Last Notes npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Got Zelda loaded up. Pizza and wings scheduled for lunch. Calories don’t count today. It’s November 1998 and I’m living my best life npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Corporate Democrats who have no intention of delivering progressive policy still hold power. Democrats who indulged in bigoted rhetoric still hold power. Democrats who ran against progressive candidates using right-wing talking points still hold power. Democrats who support ICE still hold power. 98% of congress still takes AIPAC money. Let this radicalize you. We keep going. npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré IT’S HAPPENING npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré VOTING IS WOKE. Only gay transgender communist furries vote! If you vote you hate Jesus and America and love the devil and china! Only people who don’t trust our great president Trump vote. Everyone is saying so. Prove your faith in God and Trump and sit this vote out! 🇱🇷 🦅 npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré This week I finally made the switch from getting my groceries at a big chain store to our local co-op. The co-op offers drive-up service so I can still do my shopping without triggering my social anxiety. But more importantly, they vet every product sold for sourcing and buy local and organic. So I can feel better about buying things like coffee and chocolate. npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré It's time to vote California! As per usual, sharing my votes with BlueVoterGuide and I'll provide my reasoning below 👇 https://bluevoterguide.org/view-ballot?bid20=2003b2608d7dff84c4fb7a89796387327c npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré I have never been more burnt out as an open source software maintainer than when people started submitting AI written pull requests. This is hell. I’m in hell right now npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré A fundamental problem we need folks to be willing to compromise on is that unreported issues don’t get fixed in FOSS projects npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré “Have you tried not paying attention to the news?” —advice for straight white able-bodied cis Christian men npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré If you’re a man wondering what you can do about the Cornell 7 situation: cut off that guy you know who has committed assault. That’s literally it. Tell him to his face, “I can’t be friends with people who act like this”. npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Watch out super hot fire take incoming are you ready? If your primary concern is raising awareness around injustice and working to resolve that injustice, that’s woke. If your primary concern is following rules to separate yourself as a “good person” from “those bad people”, that’s not woke. npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Building the same thing as a closed source product, but making the source available, is not a noble pursuit in itself. The point of free software is that it liberates and democratizes. If you’ve forgotten that, what you’re building doesn’t really matter. npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Make websites documents again #nevent1q…m377 npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Your customers hate your use of AI npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Oh no those poor people who are afraid to be overtly racist at work because we might be mean to them. They’re just trying to participate in the marketplace of ideas. Aww poor babies. Anyways it seems OnePassword’s stance here is that fash money is as green as anyone’s. That’s capitalism for you! #nevent1q…48dz npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Wild how there’s no money to fund the accessibility stack but $12m for *checks notes* ethnic cleansing. What the fuck are we doing #nevent1q…h8ks npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Looks like so far we won’t have to ship age declaration crap in OS 9 🎉 https://www.tomshardware.com/software/linux/california-lawmakers-unanimously-pass-linux-exemption-from-age-verification-law-software-distributed-under-the-gpl-mit-bsd-and-apache-licenses-are-exempt npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré “I used to love elementary OS but now all they care about is safety and accessibility” YES these are the kind of hate comments I’ve been working for. Love it https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/117/165/800/404/053/548/original/4821cb0f9281366d.mp4 npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Wild how everything Americans are afraid of happening under socialism is happening right now under capitalism npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré @nprofile…gr74 I’m soooo tired of people saying this :( npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Just merged the GTK4 port of applications menu. Also, the LiveBuild version of OS 9 is installable. Is it a nice experience right now? Lmao. lol even. But for the brave: https://builds.elementary.io npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré The thing about Mitch McConnell is that he is either fully dead or simply unfit for office. There is no way he can be both fit for office and under suspicion of being dead since June 14th. It doesn’t even matter if he’s alive. Dude cannot do the job. npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Honestly I’d like to see a leftist president run the righty playbook like, “I’ve declared war on climate change! We’re allocating a trillion dollars of the defense budget to combating the greatest threat to our national security in the history of this nation. We’re going to war and we’re going to create jobs and we will save the planet because this. Is. America. Goddammit.” npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Yo let’s fucking go. Socialism is here folks. Buckle up capitalists. We’re tired of this shit. https://apnews.com/article/michigan-primary-senate-elsayed-stevens-60c79349b60ffbf24a34d60b76e130ed npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Since coming out as queer