I am proud to announce Bigfoot vs The Illuminati (2020) asses the bechdel test!

Attention to my faculty friends: The University of Washington Allen School of CSE is an unsafe environment for women, so as grad application season starts, please tell your students not to apply. There are at least 3 men in the systems lab that have sexually harassed numerous women and they continue to do so. More details below:

It has been 3 months since the women of the UW systems lab sent a letter detailing three incidents of sexual harassment and bullying. The university has bounced them from the Title IX office to HR with no resolution. There is an ongoing HR investigation with the women handing over dozens of incidents and pages of documentation (emails, text messages). At least one of the men has been documented to be physically violent, and he has sexually harassed women across the department, not just in the lab.

Despite this, the women of the lab have been forced to leave their coworking space, leaving them in a precarious position where they must risk interacting with violent men. The systems lab is still holding lab events with the men actively under investigation. The Allen School has become a place where women are AFRAID to go to work and at least three women have been driven out due to harassment. If you know women who are thinking of attending grad school, tell them to avoid UW, especially in systems. I’m happy to put them in touch with the women of the UW systems lab or discuss alternate options with them.

Computer fuckery 

Huh. Set a profile picture in the Nextcloud account I've been using for years, also using it in my phone's Nextcloud app. Apparently this updated a contact in my phone's contacts (a Google contact, I usually create contacts for the Nextcloud account, but the system sometimes creates contacts for accounts) with the picture‽ This led to K9 Mail also setting the picture for my mail account which is mail@mydomain despite the contact's mail address being nextcloud@mydomain (forwarding to the mail@ address). What is going on?

Changing the contact from Google to Nextcloud had it lose the image and K9S as well, but this is somehow scary. Setting a pfp in one app should be contained unless explicitly intended.

Random bright LEDs on charger bricks and cables and random cheap electronics accessories are so irritating. I really value being able to have a dark room when I turn off the lights. Do other people not have issues in a room full of blinkenlights and pulsating LED strips? Is sleeping with lots of annoying lights on around you 24/7 being so normalized that manufacturers don't even realize this is an anti feature?

I have to take the time to tape over, or otherwise obscure the LEDs whenever they are where people sleep (which is most rooms in my tiny place). It is infuriating and makes it look like cheap crap that is half-broken from day-one after getting it.

I am including a poll. Does this bother you too? Do you see a utility in these weird lights? Do you not mind lights being on while you sleep? Falling asleep with a TV or monitor on would be in the same category of not minding these lights in my mind. Reply if you disagree or have more nuance to include.

This sounds like some shit EU people would make up to make fun of how weirdly unsafe american home electrical systems are, but it really did just happen.

I had to go shoplift a new power strip.
Below is a picture of the offender.

This shit was really old, but I have even older ones that have never done something like this.

Fill your reddit shelf with him. It's what he would have wanted!

Oh also it turns out the Khmer Rouge cosplayer from the other day is with the nazis. Who would have guessed?

Got this picture of them together with a Che Guevara flag while Nazbol astolfo was saying lots of offensive stuff.
