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.

OPINION: "Heavy" websites which pile on the megabytes with pages bloated far beyond their useful contents are hit hard when shared on Mastodon. A moment for reflection? No. https://news.itsfoss.com/mastodon-link-problem/?hehehehe
Corollary: if you are organizing a hacker event that *does* have safety precautions, please let me know! I'll probably be interested in attending, if it's viable to travel there from here.

top ten weird thing about the computer is that it doesn't really matter how much you know about it you'll still get randomly humbled like every few weeks by, whoops, surprise, i had a filename wrong the whole time, or i wasn't actually building what i thought i thought i was, or whatever
you get better at figuring out which way the computer has humbled you today, but overall i'd rate the experience of trying to make it do what i mean as "excruciating"
Time for the - I guess yearly by this point... - toot again:
No, I will not be at #38c3. I *could* have squeezed it into my schedule despite an upcoming transplantation, but they have *once again* failed to implement any COVID safety measures.
A few days of Congress is not worth the risk of brain damage or (in my case) severe illness or death.
If you want to see me at your event, push for appropriate safety precautions like sufficient ventilation/filtering and (particularly where that is not possible) mask distribution and ideally masking requirements.

The life of a Trans person who has lived in the closet is a life of violence. I need to make space for this today for myself.
I don’t want to talk about the physical and sexual violence some of us experience, but the emotional violence we all do, and then, a specific manifestation of this violence.

honestly i want a crime drama/police show that actually does the inverse of copaganda and has the main character realize that they are a pawn in the system which is designed to enact violence on people for financial and political gain and they were lied to their entire life. they try to change it from the inside but then realize that they can't do it and the only way to do so is destroy it.
also could apply to a war movie tbh

4 years ago I convinced the HOA board to leave the leaf litter for the insects to winter in.
Now every summer we have so many fireflies.
New guy just moved in and asked if he should rake up the common areas.
A literal child stood up to say that he shouldn't because they will not have summer fireflies if he does.
So proud of the little one starting to advocate for the world they want to live in.
6 years told and already learning how to get things done.
The leaves will stay.

@joepie91 idk but whoever told me about Open Scanner deserves many thanks. F Adobe, but I need to be able to scan documents with my phone since the HP scanner and printer I own refuses to connect to T-Mobile Internet, therefore I can’t even use it connected to my laptop with a cord.

what do I think of Germany denazifying after world war 2? I think It's been like 80 years and they should probably hurry up and get on with it

"Behind every error blamed on computers there are at least two human errors, including the error of blaming it on the computer."
Apparently matrix.org runs Synapse Proprietary now.
Did someone make a list of "AI-free alternatives to software" yet?

As some additional context: the other person in this screenshot is not a beginner. They are a professional web developer who has been around in this community for years, and who builds production systems.

Just released a page about Air to Ground Signals, which is about how to communicate with aircraft in the sky when on land, or the water, in the event of an accident.
If you've ever wondered why so many websites are a fragile JS hellscape, here's what a typical conversation in a web development channel might look like, and I think that tells you all you need to know
