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 think it's kind of fucking insane that not absolutely, positively everything is open source. Cars are a great example. Every time a new model of car comes out, mechanics around the world have to collectively reverse engineer on it, and find out what the car company broke this time around. The amount of time and effort that is wasted by these extremely talented people that could have been spent just fixing the fucking thing, if only they had specs, designs, firmware source code, etc is abhorrent.

@riley So what I'm getting from this is "it's only really worth it if you are literally Amazon" 🙃

When I talk about how Black people of all genders experience an ungendering in an antiblack world
When I talk about how gender is always about race
This is a good illustration of what I'm getting at.
People keep claiming that they use AWS because it's "easier than running my own server" and then I see them an hour later running into the most asinine and specialized issues and, honestly, I just do not believe them

Note to white fedizens: Your takeaway from @CaribenxMarciaX 's article should NOT be to witch hunt all Black fedizens named Jay, or to police YOUR perceptions of peoples' Blackness (see my prior post on this). Plenty of Black people named Jay on the Fediverse are real people, not scammers. The ISSUE is most of you, to quote Dr. X here, "do not know nor engage with communities of color," and ESPECIALLY not in a meaningful way as equals, and ESPECIALLY not with any nuance.

@smveerman "De minister wil de pluriformiteit in het nieuwe stelsel waarborgen door de nieuwe omroephuizen te verplichten alle geluiden in de samenleving te laten horen."
Ah ja, zoals de NTR dus al deed, door onderbelichte zaken naar voren te brengen. En die wordt dan opgeheven.
Wat een gelul ook weer van een uitermate racistisch kabinet. Ik zou er geld om verwedden dat "alle geluiden" hier vooral both-sidesism betekent dat voornamelijk de gevestigde partijen ten goede komt.

there's some kind of morbid fascination in me about how so many fucked up things that are happening to us right now make amazing lore for some ruined grimdark cyberpunk world. we might forget important data on climate change and technology and agriculture because we stored all our data on cloud servers that belonged to megacorpos? holy fucking shit this is a fucking ttrpg campaign right here. with scathing critique of technocapital!

@alina I take full responsibility for the horror that I have created :p
@alina Nope, BuyVM - but this is a really cursed setup (LV that glues together local disk and network attached storage for root fs) so it's probably not quite the provider's fault
@navi I made a similar choice around the same time, and it's remarkable how well it can work, and how quickly you become uninteresting as a target once someone realizes this...
Okay, getting I/O errors and a readonly-remounted filesystem on a VPS is definitely a first for me...

And yes, I have the pictures and paper cuts from newspapers to show them. Their faces light up when they see them. They wonder why I did what I did. They don't always agree. But those are the best discussions we have, discussions that bring us together. Totally worth it. Get on the streets, friends and followers. Not just for your kids. But for every kid out there, looking for a way to channel their rage and dissatisfaction.

Dear young parents. My kids are in their 20s. You know what impresses them most? What they keep on asking about? The stories of my political activism. How I joined protests when I was their age and even younger. How I organised protests and political influence when they were still shitting their diapers. This is why they are active too. Why they are alert when things change. So here's my advice to you, young parents: protest. Get out. Your kids will be proud of you and will become active too.

The latest proprietary #VSCode extension that no longer works in non-Microsoft builds of the MIT licensed VS Code source code appears to be C and C++ support.
Your regular reminder: every day more of VSCode functionality is proprietary, and increasingly #FOSS hostile.
@pascaline @JDGooiker Nou ja, doorgaans hebben fabrieken machines die gekke deeltjes herkennen, zoals metaal of steentjes, alles wat niet in eten thuishoort zeg maar.
Volgens Tony Chocolonely was het probleem dat ze van leverancier waren geswitcht voor de amandelen, en dat daar dus steentjes inzaten die de machine niet kon herkennen om e.o.a. reden. Misschien kan het zo zijn dat de machine om dezelfde reden ook metaaldeeltjes niet kon herkennen, in de repen voor de Aldi? Als ze inderdaad van dezelfde fabrikant zijn.
