Dear @libreoffice - read the room, please. Blockchain is NOT something your wider community is interested in. To put it friendly. Putting out a blog entry trying to raise interest in Blockchain and LibreOffice is so badly timed that I am astonished it even made it through your editorial process.

Would've appreciated a notice from ... whoever it is outside my window doing what sounds like a rave.
Have a blast, mate. But you should at least send folks notices or attach them to the doors of *residences* and let them know that their evenings are going to be full of music they can't drown out, even with their windows closed.

meta, hackyderm.io

Where do I begin?
Description: "We are hackers, [...]"
Rules: "No hacking"?
What is it?

@rgegriff I think a common misconception of mastodon is that because many instances have a central theme, that that is the only content you're allowed to post there, and in my experience that's extremely rare

@joepie91 This is also why NGOs are able to get away with a lot of the exploitation and abuses they do. The veneer of niceness helps enable it and makes it so much easier to overlook how awful they can be.
I almost can't believe I need to repeat this, but: the "nice" companies are the *most dangerous* ones.
re: meta, hachyderm, corporate capture
Can the corporate apologists kindly stop replying to this with some variation of "not all corporations are bad"?
You are not telling me anything I haven't heard a thousand times in my time on this earth, and there is a *reason* I am not considering it as a valid counterargument.
Maybe think about why that is, before assuming that I must just be clueless on the matter.

luring all the corporations onto a mastodon instance and then throwing the server down a well, thereby killing all the corporations instantly, the curse is lifted
NGOs stop using "anarchy" as an ignorant insult challenge (impossible)

Inventing a new type of person in my head, they’re in their late 30s, devopsy and they fucking love capitalism and also think mastodon is a brand new toy just for them, that nobody else had discovered til November 2022

@joepie91 some people have truly learned absolutely nothing about inviting corporations into open source projects

meta, hachyderm, corporate capture
Heads-up for any folks on hachyderm.io: I would recommend picking a different instance, as it seems likely that it'll get defederated from quite a few places at some point.
They seem to not only be happy with corporate accounts[1], but also apparently seek to "introduce trust with corporations" [and draw them to fedi?], which uhhhh yeah no.
This is a space for people, not for corporations. Let's not repeat the errors of the FOSS community (that eventually led to near-total corporate capture of FOSS) by inviting corporations into our spaces, not even "as long as they play nice".

homophobia discussion
Actually having queer friendships and relationships, participating in queer culture, and learning queer history have proven time and again to illustrate how the bigots and hate mongers of our world have either completely misunderstood us, or have willfully obfuscated the reality of who are and what are about.
They are forced to misrepresent us, because their arguments wilt when faced with the truth.
