@timberwraith Tbh if someone has a very rigid idea about feminism, it’s safe to just steer clear of them
@farah That has been my experience too.
@farah She's "quirky" that's for sure.

funny how the list of admonitions to anyone replying sounds like they're trying to prompt an LLM https://chaosfem.tw/@Athena/116578993491995353
@smilingdemon @JenJen Good point about the camera.
One can make it work, but it is a pain (or was, last time I tried).
Far easier to use a cheap external webcam.
Come work with me! We're looking for an Open Access Manager to work alongside me (Research Data Manager) in leading the research services function in the University of Warwick Library and Archives. It's a great team, recently up to full strength and with excellent support from library leadership, and you would join our Senior Management Team, a really friendly and collaborative group from across the library.

@aram so much new free time has been opened up to all who participated.
Wer hunderte Behördenstellen nach Regierungsübernahme „neu besetzen“ will, stellt die Gesetzestreue unserer Beamtinnen und Beamten pauschal infrage.
Der öffentliche Dienst dient dem Staat und dem Recht – nicht einer Partei. Wer ihn politisch durchsortieren will, greift den Rechtsstaat an.
Das ist keine „Reform“. Das ist ein autoritärer Machtanspruch der #AfD. #Sachsenanhalt
@arnesemsrott hat dem 2024 in "Machtübernahme" (Droemer) einige Kapitel gewidmet. Mit Anleitung zum Widerstand in vielerlei möglichen Konstellationen. Ich finde das ein sehr aktuelles und empfehlenswertes Buch - und die Frage, was kann in meinem Umfeld passieren und was kann/will ich dann tun, sollte sich wirklich langsam jede:r mal stellen, auch unabhängig von dem Buch.
Und natürlich ist das Vorhaben der #noAfd wieder ein weiteres Argument für ein #Pruef Verfahren!
Edit: gegendert.
What if we made the whole computer out of Attack Surface?

“The distinction between surface and depth was a lie told by people who have never owned a really good pair of boots.”
We made a comic about a mayfly.
We just released Bonfire Social 1.0.3 🔥
Blog post with all the details: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bo...
It comes with dozens of bug fixes and UX improvements, plus:
- Federated comments embeddable on any web page.
- Deep Ghost integration: SSO, membership tier sync, and automatic article import.
- New dashboard widgets: spotlight, polls closing soon, top discussions.
-
#CalmEmpowerment: a new design pattern that starts with a few sensible defaults, offers a middle layer of common adjustments, and reveals the full options only when you need them. Boundaries and post permissions got this treatment first, more to follow...
-
Modular community rules: a first step in bringing research and co-design with students and researchers at @hci@micro.blogs.princeton.edu into Bonfire, so governance becomes something communities can better define and share, and that others can fork and adapt.
Every time #Signal says that they will pull out of a country if some law is passed, they remind everyone that they are a single point of failure. How many times have you ever heard that email will pull out of a country if some surveillance law is passed?
EDIT: Yes, of course this has the usual flurry of people saying 'Don't like Signal? Use {thing that is worse than Signal and no one who cares about security takes seriously}'. Please just stop. I am using Signal because I have evaluated alternatives and Signal is the least bad. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop criticising it and it doesn't mean I'm going to use something worse.
@david_chisnall Bear in mind that threatening to pull out is a way to get the attention of *people in government*, who increasingly use Signal for their own comms
In April 1994 I started working on the Opera browser with Geir Iversøy, my co-founder. I worked at Opera for 17 years, leaving it after disagreeing with investors about the way forward. Two years later I co-founded @Vivaldi with Tatsuki Tomita and Anne Stavnes. This was in 2013.
For more than 30 years we have provided alternatives to Big Tech. First with Opera and now with Vivaldi. The focus has always been quite different from our competitors. More features, more privacy, more flexibility. Lately it has also meant the choice to avoid things like Crypto and Blockchain, avoid integrating AI and avoid integrating surveillance. This is not given. Most of our competitors are building in one or more of the above.
If you like what we are doing and our stand, feel free to download Vivaldi. If you are already with us, please tell your friends.

Well done. The #ACL removed ("desk rejected") over 100 accepted papers from the #ACL2026 program and proceedings that contained citations to non-existing literature:
"The inclusion of these non-existent references is a clear violation of the ACL Policy on Publication Ethics."
