Dear Fedi friends, may I ask you a favor?

I would really appreciate it if you could boost this message. I have created a French version of my Fedi promo video - and a French landing page – that I hope can spread far and wide in the Francophone world:

My first paid software development job was on accessibility software. I remember visiting a user to help set up our code, and the sheer joy he had at being able to communicate more quickly than he had been able to for years.

Seeing the effort put into improving modern Linux accessibility is heartwarming. There's been almost 20 years of almost nobody caring. It's important. It's worthwhile.

Say thank you to the people doing that work. Stop amplifying the people saying that work isn't happening.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d much rather have an entire undocumented immigrant family with two happy trans kids living right next door to me than a white supremacist or a racist MAGA lunatic any day of the week.
Today's random art advice no one asked for: If you don't give a shit about your work, no one else has a reason to either. Whether you choose to acknowledge it or not, your joy, enthusiasm, passion, etc...are reflected in the work you do. So quit that defeatist self-loathing bullshit.

Dear #GitHub, when I click on a link to an English language documentation page, I don't want to be automatically redirected to a machine generated German translation.

Yes, I have both enabled in my browser. Multi-lingual people are a thing. If I want a translation, I'll explicitly ask for it.

Every site whose product owner/manager insists on automatic translation should immediately fire them.

@stux I look at my printer in it’s isolated network, with a hammer at the ready, to smash it to bits if it does anything abnormal. As an IT guy working in the security sector - I don’t trust technology one bit.

Everything in the wider world is terrible and too much but the sun is shining, the smartest and kindest people I know are working hard to do the right thing and hope persists in this undeserving world.

I hate that my mind went right there too.

It should be illegal to co-opt an actual letter of the alphabet for a goddamn brand name.

Listen up Mastodonians, because this is important:

Right now we have a unique chance to rise up and hit back against Zuckerberg and Musk. Because italian filmmaker @_elena and her friends have made an OUTSTANDING short film, which explains why people should quit the fascist social networks and come join us in the fediverse.

Hit the fascists where it hurts — make this go viral by watching it and liking it on YouTube, then hit the share button and share it everywhere!
