Backblaze will save my ass again, but not my gists, stars, or contribution history to other repos I assume.
If you are cisgender, the responsibility is on you to fight for trans, nonbinary, intersex folks.
If you are straight, the responsibility is on you to fight for gay, lesbian, bi, pan, a,aro folks.
Those in positions of privilege & power are the ones most responsible for change.
3. Be visible for the people who don’t yet feel comfortable being their authentic selves publicly.
If you aren’t ready, it’s ok. We’re still here supporting and fighting for you.
2. March with a tribe stronger than the corporation that pays your bills. If you don’t have one, this is a great month to connect with like-minded queers on some interest or cause. Your employer does not need your help promoting its brand during a protest. Wear a different shirt.
The only 2 things I want from #WWDC2022:
1. watchOS with third-party watchfaces (the only feature keeping me on a Fitbit)
2. IP67 waterproof iPad (I like to read in the bathtub)
Nothing has captured what I feel experiencing my birth country (USA) from afar (Sverige) quite like this essay and poem by LaDonna Witmer, a poet who moved her family to Portugal.

Repeal the 2nd Amendment. #GunControlNow
A reminder that Mastodon and the Fediverse do NOT use cryptocurrency, blockchains, NFTs, tokens, coins, mining, web3 or anything like that.
Masto and the Fedi run on traditional servers and use a sustainable network federation model somewhat similar to e-mail (that's why Fediverse addresses look similar to e-mail addresses).
Also a reminder there are no venture capital firms or other investors either. No one owns the network, each server is independent. Masto and Fedi server running costs are paid by their owners, sometimes with donations from users.
No one is getting rich from the Fediverse, it is all volunteers with some getting donations and a few getting modest grants from foundations. Please remember this when you interact with admins or developers.
(There might be some individual users who post about cryptocurrency/blockchain, but the infrastructure this place runs on doesn't use it at all.)
Tl:dr - Decentralisation does NOT mean cryptocurrency/blockchain
I work in tech, fight for digital rights and the environment, kiss dudes, cycle, lift heavy things, and don’t eat animals. Swedish immigrant, US American emigrant. Occasionally shirtless.
