Was attempting to make a dent on the hundreds of open tabs on my iPad and found one open to Kind Cotton. Donât know who must have pointed me to it, but I decided I need a few new shirts (including one mystery shirt). And every purchase provides a book to a child. đ„°

I woke up to a comment so smug, so perfectly soaked in gatekeeping and faux-righteous posturing, it earned its own blog post. You want freedom? You want GNU/Linux to mean something? Then maybe start by not telling disabled users to go fuck themselves with a smile. This commenter thought they were defending "software freedom." What they were really doing was kicking people out of the room. Dismissing accessibility. Mocking effort. Pretending that cruelty is some kind of rite of passage. They quoted Stallman like it was scripture, ignored real-world experience like it was noise, and wrapped it all in condescension dressed as virtue. Iâve spent over a decade in this ecosystem. Writing patches. Rebuilding broken stacks. Helping blind users boot systems upstream doesnât even test. I didnât "just install Arch and whine about the terminal." I lived in it. I survived it. I held it together when maintainers disappeared and no one else gave a damn. But apparently, because I didnât call it GNU/Linuxâą and because I dared to talk about how this OS chews people up and spits them out, Iâm lazy. Iâm weak. I should "get a dog." So I wrote a response. Line by line. No mercy. No euphemisms. This isnât just about one comment. This is about every time someoneâs been told they donât belong because they couldnât learn fast enough, code well enough, or survive long enough. Itâs about everyone who was pushed out while the gatekeepers patted themselves on the back for "preserving the spirit of free software." You want a free system? Start by making it livable. Because freedom that demands you crawl bleeding through a broken bootloader isnât freedom. Itâs abandonment dressed in ideology. And if this kind of gatekeeping is your idea of community? You can keep it. https://fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/you-dont-own-the-word-freedom-a-full-burn-response-to-the-gnulinux-comment-that-tried-to-gatekeep-me-off-my-own-machine/ #Linux #GNU #FOSS #Accessibility #BlindTech #FreeSoftware #Gatekeeping #DisabilityInTech #OpenSource #Orca #ScreenReaders #ArchLinux #BurnItDown #blogpost

[witchzard]"Not all men," he casually argues, tossing a chocolate into his mouth.
She doesn't blink. Instead, her fingers curl around the box of chocolates between them, and she smiles. "Okay. But if I take this box of chocolates, poison one in front of you, shake the box, and offer you one", she raises an eyebrow, "would you take it?"
The chocolate in his mouth suddenly feels too thick, too sweet. A disbelieving laugh escapes him. "Good lord, you are crazy."
"Oh no no, I'm not crazy," she says trying to fight the smirk at his reaction. "I'm just working with the numbers. When one in four is poisoned, you check every piece."

Associated PressBassist Carol Kaye tells AP she's declining Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, 'Permanently'

Carol Kaye is permanently declining Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction
Legendary bassist Carol Kaye says she wants no part of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Kaye says in an email to The Associated Press on Friday that she has declined her induction, permanently. Kaye was a prolific and admired bassist who played on 1960s hits including the Beach Boys' âGood Vibrationsâ and the Monkees' âI'm a Believer.â She was chosen earlier this year to be among the inductees who enter the Hall in November. Kaye's comments to the AP came two days after a since-deleted Facebook post saying she wouldn't attend the ceremony. The Hall of Fame had no immediate comment.
