Following @ca_dmv_bot has taught me that every colour is a gang colour and every number is a gang number

Love how people will write up and publish a full academic paper about scholarly instances on Fedi and completely re-write the history to erase scholar.social, which has been on here since 2017

Autism Speaks came up again in interactions recently so I just wanted to make people aware again that it's an *incredibly* harmful organisation that caters to neurotypical's feelings rather than help ND people. TW for article: eugenics, abuse, harmful ideas, etc https://medium.com/artfullyautistic/autism-speaks-deception-eugenics-and-abuse-618cf65c094a

If you can’t afford a sidewalk, you can’t afford a road.
Why *aren't* automatic salary raises to match inflation legally required, actually

with Swarm/Foursquare feeling like they might be at risk of shutting down at any point, I keep wondering what an ActivityPub-based equivalent might look like
Foursquare have an incredible venue database, I think in part because they’ve done a great job at gamifying data entry- what if you could do the same against e.g., OpenStreetMap?

@stavvers a german leftist newspaper gave this the great name "Gewinnflation" (basically profit inflation) driven by all companies increasing consumer prices because they want their part of the cake that is our misery
physical health, negative
It would be very nice if my migraine would finally go away
FOSS, regularly scheduled spicy take
Here's your monthly(?) reminder that the Free Software movement is not meaningfully different from the Open-Source movement, that neither of the two are equivalent to "copyleft", that "copyleft" isn't working in practice either, and that the real problem here is capitalism and tolerance of it within FOSS communities, not the licensing model.
Invite a wolf into your community, get eaten. Requiring them to wear sheep's clothes doesn't fix that.

Working at a tech company is wild because you can spend billions to reinvent the wheel and not a single journalist will question it as they fold their own spine into origami to praise you.

This is your semi-regular reminder to ensure that you have backups of your data and work projects because a blue screen of death can hit you at any time. #AcademicMastodon #BackYoShiteUp
mental health, negative, 'allies'
I'm more and more thinking about who would *actually* have my back when shit goes down with transphobia and such, and the answers so far are not pretty

racism, lack of moderation, hatespeech
Holy shit:
According to @Codeberg that's all fine for them:
https://social.anoxinon.de/@Codeberg/109893343816713424
It literally takes racist propaganda that was even removed from archive.org [using archive.vn] and spreading that shit.
I really hope Hasbro DMCA's the repo:

Bonus points for #Codeberg being extra #intransparent and non-concensually delegating the public inquiry into a DM.
F**k you, Codeberg!

I think the most fucked up ideal I was instilled with was that it's not worth doing something unless you excell at it. I didn't realize I felt that way until someone pointed out that my younger sister gave up on extracurricular activity that she didn't have a natural talent for.
Over and over I quit things that were hard and focused on things that came easy to me and my personal conception of what was even possible got smaller and smaller till my world barely left my own comfortable bedroom.
