I had a excellent first #EMFCamp. Fantastic programme of talks on the main stages along with an incredible set of community art installations and activities of all types. Also lasers and a gigantic ZX Spectrum!

my first #EMFCamp was such a blast! i had a truly lovely time hanging out with new and old friends, solving puzzles, and learning from so many impossibly smart people đ⨠#EMF2024
All those companies who hollowed out their Open Source Programs Offices fucked around and now they're finding out: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/06/google-accidentally-published-internal-search-documentation-to-github/

Angelica is joined by Samantha Coyle to talk about her newly published textbook: Go Programming - From Beginner to Professional. This book serves as a go-to guide to master Go for real-world software dev success covering fundamentals to advanced topics.
Don't let the unexpected derail your projects. Read our guide on embracing uncertainty in software development and unlock new possibilities. Everything you need to know about securing the software supply chain.
You don't owe anyone a follow (this includes me). Not even people you've been mutuals for a while. Not even people you know on real life. Not even people whose profile you check often.
Sometimes they just post too much. Or post stuff you don't want pop up on your list (but want to check on your terms). Or they start (re-)posting hate (you don't owe them a call out; especially not if you don't think it will go well). Sometimes they are lovely folks but just bore you with their favorite sports.
I absolutely hate this capitalistic view of Open Source, the saying "We do whatever we want, it's Open Source anyway".
This leads to philosophies like "Let's rewrite this entire thing our way, and put some marketing on it, this will destroy the previous project and deny the work of all its contributors, but hey, it's Open Source".
Or even "Let's take this entire project, add our brand, put some glitter and marketing on it, and sell it, without giving any fucks to its maintainers".
Hate them.

Y'know how there's a pattern of behavior where someone says something is bad about the tech industry or community or OSS software or something, and then every single nerd within a 50 square mile radius says *WELL ACKTUALLY*??
I just realized that if, like, even 10% of them just... Sat down and spent some energy fixing the problem instead of insulting someone for experiencing it, we would've solved all those issues by now
If youâre ever thinking about posting âany updates on this?â in a GitHub issue that hasnât seen any activity in years: there arenât any updates on this.
I've been using the Chromium browser for certain websites, and that's about to end.
Google's greed-fueled moves -- this time to disable vital extensions that provide better privacy and security -- are unacceptable to me.
The stakes here are quite high. If Google succeeds what it's attempting to do -- forcing us to use only Google-approved privacy and security choices -- we're in trouble.
Firefox looks like the best way forward at this point.

This is a graph of Discordâs algorithmically inferred gender (extracted from ârequest your dataâ json; axes are probability and days) for a user whose display name is âTiffanyâ, whose bio is âshe/herâ, whose pfp is a drawing of a girl and whose profile theme color is pink.
Algorithmically inferred gender is worse than useless. Presumably the issue is that she talks about programming, and all the deliberate âI am explicitly telling you I am a girlâ signaling in the world canât convince a computer. I sometimes watch a livecoding streamer whose youtube stats claim his audience is 99% male even though you can see fem-coded chat participants regularly. Algorithms like this are deleting the women
Basically if youâre losing sleep over the fact you donât like a Q* or you think there are too many groups represented on a flag then Iâd like to congratulate you on your comfortable life and suggest you put the energy you have for arguing against representation into something more useful.
If it doesnât hurt anyone beyond making you personally uncomfortable that is decidedly a YOU problem.
*I am aware of the âqueer was used as a slur against me and thus itâs painful for me to seeâ but your discomfort can be healed through reclamation of language and community support, rather than force others to be uncomfortable and disincluded because you donât like the way they refer to themself. I am not aware of any valid arguments on why we should not add black, brown, trans, intersex and whatever future styleguide updates come to the progress flag.
Whilst Iâm here, kink at pride is fine, because itâs almost always just âwearing kinky clothes and accessoriesâ and is not âI am having an orgy in a public street next to a schoolâ. Stop being a cop.
Sometimes, I think we need to stop blaming just Capitalism, and get more personal. Lots of countries use a Capitalistic system, but still manage to pay workers fair wages, provide free/inexpensive Healthcare, have paid maternity/paternity leave, longer paid vacation, shorter work weeks, ect. We use the word Capitalism like Christians use The Devil, but it's not some dark mysterious force, it is people who are choosing to treat other people like actual garbage, it is people who are making laws, people who are denying rights. The derision with which we speak the name of Elon Musk or Donald Trump, should be universal for rich fuckers who choose profits over people. They shouldn't get to hide behind, Oh, that's just late stage Capitalism. It's a choice for them, and it's a choice for the lobbyists who promote them, and it's a choice for the politicians who put those laws into action.
The hilarious thing about shopping at Lidl is that pay attention enough and you notice it's the exact same product packaging as the other supermarkets, but cheaper
"'Queer' not as being about who you're having sex with (that can be a dimension of it); but 'queer' as being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and that has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live."

I still think corporations have Pride Month backwards: this isn't a month to make money off me, this is a month to give me discounts for doing the public service of being this gay!
I should be able to walk into any Target and get 30% off by kissing another girl or showing the cute bandaid from where I did my HRT shot! I should get free coffee at starbucks for walking in with carabiners and a fanny pack! I should be able to demand any random driver pull over and become a free uber by waving a rainbow flag so I can go spread my gayness across the city! Strangers should just hand me a twenty because I'm slouching bisexually in public!?!

The other day at work, in an online meeting, a fuckhead said the phrase âWell, itâs probably because sheâs a woman and she doesnât know what the hell sheâs talking aboutâ, referring to an external contractor.
Iâm not out, but I stopped the meeting and said âYou donât get to talk like that in front of me. Now, I have to call HR.â
There was laughter. To which I replied sternly, âIt is not funny. Do better.â
There was no laughter then.
I donât put up with that shit. Misogyny, any kind of trans- or queer- based phobia, racism. None. Thatâs how you ally - you speak up. You challenge the notion that these fuckers are in a safe place. You DO have power to create change. Be the voice for the voiceless.
Afterwards, two of the other attendees reached out to me to thank for my courage to stand up to one of the âcool kidsâ. I donât need thanks, I need people to be better.
BE BETTER.
