Holding my breath as Ed Miliband is reported entering Downing Street. Is there chaos ahead?
If there's one thing I've learned as a browser-engine dev: Everything is political! The most mundane things (e.g. how we answer "what time is it?") has the weight of historical politics behind it. Software freedom is a political project, you can't "leave politics out of it"! It makes a lot more sense to ask "how is this political?" than "is this political?". Because it is!
Technology is political. If your project or organisation has a “no politics” clause, you’re saying you’re happy to exclude people whose very existence is political in our societies. It’s only defensible if you’re coming from a place of privilege where the dominant politics are to your advantage so you can take them as given. There is no such thing as “no politics”; there is only “no politics other than the politics of the status quo that I benefit from, which I’ve internalised as normal.”

Today was the first time I was allowed to vote in the general election. I'm a bit emotional to be honest.
While I’m ranting: how the fuck and when did “having to learn something new” become a thing generally accepted as a burden? Getting to learn shit *while getting paid for it* is an enormous fucking privilege of working in tech, and if you can’t recognize and appreciate that, please step aside for someone who does.
The British custom of lining candidates up to hear the results in public, so that the loser has to eat shit in front of a crowd, and they all have to take Dark Lord Wheelie Bin or whatever seriously, is good and cool #ukpol
July 4th is just Pride Weekend but for the straights
I didn’t have time to think about appropriate snacks for election night, but I am looking forward to my “Chaos with Ed Miliband” bacon sandwich for breakfast.
im not sure who to vote for, if only there was a candidate i could be absolutely certain had run through a field of wheat
The funniest part of capitalist ideology is that someone managed to convince everyone that "freedom" meant like, the freedom to choose between 63 kinds of shampoo and not the freedom to quit a job you hate without the possibility of becoming homeless. #jobs #usa #capitalism #progressive #freedom #politics #anticapitalism
Happy treason day to all my friends in the United Colonies.
HAPPY BRITISH INDEPENDENCE FROM TORY RULE DAY
The “innovation token” model for selecting technologies is bad, and here’s why.

"we never used to have all these women in their 30s suddenly getting diagnosed with ADHD" listen, I wouldn't have even noticed I have ADHD if I lived in an era where my doctor could ask if I want to lose 5lbs and then hand me enough amphetamines to see the face of God

If you view changing documentation to use generic “they” instead of “he” text as too political to be acceptable, then I’m sorry but your project is deeply unserious. “The generic user is a man” is a deeply political statement, and hiding behind “we’re apolitical” is bullshit. https://hachyderm.io/@Mara/112718515777208791
