the real joke is that "apolitical" people who complain about "snowflakes" and their "safe spaces" actually love safe spaces; it's just that their safe spaces are ones where they're free to be openly misogynistic, homophobic, racist, bigoted, and say nazi shit out loud without repercussions

if i were ever to do something so base as have political views, I would simply keep them out of the eternal platonic realm of software development, which is my blessedly apolitical safe space 🤲
(definitely don't ask me where computers came from or what their history is or how they're manufactured or how they're used today or what foss was originally meant to be, or where the computer parts come from, or the political movements that profits from tech companies are going towards, la la la i can't hear you!!!)

My day to day is a constant struggle to do at least the bare minimum to get through life. I don't understand it. I don't care for it. But there it is. I survive. I do my best. And I try not to hold myself to standards set by people who don't deal with the same shit I do.

It is literally impossible to explain ADHD task avoidance to people who don't experience it, I think.
It has to sound absolutely insane to just sit around, filled with dread and anxiety, not doing a small thing you "could do any time" that really needs to get done. And to just continue that way for hours, days, weeks, months, even fucking years.
Like, who lives that way? How can anyone live that way? (I live that way, but I don't know how I survive)

Fedi meta, fash shit, subtoot
By noping out on his own, the fascist ultimately did more for the integrity of the mod team than the mod team did.
I hope the they sit with that for a bit, really think it through.
Thanks to @pixouls I now know what happened, I think! I mixed some home compost into my potting soil, and in the past I've composted... tomatoes! So most likely these are seeds that survived in the compost all that time.
Which, funnily enough, means that I now have tomato plants as a type of weeds

Meta, fosstodon
"the fedi is supposed to be a friendly, welcoming online space, right? But the fact is, it isn't."
Apparently we're supposed to be friendly and welcoming to people who hold far-right, fascist, beliefs, but if they're not friendly and welcoming to us it's fine I guess? 🤷♀️ One rule for me, etc.
(Re. The Fosstodon admin, Kev, table-flipping his way out of the instance: https://kevquirk.com/blog/my-thoughts-on-the-fosstodon-drama . How dare marginalised people ask whether they're safe. So rude of us.)
These are tomato seedlings, right? I'm not missing something? Could they possibly be something else, like a weed?
(I ask because these are showing up in areas that I *definitely* didn't sow tomato seeds in, nor any similar plants...)

@joepie91 what are you building? An industrial PLA composting facility?

They target trans folk because they think cishet folk will look away. They're counting on you not defending those who aren't like you.
They target Black and Brown folk because they think white folk will look away. They're counting on us not defending those who aren't like us.

Just learned about pretendo today.
Pretendo is a free and open source replacement for Nintendo's servers for both the 3DS and Wii U, allowing online connectivity for all, even after the original servers are discontinued
This is so cute and good! 
I spent like, a couple of euros buying these various teas from them while they were on discount, and I don't think I've ever gotten this much disappointment-per-euro before, which I guess is an achievement?

It is also worth noting that none of the self-hosted infrastructure around NixOS ever seems to have this problem
Tech people always defend the SaaS providers with "well they are the experts at running things at scale, we need them" and then nixpkgs breaks Github for the fifth time for no apparent reason except that the repo is big

I don't know about the "vast majority of his fan base" claim, but the other points are good ones regardless.
