radicals win when we're the people our communities come to for help

our politics must be the politics of love and care and hard work for our communities not only because that's what we believe but because that's how we win

i'll say this again so i can pin it:

if your software doesn't require a manual, it isn't software, and could be a regular document

if your software does real computational work that justifies its existence, it requires a manual

document. your. software.

I am a #foss / #free #software radical.

This is because I understand some things that many people do not, or do not want to. This isn’t because those people are stupid or purpousely ignorant; rather, my circumstances forced me to part with some of the comforts of predatory software, and it opened my eyes to the world that universal software freedom could create.

nix-direnv is good

i honestly wish i were more nonbinary bc the nonbinary community is way more accepting and open than then binary trans community

i love my binary trans friends but the culture is awful

you need to respect people all the time and not ask for woke points just because i'm finally doing something you think is mildly socially acceptable

i called myself nonbinary for like 3 years, and don't think i don't see all these gen x'ers out here telling me they're "working hard to get my pronouns right" now

love to go from being a nonbinary couple, to being in lesbians, to being transhets over the course of two years, without ever changing partners

followup being that transhets should be fast tracked through the adoption process because honestly, who's thought more about how society relates to identity

straight cis people should have to submit documentation that they've thought deeply about their gender before they can have children, please vote nora 2k20

i don't think I've been this excited for a tech release since the f(x)tec pro¹

and at least Google isn't going to burn me in this department lol

"rule 34 of the internet, if it exists there is porn of it"

nah, people were already horny for the creature from the black lagoon, you just didn't know about them

"it's the internet, someone has done everything you can think of"

someone already had, you just hadn't heard of it

most of the things people say about the internet are just things that are true about the world
