oh hell, WHY is https://consoledonottrack.com/ a thing, NOT tracking should be the default
guess a little project of mine will soon be some code such that any process that needs network access needs to be explicitly be allowed such a thing..... as we have gone off about before, tracking as a default is not a policy you should even consider
stop gathering data you don't absolutely need.....

devenv generate uploads repo contents
Unfortunately #nixpkgs is not well-equipped to resolve this conflict. There is no explicit policy and common sense seems not to be equally distributed.
Ultimately this is a governance issue for #NixOS where the steering committee would be in a great position to limit the scope of what is acceptable behaviour.
In fact, if you have an opinion on the matter, please reach out to any steering committee representative and tell them:

Like, I cannot emphasize this enough: the goal of these 'debates' is not to defend or justify the sketchy practices. The goal is to keep everybody busy 'debating' so that nobody is putting a stop to it and it is de facto already permitted.
They don't need to convince anyone to 'win'. They just need to keep the discussion going in perpetuity. #NixOS
(What this strategy reminds you of, is an exercise for the reader.)
And the more room for 'debate' that you give these people, the longer you are providing cover for all the sketchy shit that they're doing while the governance outcomes are perpetually in limbo and nobody feels empowered to put a stop to it.
Like, no, when someone is constantly doing sketchy things, and always conveniently finding a way not to engage with the criticism, you *don't* actually have to give them the benefit of the doubt, you can just tell them "no, fuck off".
I don't think the endless stream of governance conflicts in #NixOS is going to be resolved until people learn to say "no".

the fire is NIS2, the fire is semver, the fire is flakes, the fire is the module system, the fire is sexism, the fire is code of conduct, the fire is military sponsorships, the fire is conflicts of interest, the house is barely standing, but just one more discussion chat just one more we’ll fix it just one more long drawn out debate and then we’ll change everything it will be so different this time I swear just one more governance restructuring just one more just

I’ve noticed there is a huge fire in your bedroom, but before we can do anything I’d prefer if we opened an RFC to make sure that everyone agrees that-
Oh what is that, the house burned down while we were pontificating the finer points of- Where are you going! COME BACK AND ARGUE WITH ME

devenv generate uploads repo contents
The #devenv CLI does not do informed consent and neither `devenv.sh` nor `devenv.new` have a privacy policy or will tell you who runs the service and who it shares its data with.
In #nixpkgs the package was bumped to 1.4.0 after which a contributor immediately sent a follow-up PR¹ to enable `DO_NOT_TRACK=1` when wrapping the devenv binary.
This was promptly reverted² by the author of devenv.

devenv generate uploads repo contents
If you're using #devenv for your projects, please note that the new `generate` command in 1.4.0 uses your repository content.
It tars up all files it can find through `git ls-files -z`³ and exfiltrates them to the service.
It handles `DO_NOT_TRACK=`¹ by sending that intent along² as a query string, so now you need to trust the service to not keep data.

some lesson I learned last year, for people who are considering adding their fedi handle to their CV: don't. Only add the profile URL. HR people *will* confuse this for an email address even though it's not listed as such and is prefixed by an @
politics, privilege, liberals going "how could this happen"
I think the continued bafflement of liberals as to "how it could get this bad" is pretty easy to explain by looking at how it's almost always (relatively) privileged folks.
If you always believe that you are the most qualified person in the room, regardless of the subject, because you have never been told 'no' (which is common with privilege), then you're probably going to conclude that because *you* didn't see it coming, nobody else must have seen it coming either.
accident analysis
Looks like the accident report for the Jetline accident at Grona Lund came out - and there's a Coaster College video going over it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMh0imnNGck
(For those unfamiliar, Coaster College is pretty much the one channel that does in-depth and accurate analysis videos about ride accidents, with none of the sensationalism and hyperbole that you see on other channels)

So true! My family love to buy me three thousand gift packs of sledgehammer ice shower gel and burning factory deodorant each christmas.

why deodorant marketed towards men always has to have some unpleasant sharp scent. "feminine" sticks are like "cherry blossom" or "papaya delight" or "lavender breeze" and "masculine" sticks be like RAW CONCRETE. ELECTRIFIED CEDARWOOD. CAFFEINATED ARMOR-PIERCING AMMUNITION

Hi, I'm Sharon and I care about de-shitting the world. My contribution to that effort: my anti-racism newsletter where I share my experiences of racism around the globe and platform Black founders and activists trying to redress inequality. I'm a former trade journalist, journalism lecturer and freelance writer. I have lived and worked in many places, and am currently in Barbados. I love reading (and no, it doesn't have to be highbrow), words, Star Trek and learning new things. #introduction

Houd fascisten van onze straten!
Op de dag na de Internationale Dag tegen #Racisme van 21 maart willen de neo-nazi’s door de straten van Baarn marcheren. Dat mogen we niet laten gebeuren, zeker niet nu we ook met een #extreemrechts kabinet zitten. Samen met andere organisaties organiseren we een tegenprotest en zeggen we: Geen haat in onze straat! Demonstreer mee!
