Is there a specific name for the "This is not a place of honor" text? I know that it's from "Expert Judgement on Markers to Deter Inadvertent Human Intrusion into the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant" where it's buried in one of the appendices but surely it has its own name, right?
Any tips welcome, please boost, thank you!

I used to have a part time job working in a gift shop. The back room where the merchandise was kept was a mess, everything in disarray and you could find things only if you knew where they were. It made sense to my boss but to literally no one else. Then one time he went away on vacation for a week and left me in charge. You guessed it: I reorganized the back room. Now everyone could find where everything was, not just my boss!
Not sure why I thought of that just now.
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

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.

He should be spoken of only in terms of disgust and derision.
