Hiding your face isn’t having privacy. Living in a society where you don’t have to hide your face is having privacy.

Usually "unlimited holiday" is a red flag This year I'll have taken a total of 41 days of holiday (including the legally required minimum of 28 days here in the UK) It's nice to be able to actually use extra without being made to feel guilty or have it dangled like a carrot but never given

I know what to do with all this anger. If I couldn't turn anger into action, I'd be in a different line of work. But I don't know what to do with all this grief for the things that I wanted to do and to build in the next few years that will never happen now.

“Wow Bluesky is getting popular! You should sign up!” “Interesting. Who are all the new users?” “People who stayed on X for 2 years” (-_-)

Our Thor-shaped gay neighbor going out of his way to check in on our two-small-queer-women household every single day is the thread keeping me going right now Never fucking apologizing for living where we're safe again, and that goes for online spaces too

My middle name is Monica, I’m named after an Argentinian sex worker who helped my father escape when it became known the police were looking for him. He was studying medicine and was secretly an errand boy for an underground newspaper. By the time it was clear he had to leave, he had no options left. I don’t know anything about her except that I wouldn’t be here if she hadn’t helped him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_War https://social.vivaldi.net/@Patricia/113462674712847803

oh, I see, so it’s fine when SummoningSalt posts a video about a hotly-contested game speedrun, but when *I’m* the one getting beaten repeatedly for fun suddenly that’s “violating YouTube’s community guidelines”?

Attached: 1 image Block which renamed itself from Square to rebrand itself as a blockchain platform is winding down its blockchain platform efforts. It’s now clear that there is little value in blockchains and crypto as a technology platform.

I'm not going to lie - I've always wanted darker, more troubling Lego sets that explore the less pleasant sides of humanity. Red Light districts, military stuff, disaster sets, and so on. The world isn't all sunshine and rainbows, and I wish Lego would sometimes reflect that. Wild that AliExpress comes to the fucking rescue.

Banning or not banning Working from Home is so indicative of the black and white days we are living in. Working from Home is great for some, awful for some and Working from Office is great for some, awful for some. As with everything: Don’t outright ban or require it. Make **mindful decisions** that’s perceptive to the needs of your employees and which makes them perform optimally both individually and collectively 🙏

@Edent@mastodon.social If there is a session you really want to see, possibly go to the session before it so you can get a seat. Be careful with backpacks in the corridors, turn with care. On the Friday night, Delirium is very much the place to be. For those that drink alcohol, Delirium Tremens is a really nice 8% ale. (Happy to be corrected) I think it is the number 75 bus that gets you from the city centre to the university.

I have been incredibly organised and booked my #FOSDEM travel and hotel. My first time going (!) so grateful for any tips, advice, warnings, memes, in-jokes, and suggestions from regular attendees.
