Would anyone be interested in a service where you could pay me to package the software of your choice for GNU #Guix? #creativetoots

Discussions (using the term loosely) about software licensing are always full of developers bitter about the GPL because they feel entitled to using other people's code in their proprietary product and get mad when they can't. I have a feeling that if I wanted to use their proprietary code in my free project the reaction would be different.

#introduction time I guess?

Hi! I'm a 30-mumble-year-old coder lady and hipster currently living in #Pittsburgh. I like to yell about #feminism, #games, #books, and #anxiety. I collect shiny #rocks and unfinished projects.

I feel a lot safer here than Twitter. Now, Mastodon just NEEDS to know about my cat Muffin, right?

I thought the SFLC's defense of Canonical on the ZFS/CDDL issue over the objections of SFC, the FSF, Redhat Legal and Debian Legal was odd enough.

But this makes me think something weird is going on at the SFLC. https://lwn.net/Articles/738046/rss

Definitely reach out, do your best, care for those around you. But if you lost someone, it wasn't your fault, which is surprisingly a hard thing to accept.

Take care of each other, do your best, be a receptive audience, and hopefully we can all make it as okay as we can.

Good luck out there, friends.

I'm seeing a lot of posts about "reach out to your loved ones" and those are def good, 100%.

But some of the posts also kind of imply that if you push harder to reach out you can prevent suicide. It may be true sometimes but not always, and that's not a helpful narrative: it sends the wrong message that you *should* feel responsible for someone's suicide. One of the hardest things about dealing with suicide is accepting: it's not your fault. (cotd ...)

Tipsy's death kind of hit me today harder than I would have expected; I didn't know her well at all but I did get used to seeing her post on here. It also brought back memories of losing one of my best friends to suicide a few years ago. (cotd...)
