If there's one thing that's more and more clear to me over the course of my career is how much of developer culture is dedicated to making ourselves complicit in our own exploitation. Witness the absolute mindless doublespeak that passes for engagement on LinkedIn.

My experience as a union organiser: there are only two classes, the labor class and the capitalist class. The blue-collar/white-collar distinction is a created one to sow division between workers.

If you trade labor for wages, you are working class. Whether that is coding or factory line assembly. And management doesn't view you as differently as they want you to view yourself.

Today, I learned that diversity, equality and inclusivity is apparently a bad thing, and will kill a project? (From the comments under my latest news talking about ’s 5 year plan).

So, wanting people to feel comfortable contributing to a project is bad and woke now? Serisouly, what do they put in these people’s water? They’re going insane.

Honestly, Nick, I've had to stop reading the comments in your videos, and just engage with you here on the wooly mammoth. YT comments in general have always been awful, but they seem to have hit a new low recently.

To the topic at hand, Linux has always had a blind spot when it comes to DEI officially, but it has always had a diverse group of users, at least since I started using in around 97-98.

All countries should adopt the Danish outlet as the true international standard.

My evidence is strong:

It's really sad that music has been dead for decades because of all that home taping we did. I really miss music. We should have listened to the recording industry. We'd still have music today if we did.

Re-watching Star Trek: Enterprise given the references to it in Strange New Worlds and it is honestly better than I remember.

One thing I really like is how arrogant and duplicitous the Vulcans are portrayed. Between TOS and VOY, Vulcans are largely portrayed positively, their claimed enlightenment taken at their word.

Not so in Enterprise. It also explains some of the attitude that Spock faces in TOS, particularly from McCoy.

I genuinely recommend Crime Pays, But Botany Doesn't.

There's just something incredibly soothing about his overt working class accent and lexicon, fundamentally challenging the nature of academic and scientific community tropes.

Today at work, I foolishly clicked the “try new Outlook” button, hoping for a new version less shitty than the old version.

After it installed, it DEMANDED I copy emails to the Microsoft cloud, which violates our data protection policies. No option for local only as far as I could tell.

Luckily I was just able to remove it and go back to the old version with having to contact IT ☺️

New version of Outlook, new version of Teams, they suck. Not that I like the older versions, but they suck... less.

I once made the mistake of answering "なし" when customs asked me if I had anything to declare. The look on the agent's face. And then I had to say, no, no, I mean nothing to declare, nothing special, only normal clothes and personal devices and stuff. And then we both had a good laugh. Sitcom material.

Translator for an agency that I have been working with seems to be using some sort of non-MS word processing software. I get the preference for open source stuff, but there is a reason why Word is the standard for this sort of thing...

Whatever they use randomly spits out extra spaces and protected content fields. This breaks the format throughout the document. Initially, I had thought that the client had been protecting certain phrases... but it was not the case.

There are a few other opensource office suites, but LibreOffice seems to be the most widely used and supported. I'd drop Office 365 in a heartbeat if it wasn't necessary for my job.

For personal stuff though, that's what I use on my MacBook Pro, since it runs my special blend Linux Mint XFCE.

So... 90% of PR holders DO pay their taxes and social insurance?

I bet 90% of Japanese citizens don't. I bet it's a lower percentage.

Almost like if you want PR in Japan, you're probably pretty reliable.
