salt about foss culture 

@malin haha zero antagonism, that's a lovely fantasy

FOSS is political, but also kinda weird.

Most political viewpoints have nay-sayers, but you don't get people who say 'code should be hidden'. Nobody loves Windows - they put up with it. Nobody says it's great that all governments have their computers controlled by a single, foreign corporation.

If only there were standard vocabulary for private instance administration & moderation notices so I could filter them out of my home TL. Unless it's about this specific instance, I don't care.

Listening to the episode about and hopefully I'll remember some of the stuff I learned, such as:

β€’ was *not* the first person to receive an education (by about a decade)
β€’ US blind education was so dedicated to universal design that the blind students used Braille as a way to pass notes and write love letters that their teachers couldn't decipher.

I need to stop jokingly calling myself a gamer because it's going to come true

This is an entertaining look at Pride and other parades in the US, and has a *fantastic* 3-way pun in the title, if nothing else: slatestarcodex.com/2019/07/08/

There's something in here to make *everyone* uncomfortable, I suspect.
