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.

Anyway tonight I'm basically doing data entry, putting all the information on these seed packets into one big spreadsheet so that I can plan out my garden this year

transphobia, uspol, blocking trans people from voting
The SAVE Act will require "proving citizenship" to vote, and looks like it could tie in with the same "having changed your name and gender marker is identity fraud" stuff, possibly blocking many trans people from participating in US democracy https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-save-act-could-keep-millions-of-transgender-americans-from-voting/

I was recently introduced to the concept of “hypernormalization” coined to describe the Soviet Union.
Hypernormalization is when the economic and social system is obviously broken, but instead of fixing it, people just accept it as normal because the truth is too complex or inconvenient to change.
So politicians and citizens alike are resigned to maintaining the pretense of a functioning society.
Man, the translations on these seed packages are garbage, also there's typos everywhere that have been on there for the past several years at least

Hello there. I'm a visual artist, printmaker and author from The Netherlands (Ulft, Rotterdam, Hilversum).
I'm interested in how parts make wholes, late Romanesque / Early Gothic manuscript illumination, and long-form black metal. Maybe you have seen my bird prints?

These tall tales we see of complex apps being generated entirely LLMs, or legacy codebases being ported to new platforms in just a few hours... If they're not accompanied by actual code we can look at, or working software we can test, you can safely conclude it didn't happen.
So far, it never has. Not a single verifiable example.

this is your monthly reminder that if you have built a nice community on mastodon and enjoy being here, you should really setup a monthly sub to help pay your instance admin for their work.
If you're able too, having a majority of users pay a few bucks a month makes it far less likely your admin is gonna get burnt out or your instance is going to randomly shut down one day.
this is real labor right

medication
@joepie91 No, you're supposed to peel that sticker off and put it on yourself
medication
One of my medications says "handle with care" on the box and I don't think I've ever had *fragile* medication before...
Neither seems to have *any* interface settings at all..
Err, correction, in Gnumeric, the cursor is white on a white background.
I have to wonder if anyone ever tested any of this at all
Wow. Neither Gnumeric nor Calligra Sheets pass my 10-minute test with a dark system theme. In Gnumeric, the cursor is black (on a black background). In Calligra Sheets, the default text is black (on a black background) once out of editing mode.

I like that there's a number of orgs that advertise via stickers. If they didn't, I'd probably never find out about them, because I'm so terribly isolated.

Best bijzonder, de Ramadan en Carnaval starten op dezelfde dag..
Welp, apparently some mice discovered my gardening seed collection and decided that it constituted "nest with food reserves"
