I recently learned about another woman who had left her PhD program because all the men in her lab wouldn't stop hitting on her and harassing her.
This is not the first time I have heard a story like this.
I am not usually prone to fits of uncontrollable rage, but I have been fucking seething.
We need to do better.

Just had a platform survey me about the #AI features I'd like to see them add. My response was loud and clear:
I need to be able to disable AI features completely. My MSAs have rules governing the use of AI. If your platform can't disable it, many companies are not going to be able to use your software and stay legally compliant.
Feature #1 should be the off switch.
Please share this loudly everywhere.

The three questions I will have are:
1. Does the company indemnify against claims that copyrighted material was misused to train the model?
2. Does the product use the data I put in to improve the model? This can run into issues with HIPAA and other regulation.
3. Does the data I enter leave my machine (or in the case of a network service, my network)?
Abstract:
Everyone uses curl, the Swiss army knife of Internet transfers. While this tool has performed transfers and a solid set of command line options for decades, new ones are added over time.
This talk goes through and focuses on some of the most powerful and interesting additions to curl done in recent years. The perhaps lesser known curl tricks that might enrich your command lines, extend your "tool belt" and make you more productive.
This presentation might just help you curl better.

Please boost. This isn’t guessing or smearing. This is an admission in a court of law.
This kind of treatment is exactly why I started @redox from scratch and written primarily in Rust. There is a lot of resistance to even minor beneficial change in Linux and related projects. I don't even try to contribute to the Linux kernel anymore.

Vie niekto prečo idú v ssmere nonstop v štýle predvolebnej kampane? Snáď si nevšimli, že už sú vo vláde a nemusia mať veľkolepé vyhlásenia o tom čo všetko (ne)urobia, pokiaľ budú mať príležitosť?
Napríklad citát z článku: "Tak sa dopracovali k záveru, že ak by sa na Slovensku dostalo k moci Progresívne Slovensko, podobné „zvrátenosti“ by sa diali aj u nás. „Za nás v Smere môžeme garantovať, že v témach ako migrácia, progresívna ideológia či sloboda slova neuhneme ani o milimeter,“ vyhlásil Glück."
Ja viem, že najlepším argumentom proti demokracii je 5 minútový rozhovor s priemerným voličom, ale takto to je všade. Ak týchto ľudí budeš vnímať a nazývať hlupákmi, to im oči neotvorí - iba ich utvrdíš v tom, čo im ich vyvolený hovorí - že ich bakaní liberáli chcú zožrať.
@herrman_sk Ja sa žiadnym Hitlerom neobhajujem, bol to len príklad k tomu, že ak niekto vedome ubližuje druhým ľuďom pre potešenie alebo svoj prospech, tak to pre mňa nie je proste človek. Človek je že vraj najinteligentnejší tvor na našej planéte, tak nech sa tak aj správa. Ak ubližuje druhým napr. kvôli pomste ako to robia voliči vládnej koalície, tak žiaľ, tiež to pre mňa nie sú ľudia. Ja naozaj nemám potrebu tu robiť zo seba lepšieho človeka a tváriť sa, že nie som ako tí druhí, lebo toto nás presne dostalo do aktuálnej situácie. Veci treba pomenovať pravým menom a netreba zo seba robiť chrumkavých a hrať sa na moralistov.
Taktiež nemám za potrebu voličov vládnej koalície o niečom presviedčať, lebo opäť použijem argument s človekom ako najinteligentnejším tvorom na planéte - oni majú mozgy (aj keď často to tak nevyzerá) a taktiež majú možnosť rozmýšľať, takže ak im príde správne voliť fica, nikto im ich názor nezmení. Mňa tiež nemusel nikto presviedčať o tom, že fico je zlý a nemám ho voliť, prišiel som na to vlastným rozumom a úsudkom. Takže ak naozaj nie sú dotyční hlupáci, načo im je dobré otvárať oči? Ak by hlupáci neboli, tak otvorené oči majú dávno a nevolia fica.
Well, that's a first. Today I was part of a mass layoff at fly.io.
I guess the only consolation, if you can in fact call it that, is that most of my team seems to have gotten laid off too, including my manager. So it didn't have anything to do with me.
Still processing everything, but I was planning on leaving Texas next year and this definitely messes with those plans.
I'm not anywhere near dire financial straights, so there's that, but as someone with a severe disability I'm used to exploitative employment situations, and Fly wasn't that, so I don't know where I'll look next if I want to avoid the "hire disabled folks because they're desperate" trap.
Gonna keep breathing, taking it one day at a time. That's all I can do right now.

Conversation I had recently:
him: my train was delayed for 15 minutes by a hobo.
me: how so?
him: the police had to come to get him off the train.
me: whoa, what did he do?
him: he was sleeping on the train.
me: and not bothering anyone?
him: no
me: so the police came to drag a sleeping man off the train, even though he wasn't bothering anyone, just sleeping?
him: yes
me: why?
him: we thought that he might not have a ticket.
me: So a man, who you thought may be experiencing homelessness, was sleeping on the train, other passengers thought that he might not have a ticket, and called the police, who dragged him off the train? And that caused a 15-minute delay? Seems to me like it wasn't the sleeping man who caused the 15-minute delay?
him: ???
Just now, the gates were broken, so I couldn't scan my public transport card. Went out of my way to scan it at a different station, almost missing my connection.
Train conductor just checked our tickets. Young white dude next to me hadn't scanned his card. Conductor tells him to "remember" next time, even though you have to practically break through the gate to get into the station without scanning your card.
Guess we have different rules for different people here. Also I'm low-key annoyed with my own honesty and integrity. Could've saved myself 8 euros and a sprint for the train today.
