    @lesteph Yes - for most mainstream usage, I think we do tend towards 'commodity' - eg if charging overnight or time/power is a luxury, then it probably doesn't matter so much. But it's useful all other times, even just charging (some) phones from a battery while out and about. I need to compare a crap cable...

      17 week update. Weather-wise, we've started to see some signs of Autumn approaching - people have talked of _putting the heating on_, and ba...

    tfw when the kids are quiet for too long and when you ask what they're doing, it turns out they're butchering your carefully-honed Mario Golf Advance story line.

    Up too early, trying to shake a cold, first day back in the office for a week after touring the country. Feeling rather... Discombobulated. It is sunny though.

    @floppy @h Also, there will always need to be some political/philosophical/moral compromise in that case - nothing is perfect and pure (and usable ;) - is that decision over how to compromise too complex for many? I'm not sure I can choose, other than gut instinct (but, now that I think about it, am facing it in many different ways).

    @floppy @h Fascinating subject. Definitely agree that FOSS embeds a political opinion. It then gets interesting when multiple opinions get presented - how does one value one opinion over another? eg an open source codebase vs a maintainer engaged in unethical activities. Does it make sense to consider software as just one end of an entire supply chain? Is that different to the code itself deliberately encoding a certain kind of behaviour? 🤔

    @nico Sorry, been since 5.30am with a toddler, and made the mistake of trying to communicate thoughts in my own tired circumstances.
    ...
    Reflecting on it, I think I probably get on edge when I feel like I'm being put into a box of my own, and while I agree 100% with what you're saying, I've been thinking a lot recently about how much pain there is in the world generally. And it feels that each person will have their own challenges, as your say, but it also feels like the solution to a lot of that pain doesn't depend on their identity and affiliation. Listening and caring are global solutions, is what I mean.
    ...
    It is good that you are having these thoughts and posting these posts :) It is another piece of the puzzle for me - it is hard to have these conversations in real life, if you're not part of a diverse network, and the diversity of the net is exactly what I love about it.

    @nico Hang on, not coming across very well. Got to do a nursery run and bit knackered this morning - let's try this again when I have more brain :)

    (Also, threads don't help. I think I replied to your first post before reading the follow-on, which gives it more context.)

    I do understand you here, and am also trying to work it out in order to be 'better' - this bit *is* about me, in that regard: I'm trying to improve how I see the world.

    It *is* complicated, and simplifying it doens't help me. Categories _are_ a useful starting point - I've spoken to women about sexism in the same way, and it's the same thing: there are distinct and particular challenges based on a category. But that understanding is only a good first step, and is one, fragmented aspect of an overall move forwards towards no differential treatment no matter what...

    @nico True, but also totally applicable to a lot of cis people too. Or just "people" in general. Just an overall mindset of this would be so amazing - trying to work out the categories in order to apply different attitudes in the first place is incredibly difficult. Universal love.

    @floppy The problem is when behaviour starts to become a development issue, and politics becomes a code review instead of a conversation. I assume a fork of Mastodon (which is one click these days anyway) is more of a "signal of intent"...

    When you keep expanding the amount of forbidden topics that can't be spoken about in a conversation or the contexts... what is there left to talk about?

    @maiyannah Yeah, it's not healthy to give yourself labels. "Once you recognise good, bad inherently appears" - says Lao Tzu, or some such. "If you have a this, you must also have a that, but what is that and what is this?" - jokes Chuang Tzu. Why bother?
