I think Eric Raymond’s /The New Hacker’s Dictionary/ (1991) marks the transition from the often-whimsical culture of the original Jargon File¹ to the self-congratulatory programmer culture of the ‘90s and thence through stages to the beaten-down cogs-in-the-machine culture of today.
Raymond’s version Misses the Point profoundly, in a way that Guy Steele’s 1983 /The Hacker’s Dictionary/ did not.

Whenever @KevBot and I notice anyone eavesdropping on our conversation, we immediately switch over to using fake terminology just to throw off the nosy people.
Example:
"I’m goin' FULL grunion!"
"Don’t tell ME how to glick!"
They usually stop after that.

A few of us are going to visit our neighboring project in federated messaging, the @matrix conference in Strasbourg today. The two projects are rather different architecturally, funding-wise etc but we remain ready and interested for discussions around common concerns and general exchange of what's happening :) For those curious, here is a panel discussion from the Elevate festival in Graz 2018 vimeo.com/273876820
And a later discussion with @matthew

quick heads up. Our impressions: #matrix is going strong with public sector entities, and it's where most dynamics happened at the conf.
We are rather focused on private and resilient messaging where servers don't play a big role; as we want #chatmail relays to be dirt cheap to operate, no pro version needed. Our focus is on informal usage, groups, family, friends, affinity or interest groups, whereas matrix is increasingly focusing on corporate/ organizational use cases. YMMV
So about the still-ongoing Framework community management incident,
> Harassment or threats: Any comments, posts, or replies that attack, demean, or intimidate an individual or group (e.g., homophobic slurs, anti-trans sentiment, calling other users “Nazis” or “fascists”, etc).
Who tf said it's completely okay to mix queer inclusiveness and nazi inclusiveness?
@modulux The first one just seems weirdly arrogant out here in the wilds of the internet, like, you're not so good or important that threatening to withhold yourself is a loss of anything important. Again, it's not like you're threatening to ban someone from the only store in 200 miles.
I can get behind the second though, makes sense.

Nádhera. Uzavírka hlavní silnice A4 v Londýně, o prázdninovém víkendu…
Všechny přijíždějící autobusy minimálně o 2 hodiny zpožděné, jakákoli trasa na objezd pro 15m dlouhý autobus zacpaná.
Takže se uvidíme zítra v 6 ráno. Abych mohl být ve 4 zpátky v práci!

one of the most irritating parts of running your own instance is having to modify source files just to change your character limits. there are plenty of posts out there describing how to change the character limits for posts, but almost none on how to change the limit for alt text (1500):
here's the source file where the alt text char limit is buried:
/instance/app/javascript/mastodon/features/ui/components/focal_point_modal.jsx
and here's the source that needs to be changed:
<FormattedMessage id='upload_modal.detect_text' defaultMessage='Detect text from picture' />
</button>
<CharacterCounter max={1500} text={detecting ? '' : description} />
</div>
<Button
type='submit'
disabled={!dirty || detecting || isUploadingThumbnail || length(description) > 1500 || is_changing_upload}
text={intl.formatMessage(is_changing_upload ? messages.applying : messages.apply)}
/>
</form>
change "1500" to whatever value you want.

"Tech workers don't need a worker union. They are well compensated"
uh.
Look at the North American pro sports leagues. They all have unions for the players. And they are compensated way more than tech workers...
