the #ASL word for "trans" is the same morpheme as "beautiful" but signed over your heart, where you'd sign self 😭

Technologie und Wissen schaffen Verantwortung.
Die #Hackerinnenethik ist seit fast 40 Jahren unverändert, ich finde es wird Zeit für ein kleines Update.

This twitter thread from the Caves Of Qud devs about how they keep the alt-right out of their game community is worth reading.
It's been a while, so maybe it's time for another update:
I've been here in the US for 7.5 months now. I still haven't set up all my furniture, lol. (But most of it!)
Otherwise, I feel like I've adjusted pretty well. I have local friends now! It's not easy to build your local social network from scratch during a pandemic, and not being able to travel "home" doesn't help. But I'm making progress.
@tobbsn We used gather.town as a virtual conference space for the IETF 108 meeting in July. I wandered around the hallways a bit and had a few conversations, but it was hard to find people who weren't afk. Best to just email people to meet at a specific time in a specific corner of the map, which kind of defeats the purpose? We were never enough people that breaking out into separate groups would have been necessary.

"Ask someone trying to cobble together a living as an Uber driver or Instacart worker how well the power of a tech industry completely unchecked by labor power is serving them. Either we organize tech, or it will organize the rest of us to serve it."

I keep reading GPL fans bashing other licenses as if the _license_ is going to solve the problem of capitalism
Yeah.
Ever been poor? Apparently not. Here's what your BS license does for the poor:
ABSOLUTELY JACK SHIT
"Just put this magical set of words on your code and no one will ever steal it ever!"
Nope.
Also: arguing about this is not going to solve anything. The issue is that the system is broken. More lawyers is not the solution, either. It is leveling the field to be equal.
Your license doesn't do _shit._
@Wifi_cable Uff, ja, das klingt nach ner ziemlich anstrengenden Situation, in der du grade bist. Da klingt Fluchen sehr gerechtfertigt. :/
@Wifi_cable Uff, das ist viel. Ich würde vermutlich versuchen, trotzdem irgend einen Anfangspunkt zu finden zum Ausführen und Verstehen.
Aber wie gesagt, kommt auf den Kontext an. Meine Software hat zum Glück Doku und Leute, die ich fragen kann.
Viel Erfolg auf jeden Fall!
