My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
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.

love the pettiness of macos showing windows computers on the lan as old-ass crt monitors displaying a blue screen of death. need more of that energy in my linux
Oh, how I wish that JS had something like obj.$env.identifiername to reference identifiers from the lexical scope in which an object was originally defined

@voidedmain@craftodon.social At the point someone is actively putting themselves in the sights of a fascist military, "stunt" is absurdly understating the commitment.

I'm tired of fellow white folks calling the #FreedomFlotilla a "social media stunt".
"It had to be Greta (Thunberg), because white bodies cause moral dilemmas to regimes build on white supremacy. It had to be Greta, because white resistance makes headlines whilst Black and brown bodies are disposable. It had to be Greta, because white privilege has a responsibility to dismantle empires. [...]"

Dat geldt ook voor de rest van de politieke partijen, trouwens. De enige partij die ik ooit gezien heb die daadwerkelijk solidariteit toont en bij demonstraties blijft hangen ook als het niet volgens plan gaat, is BIJ1. De rest is steevast pleite.
Dat "tijd voor solidariteit"-documentje van GL-PvdA zou een stuk geloofwaardiger zijn als ze niet steeds met de staart tussen de benen weg zouden rennen bij demonstraties zodra de politie losgaat om vervolgens de schuld af te schuiven op 'relschoppers'
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

#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
