Frage an die Chaos-Sticker-Bubble: wie steht ihr zu Stickeralben? Besitzt ihr welche? So 90erStyle.
Bin am überlegen, mir mal wieder eins zuzulegen.
Gibt es chaosmäßige Stickeralben zu erwerben? Hat die @Cyberrolle dazu schonmal was gemacht?

I am at a serious loss for words and yet I need to write something. A #eulogy, maybe.

Yesterday evening, here on Fedi, I read a #suicide note by @Crimekillz , my first girlfriend of eight years and one of my closest friends and soul mates for most of our lives.

This morning, I learned from her family that she had indeed passed away yesterday night after purposefully overdosing on medication near her home. As if for her, it started snowing here for the first time this winter just now.

I hardly know what to write at this moment, I'm sorry.

This appears as an immediate consequence of her being bullied at #39C3, but it follows a life of serious tragedy and hardships. Autism, ADHD, schizophrenia, DID; a broken home, child abuse, bullying, exclusion. Tons of unhealed trauma, and myriads of complex and contradictory personalities stacked on top of each other.

She was all that and one of the most wonderful and interesting people I ever met. She was the most important person in my life for most of my existence.

I met Jenny on the German Minecraft forums when I was 13 and she was a couple of years older than me. She was my first and only best friend. She made me realise I was queer, she was the first person I ever loved. We started dating on the 1st of March of 2015, and we were together for almost eight years. We went through the teenage years, through both our transitions, our political socialisation, our earliest life stages and experiences. We eventually moved and lived together as what we used to describe as soul mates. We wanted to build a family.

I can not overstate the absolute integral role she has played in my life, my self-discovery and journey in my identity, my teenage years and early adulthood.

While eventually we drifted apart due to different social circles and an unfortunate third-roommate situation making us move to separate apartments, we split up amicably and kept in regular contact til the very end.

Jenny was one of the most wonderful and interesting people I knew. There was no other person in my life I have had this deep of a connection to as her.

There is absolutely nothing I could write here that could possibly do her justice in any way, or all the moments we've shared together.

She was a complex person of many contradictions. She was a lifelong rebel, and a fragile, deeply vulnerable soul at heart. She was an anarchist and a nonconformist, a furry and therian, a philosopher, an agender woman, a great girlfriend and someone who would have found it rad to be called a gender terrorist, a punk and a psychonaut, a queer bean, a kind soul, a hacker and cybercriminal in the best possible sense.

I would like to extend my sincerest condolences to everyone else who knew her and most importabtly, did not contribute to her passing away.

I would like to extend a hearty fuck-you to the people in the #Chaosbubble who stood by willingly as she was excluded and bullied; to her abusers; to the enablers. To the people who gave not a single damn about her feelings, who pressured her into a life of overstimulation and constant restlessness, who excluded her for superficial reasons, who abused therapy speech and called her "problematic" for being who she was.

May she be dearly missed, and rest in power.

To quote her last public words:
"There is beauty in darkness, I want my funeral to be a celebration, make it a rave. Maybe Luna has time to DJ."

Unpopular opinion but the whole hacker subculture is way less fun now that it's so oversized.

For high-profile events like GPN or the CCC congress, it's basically impossible to get accommodation or tickets anymore, unless you either are rich, or basically spend all day in the subculture so you have plenty of friends to find loopholes, gift away tickets or smuggle you in.

From what I've been told it's also simply not nice anymore. Utterly overcrowded, loud, sanitised, professionalised and policed to a fault.

And since nearly all of those events have a little exclusive organiser clique that seems unwilling to tackle these issues, and that responds to every piece of criticism with "well we're all unpaid volunteers, fuck you", it doesn't look like it's about to change.

In my opinion there's only one way to go forward:

You need to clearly separate the two main groups of attendants: those actually interested in cybersec, IT, hacking and tech, from the people who only attend for the subculture. Of course it's overcrowding massively if a significant portion of the audience is just transfem polycules who have nothing to do with tech, don't bring any projects, don't attend any talks and basically just want to socialise, hang out and fuck.

And secondly, we should encourage more frequent, local events to decentralise the subculture, spread out attendance and reduce dependency on huge megaevents. This only works if people volunteer, and that's a rarity – sure – but why not help new folks get there? Host workshops on how to organise your own event, how to find a venue, how to fundraise, how to legally serve food and drinks, and so on.

If this is not addressed, it's going to basically either become a mainstream alt festival with a tech aesthetic, or a sanitised industry congress only rich techbros can attend.

#accessibility #chaosbubble Rechtliche Frage: Wenn eine Stadt eine App als zentralen Kommunikationsweg für ihre Kitas einkauft und etablieren will, muß diese App dann den Anforderungen nach BFSG genügen oder ist die aus irgendwelchen Gründen ausgenommen?

Frage für ein Dumpster Fire auf meinem Telefon …

K2 macht Mathe-Hausaufgaben: "Gewürfelt wird mit zwei Würfeln, die zusammengezählt werden. Jeder Spieler darf sich zwei Summen wählen, die für ihn einen Punkt bringen. Welche wählst Du und warum?"
K2: "6 und 7. 7 weil es die meisten Kombinationen gibt; 6 weil es die zweitmeisten Kombinationen gibt - und weil 6*7 42 ist"

Ich seh' schon, die Sozialisierung mit dem "Anhalter" fruchtet 😆

Hallo #chaosbubble,

[edit: Mir wird von einem lieben Wesen eine neue Tasse überlassen 🥰 Danke fürs Teilen]

mir ist heute beim Aufräumen meine geliebte GPN21 Tasse runtergefallen 😭
Gibt es ein Wesen, dessen Tasse nur im Schrank verstaubt oder so, das bereit wäre mir die Tasse gegen Versandkosten und eine kleine Spende zu überlassen? 🥺

Ihr würdet mich sehr glücklich machen!!

Come to #mrmcd they said, it'll be fun they said.

What actually happened is that I received this gift as a not so subtle nudge to consider whether I might be #trans.
I was told I have 3 years to decide.

Another person nearby overhears this and throws me a blister of blockers :'D

I love this community <3
