Sometimes I think. Maybe, just possibly, some of the cats on here might be just a little spoiled.
Does he have a cup of tea?!? And a little stand to keep it on?
Where is his plate of sweet meats and delicacies? Where is the ever-present hand of the servant to scritch the chin?
There is a direct line from Gamergate to the current AI sloppageddon in open source.
It turns out, like we told you, that “but he does good work” is wrong.
The work eventually stops, too.
The people with the moral fortitude of overcooked pasta when presented with multiple credible allegations or even a conviction of the most heinous violence? Those guys? You expect them to defend anyone? They didn’t even defend themselves.
They are still blaming the whistleblowers for the fact that they faced the mildest of temporary consequences.
Leaders, my ass.
“Where did all the principled people who would hold the line against slop code in open source go?”
Maybe they left or were pushed out because they objected to Nazi tattoos, allegiance to Gamergate with threats of doxxing and SWATting, gendered violence at developer meetings and conferences, convicted child abusers at conferences, transphobia, ableism, and platforming racism because “he can code” or “he wrote a book.”
Did we really expect action against bad things from the so-called leaders who let WILDLY BLOODY OBVIOUS asshole behaviour happen without consequences?
can we please end cyber security awareness month I have been made aware thanks
This was the calmest Raven from the morning. They seem to be most tolerant of human presence at the beginning and end of the day, possibly coinciding with their grooming and self-maintenance tasks.
to really blow some minds bring up the fact that software needs to be hosted somewhere.
It will be called the
WHY THE FUCK DID NO ONE FUND THIS FUND
WFNOFTF pronounced wiffinofftiff
when the last grant proposal has been written and all the writers have run off to the bogs and forests, we will all of us be free
“…but Wren it sounds like your plan would abolish grant writing and yet, you are a grant writer.”
I said what I said, yes.
Give the grumpiest bastard grant writers several million euro and we will fix this shit.
- no asshole rule for funding
- diversity and INCLUSION INCLUDING RETAINING PEOPLE because hiring is worthless if everyone rage quits because your org is a dumpster fire
- multi-year funding for maintenance
- if someone maintains critical code, and the community describes them as a lovely person they would trust to guard their drink, they get a living wage for years to do whatever. Seriously this would work. It would be a better use of money than the current secret handshake and code word system of grant writing.
For years, it’s been common knowledge among grant writers for open source tech that putting maintenance of existing code in a proposal can tank the whole thing.
Funders, do you hear us now? Are you going to remember this week and let go of the new shiny object fixation?
Finally! Steve can get back from the pub safely.
Et voilà la collection de couverts-outils ! Des coutils ?
Dass die AfD-Mails nicht so richtig zum Skandal werden liegt daran, dass wir das alles schon lange wissen. Das sind halt Nazis. Wen überrascht denn, dass sie Nazisachen schreiben? Oder Nazisachen planen? Oder Nazisachen machen? Die Einordnung ist seit Jahren da, es gibt Gutachten, Urteile und alles. "Oh schaut! Wir haben in einem Schrank des Hauses, in dem alles voller Scheiße ist, noch mehr Scheiße gefunden. Was soll uns das nur sagen?"
Der Skandal ist, dass sie immer noch nicht verboten ist.
Dear future #FOSDEM speakers / devroom organizers / attendees, will you take the #FOSDEMPledge ?

HUGE thanks to @janl for this brilliant initiative! ❤️
Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to select a Chancellor whose motivations can be summed up by “how dare that woman say no to me?”
Krautreporter hat sechs Jüdinnen und Juden erzählen lassen, ob sie sich in Deutschland noch sicher fühlen.
Und das Ergebnis zeigt, wie fatal Populismus jeglicher Art ist. Denn durch die Verkürzung "Regierung Netanjahu -> Staat Israel -> Alle Juden weltweit" wird so viel kaputtgemacht. Das gleiche gilt übrigens für "militante Hamas -> Palästina -> alle Palästinenser weltweit"
Wir dürfen nicht aus falsch verstandener Solidarität wegen dem Genozid in der Mitte des letzten Jahrhunderts die Augen vor dem aktuellen verschließen, aber deshalb nicht auch noch den Hass für einen dritten anzetteln.
(Nein, ich habe keine Lösung für den Konflikt. Aber mehr Hass und Ausgrenzung aufgrund von Ethnie oder Religion funktioniert garantiert nicht)
11% der AfD - Wähler:innen befürworten eine AfD-Prüfung in Karlsruhe, 7% sind unentschlossen.
46 % BSW- Wähler:innen
63 % der Wähler:innen der Union (heyho CDU Deutschlands, CDU/CSU-Bundestagsfraktion)
83 % der LINKEN- Wähler:innen
85 % der SPD- Wähler:innen
94 % der Grünen- Wähler:innen
Ich finde schon, das die Zahlen hier so ein wenig in eine bestimmte Richtung tendieren.
I know history usually rhymes, not repeats, but a German political party hostile to disabled people, trans people, immigrants, and Jewish people is working with corporations to subvert democracy, and is also getting cozy with a right wing Russian government attacking Ukraine.
The centrists are more concerned with the left wing party than the blatant fascists.
They are more frightened of affordable housing than someone bombing apartment blocks.
