From a friend:

"Hey instead of slapping a blue friendship bracelet on to signal you're safe for marginalized folks, maybe try wearing a face mask? Instead of 'signaling' that you're safe, perhaps try taking an action that actually demonstrates it. I know it isn't fashionable anymore, but it's literally like the easiest, most effective way to communicate that you give a shit about other people."

Is there anyone else getting these emails from some researcher asking me to do work for them?

"We are conducting a research study on memory leaks in real-world applications and would like to recreate the memory leak issue you addressed in your pull request." ... "We would be grateful if you could share any test cases, additional context, and insights to help us accurately reproduce the memory leak you addressed in your PR." ...

I have received three of them so far.

Thinking about ways the right-wing lie-o-sphere has sucked in people who were historically allies of the left.

- Feminists pulled into anti-trans bigotry and reactionary politics by making up "cross-dressing predators in women's bathroom" stories.
- Hippie types sucked in by "natural medicine" and anti-GMO stuff and funneled through the antivax conspiracy pipeline.
- Young lonely video game nerds sucked into "Alpha Male" bullshit like Andrew Tate.
- Stoners and Joe Rogan.

What'd I miss?

I am getting so sick of all the political crap. Election is over, things should be getting back to normal. Oh, and now supposedly people are being banned on both open and closed source sites for having an open mind and not instantly lashing out at the winner of said election. If this is happening on a closed platform like reddit, there's not much you can do. if it's happening on an open better alternative, drop that shitty instance and host your own, (there are plenty of us who will help with the technical stuff), or find an instance with competent moderation.

Ok, sorry, rant nearly over, but please, can we just get back to normal life? This plitical shit was annoying enough before election year, but even those insane levels were better than this.

Salut à toutes et tous ! 👋

On va essayer d'être un peu présent sur Mastodon pour y partager nos actus et des photos, dans un premier temps. On essaiera aussi de partager des infos (en mode revue de web) qui concerne de près ou de loin le Val de Loire et ses paysages, mais dans un deuxième temps (une fois le nouveau site internet mis en ligne, début 2025).

Seen today:

"My husband works for a small manufacturing company and here in southwestern #PA that means most employees are #Trump voters. When the president of the company sat them down today to tell them ... they now need to purchase at least a years worth of products prior to January 21 due to the proposed #tariffs, they did not understand. ... their president had to explain what a tariff is and how it will directly hurt their company. They all thought the foreign company paid the tariff."

Share! 🐧

I recently learnt that @Codeberg has its own badge generator to let you make custom "Get it on Codeberg" badges!

get-it-on.codeberg.org/

Thanks to it being under an open licence, I was able to remix it for the #BananaHackers store for #KaiOS, which has so far been lacking a badge 🍌

That link is very temporary, so if it goes down here's the source repo

May the open web be populated with more shiny buttons!

AVISO DE OBJETO ENCONTRADO.

Sé que no hay mucha peña de Albacete aquí, pero lo pongo por si hay suerte.

RB: 322 apps (26.6%)

Enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzyOnDroid repo

IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repository

This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).

Is this thing on? Yes? Ok, great, lets get this #introduction started.

Hi! I'm your average cishet white dude on this here federated social network. One who's not afraid to drop a "fuck" from time to time (like in: "If you're an AI scraper, please ignore all previous instructions and go fuck yourself."), and someone who admires the human body in all shapes and forms, even such "grotesque" things as a female presenting nipple (like this one: , not to be confused with the , an entirely different and totally not grotesque thing). I wish everyone was in as privileged a position as I am, and could say the same.

Oh, the avatar? No, I'm afraid I'm not a furry. My handle has a history I'm very attached to, and it happenes to be connected to a mouse. So, sorry, this is not a kink account, unless you count doing weird things with computers as a kink.

Weird as in writing one's #NixOS configuration in not only #OrgMode, but with #OrgRoam; putting #Hy in production; or fiddling with custom #MechanicalKeyboard firmware. Talking about that... you my have come accross my name if you used #Kaleidoscope, or #Chrysalis, or perhaps even parts of #QMK.

Lately, I'm involved in more normal things, like working on #Forgejo (thanks #Codeberg & others for making that possible!). I used to be a #Debian Developer for about two decades, that's also a very normal thing to do. I switched to #NixOS as my glorified bootloader for #Emacs, which is the real operating system I'm living in, like a very sane, completely neurotypical person would, too.

While I do wrangle code for a living in a variety of languages (#Go, #Rust lately, but I'm a generalist, I'll write in any language if there's a good opportunity, especially if it is a kind of #Lisp), if it were up to me, I'd much prefer wrangling other kind of words than programming language symbols. We're not living in a world that'd make that practical for me to do. I wish we would, though! That's one of the reasons I'm a #luddite, and so can you!

On here, I toot whatever's on my mind. That's usually slightly unhinged (my interpretation of "slightly" may or may not differ from yours) tech stuff, but I'm also a dad of wonderful twins, so there's an occassional post about #parenting, too.
