I cannot get this updated US risk map out of my mind.
In the last 6 months, half the US states have escalated anti-LGBTQ legislation to such a point that many—especially trans people—are in active danger. Florida has been designated a “don’t travel” state by Equality Florida. The NAACP also issued a no travel warning to FL for overlapping reasons, including the erasure of Black history.
This piece by Erin Reed details the information found in the maps: https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/may-anti-trans-legislative-risk-map
One of the fun bits of using #STT as one of my main input methods is that I need to pronounce stuff weird sometimes to get it to understand me when similar sounding words are involved.
For example, I need to pronounce "git" like "jit" so it doesn't mistake it for "gift".
Honestly English isn't a great language for this use case. :P
Still need to find time to add code for dictating the NATO phonetic alphabet for more fine grained control.

PSA, if someone asks you for contact info (e.g. a phone number) of someone you know, the correct response is "I can't give that to you, but I can give them yours".
It's efficient and adds no round-trips, it's privacy friendly, it's non-awkward and it's social engineering resistant. It's a universally good rule.
And the corollary, of course: Don't ask someone for another person's contact info - ask them to pass on yours.
I really do want to use my library's resources but their ebook borrowing requires an app that's not available on web or linux in order to support the adobe DRM crap.
honestly easier to borrow a physical book and then get a digital copy elsewhere. 😅
It's probably easier if you're not a weirdo hacker type.
I think I'm I just need to spend some time to set up my keyboard bindings the way I did for nano
Cops operate as a standing army of thugs for local capitalists.
This is obvious to almost anyone who has taken or witnessed direct action to make the world better. (Taking "action to make the world better" includes, my current constant reference point, making a home for yourself on unused land.)
Cops, who infamously do nothing but collect overtime, assemble like an army to beat back any progress.
This may happen very rarely but it is their primary purpose.

Open source developers: please actually use your code host’s “releases” feature. It substantially raises visibility of your releases, lets downstreams use better tooling, and makes it less of a guessing game when trying to find versions.
Just tagging releases is the next best, but it’s a worse experience for everyone else. Not ever tagging/making releases is the *worst* possible thing you can do, and signals to other projects that you don’t care about stability or collaboration.
Pretty excited on the #ActivityPub work we're doing in https://distributed.press
Our project manager @mai had some good points after a meeting:
"Love that we decided to go with ActivityPub over Web Mentions as it allows us to meet communities where they already are."
