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.

hot take on hrt.
you could fill an entire “they have played us for absolute fools” meme template with things endocrinologists say, recommend, demand and prescribe to trans people.
🤔 I wonder if the "have an antivirus installed" step of PCI compliance could be technically satisfied by installing a program that detects the EICAR test string and nothing else

@joepie91 yeahhhhh, I'm worried too. We might also see a resurgance of malware, as people stop updating instead of throwing away tho...

@joepie91 it's honestly outrageous that I can play modern games on my hardware but not run windows 11. Why isn't any government suing the shit out of Microsoft?
The myth of patents as a protector of innovation is dying, and I love to see it
(You do not get to respond to this with "use Linux" unless you intend to spend your next year working on perfect Windows application compatibility on Linux)
Deeply concerned about the imminent mountain of e-waste when Windows 10 support ends in 2025/2028.

Ik zoek (gratis) oude winkelinrichting - vooral kledingrekken en van die rekken met een paar 'graaibakken' boven elkaar. Het mag kapot of versleten zijn, zolang er nog maar functioneel bruikbare inrichting van te maken valt.
Dit gaat voor een kleine weggeefwinkel zijn, dus vooral de wat compactere dingen zijn ideaal. Laat het me alsjeblieft weten als je iets hebt staan, of iemand kent die wat heeft!

To the surprise of nobody whose worked on any collaborative projects at scale — people with toxic styles of engagement burn out the people actually doing the work and negatively affect the entire project.
This paper is specifically about Wikipedia, but like no shot this doesn’t apply to open source as well:

EU politics, waste reduction, positive
"On Monday night, Parliament and Council reached a provisional agreement on revising the EU’s ecodesign framework for sustainable products. [...] Specific product requirements will be outlined by the Commission through secondary legislation.
[...]
Negotiators agreed to specifically ban the destruction of unsold apparel, clothing accessories and footwear, two years after the entry into force of the law (six years for medium-sized enterprises). In the future, the Commission may add additional categories to the list of unsold products for which a destruction ban should be introduced."
(Note: this is a *provisional* agreement, many things can still change)
