    @BradyDale Please don't encourage people to try keybase! Unless they've reformed themselves, they still encourage users who probably don't know better to upload their private keys, which is a HUGE security risk. They're called private keys for a reason.

    It's amazing how much logistical simplicity has been gained by making a Signal group for everyone in my house.

    Well, that was unfun... note to users of Freehold.Earth...the instance is currently down due to an error on upgrade.

    * We are doing our best to fix this quickly.
    * We have backups that are only 30 minutes old, and stored off the server, so a restoration with minimal data loss is possible if needed.
    * We're sorry this is so annoying.

    @awilfox I could care less about the language, it's the disconnect from reality that gets me.

    Getting a fresh grad who knows how to collaborate with other programmers, use issue queues effectively, use git and/or hg effectively, learn a large codebase they didn't write, bisect a problem, understand environmental and resource constraints, and research something to learn it independently...is nearly unheard of.

    @personnealienee In case it wasn't clear, I meant specifically former computer science academics who've never worked in industry, and expect to immediately pull senior developer salaries, despite lacking the commensurate experience and skill.

    @personnealienee I guess my point, if I have one, is that I was already exhausted by the mis-trained youngsters flooding my specialties thanks to academic CS... I'm now hearing from various companies I work with or advise that they get applications from lifelong academics who expect to make more than people with production experience despite having none.

    "But I have a PhD in this!" isn't impressive from someone who needs as much training as a kid straight out of HS but thinks they know it all.

    I didn't know of the statue until I saw the article, but having read it, I hope the statue is removed. I can't stand the cynicism of painting economic success, or the strength of our country, as a threat to girls in order to sell an index fund.

    @stefanieschulte @dredmorbius @lewisnyman I'd love something where I create custom displays filtered on users (or groups of users I've defined), hashtags, and some idea of "channels" which might allow people to e.g. separate personal and professional content, or NSFW content, or whatever.

    I'm thinking a lot about communications channels today, trying to find my best balance between "few interruptions" and "effectively connecting to the events and people I care about".

    IRC definitely makes the cut.
    The fediverse is moving up toward essential, though I still want more meaty content.
    Twitter and LinkedIN are in the "occasional compromise" bin.
    Slack/webchat tolerated only for work.
    Webforums, FB, etc fell off my radar ages ago.

    @sargoth You forgot translation guides for the preferred slang/shorthand language of various social groups not accustomed to talking to one another this much.

    Somehow the conversation about using rice to dry my accidentally-washed headset, and my not having any in the house, got comically misthreaded. :rofl:

    • Hisham

    @hisham_hm I get that...but too often I see people trying to take down others instead of trying to raise everyone up, and it's getting exhausting. The idea that fairness is "no one can have it better than me" instead of working for a world that has opportunity bouncing around everywhere, and a general plurality of safety nets.

    The "checking to see if our outcomes are equal" mentality causes a huge amount of suffering.

    Okay, now that a few friends-of have been notified, please help boost so folks who weren't able to get on maly.io and other free speech Masto instances before they hit capacity know that the awesome https://freehold.earth is now open. :D

      Freehold.Earth is a free-speech centered community, extremely lightly moderated (we'll do what we can about spam and harassment, and possibly some management of the federated public timeline, that's about it...do as you please when communicating with followers!).

    @way I just helped some friends get a free-speech-oriented Masto instance up...how do we go about making it show in http://tooter.today ?

    @drymer for masto instances, the best thing I've found is http://tooter.today which suggests random instances with info on uptime, SSL quality, and culture/CoC.

    I see a lot of complaints about how mastodon is getting press, and the larger fediverse is left out of most stories. I think this is a good time to note that most devs have no training or experience in handling the press, and some compassion is in order.

    At the best of times, it's hard to know what parts of a complex story to focus vs let go of, and what to avoid lest it be distorted or just empty drama in the retelling. Get disengaged, dumb, or combative press and it gets so much harder.

    @kodo @Gargron Most don't, but I make the distinction because I work on life-critical and infrastructure-critical software, am among the rare few who do it right, and it's hard to advocate for my ethics and methods if I don't have a name or archetype to offer people.

    I may have the opportunity to mention Mastodon/Fediverse/OStatus in an interview this afternoon. What's a good link I can give out that will allow visitors to easily choose from a bunch of different nodes to join, instead of directing them at and potentially overloading one node in the Fediverse?

    • Annah

    @maiyannah Yes, it's frustrating as hell. Many of the trans folks in my life avoid trans-focused social things because they don't happen to perfectly toe the accepted political lines, and are thus outsiders who draw a lot of social aggro.

    As someone who's supported more than one person through transition...I wonder how much more informed and better a support person I would be were I not practicing the same avoidance for the same reason.

    @HappyHorseSkull @deadsuperhero I am tired of how monolingual Americans are perceived as elitist snobs. I did pick up American Sign Language and Latin because they were available in my environment (one being silent and the other dead, I'm told they don't count, so I'm still monolingual).

    I'll happily pick up more if you want to deliver, but I can't disrupt my family responsibilities and well-being because my growing up poor and isolated offends some.
