I once worked with goats. I moved into tech.This was a mistake. Expect sheep, wool, and textile history. Also birbs. Infosec on occasion. I use content warnings for topics and images that can trigger PTSD. I do not use them to shield people without trauma from experiencing racism, sexism, transphobia, and other forms of discrimination. If you can ignore politics, you’re not likely in need of content warnings for much of anything, really.

Before you select Linux, spend a day trying to get simple tasks done without a mouse.
Try Linux with speech to text.
Try Linux with a screen reader.

Frustrated? Either pick up some issues from an open source accessibility project or give them money.

...and stop being an ass to disabled people.

Oh sorry, GNU/ass

Someone on social media:
unpaid labor is not actually free, so if you require volunteer work to take part enjoy projects with code from mostly white dudes

aforementioned dudes: OH I GUESS WE ARE BARTERING GOATS FOR GRAPHICS CARDS NOW GOOD LUCK WITH THAT

No dehumanizing language for anyone.
No matter how bad things get, human rights are universal.
That is the whole point.

But what about…? No. Freedom for every person is the path to peace. No matter which “side” you are on. Security based on war crimes is no security at all.

The saddest thing about meeting other high-profile women and enbys in infosec is the part where you compare your lists of stalkers and chronic harassers.

@evacide This is why I need an emotional support murder of crows.

If you interpret “I want freedom” as “death to you”,
that is on you.

All people in occupied territories must have their human rights restored. That is the opposite of a call for fascism.

If you think students who want universal human rights are scary,
but count as allies people who want to hasten the end times so that everyone like you must chose to convert to their religion or face damnation,
you might have lost track of the plot
a bit.

Bears don't try to convince you that blockchains are useful.

Bears will not tell you that keto will cure everything.

You can hate the leaders of an open source project with the fire of a thousand suns and still not want to fork the tech.

Hypothetically of course. How would I know this personally?

You can gather some friends, light some candles, and call on the ancestors to whisper through the ether to every goose on the mortal plane about their new sworn enemies, the leaders of an open source project,

and still not want to fork the project.

There are useful projects run by people who are overpaid moral voids, but as long as there are enough contributors who can look at the actual features of the tech and spot harmful code, the software will remain useful.

Use your voice to demand contributor codes of conduct and equitable distribution of any funds used to pay contributors.

Demand accessibility.

Throw out Nazis.

Toss the creeps, the racists, the people who take credit for someone else’s work, and

NO GODDAMNED ROCKSTARS.
