One of the reasons I appreciate and respect trans people, is that understanding yourself at that level, and choosing to assert your identity in that way, is punk (as in rock) as fuck.
I suspect this might be what triggers some bigots so easily too. They could never do so for themselves in their own lives.

Why doesn't technology acknowledge our existence? Programmers of the world, we want answers!
Und dann auch noch von "Datenspendenden" reden?
Wenn's um das Gemeinwohl gehen würde, dann sollten diese Daten kostenlos verfügbar sein, schließlich werden die Eingangsdaten von allen Teilnehmenden gespendet.

speaking of propagators, this just showed up on the HN front page https://www.orionreed.com/posts/scoped-propagators
very cool!
new blog post: functional reactive user interfaces with propagators
https://dthompson.us/posts/functional-reactive-user-interfaces-with-propagators.html
a fun little experiment in declarative ui that doesn't do the react virtual dom thing.
@dthompson @daviwil I remember Sussmann saying the same in *We Really Don't Know How to Compute*, that the syntax he used for propagators is not necessarily final and that we should find a more expressive way to represent them
Personally I think visual graphs show a lot of promise in this regard, since they seem like a pretty nearly 1:1 mapping, e.g.: https://holograph-1.vercel.app/
Vielleicht können CDU/CSU/FDP/SPD/Grüne ja aus Frankreich die Idee abgucken, dass man Wahlen gewinnen kann, wenn man entschieden GEGEN Rechtsextreme auftritt?
(Noch krasser: In dem sie auch noch darauf verzichten, die rassistische Politik einfach selbst zu erledigen?)
@crowbriarhexe I'm not arguing that she didn't take inspiration from better works, merely that she did in fact write the HP books, and that those books were never actually unbiased or unproblematic and are in fact perfectly consistent with her current right wing reactionary tantrum phase.
I wonder: Does anyone want to write their own browser engine? In your choice of language/framework?
Because I'm happy to mentor! I've found some tricks in my own attempts.
Since I see plenty of thirst for more options...
Dear #blind and #visually_impaired Fedi friends, I hope I can ask you all a question. I am a #writer researching a good publishing plan.
#Accessibility is essential, and I wonder what the modern preferred format for blind readers of self-published or indie novels is.
Additionally, what would your advice be on making #writing more accessible to people who are blind when self-publishing a novel?
Please boost for reach.
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!
Shower thought: Companies only pay taxes on their profits — after subtracting all overhead from their revenue. People should get the same treatment. After subtracting our reasonable housing costs, electricity, water, transportation and a reasonable rate for their time (since companies get to deduct salaries to employees as overhead, we should get to do the same), the remainder is what we should pay taxes on.
git add CONTRIBUTING.md && git commit -m "More accurate language" && git push -f
I am so tired of repeating this, but it seems to be evergreen:
The people behind a project cannot and will not avoid forcing their politics on the project. Software, like art, is inherently political. This cannot be changed. Therefore you must judge a project not only by technical quality of the code, but by the conduct and opinions of the people who write it.
While #Ladybird is trending, keep in mind the devs are misogynist and transphobic fucks 0:-)
