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.

palestine +
as a result of the months-long student encampment for palestine at swansea university, the uni has agreed to divest 5 million from barclays bank ❤️💚🤍🖤
when they hold banner drops on the bridge over the big road, all the traffic beeps in support too <3
re: hot take, subtoot
This applies doubly so for *security* advice, which is what this is originally subtooting.
hot take, subtoot
If you defend bad advice in an article with "it's just boilerplate", you're just confirming that the advice is bad, actually.
Don't give authoritative-sounding advice if you understand the subject so poorly that you have to resort to boilerplate.

politics
@ainmosni @Anke That's collectivism vs. individualism; though those map very closely onto egalitarian vs. hierarchical, because the purpose of individualism is to gain an advantage over others (which is a goal provided by hierarchy) whereas the purpose of collectivism is to collectively move ahead everyone's well-being (which is an egalitarian measure).
Cases of individualism masquerading as collectivism notwithstanding (eg. authoritarian 'communist' governments).
politics
@ainmosni @Anke I mean, this may end up being a definitional issue, but by the only definition I've ever found that makes sense (left = egalitarian, right = hierarchical), bigotry *has* to exist on some level for right-wing ideology to function, because there needs to be a 'lesser' class of people for a 'justified' hierarchy to be able to exist.
@fenandaj@mstdn.social (Om wat specifieker te zijn: "iedereen kan een dader worden" is een belangrijk inzicht voor mensen persoonlijk, om zichzelf niet te vrijwaren - terwijl "de meeste mensen deugen" een belangrijk inzicht is voor hoe je met mensen in gesprek gaat en gezonde gemeenschappen bouwt, zeker als activist)
@fenandaj@mstdn.social Ik vind de framing van dat artikel persoonlijk erg jammer.
De redeneringen an sich kloppen; de dynamiek van leiders en volgelingen, de verschillende motivaties, dat dit iets is waar iedereen in kan vallen, dat klopt allemaal.
Maar vervolgens probeert het dat te contrasteren tegen het boek van Bregman, alsof daarin wordt beweerd dat de meeste mensen goed zijn en geen kwaad kunnen doen - maar dat beweert het helemaal niet! Sterker nog, het benoemt expliciet dat dat niet het geval is.
Zowel "iedereen kan een dader worden" als "de meeste mensen hebben niet de *intentie* om dat te doen" zijn belangrijk inzichten om systemische problemen op te kunnen lossen, en het is wat mij betreft niet zinvol om ze (zoals dit artikel doet) tegenover elkaar te zetten... ze vullen elkaar aan.

thinking of how formerly open source corporate like Red Hat or HashiCorp are migrating to more restrictive licenses because they don't want the Big 5 to appropriate their labour, while FOSS people still reject ethical and anti-capitalist licenses in favour of Freedom 0 dogma, even after being repeatedly backstabbed by Apple, Google etc. and after watching their free labour bankroll the likes of Anduril or the IDF.
@scanlime My *suspicion* would be that even if someone offered it, this would be close to unusable for latency reasons; even supposedly latency-tolerant mounts (like sshfs or samba mounts) often end up breaking stuff because of this, so I imagine that an assumed-fast link like iscsi might be even worse :/

PSA: how to keep using ublock origin on chrome
a lot of people are using this as an opportunity to switch to firefox, but some people need to keep using chrome for some things, or just prefer it in general. so:

Adobe is trying to claim right of access to all of your projects for them to use to train their "AI," regardless of things like NDA, meaning that they are willing to violate HIPAA laws, FERPA laws, and any number of binding civil structures:

The cool thing about cracked adobe products is that blocking their access to the internet is usually part of the crack. Piracy and privacy are besties

Too many people don't know how to handle a situation where formerly foundational concepts like "facts" and "the rule of law" are flouted by some and embraced by others.
When it's your job to find cohesive, nuanced truth and someone calls that very concept "devisive" or "political," you Keep Doing Your Job.
