session is an article by ohio olarte (not on the Fediverse) titled "Neo-Luddism in a developing country can be odd"
