Hey has anyone out there tried out a larger eInk reader like the Kobo Forma or one of the big Onyx Boox devices? I've been pondering getting an eReader that's bigger than the basic Kindle Paperwhite, but I was curious if anyone had thoughts about them.

Hey fedi, the Recurse Center is offering up to $1000 to trans/non-binary/women programmers for upcoming batches. RC changed my life and is just an amazing experience/community -- see here for more: https://www.recurse.com/blog/156-were-offering-grants-for-our-spring-2-and-summer-1-batches

the FSF is determined to literally self-destruct

Hello dear academic journal or publisher,

if you wish to spam us about diversity, equality, and similar,

maybe adopt full open access first so people you want to be inclusive of can afford to read the science without other people risking their lives for us to gain access to it.

Yours truly,

We call for the @fsf Board to resign in light of the recent reinstatement of #RMS.

@fsf It's a shame that the secretive insiders "buddy club" that is the FSF Board of Directors put personal friendships ahead of the good of Free Software and the good work of the FSF staff itself. (Not to mention LP contributors.)

Founders Syndrome is real and it can destroy even the most meaningful organizations.

local hate group For Women Scotland has lost their attempt to force the government to not be able to have trans-inclusive policy, with the judge presiding over the case making it pretty goddamn clear that trans women are in fact women.

It's not looking too good for FWS as a whole really. They've blown a LOT of The Heritage Foundati- I mean, Joanne Ro- I mean, their extremely grassroots cash on this case.

Sunday, I was happy to give a talk at the FSF #LibrePlanet, wearing the Tshirt I designed for them (photo). But later that day, Richard Stallman announced his return to the FSF's Board of Directors. In this situation, I'll no longer invest my energy for them... 😿
