Giving users the power to moderate their own feeds is the key. Centralized moderation will always be flawed--a company can never represent your sensitivities as well as you and your peers (and will likely bow to outside pressure to censor, whether it's China or groups of users).

#Janayugam Malayalam newspaper is switching to GNU/Linux with #Scribus. Possibly first daily in the world to run on 100% #FreeSoftware. Thanks to awesome work by @kannan @bady @mujeebcpy @ranjithsiji Hussain KH and Ashokan mash.

To quote Pennywise:

"Go Straight Ahead,

It's Your Fucking Life"

And yes, it is Friday!

This is among the reasons I never post pictures of my son. I understand and accept risks to my own identity, but I don't own his online identity--I'm merely a steward of it until he's an adult. I hope at that point I can hand it off to him untarnished and unexploited.

At my second job out of college, I had the perfect work setup that no other job has ever met. My development machine was a *NIX workstation, and the lab benches were set up by the systems group on a separate bench with it's own *NIX workstation.

The job wasn't the most interesting, but I've come full circle in that regard. Now stuck in a shitty Windows PC/Windows Network/Microsoft tools environment.

I wonder if anyone has really validated the "many eyes" concept in open source with respect to the number of eyes and number of open source projects. I'm not questioning the efficacy of code review, but just looking at numbers.

In order for code review to be effective, the set of reviewers must cover all the aspects that the code affects. That ranges from coding language to solution subject matter. It must also cover platform concerns like operating system and hardware.

Don't send me to space unless you can ensure protection against space brain.

So, I was getting a bunch of segfaults on an application... running in Python

Achievement unlocked!

The tinysubversions bot had a server issue and lost all the RSS feeds. I'm trying to decide if I should set them up again, fork the code and point to my own servers, or just use an RSS reader instead of Mastodon.

You have to remember that all the calls for personal responsibility with respect to climate change are too little. This doesn't mean stop, but it does mean that the effort is better spent in action that results in big governmental change.

Did a search for 'dead net'. Big mistake. Fucking Grateful Dead all over my screen.

All RSS feeds seem dead today. Did mastodon add a feature?
