If you live in the US, please please PLEASE contact your reps to oppose KOSA. https://www.stopkosa.com/
Seriously. Contact your reps. Contact your reps!!! Don't wait for everyone else to do it. This hurts queer youth, but also, it's likely to have a big impact on decentralized social media at large. It's likely to hurt the communities you have here.
Don't sit by. Please take action!

Despite being immersed in a Mario-universe, this is one of the most serious comics on how people feel trapped in abusive relationships I've seen http://leftoversalad.com/c/031_daisy/

RMS pulls a serious power move (read: dick move), unilaterally appointing a maintainer to Guile without consulting the other co-maintainers or community, because the current co-maintainers disagree with him on governance https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2019-10/msg00005.html

More and more progress on the promise chaining stuff in #Spritely Goblins https://gitlab.com/spritely/goblins/commit/3ba29f9b839ae8a0ebfb307c03bb21129918e29b
Next I need to work on same-machine but far-vat promise chaining. (Yeah I know, that sounds like nonsense.)

Losing my mind reading an article about how AI can "solve" climate change. As if ExxonMobil execs are sitting around going "gosh we WISH we could do something about climate change but we just haven't found the right tech yet."

Hit that "aha" moment... or at least the moment where I think I probably hit the "aha" moment

@emsenn Haha! I realize I'm being probably very opaque as I've gone this far down the rabbit hole. I hope people don't mind me "thinking out loud" even though it's probably like "wtf is Chris talking about anymore".
Yes, soon this should transform into stuff other people can understand without thinking about all the mechanical stuff I'm musing over :)
