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.

I find it *really* weird when people complain that AI critics are "not nuanced enough" - I can assure you that a billion-dollar industry does not need you to defend it, and that if there are actual legitimate purposes, they'll shake out regardless of what critics say or do

When you say, "Wow your lunch looks fire" or similar
In your mind, is that written as:

#AskFedi: Is there a list of (software) projects which have knowingly accepted "AI" contributions, or actively use or encourage "AI" for development? :boost_requested:
(Not looking for lists of *suspicions*, just the cases where it's documented and known and intentional)

Ink and Switch wrote a nice blogpost recently talking about "Malleable Software" https://www.inkandswitch.com/essay/malleable-software/
It resonated with me a lot. The idea of building software that has an on-ramp that keeps on-ramping, guiding a user to not only become an expert, but to make the software their own, really resonated with me.
It's felt for a long time that Gnome has gone in the opposite direction. Trying to make something easy and clean, but end users aren't part of that journey.
(And no, Powershell and Nushell are not solutions to this, they still try to implement the same fundamental model)
Like, there's so much potential for terminal-like interfaces that just nothing is being done with because people insist on hanging onto an emulator design for a 50 year old terminal, and we're all losing out on so much possible accessibility and functionality as a result of it
I feel like some day I'll end up making a terminal/shell just to get something I actually *enjoy* using

How come we call them fursuit makers when we could be calling them tailers send toot

@schratze my dad has a mug with a full graph of how to do what in vim printed on it. Unfortunately, and probably intentionally, the mug is too small for the size of the graph, so in downsizing the writing is pixelated and very hard to read

have you ever considered multi-colour STN-Displays? They look fantastic and make for great macro shots!
If I’m not fully mistaken this is a so called CCSTN display that doesn’t use a filter to colour the pixels, but rather an optical effect called birefringence. This display does not dim when a different voltages are applied across its pixels, but change colour! So cool and such weird tones :3
Depending on the camera and light angles used, the colours and contrast fully change

This just in: mild protests and a couple of fires don't have the destructive capacity to level Los Angeles
And yet a very significant amount of project maintainers and even community managers genuinely believe this
