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.

(It's Tether/Bitfinex who have taken it over, by the way. Yeah, the ones who have been artificially pumping up exchange rates.)
I sure wonder how all the past grant providers, such as NLnet, feel about the core protocol being taken out of open governance, and instead captured by cryptoshit scammers: https://github.com/dat-ecosystem-archive/organization#grants-and-grant-applications
Guess I'll have to look for a new stack for my P2P project...
Oh jesus christ, *of course* it's fucking cryptobros. Fucking hell. Well, RIP hypercore I guess.
Welp, apparently Hypercore is a company now. Sigh.

Massachusetts HS can’t turn off lights <https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/01/us-school-runs-lights-24-7-365-the-smart-lights-have-been-broken-since-2021/>. Basically, they installed a ‘smart’ lighting system relying on proprietary software that the vendor no longer supports. The system failed and the lights are stuck permanently on.
And this, friends, is the problem with unfree software.

Everyone should read about the #prison trusty system. Not "trustee" (plural: trustees), but trusty (plural: trusties). I think it's key to understanding #patriarchy. 1/15
*Something* about the sound mixing in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ivF-cdqxjQ makes my brain tickle, but *only* on my speakers... on headphones it just sounds noisy

Elke keer als ik een analyse lees van deze of gene politicus of erger nog: minister die simpelweg niet beter weet en schijnbaar informatie niet heeft die ik elke dag zie langskomen, weet ik: die wil dat niet weten of doet alsof omdat het niet uitkomt. Het is hun werk om het wel te weten.

Is het jullie trouwens ook al eens opgevallen dat mensen die niets anders doen dan een beter leven voor zichzelf bouwen automatisch kwade intenties worden toegeschreven terwijl mensen die armoede en dood op hun geweten hebben tot ver voorbij elke redelijke twijfel worden neergezet als mensen met de beste intenties?

transphobia
Got to love the NYTimes running another transphobic article on the front page! Well now's as good a time as ever to get my school to cancel their institutional NYTimes subscription. Going to make a fucking big deal out of this, absolutely pisses me the fuck off.
It uses all of your favourite "look at us being your Friends and being Cool" marketing of course
Oh boy, apparently there's a new proprietary web browser, promising to build a 'new internet'. Yay. We definitely needed more of those.
