We are living in an age of denial. Denial of a genocide. Denial of an ongoing pandemic. Denial of a climate crisis.

Acknowledging reality is an act of rebellion.

One thing I've finally let set in since the conference this week: everyone I know in tech is burnt out and the culture of tech is rancid right now.

Can I propose that we refer to purposefully poisoning AI data as "fucksmith"ing?

I know pride doesn’t start until next week but maybe we surprise them by being super queer this weekend

thelinuxEXP, 6 days ago to linux

I'm doing another one of my little surveys, this time to see which parts of using #Linux on the desktop are the most problematic, and the various issues people are having.

I'll make a video on these results next week, and depending on the answers, maybe I'll make more videos on specific issues, either to explain these topics, or to see how we could improve.

So, here is the form, feel free to fill it out and share it around, so we have as many answers as possible!

Not linking directly because I don't want to shit on projects I believe are genuinely trying to make the web better, but every time I see a post about "the small web" or a more "humane" web or whatever that includes phrases like this about content: "created without the motivation of financial gain" I sigh so deeply lol

I am begging ethical web enthusiasts to understand what an extreme privilege it is to spend time working on something without worrying about money

For Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we want to recognize the work being done on accessibility by @matt as part of the @gnome Foundation. He is the lead for @accesskit and is currently working on Newton, a Wayland-oriented solution for assistive technologies that can modernize accessibility on the Linux desktop!

To follow up on the post from @fedora that I just boosted (https://fosstodon.org/@fedora/112450335722898487), I'd like to thank @sovtechfund for funding my work on @gnome accessibility, and acknowledge that they're also funding other, more immediate work on GNOME accessibility, including the Spiel speech framework (https://project-spiel.org/) and a variety of improvements to the Orca screen reader. My project might be getting the most attention, but it's not the only important work happening in this area.

It’s Global Accessibility Awareness Day! We’ve been striving to build accessible experiences in elementary OS for quite some time now with features like an audio prompt in the installer and desktop filters to assist folks with color deficiencies. We surface accessibility features next to every other feature as part of our curb cuts initiative and we’re always listening for ways we can do more 🩷 #GAAD

Your regular reminder that all cryptocurrencies are a pyramid scheme scam, and that anyone encouraging others to get involved is doing so because they need new people to come in at the bottom to keep the whole pyramid propped up.

2024: OpenAI releases a free virtual assistant with a weirdly flirty voice.

2025: Millions of men become emotionally attached to the AI.

2026: OpenAI threatens to delete your virtual girlfriend if you don't pay a monthly subscription. You must also buy her digital flowers or she will hate you.

Society: You must cover your genitals at all times but wear clothes that represent your genitals because while you’re not supposed to think about other people’s genitals I get very uncomfortable when I can’t tell what genitals other people have.

…

Genitals.

Parting shot: you wanna know an incredibly cheap way you can create a tiny bit of change in the world, right now, by the time you finish reading this post?

Tell someone on the internet, someone whose free makings improve your life, that this is so.

Makers, the world over, need money, for sure. But first they need juice, and every time you tell a maker that they have added value to your life, you supercharge them to keep on making.

Try it!

You'll see.

Now I'll slam this shot and go to bed.

For my birthday, I'd really like it if my beloved fedi could spread word far and wide of Kitsune Tails. It's a platformer with a heartwarming story featuring queer main characters and personal discoveries in classic SMB3 style. You can find trailer, screenshots, and wishlist links here: https://kitsunegames.com/kitsunetails

It's coming out this year and the team and I have been working hard on it for several years now. Most of the team is queer in some form so by boosting you'd not only be making me happy on my birthday, but supporting a bunch of queer creators making queer art as well

yuzu kitsune tails, a purple haired fox girl, picks up samurai armor in a tower that's rapidly filling with lava. she jumps away from the rising lava and sticks her spear in the wall, doing a dashing twirl to get on top of it. she walks off the spear and into a new scene, fighting a ghost fox with armor and spear. it stabs and she jumps over, but is caught by a follow up stab. the ghost fox over extends and its ghostly powers wane, giving yuzu a chance to bop on its head

garrett, 18 days ago to Eurovision

Because of everyone boycotting #Eurovision, Israel is going on to the finals. And if everyone who's boycotting Eurovision already just keeps boycotting and not voting for anyone other than Israel, there's a huge chance they could even win.

(Almost 40% of the votes from Italy went to Israel. No other country got near as much. Israel's act wasn't the worst, but it also wasn't close to the best. It might've been similar from other countries. We don't know yet.)

My boss and I were talking more about how to convince vendors to care about uploading firmware for their devices.

Another suggestion is something like https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/pull/7219 -- to allow us to collect data to say to the vendor '12,345 Linux users are not getting firmware updates for model ABC' which is a bit more convincing than throwing our hands in the air and mumbling about Linux market-share.
