All marginalized folk ever: Slurs are bad, you agree?

Liberal dudebros: Yes.

Us: So using them when you cannot reclaim them, naming a product or system after a slur, is also bad.

Liberal dudebros: Well actually!!!

I look fine, I guess.

This is a nice dress. I bought it from Indiska in, um, 2013 or 2014, when they still occasionally had wearable clothes on sale.

Dear lazymasto, are there any "sport wristbands" out there that have been around long enough to be reverse-engineered and have non-clound, open-source apps written for them? Preferably something with a pulse/blood pressure sensor.

🤷🏻♂️

I :hacker_l: :hacker_o: :hacker_v: :hacker_e: how mealy-mouthed libertarian tech dudes will say that everyone is too sensitive and needs to man up, and then will proceed to spend entire paragraphs complaining about how pronouns are inconvenient to them, personally.

Today I am told that there is debate among fans in Japan about whether it's better to watch _King of the Hill_ subbed or dubbed and I am so delighted by this claim that under no circumstances shall I ever investigate whether it is true.

I am strongly sympathetic to the 'dub every character except Boomhauer' faction that logic dictates should exist.

fuck kev.

Instead of posting about it scattered a dozen places I wrote about it once in response to an email from a friend and have now uploaded it here: my opinion on the Kev and FOSStodon thing.

If you want to give me feedback, please DM me here or, preferred, send an email to emsenn@emsenn.net

If anyone works in NYC, or knows someone who works in NYC in tech and is hiring please hit me up 👍

Please boost.

What I see happening with that instance is pretty much a carbon copy of what happens in the greater FOSS community: someone with power is finally publicly revealed to be a bigot, and everyone involved in the project just shrugs and remains ignorant (by choice or by privilege). There’s blowback for a bit and oppressed people are harmed so they leave and/or cut off contact, and the status quo remains unchanged.

Until privileged tech folk stop coddling fash tech folk, nothing will change.

So I bought some new workout gear and I feel like I should go outside and yell aggressive encouragement at people.

me, when camping: fuck, yea, it's raining :-/
me, when home: fuck yea, it's raining!

hey, my :heart_orange: android masto client, @Tusky , just merged the PR that will rickroll people on fash instances. I'm going to show my support by donating to them on https://opencollective.com/tusky , and if you want to support them & have the means, maybe you could too!

being on fedi during the first weeks of a new relationship is super awkward. you always feel like you have to go to a different room to toot
