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.

meta, mastodon, vis.social admin
My understanding of Mastodon culture is that consent is a huge part of every feature and practice.
As a moderator, the explosion of images that were created with tools built with apparently stolen artworks, without consent of the artists who created them, was stressful...to put it mildly.
So we asked folks on vis.social to stop posting them. As did other instances.
The push-back was also stressful. So we had to make it a Rule.

tech, outages, rant
The thing with big-brand services having outages due to expired certificates and shit like that, isn't that it's a show of incompetence - this can occasionally happen anywhere.
Rather, the problem are the people who assume "big company, so it's perfect and would never go down or make mistakes", and the corporate propaganda that reinforces those beliefs. It doesn't work that way.

Heads up: If you're a Comcast/Xfinity user, check your bank for suspicious charges.
I got two fraudulent debits on a virtual card number which has never been disclosed to any merchant other than Comcast.

"When Justice is only violence, violence is the only justice"
Seen in Paris during the ongoing mass protests against Macron's retirement law.
hospital food, funny
*Of course* I would be the one to discover a bug in the food menu; a menu item that is not only non-existent but also has a strange low-sodium classification that made the order-taking person go "????" and is now subject of internal investigation
I truly have the cursed touch

The unions are asking for at least 10,5% more pay and a general lift of 250€/mo for everyone, based on 10+% inflation since quite some time now. The employers offer 5% and a one-time payment of 2.500€.

A new day, a new time zone database release: https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz-announce/2023-March/date.html
Ramadan Mubarak to all the Egyptian and Lebanese software providers that now need to scramble to get their stuff updated because their government gave them less than a week notice of these changes.
hospital, +
So like, the room and food are nice and all, but perhaps the most surprisingly positive thing about this hospital is that they got me a private room because of my noise/stimuli sensitivity
... without me even needing to ask for it.
Likewise they asked me whether there's anything they could do to make my stay nicer, ND-wise

Casual UvA: how to organise a grading strike with 200 lecturers
https://www.doorbraak.eu/casual-uva-how-to-organise-a-grading-strike-with-200-lecturers/
"Last spring the organisation Casual UvA (University of Amsterdam) staged an impressive grading strike involving over 200 university lecturers on temporary contracts. Lecturers refused to submit their students’ grades into the administrative system as a way of putting pressure on university management. Casual UvA’s main issue was the successive one-year contracts that temporary contract workers received, only to be fired after three temporary contracts.
We talked to Casual UvA representative Alex Lopez about the strike, and about how Casual UvA itself is organised." 👌

If GitHub cannot secure their own server’s private key from accidental disclosure, you think any crypto companies can?
