- they/them, he/him, whatever, it's not like I have any idea either 🙃
Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
Feel free to flirt, but if you want to actually meet up and/or do something with me, lewd or otherwise, please tell me explicitly or I won't realize :) I'm generally very open to that sort of thing!
Further boundaries: boosts are OK (including for lewd posts), DMs are open. But the devil doesn't need an advocate; I'm not interested in combative arguing in my mentions. I am however happy to explain things in-depth when asked non-combatively.
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.

"If you’d like to find out more about resisting the UK’s racist & hostile immigration system, power mapping, 1-2-1s and other community organising tools, this workbook is for you.
The workbook is a living, breathing and changing publication, which we will update and translate. It’s available in an easy-to-print black/white version and a riso printed publication"
Excellent resource from Solidarity Knows No Borders.

#Social.coop has been discussing whether to disable images on May 16 and October 10 for #WorldSightDay, as suggested here https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/112275637561897034.
One concern raised about this proposal is that it is symbolic and might not do anything to improve the lives of people with visual impairments.
I would like to hear perspectives from people with visual impairments on whether this kind of action is helpful.

In the family we say to someone complaining that they don't want to go out in the rain: "You're not made of sugar". Is this a common thing elsewhere too?

@NanoRaptor as an European I always thought that "quiet quitting" meant "do the bare minimum for not getting fired". I was surprised when I realized that American colleagues defined it as "do your job but without enthusiasm", this is what I just called "working"
If there ever was a case study in "having a legal structure does not automatically safeguard your project governance", well, the #NixOS situation is probably it.
It's also quite bizarre to see people *already* rewriting history to claim that the project is failing because "it's anarchic and there is no leadership" when the hierarchical side of the project *literally is the root cause of the problem*.

A piece of advice regarding #NixOS: You know how it's really difficult to find something similar to replace it with?
That also means that if worst comes to worst, a fork is very likely to happen - because there are going to be many other people *also* looking to replace it.
I would recommend not panicking yet, and instead keeping an eye out for further developments. Even if NixOS dies, that doesn't mean the community does.

Apophenia and model overfitting together form one hell of a drug.
At one point in my life, I encountered a sequence of unrelated people who were (a) all assholes, and (b) were all named Carl. It was very tempting to form a new understanding of the world around the supposed fact that "Carl => asshole."
Obviously, this isn't actually a fact, but damn if it's hard not to convince a pattern-obsessed bag of salty soggy carbon that it's anything else.
And I mean "that they know nothing about" very literally - making statements and inferences that are obviously factually incorrect in the first sentence to anyone who has actually been involved in the events.
I am growing increasingly impatient with random people who have never been involved in governance discussions before, suddenly feeling like it's their duty to start relitigating circumstances that they know nothing about. #NixOS

"I heard someone at the market say there are monsters walking along us."
"Monsters?"
"Masked, trying to appear as normal as you or I!"
I keep my expression neutral. "Yes, there are people wearing masks, but they're not the monsters."
"Then who are?"
"Those who make masks needed."

Estrogen, help wanted
The twice per week schedule of patches just isn't working for me, does anyone know of a type that is taken daily and does not have the long term risks of pills?

the upside of having ADHD is that I can complete a month's worth of work for a whole team in the space of a weekend and a couple of evenings.
the downside of having ADHD is that I keep putting myself in situations where I need to complete a month's worth of work for a whole team in the space of a weekend and a couple of evenings.
