I just discovered Eton has societies, one of which being FemSoc (their Feminism Society) those societies are started and run by pupils, somewhere out there is an Etonian who went "wait I can call this FemSoc"

corruption and fraud above a certain amount should be treated as seriously as murder. because fraud kills. corruption kills. when a congressman pushes a bill to, say, build a highway because they personally will make $3 million selling land for that project, we should lock them up for life.

I gave a talk at EMF titled "Men in Tech #YesAllMen", in which I told my experience of being a woman in tech. I was afraid to publish it in case it affected my current or future employment. With all the current news I would like to add my 2¢. So here is the recording: youtu.be/WXL6K1lhvt0?...

why do LLMs love Rust so much. its truly the Python of lower-level languages

finally got glasses after not bothering for two years. so this is what it’s supposed to be like

Increasingly concerned re: people offloading vital cognitive processes by using GIF replies. Expressing snark with words is a core part of being human, don't let some GIF picker widget a startup preloaded with clips of mid range TV shows take that from you!

I called our dog Tony Blair because when he was a puppy he always veered to the right as he ran.

"the military is apolitical" and other fun consequences of the two party system

looking into XMPP. previously I shat on mastodon and matrix for making their own clients, but now I kinda see why. you really need someone to set a baseline of functionality/usability this sympathy doesn't extend to mastodon, their mobile clients still suck

suck my fucking balls GitLab docs.gitlab.com/user/search/...

securitycels got me googling shit like "bitwarden webauthn prf support" with a straight face

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

people with the means to buy internet from decent companies with SLAs and don't annoy me immensely, you bitch about your ISP/internet but you won't put your money where your mouth is

Truly wild to have lived through moral panics about teenagers wearing hoodies and Muslim women wearing the head dress to now experience 'but is a large group of organised far right activists in balaclavas really that scary'

I love sucking off American corporate todger, I love needlessly stupidly designed government websites to "compare" thing using completely arbitrary measures no one understands, I love that my fucking phone provider has to make critical information summaries but not healthcare providers

one of these days mediawiki will read their fucking bug backlog one of these days

the amount of enshittification caused by [insert megacorp here]'s competitors pointing loaded shotguns at their face over the last 20 years is concerning yet unsurprising

I don't think the iPhone gets enough credit for making the web slightly less of a cesspit then it was (killing flash and the likes)

Age verification makes everyone less safe. Age verification makes everyone less safe. Age verification makes everyone less safe. Age verification makes everyone less safe. Age verification makes everyone less safe. Age verification makes everyone less safe.

I hate that all modern electronics are like 99.99% utter dogshite thats not compliant with anything, 0.01% something decent, and 10% "fuck this, I'll just buy the industrial/enterprise version of it"

evergreen

email should have always been plaintext only, I hate HTML in emails and I hate that emails contain remote content

I need to learn how to give feedback to others, my personal strategy of "make a massive list of problems and go fix them" comes off as harsh

they managed to make normal people talk about password managers which is honestly impressive in its own right
