I want you to vote on the Red Hat Women in Open Source Awards.

I happen to be a finalist, but there are SO MANY OTHER AMAZING PEOPLE on that list. I want you to go through and read all the profiles, see some of the amazing work that's been happening by people who just happen to not be men. I want you to congratulate them on being a finalist. And I want you to vote for whoever you think is the best recipient of the award.

Yo' people.

Once again I'm at it.

CW your violence.
Please.

And don't forget other kinds of CW. It allows both to protect people you appreciate and share things with from getting hurt by what you share. It prevents people you don't know from being hurt.

And it also allows to boost it without worrying about hurting others, if it's interesting.

i think the addictive tech of social media still exists here on fedi?

it's design is inspired heavily by those services, and it transfers. favs and boosts and @mentions and everything about social media as we know it is based around that stuff

and i mean, i'm fine with that. i use social media as a drug, and i think responsible use is healthy

but like, unless we seriously revamp the way things work here, i don't think we can say "it doesn't center around addictiveness"

"Radi-Aid; Africa for Norway" is a great spoof of silly charities who don't know what they're doing and want to 'save' Africa

(It's from the Norwegian aid body)

It seems that building #Electron from source is such a Lovecraftian horror show that it just isn't worth doing on #OpenBSD.
