hot take, FOSS
The creation of Github has been terrible for FOSS.
Not because the situation before Github was so good (it wasn't), but because Github didn't actually solve any of those problems but it made it *look* like it did, and at the same time socially 'locked in' a toxic contribution and interaction model.
software development
It occurs to me that a lot of framework developers are perfectly happy to build frameworks that are opinionated about how developers "should" be doing things, while completely failing to be opinionated about how the result should 'feel' to (or behave for) the end user

Dat tegelijkertijd die gehaktbal met miljoenen euro’s aan vleesreclame door de strot wordt geduwd, is vrije economie'. https://www.bnnvara.nl/joop/artikelen/betuttel-wat-je-wil-behouden

NLpol, very silly joke, lewd-adj
@smveerman @lis the name goes back to when it was illegal for them to exist and they needed a cover story, by keeping the name they’re keeping that era in memory

The biggest lie you were ever told is that the world needs CEOs or presidents or whatnot. That some privileged clueless asshat – and it’s usually a guy – needs to make the “hard decisions” that the everyday people who keep things running and actually know shit are apparently incapable of making because they might just make them in ways that benefit their communities and humanity at large instead of playing some psychopathic and self-destructive zero sum game with all our futures. Fuck ‘em. Fuck the lot of ‘em. Oh, you’re a “leader” are you? Fuck you. The world doesn’t need you or your toxic bullshit. You’re worse than useless.

@elilla on top of that; being good at nothing and/or doing nothing is morally superior to a lot of people doing things in a very skilled manner (geologists at oil companies, engineers at weapons manufacturers, etc.)

The subject is not whether we accomplish anarchism today, tomorrow, or within ten centuries, but that we walk towards anarchism today, tomorrow, and always.

US pol, Musk
He should be spoken of only in terms of disgust and derision.
subtoot, ableism
It's very unfortunate when someone makes a good point in principle, about "posting the right things online" not being effective activism in and of itself...
... and then for whatever reason feels the need to extrapolate that to "the only valid form of activism is if you put your body in front of cops", which is not only ignorant to diversity of tactics and supporting care work, but also ableist as fuck.
Speaking of which, it's very easy to make your own liquid soap from a bar of soap. You literally just crush/shave/whatever the bar of soap, and drop it into a big pot of boiling water and let it boil for a while. Ta-da, liquid soap.
Exact ratio may vary by soap, I don't remember the rule of thumb but it should be pretty easy to find.
The consistency will be less nice than commercial liquid soap, but if you can only find biodegradable soap in bar form, this is one way to turn it liquid, and it does in fact work with standard liquid soap dispensers.
(Do keep in mind that you will need to wash the pot thoroughly after use. I'd recommend doing this stuff in batches so that you only have to clean it once for a big supply.)
