This: #antiracist vs "not racist".
If you want to start on that education, I really recommend reading "So You Want To Talk About Race" by Ijeoma Oluo.
I've previously recommended "White Fragility" by Robin DiAngelo, which was good as an initial bridge - a white person talking to white people why they should care to be antiracist. But she's since turned that into a whole white savior consultant business, which is gross.
Ijeoma Oluo though? Her words as another woman of color _gave me breathing space_. She wrote all the things that I'm too exhausted to bring up with my white friends anymore. She wrote that, so the rest of us BIPOC don't have to anymore - it's a book of empowerment like that, in a big way.
And this is why I implore everyone to read that book, even if you need "White Fragility" as a stepping stone first.
Grandma used the word “whatsome” a lot. I've never heard anyone else say it. I often wonder where it came from.
Curiously, the Oxford Dictionary defines it as an obsolete #MiddleEnglish word meaning “whatever” that hasn't been used in over 500 years.
“Whatsome” was Grandma's “whatchamacallit”. She could also say “and whatsome” in the sense of “and so on”.
Incidentally, Oxford recognises “whatsomever” as a surviving #dialect word.
#Bitwarden is no longer free software.
The new code introduces a dependency on @bitwarden/sdk-internal
, whose license explicitly states that it can’t be used by any software other than Bitwarden.
That violates the freedom 0 of free software (I can do whatever I want with the source code as long as my output is also free and open).
This seems to be part of a long strategy from Bitwarden to gradually pull the rug under their “free and open” principles and turn the product into a closed product after gaining sufficient market share.
And it’s a reminder that open projects maintained by companies should never, ever, ever be trusted.
In my case I already moved to Vaultwarden a while ago. I had a hunch that Bitwarden was going in this direction, plus running 15 .NET containers on my box just to run a password manager seemed pure insanity to me.
I advise everyone to move away from Bitwarden too before it’s too late.

Watching Bluesky become a massive stream of pics without alt text as people basically beg people to add it... "We really value alt text here!"
Yeah, when millions of people suddenly flood a space, who "we" is changes right fucking quick, doesn't it?
Remember when folks over there made fun of Mastodon for people asking for content warnings and alt text?
Now they're begging people to mark NSFW picture and art while alt text is basically being ignored by almost all new users.
Idk y'all, sometimes folks on Fedi may be wound a little tight, but we sure did make sure the community we had here was tight and gave a fuck.

I'm reasonably selective about what podcasts or radio to listen to, what fora to engage in, what to read online, etc., although there are probably some that I could remove without loss of substantial value.
I prioritize creation over consumption in general.

So, I, a half-Canadian/half-German/half-Chinese/all-bad-at-math woman go out to dinner with my Chinese personal trainer after working out and we wind up eating Lebanese food made by Syrians in the middle of China in a pop-up restaurant that has a Palestinian flag and a sticker on the door in support of Palestine.

I love living in Wuhan!

Some random thoughts, but I sometimes feel there are two different and mutually exclusive strands of techno-optimism about computers. I'm referring here to people who want to use computers to liberate, not to the claim that this has already been achieved.
On one hand, what we could call the Smalltalk strand. Don't get hang up on the name: it might as well be Lisp or Unix or free software or Emacs strand. This is the most radical position, and holds that computers are 1) sui generis (their own thing), 2) and the full potential of computing is the common heritage of humanity. So this is the view of infinite customisability, of trusting that users can, should and will write their own software and tweaks.
The other version is the Apple strand: again don't get hang up on the name. This is an optimistic but less radical position that computers are universally able to substitute every other machine, but that they should behave like the machines they substitute for the sake of simplicity and ease of use. So while the Smalltalk strand looks at computers as their own special thing that brings new affordances, the Apple strand focuses on making computers useful for specific tasks, with an appropriate UI.
I think both are legitimate views. My sympathies are more with the Smalltalk strand, and I find it frustrating when it is seen as elitist or exclusionary, because our precise point is everyone can program, and that software should be optimised for modifiability. On the other hand, the Apple strand gets accused of dumbing down, which I also think is not warranted.
What I?m trying to get at is we can work on both visions, though inevitably there are points of divergence. Computers should be general purpose, flexible and customisable. People should be able to modify their own systems to suit their needs. But also, computers should be manageable and easily understood, and it should be possible for people to use them.
I agree that pretty much everyone could learn it if they put in enough work, but a lot of people would rather do something else with their time and have computers "just work".
Speaking as a programmer, that's why I've stuck with Windows so far instead of getting into Linux more than necessary...

Yo no necesito que el fediverso sea enorme. No me importa si llega a ese punto, entiendo que es el objetivo y será mejor que un Bluesky o lo que hay ahora mismo, pero yo no lo necesito ni tengo prisa porque ocurra.
Yo uso la tecnología que me parece más sana a nivel ético y estoy con un grupo de personas que me gusta mucho. Ya está, no necesito más.
Iba a poner un mensaje del palo "no gastéis vuestras energías en analizar redes centralizadas" pero entiendo que es un tema interesante y podemos hacer muchas cosas a la vez. Pero yo en lo particular no lo haré. Quien quiera interactuar conmigo en redes sociales ya sabe dónde estoy, lo digo siempre que tengo opción aunque predique en el desierto.
I was already getting read timeouts (with a five-seconed timeout) when using FediFetcher on a local Procrastodon user account.
@quanin I think you were running on 8 GB. How's that working out for you? Did you do anything to optimise that?

#Conversations_im 2.17.0 has support for emoji reactions 🎉
Since @Codeberg appears to be under constant DDoS attacks they have added pretty strict rate limits that the @fdroidorg build server keeps running into. 😞
Another build cycle just failed and it's unclear when 2.17.0 will be available on F-Droid.
Maybe Codeberg and F-Droid can back channel an allow list or something? 🙏

@blindcoder Message Reactions need support for "Occupant IDs" on the server that hosts the MUC.
From ejabberd 23.10 this is available with a module called mod_muc_occupantid

There is also something for @prosodyim but I can’t tell you what version or module you need.
