When I came out to my mom, when I was 18, I was nervous as anything.

She's a great mom, she always raised me and my brother to treat folks compassionately, and even before I came out to her she talked about LGBTQ+ people with care and love. But still, it was terrifying, nerve-wracking. I had peers who'd been kicked out of their homes, and even though I believed my mom would be accepting, the possibility of our relationship changing because of my sexuality was dreadful.

Before I came out to her, I came out to my three best friends at the time, one after the other. My reasoning was that if things went poorly, I would want community around me. A parent's rejection hurts more than almost anything else, I instinctively knew, and I took pains to make sure I was safe.

Of course my mom was loving in her response, and she is an outspoken ally of the queer community in her role as a minister in the United Church of Canada. At this point, she might have even been to more Pride celebrations than I have, and she's certainly waved the rainbow flag more than me (I'm not very flashy :P )

But even with all that, if someone - a teacher, a parent, a peer - had outed me to her before I was ready, with words I might not choose for myself, things could have gone much differently. I know this because it's happened to many, many, many of my queer kin.

For LGBTQ+ youth in hostile or precarious households, being outed to bigoted parents has consequences, it is an act of harm. "Parents rights" have nothing to do with their child's sexuality, gender, or anything else except insofar as it serves to help the child grow and flourish. A teen keeping their pronouns private from their parents may be the best thing that teen can do to keep themselves safe and housed.

ALL kids deserve the right to privacy, - even from their parents - kids deserve to grow into adults on their own time, to grow into whole people without worrying they might be homeless.

This move across Canada by conservative governments to turn teachers into gender-cops has NO purpose except to cause harm to LGBTQ+ people. It's a resentful, spiteful little law, that only the worst kinds of people who have a very specific, very intentional hatred of us, would write.

#Librem5

@jk And the worst is this - eight billion people on the planet have to look at these, but none of us got to participate in the decision of whether to do it.

Thanks to @antonok libcall-ui's main branch now uses GTK4/libadwaita. We've also tagged 0.2.0~beta1 for that.

For GTK3/libhandy applications there's still the 0.1.x branch.

@foosel
Maybe it's not that much, compared to the energy spent on those situations 😅? I just recently learned about my ADHD, and it explained SO much about my past, and also makes it easier for me to forecast what will take me more energy than I can spare, making it easier to plan "correctly"...

So, ehrm, wanted to say: if you feel it might make sense to get it checked, take into consideration that it MIGHT actually make things easier in the mid run already 😊.

finally here: the first new batch of MNT Reform motherboards since the chip crisis!

Finally fixed my #nitter instance (nt.catgirl.cloud) to properly work again. Let's see how long it'll work this time...
I am a little bit surprised though that I still need it with Twitter/X apparently slowly burning to the ground. Why do people still use Twitter and share Twitter links?

switching to the #librem5 was one of the most liberating decisions this year. Even with all the little earlier adopter issues and inconveinces. I have developed a lot of tricks, workarounds and solutions. Wonder if I should write a blog post about them..

Are you working on #GNOME / #LinuxMobile / #freedesktop / #localfirst related things?

Want to meet and work with the community in and around #Berlin ?

We're having a Hackfest & GNOME 45 Release Party in #Berlin on the 16 and 17 of September.

DM me if interested.

And here are the results of the battery discharge profile.
The outcome will make it into firmware v1.3.
The discharge happened at ~650mW or roughly 0.05C which is about the average discharge in most apps.
This yields a battery runtime of roughly 11-12h with moderate use (no WiFi).

RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE.

When I was at one of my lowest (mental) points in life, I couldn't get out of bed some days. I had no energy or motivation and was barely getting by. I had therapy once per week, and on this particular week I didn’t have much to ‘bring’ to the session. He asked how my week was and I really had nothing to say. “What are you struggling with?” he asked.

I gestured around me and said “I dunno man. Life.” Not satisfied with my answer, he said “No, what exactly are you worried about right now? What feels overwhelming? When you go home after this session, what issue will be staring at you?”

I knew the answer, but it was so ridiculous that I didn‘t want to say it.

I wanted to have something more substantial. Something more profound.

But I didn’t.

So I told him, “Honestly? The dishes. It's stupid, I know, but the more I look at them the more I CAN’T do them because I'll have to scrub them before I put them in the dishwasher, because the dishwasher sucks, and I just can’t stand and scrub the dishes” I felt like an idiot even saying it.

What kind of grown ass woman is undone by a stack of dishes? There are people out there with actual problems, and I'm whining to my therapist about dishes?

But my therapist nodded in understanding and then said:

“RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE.”

I began to tell him that you're not supposed to, but he stopped me.

“Why the hell aren’t you supposed to? If you don’t want to scrub the dishes and your dishwasher sucks, run it twice. Run it three times, who cares?! Rules do not exist, so stop giving yourself rules."

It blew my mind in a way that I don’t think I can properly express.

That day, I went home and tossed my smelly dishes haphazardly into the dishwasher and ran it three times. I felt like I had conquered a dragon.

The next day, I took a shower lying down.

A few days later, I folded my laundry and put them wherever the heck they fit.

There were no longer arbitrary rules I had to follow, and it gave me the freedom to make accomplishments again.

Now that I'm in a healthier place, I rinse off my dishes and put them in the dishwasher properly. I shower standing up. I sort my laundry.

But at a time when living was a struggle instead of a blessing, I learned an incredibly important lesson:

THERE ARE NO RULES. RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE!!!

The LKML has adapted to the situation at camp.

We are passing these around the table.

Do they look fine @torvalds @gregkh?

#purism #librem5 #linux #mobile #privacy

Last week parts of the #MobileLinux community got together at #FrOSCon and, dare I say, had a great time in our "FOSS on Mobile" devroom 🌈

Throughout two days we had some hacking, lightning talks, workshops and BoFs!

Saturday morning I had the pleasure of welcoming around 5 people (at 10:00 in the morning!)
to the room.
