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.

Hey look another new monolithic JS bundler that claims to be magically faster and that breaks compatibility with every existing build tool, even though that wasn't actually necessary to solve the claimed performance issues

So apparently Nix can just, like, transparently fetch whatever thing you're trying to run if it isn't installed on your system yet. What

Some trans people know at age 6, some at 26, some at 86. This used to be a thing that gatekeepers got in a huff about but even they don't care so much anymore.
Whatever age you figure out how to be happy is the right age for you. Seize it. Be beautiful. I believe in you.
Can't help but feel like a bunch of small/mid-sized companies are increasingly making the NixOS community their personal battleground, and I hate it
The various replies I've been getting to my Congress COVID thread are certainly a very good illustration of why I do not "trust in the [orga] process".

To angry straights and respectability gays everywhere:
If your day can be ruined by the mere fact of me wearing tights that make me happy
You deserve to have your day ruined

The whole PolyMC thing is tragic but its successor has a gay logo now sooo it was Worth it
And if you don't have an answer to "how will the supply chain have been improved if my company folds tomorrow", then you're not rescuing the supply chain at all, you're just running a business
Like, all the systemic industry-wide security issues weren't solved with More Capitalism the last 3 times people tried that either, and in the end it was always some frustrated unpaid random creature with an angry blog post who did the actual work, if it was ever solved at all
Not so excited about the sudden explosion of "supply chain security startups" whose sales pitch seems to basically be that we can solve systemic problems with FOSS dependency security and funding by just Buying Their Specific Magical Product, rather than a commons-based solution.

It's also extremely telling how many people seem to be much angrier about me causing a stink, than about the prospect of vulnerable/disabled folks being excluded.

Transphobia
There was research a few years ago about online interactions with racists. The researcher found that tweeting at people "don't be racist" caused a reduction in the racist's use of slur terms and bigotry **if** the account telling them to stop had a white male user icon and more than 500 followers. The same tweet coming from a black or low-follower icon triggered greater racism.
Assuming that all bigotry has authoritarian characteristics, arguing with transphobic strangers online is statistically not likely to be a good use of time for accounts belonging to people who are identifiable as trans. This is a place where cis allies can step in - especially if they have characteristics in common with the transphobes. Cis radical feminists asking terfs to stop **is** a good use of time.
In the study, the two accounts had only one interaction. So cis allies with 500+ followers can just say "don't be transphobic" and then ghost them and that would still be helpful.
We as trans people can help reduce transphobia by leveraging our existing relationships. We can make ourselves known as trans and that tends to have a positive effect. We can use the techniques in SPLC's guide on responding to every day bigotry. https://www.splcenter.org/20150125/speak-responding-everyday-bigotry Online, we can give our associates our blessing to act as allies and suggestions for how they might do that.
People who are de radicalised from transphobia (or who are bounced out) do need support, but, I dunno, I don't know how to offer that and I don't know if I want to learn.

Also, something I want to clarify: my criticism isn't and never was towards those in orga who were trying to keep the event safe for everybody. I recognize that some of those involved in the orga will have tried their best. My criticisms were specifically about those who didn't.

Update: it's just been announced that (centralized) Congress will be cancelled this year: https://ccc.de/en/updates/2022/no-congress-2022
Mixed feelings; I would have liked to see it continue with safety measures, but this is certainly better than continuing it with *no* measures.
The alternative suggested in the post (smaller local events) is probably a good one; the overall risk should be much lower there. I'm also more optimistic about Camp; with it being outdoors (= lots of natural ventilation), it would be much easier to limit the spread.