publicly I’ve experienced a number of social and financial setbacks. Our sales have never recovered. I’ve faced a lot of online harassment. Some contributors left our community. And the political climate continues to worsen for folks like me. It’s been rough. This year especially I’ve been facing the limits of my own disability; I’ve been diagnosed with complex PTSD, generalized anxiety, and major depression and was hospitalized for a week just last month npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré If you’ve never heard of elementary before, it’s an open source operating system project I started in 2007 fresh out of high school. I started my journey wanting to bring more human centered design to the Linux desktop and over the years have evolved that mission to center values like inclusive design, ethical funding models, privacy, consent, and decentralization https://mastodon.social/@elementary/110017598054728533 npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré It’s my birthday! I have a big favor to ask 🙏🏼 This year has been especially financially challenging. Long story short, if everyone who downloaded @nprofile…5gk6 OS this year paid just $1, I’d be up some $30,000 but alas I’m down about $11,000 and I’m really concerned about making ends meet until the release of OS 9. If you feel inclined to help me out, I’d really appreciate it if you’d buy a copy of my AI-free Open Source OS or otherwise help with funding via this page: https://elementary.io/get-involved#funding npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Don’t even worry about it bro. AI is gonna teach us how to save the planet. We just need a few more sacrifices bro. Just a few more. It’s called “effective altruism” bro. npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Expectation: “The tent is so big because of all the marginalized people we have to fit in it! 🥰” Reality: “The tent is so big because the Nazis need another safe space bro! Just a little more room for white supremacist christofascist patriarchy bro. Just a bit more. I swear. We gotta make the tent big enough for all this diversity of thought bro. Just enough to purify the entire planet bro. Think of the shareholder value!” npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Don’t waste my time with your AI pull requests. For fuck’s sake. npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/116/978/396/749/273/040/original/0af8a6aeaefe9383.jpeg npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré “Oh but I’d use the ring to protect Gondor”. Sure bud. npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Kind wild how the whole tech industry is just people who did and didn’t get The Lord of The Rings npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré I literally cannot conceive of a thing that isn’t about politics in our current society. My breakfast is about politics. The weather is about politics. When I buy groceries that’s politics. My job is a political act. When I spend time with friends later today that act will also be political. And not because we’ll be protesting but because existing as queer brown women in public is a political act. The fact that so many of my friends are disabled or neurodivergent or sex workers is political npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré We need diversity in our communities not just at the bottom level but in leadership to represent and advocate for our interests. White men are naturally incentivized to be all “I care about the technology, let’s not get political” because the status quo benefits them and the externalities disproportionately hurt us. npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré They’re teaching the Bible in public schools in Texas and the Democrats are like, “We gotta do something about this Zohran guy” npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Christian nationalism is really accelerating in the USA and “we have to fight the godless communists” rhetoric is exploding after several democratic socialist election wins. Democrats have pledged to put a stop to it, and by “it” I mean the progressive policies npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Every day the news is like, “Mayor Mamdani launches new program to retrofit orphan crushing machines into billionaire crushing machines and also the Supreme Court decided 6-3 that corporations can poison everything, extract resources from everywhere, and can’t be held liable for anything at all ever. Plus BIPOC and queer people are even more illegaler” npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré So about that freedom of the press thing. This is concerning https://www.whitehouse.gov/media-bias-category/left-wing-lunacy/ npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré When we prioritize, remember to keep asking questions like “Is this fun?”, “Does this help?”, “Is this kind?” npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré We can’t forget our spirit of protest. The thing to do right now is double down on fixing the problems the capitalist machine won’t solve. Build for the least privileged among us. Build for old hardware, slow internet connections, disability, privacy, consent. Always remember that we can do things they can’t because we do this with genuine care for other people. npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré I’ve had so many conversations now with long-time very serious open source contributors and advocates from a bunch of different projects that all are basically versions of, “Are we still doing something worth doing? Have we become evil corporate drones but just poor and tired? Am I alone in caring about this?” npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Today is the day California! Here’s how I voted: https://bluevoterguide.org/view-ballot?bid20=206119e6ff028cfd0d5e237f8e9aa41dfd&rnd=24470&lang=en&src=&forElection=543 npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Is there anyone who is stoked about mkosi and build stream etc who wants to take this over for elementary OS? I’d really like to have sysupdate compatible images at least as an experiment. I just have too many projects right now https://github.com/elementary/os/pull/793 npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Folks, racism is inevitable. It’s endemic and there’s nothing we can ever do to resolve that. We have to learn to live in a world where racism is part of the norm. At the very least we shouldn’t be so militant about casual or benevolent racism. Instead of wasting time trying to stop racism, we need to refocus on promoting local, on-device, ethical racism This post is about LLMs npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré I dunno who needs to hear this but I got a D in Linux operating systems in college. If you’re passionate about something don’t let some institutional structure tell you that you’re not good at it npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Anybody I know have experience with OpenCollective? I’m interested in trying to move elementary to a more community/nonprofit legal structure but I’m trying to wrap my head around how expenses work. Like how do I actually pay out digital ocean? Does some individual need to pay first and get reimbursed? There’s no direct way to pay expenses? npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré We’ve pushed young people completely out of our public physical spaces and now they’re getting pushed out of our digital spaces as well. Where are they supposed to go? npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré I started elementary as a high school student. When we were building the first versions of our desktop environment, one of our core developers was in high school and his parents accompanied him to the Ubuntu Developer Summit. How many things we have today wouldn’t exist if young people weren’t allowed to participate? The cost of not creating spaces that we can safely share with young people is too high npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Lots of people around me are doing heroine these days. To truly evaluate whether heroine is the right choice for me, I decided I needed to also start doing heroine. And after months of heroine use, I too am unable to stop doing heroine. Sure it comes with trade offs but it’s a truly useful and powerful tool This post is about LLMs npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Not sure if this coding problem is a 15 minute problem or a 6 hour problem https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/116/473/953/818/981/452/original/b4901b785f7da31c.mp4 npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Me: is this okay?

If you’re a woman in tech and you’re thinking that goes away if you become more accomplished, I’m so sorry to inform you that it’s purely an internal work 😅 npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré We have the text now: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/8250/text It’s extremely vague. The most worrying parts to me are that it is very open ended about how age verification happens and it seems to require sharing actual birth dates with app developers, not just age ranges. This one is definitely not as well thought out as the California bill and could potentially be very problematic depending on how it develops. I don’t like this kind of thing hanging over our heads at all npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré From what I understand this is an actual verification bill—not just self declaration like the California law. We really need to hope this is amended or defeated. This is the one to actually worry about #nevent1q…nfyd npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré At the end of the day, AI is a technology for people who like the idea of owning other people. That’s what makes it inherently misogynistic, inherently racist, and inherently fascist. It is an accelerated extraction and exploitation device npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré This is sickening.

If that’s a problem for you, I am extremely happy to give you your money back. #nevent1q…8yvj npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Sorry I haven’t been posting much recently https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/116/333/210/698/244/766/original/90f3bb85b4ff93d3.jpeg npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Please be less aggro when you file issue reports.

Literally this all started and continues to grow because people still for some reason get their news from a guy who says the n word, but not swears because think of the children! npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Imagine if we took climate change seriously in the fucking 60s. How much death and suffering could have been avoided npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré @nprofile…re2d I’m not sure if we can fairly make that conclusion across the board but that’s my gut feeling about a lot of people who say they’ve fallen in love with an LLM. I think they have a shallow view of what it means to be loved. I’d like to see actual research around it. npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré @nprofile…re2d yes but that doesn’t mean they treat the AI as if it were human, it means they treat humans as if they were objects npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré @nprofile…re2d I don’t think people “fall in love” with LLMs because it’s so much like a human, but because it acts nothing like a human and these people are just that emotionally stunted. They do just want a slave. They want to always be validated and coddled and catered to without having to give anything back or introspect or consider they might be wrong or do anything that it takes to form a genuine connection with a real person npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré If you use the word “clanker” to talk about generative AI, I am immediately suspicious of you. This reads to me as, guy that is so racist that he can only experience the world through the lens of bigotry. It doesn’t seem like you actually have any legitimate objections to AI, you’re just super excited you found a group that it’s socially acceptable for you to be racist towards. You would say the n word if you thought it was okay. That’s what I’m hearing from you npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Using ai is not punk rock.

