Ageless #Linux — Software for Humans of Indeterminate Age
We don't know how old you are. We don't want to know. We are legally required to ask. We won't.

The recent California law regarding age verification for operating system installs makes me think about my early teen years installing #Gentoo #Linux from stage 1 tarballs and boot strapping the whole OS. At what point during that process should I have put my age in? Is it during kernel config? Is it extracting the initial stage 1? Is it chrooting into that base? Installing grub?
Maybe we need to go back to a big wiki of install steps?
GlyphI really cannot stress this enough. When I visited France, I visited a building where I read an entry in a log book where a Nazi recorded my great-grandmother's death in the camps. The name of this building was the "Musée de la Résistance et de la *Déportation*". It was not the "museum of the death camps" because they don't _call_ them death camps. While it's happening, they call it "deportations". The name "death camps" shows up once the occupying army is rolling their tanks into your capital.

There are different ways to say the same things. And it's fine to repeat the same thing over in different ways.
Because some people understand better one way, and others another way.
We need a large diversity of voices bringing the same messages to fight for human rights. Never hesitate to add yours to the battle! Every voice helps! 💚✊
Mitchell Hashimotolibghostty can now encode terminal contents as HTML. On the left is an example program that reads stdin, loads it in a terminal, and encodes to HTML. On the right, an example of `fastfetch` encoded to the browser. Coming soon to Ghostty clipboard ops automatically.
Snake-oil AI systems are starting to make a joke of the presumption of innocence.
It should be illegal to implement an automated system that regularly incriminates innocents. This comes with sometimes severe consequences and trauma for the people wrongly flagged.
If we do not push back against this,
we are going to lose this right (yes, worse than it is now I mean).
ShantiniI think a lot of us are feeling hopeless and angry these days. We raise our fists and voices to cry out against the injustice. Then we hang our heads in grief as we realize how little effect we seem to have.
Maybe if we could just turn it off and on again we could come back up to a society that sees the humanity of everyone and seeks to build a world where we could all live in peace.
I'm trying to find ways to be hopeful and believe that the world can be a better place. There are so many ways in which everything seems to be falling apart. The tech space is filled with hacks, data leaks, privacy violations, and government trying to legislate back doors. The USA seems to be trying to speed run to a fascist dictatorship.
There are pockets of people that I find in my local community that give me hope. I know there are many online that want to see the same change I hope for. 🧵
