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.

i am so tired of the constant capitulation of queers and furries to the whims of what people who hate us will say or do or think. "this is too cringe, this is too lewd, this is too weird, this is too x y z" why care?

To elaborate on that last point a bit: anyone can write some code. I am saying this as someone who does this professionally at a significant hourly rate. Sure, quality is going to vary between programmers, but the 'writing code' itself really isn't the difficult part.
You know what's the actual hard work? Dealing with the human factors. Understanding people's needs. Resolving conflicts. Fostering healthy and independent, resilient communities. Dealing with bigotry and other toxic behaviour. Doing this for years on end. Weaving all of these factors into the *design* of your code.
Notably, all those things that software developers are infamous for failing to do, and that are frequently feminine-coded or branded as "unskilled".
I really cannot emphasize strongly enough how much you *shouldn't* take someone as a role model just because they write a lot of code, or even nominally popular code.

I'm growing very tired of dansup's nonsense already, and by extension, how many people are falling for his whole 'strongman' theater.
We do not need or want more dudes trying to claim the spotlight for fedi, thanks. The loud people are rarely the ones doing the important work, despite their own claims. And code usually isn't the important work either.

The Proud Boys lost their trademark and logo rights to a Black church they vandalized.

dansup, nonsense
I've done the math carefully and estimated that the average dansup project is 25% open source

TIL that there's a utility called kio-fuse which just completely solves the "cannot open files from remote filesystems without copying first in KDE" issue on #NixOS

If you use #NameCheap for anything, another round of "Your Auto-Renewal Payment Didn’t Go Through" phishing emails are hitting inboxes. #infosec
Where they are getting real emails that link up to real domain renewal whois records, esp if you use domain privacy options, I'm not sure. They sent it to a dedicated email account that I use exclusively for Namecheap that shouldn't be in the publicverse.
uspol, 50501 protest, warning!
@NinjaKoala @audreygwinter @rabbit It doesn't if you don't know exactly how to leverage that collective power, which is very likely especially for new folks.
There's a reason 'divide and conquer' is such a common tactic for oppression of resistance.

uspol, 50501 protest, warning!
If you’ve heard about the 50501 protest (“50 protests in 50 states”), PLEASE be advised that it is really fishy. People in our local organizing community and in other states have looked into it and cannot find the organizers. Especially if you are a new activist, please get in contact with local long-time activist orgs and get plugged in. Learn from them!

I've wanted to create a gas giant in 3D with procedural clouds since watching the movie "2010" over four decades ago. I'm so pleased that I finally got the chance to do so.

Dank u voor de meer dan 100 persoonlijke reacties op m'n Cloud Kootwijk stuk! Ik heb het geprobeerd maar het is niet haalbaar inhoudelijk op iedereen te reageren, wat knap ellendig voelt, maar het is nu even niet anders. Wel kom ik de komende dagen met een reactie naar iedereen. Sorry hiervoor, maar ik ben echt overdonderd! https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/mailen-en-communiceren-zonder-musk-en-trump-cloud-kootwijk/

Is there any website/seller that do reproduction GB cartridge labels that look close to the real thing i.e. reproducing the sheen on the silver edges of the label and nintendo seal of quality logo?
Or if not, what’s the best option you’d recommend?
Like, you literally just have to add it to your systemPackages and that's it, now it all works and it auto-generates FUSE mounts for stuff instead of expecting every application to support KIO explicitly (which of course only KDE software does)

CW-boost: politiek (VS en NL)
@hedders The interesting thing is that I haven't just noticed it for Linux, but also for eg. Godot or Blender!
@Gaelan I'd say I've been noticing it for the past two years or so.
