So here's a quick straw poll - please answer with your first thought, *without* looking it up first! 
Are Github the creators of Git?

With all the recent tech layoffs, I am reminded of this idea:
Workers feel they have no need to organize in prosperous times when work is abundant and wages are fair.
Workers feel they have no Ability to organize in lean times, when layoffs are abundant and wages are contracting.
In both cases, we are wrong. The best time to start organizing was years ago, but the next best time is now.
I don't care what industry you're in, or how comfortable your job is.
The people, united, will never be defeated.

> GitHub is the home of all developers
This sentence gives me chills. My "home" should be a place I own or have security of tenure in, and not a place where people I don't know wander by unannounced to nick my stuff (for "training data")

re: subtoot
Like don't get me wrong, there is obviously nothing wrong with being openly ND, nor with trying to help others with it.
But all these "neurodiversity coaches" always have such a slimy vibe of trying to build a 'brand' on people's disabilities, they don't actually support or inspire grassroots organizing, and the pricing of their sessions is typically so prohibitively high that it ends up being a service only available to wealthy nerds.

Ugh I've spotted the first overt "neurodiversity coach" on fedi

"the deep state"? you mean the state?

Read my lips:
An audio show that can only be played in an Apple player on an Apple device is not a podcast.
An audio show that can only be played in Spotify is not a podcast.
Repeat ad nauseam for any other proprietary audio show platforms.
A #podcast is an #RSS feed with enclosures of audio files which are playable across the whole ecosystem of podcast players.
Any reporter who reports on exclusive audio shows and calls them “podcasts” are doing a grave disservice to their audience.

I love how this idea of the "deep state" is based on the assumption that someone was hiding something
I picture someone opening their computer for the first time, finding the notherboard and processor unit and the hard drive and graphics card and all that stuff, and making a big deal out of it, calling it the "deep computer"

Lieve mensen, ik ben er weer. Om 7 uur van mijn bed gelicht door op deur bonzende smerissen die eruit zagen alsof ze een maffiabaas kwamen arresteren. Om een uur 5 vrij, met gebiedsverbod van 3 mnd. voor deel DH rond A12 en foon in beslaggenomen om te proberen erin te komen.

Ben je een boer met een trekker, heb je geen respect voor de leefbaarheid van deze planeet en wel snelwegblokkadeplannen, dan word je onder politiebegeleiding naar de plaats des onheils gebracht. Ben je een klimaatactivist met alleen je eigen lijf om in te zetten ten behoeve van de leefbaarheid van deze planeet en heb je snelwegblokkadeplannen, dan word je door de politie van je bed gelicht en krijg je preventief een gebiedsverbod.

reminder that individualism is a lie. it always has been and it's repurposed to dismantle community building.
no person ever birthed themselves. they did not feed themselves. they did not create their own language. even the idea of individualism is an idea adopted from their peers. they do not build their own houses, grow their own food, build their own vehicles, or drive on roads they built. the idea of the rugged individual is a *fucking lie* and you should call anyone who promotes it a liar.

Over vier dagen is het zover: dan blokkeren wij met meer dan duizend mensen de A12. Wij eisen een direct einde aan de jaarlijks 17,5 miljard euro fossiele subsidies!
De afgelopen dagen krijgen we veel aanmeldingen, helaas zijn de laatste actietrainingen al voorbij. Actievoeren is niet niks. Daarom sturen we onze rebellen voorbereid op pad. Daarom deze oproep: heb je géén actietraining kunnen volgen en is dit je eerste burgelijk ongehoorzame actie? Sluit je aan bij de supporters demonstratie.

Really am at the point where I want certain people (particularly from some certain sets of demographics, it seems) to stop enforcing their desire that Everything Be Very Serious.
If your anarchism says I can't dream and talk about a potential future while I'm getting shit done because it "scares people off," I don't want anything to do with it.

Here's what I think of when I see (white) liberals/leftists pushing the notion that addressing economics & class issues will drive out prejudice and fascism:
2 of my 3 siblings left our family's working class origins behind when they got solid middle class jobs that employed them until retirement. They lead comfortable lives for much of their adulthood.
And yet, they never stopped being racist assholes. They never let go of their sexism. They never stopped seeing queer people as defective.

github, angry
The absolute fucking gall of #Github to claim in their celebratory blogpost that actually, *they* are responsible for "developers no longer just being people building software for tech companies", and that they are "always putting developers first" in the same line as where they bring up Copilot.
Fuck you, Github. Sincerely, go fuck yourself. We were here before you, and this isn't your fucking achievement to claim. You *co-opted* the FOSS community, you didn't fucking create it.
