Oh my god you guys if you want to find ways to fund open source YOU HAVE TO FIND WAYS TO FUND OPEN SOURCE

Nobody wants to hear that this makes these systems fundamentally unsecureable, but they are.

Open source maintainers are starting to get all manner of communiques from the compliance & legal departments of huge corporations using vaguely threatening and legal-sounding language and demanding the maintainer fill out forms and reports and attest to the security of their project "because CRA".

hold on to your butts, I'm skeeting about open source for once.

there is a pattern of weaponisation of the language of psychology and activism (particularly historical disability rights activism) that basically exists entirely in ~~the comments~~ and I just want to talk to all of these people and tell them you can just *not respond*.

I got a message from my spouse, and with no interaction on my part my phone recommended a complete sentence in response. Why is it so much to ask that my technology stop trying to steal my voice?

I am inches away from an amazing joke about that polycule from NPR but I’m just not funny enough to write it.

I remember tables and image maps and macromedia shockwave—content may be worse and design may be bland but websites are better now. In contrast, just 10 years of CSS later @zeldman.bsky.social cranked his body text to 24px and everyone lost their goddam minds 😆 web.archive.org/web/20120430...

There’s no such thing as being apolitical. “Not taking a side” implies that all opinions, actions, & policies are equal. The Israeli government and its military are committing genocide, out loud, and publicly celebrating the result. There is no acceptable “other side” to genocide. Free Palestine.

Wait is there actually serious conversation going on about “clanker” being a *slur*? I 100% thought this was satire. Computers don’t have feelings, sentience, or rights to be oppressed. That’s the whole point. (See also if you tell the computer to do something, take responsibility for your actions)

If you've ever wondered how important it is to me that my entire personality not be about my career, I (apparently‽) subscribe to 258 podcasts, all meticulously filed in ten folders. I just subscribed to a podcast that has forced me to create an eleventh folder, "Tech".

Okay but this does not address the foot/hand issue. Wrists and ankles are weak and as the fish snack, they sometimes kinda… pop off and float to shore. I wonder just how far you’d need to go to feel confident that was mitigated. Would you actually need a blue water vessel?

Sometimes spending five minutes repeatedly drafting and deleting a post as I work through my feelings on a topic is more effective than hours of therapy.

I'm evolving on my position that computers were a mistake. I think the mistake is when we allowed them to communicate with each other at a distance. Adama would never.

My team at @bsky.neighbourhood.ie and I are looking for any and all projects we might be able to help with, the sooner the better. We are really good at turning manual processes into digital ones, especially, but not limited to, if parts of the process need to work while a device is offline.
