feels like there should be some kind of clever human-organizational process ritual/hack that can organically and without explicit paid management hierarchy tap the skills of tens-of-thousands-strong masses of laid-off computer-touchers, to build various not-necessarily-profitable software artifacts capable of utterly obliterating their former shitty employers
and like a math proof or a geometric tiling it's just a matter of discovering it

I know I seen this posted before, but I'm glad there is an unspoken contract on mutual aid, where people see each others' deadnames and simply Do Not.

Hashicorp really is trying to wreck all their goodwill, aren't they?

Gotta express my appreciation for the pixie.town mods here - 300+ boosts on my KF post (that I can see) over the span of a full day, and yet I only got one shitty comment from an obscure single-user instance, and only a couple of "missing the point" responses.
Those numbers would likely have been *much* higher if moderation of shitty instances wasn't so strict here (as was the case on eg. Twitter).

leftist antisemitism, anarchists
I hate the dread I feel when I see an anarchist profile pic or emoji in the replies to a post about leftist antisemitism.
Someday, that dread will prove unfounded and I will be pleasantly surprised by the reply.
Today was not that day.

Writing research: first aid for drowning
I seem to remember being told that a person who's been drowning should be placed on their side, knees drawn up, so that they can cough out the water. But none of the online resources mention that. Is that advice wrong?
I'm writing a scene where a character has been briefly submerged in water and breathed some water in. They are lying on their back, starting to regain consciousness, and they're starting to cough up water. What should the other characters do to help them?
There are no other injuries.

Apropos of nothing, it continues to be immensely frustrating how some people just don't want to believe that there are people who deliberately and knowingly cause harm to others, and how that refusal to acknowledge it actively contributes to that harm being caused
As a counterweight for the frustrated grumping, though: I'm happy to see that several other commenters are actually making an effort to understand the problem, when it wasn't previously known to them.
Congratulations to the tildes poster reading through my posts, who completely missed the point of this post, and seemingly interpreted it as evidence that I must be irresponsible and that another commenter was right about that.
Like, you realize that this was a frustrated subtoot *of* that other commenter, right? Have you considered actually doing the introspection I've proposed in the toot? It was not rhetorical.
