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.

Range of progress for my avocado trees!
The first one started in a batch of three, but two of the seeds were not very good and started molding (so I tossed them). - Started doing this 23 October.
The successful seed got relocated to a bigger container of water, so it got to this point by 9 January.

A linguistics professor was lecturing on the role of the double negative, noting that in some languages like Russian a double negative remains negative, while in other languages like French a double negative becomes positive. However, the professor observed, in no language in the world does a double positive become negative. From the back of the classroom a student replied, "Yeah. Right."

Angel: You want them to rest every night?
God: 8 hours. Completely unconscious and immobile.
Angel: And then they wake up completely refreshed?
God: No.

Love how a bag of crackers (not even one with foil!) can apparently completely ruin the wireless reception of my trackball
re: frustrated, tech, child abuse
like seriously, anyone who is not even familiar with the idea of "most abuse comes from close circles, not from strangers" is absolutely *not* qualified to be building anything relating to child safety
frustrated, tech, child abuse
developers stop adding "parental control" features into your apps that just enable abuse challenge 2023 (impossible)

I’ve come to realize that the traditional classroom isn’t so much about learning as it is creating the illusion of learning from standardization, and favors those who can disproportionately exploit that. It doesn’t allow for individual comprehension rates (can that even be measured?) or relevant tangents. It’s one size fits all vs. diversity and that doesn’t work.

so I've started seeing Mastodon apps fetch posts in threads from other servers directly, bypassing server blocks.
This is ... this is deeply concerning to me.

The lead attorney for GitHub arguing that #Copilot using #OpenSource is fair use following precedent from #Oracle Vs #Google is Annette Hurst, who represented Oracle and personally argued against the verdict in public on Twitter.
