you have the right to scream at ass; if you are unable to scream at own ass, an ass will be provided for you

the new thinkpads have moved away from the ultra-slim trend in favor of a thicker, cuter aesthetic.

While I'm still grading some of the pins I think I've got plenty of good ones to put it up in the shop! https://www.hellovoid.online/product/doot-soft-enamel-pin

It's time we stop fussing about source code.

It's time to start fussing about the incredible range of humans that have always made it possible.

sexism isn't an opinion
racism isn't an opinion
homophobia isn't an opinion
transphobia isn't an opinion

you don't get to "disagree" about
someone's identity and human
rights.

I mean, dusty tomes of forgotten lore? man pages

eldritch abominations that must be placated? social media algorithms

bizarre chanting? SUDO APT UPDATE SUDO APT UPGRADE

Clarke's Third Law states that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic

I'd argue we've got to that point now and so instead of "person who knows a bit about tech" I am in fact a witch

Look at that face

A whole bunch of my recent photography is now up on http://sophia.pictures - I don't really have a particular focus or direction at the moment, duck appreciation aside, but that's likely to change with fall coming in and the forest changing colour. There's a bit of a back catalogue on there too 😊

For every gross dude you tolerate, there's almost certainly several people who are pushed out of that space you created for him

The more influential the gross dude, the more people will emulate him and help to push out even more people

And it's mostly women who get pushed out

So for the likes of RMS and Torvalds, the damage they have done to the field of Computer Science may be incalculable

Good riddance

Sexual harassment was wrong in the 50s. It was wrong in the 80s. It is wrong today.

There is no statute of limitations on social interactions.

The Internet is helping people come together to claim their power and hold those *in* power accountable.

I hope that this is only the beginning.

And I hope that racism gets the same treatment.

It was dark and wet outside.

Not actively, it was calm in the aftermath of the downpour. A vivid memory that prevented the sun from reappearing.

Well, okay, the CLOUDS were; I had a vague idea of how weather worked.

Humans had a way of explaining everything.

Other fey griped that it sapped the magic out of the world.

But I disagreed.

Science was just their magic.

And their science gave us Cold Brew; the most magical of elixirs!

#Stallman resigns from #FSF

#RMS #FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FLOSS #FOSS

The lesson I want people to take from RMS' jump-before-pushed resignation:

"Your heroes and role models will be held accountable for being a jerk. If you emulate their behavior, you will also be held accountable."

The lesson the problem people will take: "SJW waaaaah!"

I think it's important that we repeat the better lesson.

Looks like RMS quit MIT.