Starting the week on Sunday is for psychopaths. That’d be like measuring your baking ingredients by volume instead of weight npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré @nprofile…re2d they want us to be fighting about left and right when the real fight is tabs or spaces npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré @nprofile…fns8 Gavin does not want to abolish ICE. He has vetoed bills to limit state cooperation with ICE. The democrat position on ICE is that they need more training. Are you not paying attention at all and just going on vibes or what? Democrats have been sliding further and further to the right. Both of the major US parties are right wing and becoming more extreme. Democrats support ICE npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Gavin Newsom is not gonna save us from this hellscape either. He killed universal healthcare in California. He’s opposed to taxing the rich. He thinks trans people need to be “more culturally normal”. Wake the fuck up. Democrats are also evil npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré All y’all saying this wouldn’t have happened if we voted for Kamala, we’d be at brunch blah blah. What the fuck are you actually talking about. She lost specifically because she supported this. She ran on creating the most lethal military and unequivocal support for Israel. npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Kinda bummed I didn’t screenshot it when I reached 8008 followers. Because boob, you know 😔 npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré “Purity culture” is part of patriarchy and is the close sibling of rape culture. It is part of misogyny and specifically exists to shame and devalue women for their innate sexuality. It’s part of a system that grooms you as a child to accept psychological abuse and have low self worth. It’s not when you feel uncomfy because someone pointed out the consequences of your actions. #nevent1q…n96j npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré I keep having this conversation with straight white men that they are somehow perplexed by: man: in order to beat Trump we’re going to have to concede a bit on your rights Me: if you concede on my rights why the fuck do I care if you win? If I lose my rights no matter what, why does it matter to me that you beat Trump? Man: *stunned confusion* npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré It’s wild to watch in real time as fash would rather fork every piece of software they’ve ever used than consider that maybe there’s a reason nobody likes them npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré You may have a favorite desktop that you really love and feel passionate about and that’s great, but we should not be putting down other desktops or their developers for having their own way of doing things. They are our colleagues and often our friends. Just about everyone who works on desktop Linux is an expert in their field in one way or another. And everyone is passionate about what they do and cares deeply about the experience they deliver their users. npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré I’m disappointed at how ingrained tribalism is in the desktop Linux landscape and how frequently I have to remind chatters to treat developers from other desktops with kindness and respect npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré I can’t remember where I saw it, but I feel like today is a good time to revisit the concept of “Vegan + bacon”. People often avoid making small positive changes because they get caught up in trying to go all the way. For example, “I could never go vegan. I love bacon too much”. So then go vegan plus bacon. Or vegetarian plus bacon. Or just switch to oat milk and eat more vegetables. Whatever small change you can make is good npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré And not by telling them to paste shit in a Terminal! Or telling them to switch distros. Or guessing because you’re on a different distro and don’t know the answer. Or asking fucking ChatGPT. Contributing noise is of negative value #nevent1q…cqcd npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Democrats proving that they are the 2nd worst political party in America once again. Demanding that ICE wear body cams. Did they not see the video where he filmed himself shooting her in the face with his own cell phone? What the fuck do you think a body cam is gonna do. They’re proud of it. They want you to see it. They are terrorists. npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré @nprofile…re2d I got mug brownie mix last night and it cured me until I woke up this morning npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Jesus fucking Christ this is not a post asking for advice. I’m instant blocking any mansplainers. Y’all can’t go for one second without thinking you’re the smartest person in the room.

Not that I would ever tell anyone not to. But stuff like no kings hasn’t resulted in any tangible change at all that I know of npub1nqmh5rpxtp38hfj3s9tn4rzujcy8aeg4y7e0dm6h0aa6pfd5k6mshqvlg9 Danielle Foré Let’s say a group of people in my state are dedicated to ~~enacting revolution~~ peacefully protesting.
