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.

If you ever leave a community - any community - because of (systemic) problems with it, *please* post the reasons publicly if you are able to.
You don't need to engage with people questioning your reasons or asking you things, or any other replies - merely state your motivation for leaving, what led up to it.
It may sound like a small thing, but it is *immensely* helpful to the people staying behind fighting to fix the community's issues, who will have a concrete thing to point towards to show that other people are not tolerating it either.
@piegames @nanianmichaels@tech.lgbt I think the problem is that this implementation relies on trust in 'the folks up top' that has already largely dissipated over the past years

Anyone here with any experience of #RucksackRepair #OutdoorRepair #HikingKitRepair? I want to replace the zip on my rucksack which is now so old the teeth keep opening up unpredictably. I've replaced zips on clothes before but never outdoor kit. Am I looking for a specific type of especially strong zip, or will any do?

#WestSeattle street-name planning has, uh, incurred a persistent cognitive load tax on pedestrian and automotive street users alike

One of the worst parts about getting older is realising that people you once admired are actually complete muppets

Be especially kind to trans/agender/non-binary people in the UK today
Lots of news sites and people are going to be discussing a high profile report into the UK’s NHS and gender identity.
One of the report’s conclusions is around the toxicity of the “debate”, which is no surprises and is borne out by some of the headlines I’ve seen in papers today,
Anticipate plenty of anti-trans comments and sentiment today so please be extra kind and supportive to people in your life who could be affected.

Hey nerds! What's a good way to get a number that can receive SMS messages and just forward them to an e-mail address with no need for an actual physical phone to be involved?

I had somehow missed or forgotten that Oracle was in the running for operating TikTok in the US and I completely creased over laughing. It's hard to imagine a more ridiculously mismatched company to run a social media site primarily used by teenagers.

Also I've said it before and I'll say it again our Tech communities have an accessibility problem.
It's incredibly hard to understand why some blockers are blockers, an inaccessible interface is only part of it.
Often the community attitude renders it inaccessible as well.

I have some thoughts about FOSS sustainability and burnout.
If we want projects to be a part of the commons to encourage the commons to join in, they need to be able to afford to.
TLDR: We need universal basic income. Our current systems can't cover everything.
If we want to prevent maintainer burnout, we need better support structures. Which isn't going to happen with anymore Orgs set up specially.

Can't believe some people need to be told that everyone has ideology like everyone has culture like everyone has an accent. I always roll my eyes at people who act like ideology is when you're too stubborn about your beliefs, that everyone has ideology but me, the one true social scientist!

having now seen a total eclipse I can confirm that if I had had even 20% less context for what was about to happen I would have immediately started throwing people into nearby volcanos

Don't do this, people. It helps no one and if anything pushes people away from our community.
