everyone should do a writers strike i think. no more emails. no more documents. no more typing. throw that keyboard out the window and watch a bird or something

Last year, a couple things happened relevant to the current discussion.

In July, a report was forwarded from Weirder Earth to stop.voring.me, Kainoa's instance, about a Donald Trump parody account. Over the course of about a day as the Weirder Earth mod team discussed action, Kainoa:

- reached out to talk about the report,
- did not get an immediate reply (because we were still deliberating), and
- declared (coincidentally, in a reply to Eris of disqordia.space) that Weirder Earth had called stop.voring.me "right-wing". https://stop.voring.me/notes/92f5dvsfu5

To be explicit: at this point, there was one report and zero mod statements from w.e, and the report said nothing about wings. This public statement by Kainoa was straight-up false.

At the time, we sent an email back and let this go.

And then in August, Kainoa joined in Eris's thread maligning ubuntu.buzz, a Black-centric instance, for blocking racists: https://akko.disqordia.space/notice/AMOna3GxzSqiJN6t9M

I have never been so personally called out by a meme in my fucking life.

I've seen latest Dell XPS keyboard today, and it hurts on multiple levels.

There are two types of people.

"You are a software worker. And you are able to do your job in more or less good conditions only because you are standing on the shoulders of countless others. No, we are not talking here about Open Source. We are talking about the fact that if you have 20 days of holidays, if you only work 5 days a week, if you are able to take some days or weeks off after the birth of your child, it is because some others before you have sacrificed their lives so you can work in decent conditions."

Looking for recommendations for text recognition from scans/photos → plain text with reasonably low error rate from my awful handwriting.

I prefer my notes digital to be searchable and harder to lose track of 😅 so I tend to type them directly or handwrite on a tablet, but I love writing with fountain pen and paper and I've always wanted to incorporate that better into my digital workflow.

Ideally open source, but will also consider paying for a service if good and doesn't sell all my data.

This is probably the best paper I’ve read written on this subject.

What is remarkable is that it basically took just talking to six women/gender diverse people to figure out the common themes that came up.

So often we know what people are doing wrong and what we need, but we need people to actually listen to us.

So glad that there is more acknowledgment that masking is traumatic. It innately tells you to be something you are not.

I did it not because I wanted to, but because if I didn’t I risked social isolation.

But it comes at a huge cost… decades of my life repeatedly burning out just existing in the NT world that culminated in a complete mental breakdown.

Most common people won't be affected by Google's new DRM bs, nearly only people who want (and oftentimes *need* privacy, which also tend to be marginalized people who have a very good reason for it) care, and making the people who are effectively unaffected by whatever bullshit corporations pull annoyed is the entire point

"I got reported for NO REASON and the moderator agreed with the report" is a conspiracy theory as old as language

If you're still using Chrome for performance reasons:
- Firefox is now faster than Chrome out-of-the-box
- Firefox uses less memory than Chrome
- Contrary to Chrome, Firefox does not restrict Ad blockers, which will make your browsing experience much faster (and safer).
