Ten years ago #curl visited the Nasdaq tower in New York

what surprises me is the number of fast typers. Over half of the responses do 100 WPM or more. I just did a test and only did 87 WPM, and I don't know so many people who type noticeably faster than me.
(This keyboard is not great, but I think I've never tested over 100 WPM, 90+ is my max.)
The next #XMPP Developer Sprint is coming up.
📍 Wikimedia Offices, Berlin, Germany
📆 Friday, May 23rd - Sunday, May 25th 2025
❓ Sprints (aka Hackathons) are a great opportunity for interoperability testing, planning new features, meeting other XMPP developers and generally having a good time.

How the CNA thing is working out for #curl

Do you remember how curl became a CNA early last year? I was reminded that I had not really gotten back to this topic and explained to you, my dear readers, how it is and how it has worked out. This curl-being-a-CNA thing I mean.daniel.haxx.se

Pro-natalists aren’t actually interested in making motherhood easier by offering things like affordable childcare. So what is their aim?Moira Donegan (The Guardian)
“the pro-natalist movement...is not really interested in making parenting easier or less burdensome for women. It is not interested in making children more affordable, or making them healthier.”
“It is not interested in making pregnancy safer, or in making childrearing less damaging to women’s careers.
“It is not interested in these because all of these pursuits are in fact antithetical to the movement’s real agenda”

Pro-natalists aren’t actually interested in making motherhood easier by offering things like affordable childcare. So what is their aim?Moira Donegan (The Guardian)
Pro-natalists' agenda “is to encourage primarily white births, to enforce regressive, highly hierarchal and stratified social roles, to push women out of the public sphere and to narrow women’s prospects for social, professional and intellectual life to little more than pregnancy, childbirth, childrearing and housekeeping”
“Despite the extreme anti-woman bigotry and regressive gender politics...American liberals have been hesitant to combat the right’s embrace” of it.

Pro-natalists aren’t actually interested in making motherhood easier by offering things like affordable childcare. So what is their aim?Moira Donegan (The Guardian)
“women should be able, free and encouraged to live lives that do not conform to regressive notions of women’s proper roles as wives and mothers, that they should be free to invent themselves on their own terms – including as permanently childless adults. This is not, as the pro-natalists would have it, an abandonment of their biological duty – and it is not, as their liberal sympathizers would say, an example of cultural decadence.”
