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.

4 years ago I convinced the HOA board to leave the leaf litter for the insects to winter in.
Now every summer we have so many fireflies.
New guy just moved in and asked if he should rake up the common areas.
A literal child stood up to say that he shouldn't because they will not have summer fireflies if he does.
So proud of the little one starting to advocate for the world they want to live in.
6 years told and already learning how to get things done.
The leaves will stay.

@joepie91 idk but whoever told me about Open Scanner deserves many thanks. F Adobe, but I need to be able to scan documents with my phone since the HP scanner and printer I own refuses to connect to T-Mobile Internet, therefore I can’t even use it connected to my laptop with a cord.

what do I think of Germany denazifying after world war 2? I think It's been like 80 years and they should probably hurry up and get on with it

"Behind every error blamed on computers there are at least two human errors, including the error of blaming it on the computer."
Apparently matrix.org runs Synapse Proprietary now.
Did someone make a list of "AI-free alternatives to software" yet?

As some additional context: the other person in this screenshot is not a beginner. They are a professional web developer who has been around in this community for years, and who builds production systems.

Just released a page about Air to Ground Signals, which is about how to communicate with aircraft in the sky when on land, or the water, in the event of an accident.
If you've ever wondered why so many websites are a fragile JS hellscape, here's what a typical conversation in a web development channel might look like, and I think that tells you all you need to know
Well, that's a first, in last night's dreams my brain made up an XKCD that didn't exist
The whole thing with the Honey scam once again shows that if you don't personally understand a company's business model and how they make money, it's probably a good idea to stay away from it...

Dutch design at it’s finest. The DDZ double decker intercity (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NS_DDZ) has some very interesting compartment door handles. They’re designed by an artist with the theme of “forbidden objects”. Throughout the train other usually mundane objects take interesting shapes i.e. the speaker grid plate has a 🍁shape on it (https://www.treinenweb.nl/reviews/34/het-interieur-van-de-nid-bekeken.html).
This is amazing & I’ve not seen sth adjacent before - pls more of this
The results (still to be packaged)...

If you're feeling sick
You can cancel the party or dinner or whatever or tell them you're not coming
Even if it's the last second
You could save someone else from getting sick
And also in some cases, if you cancel, the other party will be relieved that they get some unexpected quiet time
(And also running a script to automatically delete the 850k or so spam users on my Forgejo instance)
Current project: making a utility library to automagically make Promistreams clonable
I wasn't planning to spend this evening on server maintenance, but here we are
