My test account on AWS is called "shitposting," as that's its globally unique account alias.
I also federate into the console via the use of Granted.
Which means that whenever I fire up the web console from my terminal, this is how it launches:
OK, so you know the so-called "source code leak" from Rabbit for the #r1 last week? It wasn't a real leak, but what it showed was different than what I was expecting. So Rabbit Hole, the way you configure your R1 -- it only works on desktops, which I thought was rather odd. And then I went to manage my connection and I figured out why. This whole thing is a fucking VNC session in the web browser served as if it is a modal login

@thisismissem This reminds me how in union organizing we talk about structured organizing conversations. There are a few different formats, but one I like that's easy to remember is AEIOU:
Agitate
Educate
Inoculate
Organize
Unionize
It isn't enough to live in agitation. You _have_ to find ways to direct it and use it to build something else—e.g., class consciousness—or else a) you just have anger and nothing to do with it b) it is _ineffectual_ and _stagnant_ anger, which is toxic.
Once you've "made it", keep the network going. And give back.
Give back to the nonprofit that lifted you up.
Stay in touch with the people who helped you out.
Pay it forward to another person in need.
Don't just disappear once you've "got yours."
Everything is temporary.

Happy International Workers' Day to the entire Proletariat and to tech workers who just got laid off again but still don't think they have any pressing reason to unionise especially.
This is just based off of one interaction between a user and a developer that just happened btw. I’m not trying to like lambast anyone.
Both people just wanna get some translations fixed and the user is clearly keen to help.
But as a developer, when building an internationalised application for languages you don’t speak: you don’t use translation tools. That way leads danger. You get the content from fluent speakers.
And you certainly don’t accept free labour for your private corporation backed application, when Google Translate has failed you, no matter how trivial.

In the interest of pleasing the imaginary person I am always trying to please, I am ADHDing hard and switching halfway between tasks in an effort to complete shit off my to-do list and feel productive. This is ADHD powered by anxiety and deep-seeded childhood trauma.
