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.

Dat "tijd voor solidariteit"-documentje van GL-PvdA zou een stuk geloofwaardiger zijn als ze niet steeds met de staart tussen de benen weg zouden rennen bij demonstraties zodra de politie losgaat om vervolgens de schuld af te schuiven op 'relschoppers'
@gedankenstuecke @martinvermeer What really gets me here is that this is indeed a problem that people have been complaining about for years, but it's also a problem that has been functionally *ignored* for years - with attempts at rewriting an article to be more accessible, for example, being reverted because it is "not in an encyclopedic tone".
And it makes me very much question what the real intent is here, and whether the accessibility isn't more of an excuse to play with a new tech toy.
@xChaos FYI, this is called 'remote fetch' and at least GoToSocial has already had this for a while
I find it *really* weird when people complain that AI critics are "not nuanced enough" - I can assure you that a billion-dollar industry does not need you to defend it, and that if there are actual legitimate purposes, they'll shake out regardless of what critics say or do

@mynameistillian @lgm In my own (recorded) recipes I usually just use the descriptors of "a lot", "a little", "tiny amount of", or no descriptor for an average amount, and I've found it to be more than accurate enough, so it'd probably be fine? Most ingredients don't need to be that precise

Question for the young people
When you say, "Wow your lunch looks fire" or similar
In your mind, is that written as:
@gedankenstuecke On the one hand yes, on the other hand it's not promising that it's just been 'paused'

#AskFedi: Is there a list of (software) projects which have knowingly accepted "AI" contributions, or actively use or encourage "AI" for development? :boost_requested:
(Not looking for lists of *suspicions*, just the cases where it's documented and known and intentional)
@mynameistillian Even worse, the kind of tedious cookiewall you're describing is *explicitly illegal* under the GDPR and companies do it anyway because there's barely any enforcement

Ink and Switch wrote a nice blogpost recently talking about "Malleable Software" https://www.inkandswitch.com/essay/malleable-software/
It resonated with me a lot. The idea of building software that has an on-ramp that keeps on-ramping, guiding a user to not only become an expert, but to make the software their own, really resonated with me.
It's felt for a long time that Gnome has gone in the opposite direction. Trying to make something easy and clean, but end users aren't part of that journey.
@Peetz0r Not just that, it also implicitly contains the belief that technology is apolitical, so all it really does is make it impossible to critically inspect the development process because there's no place to build a healthy community that can function as a supporting structure for doing so
(And no, Powershell and Nushell are not solutions to this, they still try to implement the same fundamental model)
Like, there's so much potential for terminal-like interfaces that just nothing is being done with because people insist on hanging onto an emulator design for a 50 year old terminal, and we're all losing out on so much possible accessibility and functionality as a result of it
