I like to build simple, secure and resilient information systems to empower and connect people. I believe that this is best done with Free Software, open data standards, open protocols, and restrained craftsmanship.

I am happiest when I get to do this work with those fighting fascism, ethnic-cleaning, genocide and protecting our environment.

To make a living, I provide consulting and coaching services for software, data, and security engineering.

@hell Emacs is where I spend the majority of my time, never quantified.

- dired is brilliant for file management
- magit for all your Git needs
- mastodon.el for mastodon

Useful communities...

- Follow #emacs tab on Mastodon (use advanced queue and add a column for it)
- EmacsStackexchange is a wealth of knowledge
- /r/emacs is useful
- @sacha newsletter
- Blogs! Too many to list (& my RSS server is currently down)

Sure, #nokings, but I don’t want democratic imperialism, or a democratic globe eating
consumerism either.

Audre Lorde's "master's tools" speech was not about tech platforms. So why does tech discourse keep citing it as if it were? I write about what happens when a Black feminist theorist's words get borrowed, stripped of context, and made to do work they were never meant to do.

I did a thing...

Tired of bloated JVM with other IdPs...I found Rauthy (https://github.com/sebadob/rauthy) and wanted it in #OpenBSD ports.

Not sure if I've done this correctly...but "works on my machine" : https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=177422071513450&w=2

@metalisp Why?

It seems to me, on the contrary, that #Lisp is in as good health as I have seen it any time these past fifty years. #Clojure is booming, and sprouting offshoots like #Scittle and Jank; Emacs Lisp and Scheme are still widely used; and there are lots of people playing with new, experimental Lisps. Common Lisp, even, seems particularly favoured by arts programmers.

It all looks pretty vibrant.

Bernie Sanders just created a video to make a point about issues of privacy in AI (a real problem). His supporters on Muskrat's platform came for me when I quote tweeted his post saying, "at this point, Bernie’s job seems to be lobbying for Anthropic."

So I'm going to elaborate on the corporate psyop that has been happening since the beginning of time and how no one seems to learn their lesson.

Think I managed to rip out all the remaining slop from SBCL's 2.6.2 release. Builds on Linux x86-64 so seems fine for me™. Probably going to use this personal fork for the foreseeable future. Might try to update it to future releases but depends on the complexity and amount of slop.

I have seen many people announcing that they will no longer *consume* the output of a free software project, because they deviate from their ideological take on AI or some other threat. Often, but not always, it's based on partial information, and is reactionary.

Before you do this, please consider the following:

- The community is those doing the work together.

- Prioritizing your consumption, over those showing up with work to share, is selfish.

- Performative object choice as a consumer of gifts while chastising those who give them, is not defending community.

Respect those doing the work.

I can assure you that no rationalization for being a reactionary twat will change these facts.

It is 222 A.D. You are the transgender Empress Elagabalus, "call me not a man for I am a woman". Transitioning is new and experimental.

It is 1776. You are "Public Universal Friend", a transmasculine nonbinary Quaker. Transitioning is new and experimental.

It is 1906. You are Karl M. Baer, a trans man undergoing sex reassignment. Transitioning is new and experimental.

It is 1930. You are Lili Elbe. Transitioning is new and experimental. (to be fair you did get a uterus transplant.)

It is 1966. You are in Compton's Cafeteria with a bunch of other trans people when the owners call the cops to throw you all out. You riot. Transitioning is new and experimental.

It is 1969. You are Marsha "pay it no mind" Johnson. You are in a mob-run gay bar when the cops attack. You throw a brick. There is a bit of a scuffle. Transitioning is new and experimental.

It is 2026. You are a transgender adult or child listening to the NYT and British Guardian claim this is the first generation anyone has tried transitioning in. Transitioning is new and experimental.
