so I just signed some Linux Foundation documents for the purpose of getting a simple pull req on Kubernetes accepted

it demanded my title

so via my paternal maternal great grandfather's answer to this question, the Linux Foundation now officially knows of me as (representing myself) Chief Cook and Bottle Washer

Finished fixing up the ol' Libgen Scan app for now. Point your camera at the barcode on a book, and it opens a Libgen search (whatever mirror you want) on its ISBN. https://github.com/nfd9001/Libgen-Scan

I haven't POSTED in a few days because I have been TIRED AND/OR BUSY with other THINGS

I've been MAINTAINING my old OPEN-SOURCE PROJECT 🏂 😎 🏂 😎

wonder if I would have more followers if my posts didn't all fit these three categories: "fellow kids, have you heard about these devices called computers," "description of some annoying IT thing that happened," "detailed rant about global or local geopolitics that you would only understand if you were mediumly well-read in the exact same places I was"

In places like India, Fine Alright I Kinda Get It, You're Only Just Having Your Baby Boom. Japan has no excuse

I'm that intersection between "hmm I like the idea of food not bombs" and "we absolutely need widespread nuclear power decades ago because burning all this coal is killing us"

I wonder if all the world's card-carrying, Evola-reading fascists think they're the only ones smart enough to have come up with the concept of an intentional society

Someone emailed me yesterday owo

not wanting to be put on the spot to publically promulgate some specific policy on pronouns that represents a True Facet Of Yourself, for whatever reason, is a thing. And "it's okay my friend changes pronouns like twice a week" isn't exactly a solution to that problem.

Pressuring those people to participate (they could just be trying to quietly avoid doing so!) pushes on how a set of norms about gender *should* be universal, which feels like it's getting really lost in the weeds somewhere. We've got this big social post-structuralist push to ignore the hegemonic gender binary, and we're pushing a new people-essentially-want-to-talk-about-their-identity hegemony instead of just letting people Do What The Fuck They Want?

for instance: a friend of mine has been taking a bunch of online classes wherein one or more of "set your profile picture" and "tell us your preferred pronouns" are *graded* assignments. He'd just as soon take advantage of the online setting and not be conspicuously trans somewhere for once

ordering people to take part in pronoun checks sucks. Participating is all fine and good, but putting the pressure on because any discomfort with The Process implies that you're a Disrespectful Transphobe or whatever is semi-common and can hurt people

Been one of those evenings whomst I listen to both lamazep and hella
