#introductions
👋 I'm a hobbyist programmer and sysadmin who is passionate about #CooperativeTechnology, #smalltech, and other forms of user empowerment with technology. You may have seen me before.

I'm interested in #Gemini and other small internet protocols, along with mobile Linux, real sustainability, and various computer languages (including Rust and Zig).

I won't follow too many people here, or engage in politics, but I will share some updates on the things I'm working on.

Very interesting exploration of non-Git* solutions. I particularly liked his point warning of vendor lock-in.

@freemo Integrity is not whether you follow rules other people made. It is about consistent ethical or moral behavior, especially in the face of pressure. That pressure could even be a law in some cases. You can't have too much integrity, but it is possible for one's moral/ethical framework to be too simplistic to handle the complexity of the real world.

The confusion between legality and morality is because quite a few laws are intended to enforce moral behavior. The idea of "moral laws" is a leaky abstraction, though, which is why you end up needing to follow the spirit of a law rather than its letter.

Also, I disagree with using "Love" on the Selfishness/Enablement axis, but I'll admit I'm not sure what I'd put there instead.

Just introduced this classic talk to some of my devs, when introducing David Nolen and why his perspective is good to hear besides Rich Hickey. youtu.be/8o01g6C7jWg

Proprietary control over education is growing and it is affecting students' rights to information. Watch and share "The University of Costumed Heroes and fight for young people's freedom. u.fsf.org/fsfheroes

@collappsar If some of "The Juice" are alcoholic and a little salty, maybe they can be called "Margaritas."

@collappsar "The Juicers" is more accurate. The Juicers squeeze Juice from the Juiced.

I like the point that many Linux users actually know how to make bug reports, and there is transparency in where they go

@blueberry @redoak @be sometimes uninstalling app remove config or app data, which may be messed up for some reason.

@trinsec

Some of us do follow it, when we're not being held hostage by form fill-in fields or antiquated style guides. Sometimes I'll compromise by using the European format with the month in letters, but otherwise I strongly prefer ISO 8601.

@mk @freemo @hans_w

@worldsendless Yes, it is at least one of those. What colors are you using in Emacs?

@Deiru
I wouldn't be all that surprised. After all, ~25% of devs use it as their primary OS.

The Australian mandate not leaving any room for religious exemptions just goes too far.

OMG I just learned about TempleOS, the religious operating system. He even wrote his own version of C called HolyC... this is amazing!

@rysiek@mastodon.technology That's a funny way of spelling "PHP".
