I have a standing quarterly donation to #kde, because it is my desktop environment of choice and it absolutely rocks. Use it daily and it doesn't get in the way. I've donated some things here and there to individual developers because their things made my life so much easier.
Please, donate to the free and opensource software you use. If you switch away from a paid thing, consider donating some of the money you saved.

fedi people (including myself) like to meme with Sun Microsystems but the founders are still typical Big Tech people

Like, I'm evaluating P2P things again and GUN is basically instantly off the list of candidates because I cannot navigate their fucking website without being overwhelmed!

Guess Google and Cloudflare enjoy being in bed with fascists now...
just discovered something really obvious about software you've been using for ages and feel bad about it? don't! it happens to the best - and it doesn't unduly hold them up either...
So, while I felt comraderie during my march as I moved with various organizations to stand up in the face of state oppression, the world at large still have some work to do.
Capitalism has put us in a place to keep focusing on the individual as opposed to the collective.
People keep focusing on who's protesting "the right way".
I'm not saying we should have bounce houses for kids.
But criticizing people for taking a step, for some their first step, is weird.

fragment of history, google
"Wave is designed to operate as a decentralized communication network. Individuals and organizations will run their own Wave-compatible servers which will all interoperate through a federated messaging protocol. Although Google has developed the underlying technology, the company intends to open it up entirely to the community and make it a vendor-neutral standard. There will be multiple competing implementations, much like there are today for e-mail services, and it will be possible to use and operate independent Wave services without having to rely on Google."
New blog post! I've started taking regular snapshots of Library of Congress linked open data (as part of a much broader data rescue and monitoring project) and took the opportunity to finally get to grips with #SPARQL, #RDF and all that comes along with it. I've started small though...

- No alt text (request) = no boost.
- Boosts OK for all boostable posts.
- DMs are open.
- Flirting welcome, but be explicit if you want something out of it!
- The devil doesn't need an advocate; no combative arguing in my mentions.
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
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.
