Yes, all of them. Even your brother in law or whatever. He's probably beating your sister (statistically speaking)

In the week that followed the police killing of #DaunteWright, dozens of press had been shot by police with ‘less-lethal’ munitions, pepper sprayed, punched in the face, slammed on the concrete, had equipment broken & were detained in Brooklyn Center. 🆕🎥unicornriot.ninja/2021/police-

on this #TransDayOfVisibility, can we please aim for a trans forever of being safe, loved, valued, respected, visible, treated equitably, and having basic human rights recognized without having to fight for any of those things? that'd be cool.

I am interested in seeing if we can create a useful space for trans people and their allies that respects privacy and anonymity.

People shouldn't have to sell their online souls to Facebook so that they can belong to a useful forum.

Hello! I am experimenting with the chat app and created a private, moderated group for trans people and their allies.

If anyone is interested please add me as a contact and then reply to this post with your briar address.

Every year I have a total of 4-5 halcyon weeks where my config works flawlessly on *all* of my machines using a single, synced config.

I really should learn to appreciate those times more :-)

Stop slapping psychiatric diagnoses on people you don't like. All it does is make people with psychiatric conditions look bad. We are not your scapegoats.

ableism, fsf bs 

so apparently people are now excusing the creepy shit RMS does by blaming it on autism??? what the fuck??
Not only has he denied being autistic, it also feels just rlly insulting?? Like,, Im autistic and i dont go around doing creepy shit like he does,!! why would that be a valid excuse??? Being autistic doesn't require you to be a creepy asshole, and it's especially fucking weird when this is used as an excuse for an allistic person

fucking techbros >:(

It got a laugh.

@aral And when it comes to making money, somehow we lost sight along the way that there's nothing wrong with running an apple pie business and being happy selling 50 pies a week if that's all you need. I've never understood the infinite growth mentality. Nor why being a serial entrepreneur should be seen as a good thing. Nor why your grandma needs an account on Facebook to see photos of the grandkids. That's not the web. It's opposite of it. I hope our future will be different.

i might be even more disillusioned (and generally horrified) about software as a general undertaking than i was then, but i don't think i have anything to say about richard stallman in particular that i didn't write out somewhat over a year ago:

but i guess it's probably time to stop pinning any particular hopes on the fsf.
