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’ve come to realize that the traditional classroom isn’t so much about learning as it is creating the illusion of learning from standardization, and favors those who can disproportionately exploit that. It doesn’t allow for individual comprehension rates (can that even be measured?) or relevant tangents. It’s one size fits all vs. diversity and that doesn’t work.

so I've started seeing Mastodon apps fetch posts in threads from other servers directly, bypassing server blocks.
This is ... this is deeply concerning to me.

The lead attorney for GitHub arguing that #Copilot using #OpenSource is fair use following precedent from #Oracle Vs #Google is Annette Hurst, who represented Oracle and personally argued against the verdict in public on Twitter.

honestly git should just take the author name/email out of the commit hash. "i need to rewrite the entire git history to replace the author name" - statements dreamed up by the utterly cis

I'd live in a lighthouse if it wasn't like, obviously haunted, but if have the irresistible urge to retrofit the big lamp into an addressable rgb led setup, like I've done in many smaller projects already

Decades of research prove that the best way to end homelessness is...
Give people a home. Seriously. That's it. No strings, no prerequisites, no faith-based, holistic, means-tested, yoga-cebtric meditation parole. Just a home.

Morning mograph. Just a silly morning exercise, while trying to remember what I was gonna build last night. This came about because I was thinking about some of my tools, and realized that if I took a flat plane of particles and ran the circular bend twice, I'd get a spherical pattern.

Unlearning How White People Ask Personal Questions
https://washingtonmonthly.com/2014/05/05/unlearning-how-white-people-ask-personal-questions/
tech, rant, techbros
Honestly, techbros have kind of ruined tech for me... 😐
As a hobby, I can barely even enjoy it anymore - I have to constantly be on the lookout for people trying to squeeze a buck out of me, platforming fascists, or generally being shitty asshats to other people with zero accountability.
Even worse when I'm trying to build on existing work by someone who turns out to be like that - it feels like I'm perpetually building on quicksand, and good-faith collaboration is almost impossible.
And even a lot of supposedly leftist tech spaces have adopted (parts of) this kind of toxic culture... like the "contempt culture" shit (https://blog.aurynn.com/2015/12/16-contempt-culture)
