I'm finally on estrogen 🎉

[Wheelchair Advice] The rubber on my old wheelchair wheels is finally wearing down. I have been using it as my "indoor" wheelchair for awhile now because its quieter but now there are black streaks all over my floor. The thing is like 4 years old and the breaks are starting to fail on it too […]

Just learnt from @sofiaritz that #Mozilla #Firefox has a translation tool that works locally on "about:translations". Missed that before.

It's always sad to see people you (used to) follow turn into AI boosters...

New Blog: Programming Isn't Special Artists understand that AI is bad for art. Why don’t programmers understand that we are artists? https://blog.glyph.im/2026/10/programming-isnt-special.html

I wish "privilegesplaining" (kind of like "mansplaining") was a term

I'm finally a FOSS contributor

RE: https://tacobelllabs.net/@astraluma/117363654848931561 Digital Ocean killed its "we give Open Source projects a bit of free hosting" policy basically at the same time they droppen 3 millions USD on Omarchy, DHH's (who is a fascist and racist) set of config files he calls a distribution […]

saw someone on HN say they will never contribute to Nura again since we ban LLM generated contributions (they had receipts too, they had contributed in the past) their argument was that having done device porting manually before, doing it with an LLM was something like 10x faster having seen […]

It's insane to me how open source developers have been putting more effort in documenting and "guiding" AI than documenting contributor docs

niri has officially banned AI code contributions and issues, leaving a carve-out for machine translation provided the original text is also presented: github.com/niri-wm/niri/commit/7256ccf6274a1f953c6987ade34ea1c0e4944c27

If you thought the Omarchy Fascist power grab (https://tante.cc/2026/09/11/power-grab/) was over, Alibaba committed another 3 millions to DHH's foundation.

Power grab

Omarchy should not matter. But sadly it does. As a power grab. If you don’t know what Omarchy is here’s the short summary. David Heinemeier Hansson, creator of RubyOnRails, owner of a software business and millionaire, decided a few months ago to go all in on Linux and – because that’s just his MO – […]

[ranty, KDE, DDH, big tech] I swear FOSS discourse has evolved into the same reactionary infighting seen in leftist spaces. It is wild to me, how a bunch of people scream “nazi bar”, when a certain guest speaker in the KDE space brings up Omarchy as a bad example and publicly denounces DDH […]

The "3. Probabilistically Automated" label has been appointed throughout the GNOME/ namespace in the GNOME GitLab, for labeling tickets/issues and code contributions that use an an artificial "intelligence". This new label describes itself as the following: > Major or total reliance on "AI" / […]

Genuine question, does Mastodon allow you to block (as in, not show) posts that don't contain alt text?

RE: https://dragonscave.space/@KaraLG84/117279308406121475 This is why you write text alternatives yourself. Saying “AI will do it” makes blind people reliant on gatekeepers. Imagine if in the US models would think of ICE Agents as “sensitive content”. This tech is not neutral even as it […]

Hey English/composition teachers, instead of teaching your students to write their papers in MLA style, or whatever they do now or outside the US, teach them to write accessible documents, that don't require an unreliable process to remediate afterward.

Has anybody contacted 1Password about funding Omarchy yet? I want to know if/how they responded

Wild idea: be openly racist and transphobic, get money from millionaires, and secretly invest in ethical software

"Omarchy should not matter. But sadly it does. As a power grab." I wrote about why we have to care about Omarchy. As a fascist power grab within the FLOSS ecosystem. https://tante.cc/2026/09/11/power-grab/

When I was doing my "media tour" after DOGE fired me in February 2025, the people interviewing me would always ask what I was worried about DOGE doing with all the data they were gaining access to at federal agencies. I repeatedly warned that fascism requires enemies to survive, and trans people […]

In case you're not aware, there is a fork of Nitter, the superior frontend to Twitter, called Shitter (awesome name) which is hosted on Codeberg. The repository also contains a list of instances: https://codeberg.org/mv12star/shitter/wiki/Instances Finally, it contains boilerplates for […]

Yo, I'm heading up a brand-new community project. 👥 We write code by hand. 🤚🏽⌨️ It's a growing opt-in directory of software developers who write code by hand. When you hear someone tell you “nobody does that” you can point to this and say “well these folks […] [Original post on indieweb.social]
