If you don't understand how #fediblock is used to victimize trans people, here's a clear example of it: you see any trans woman who's a little bit uppity that it is used for transmisoginy, you just call for that bitch to be put back in her place on completely fabricated premises.

Obviously, nobody who takes a minute to read my posts will reach the conclusion my attitude is any less than friendly.
But it doesn't matter: the audience of such posts are people who will never take a minute to check out my instance. Such reports provide them with plausible deniability to block trans people who are a bit too colorful and don't play along with predatory social mechanic.

Protesting injustice where it happens — in this instance, in the hashtag used to make it happen — is the proper avenue to protest.

@falktx @prokoudine @GIMP
GIMP 3.0.2 (might be another version if we have urgent bugs to fix or whatever after 3.0.0) should have link layers too. I.e. linking an external image as a layer in GIMP. Link layers can be used e.g. when you want to share an image across several artworks, or if you want to edit the image in an external software. To stay in the vector world, you could load an external SVG file as a link layer, keep editing it in @inkscape and have the render update in GIMP.

Knee-deep in papers on ICT4S – ‘ICT for Sustainability’. Usually well-intentioned, but often of a ‘tech will save us’ bent, missing any political analysis or question of how we got here. Case in point: the suggestion of ‘bayesian networks to discover supply chains using child labour’. Great. But better to transition to a system that doesn’t have exploitation of humans and nature as an ineluctable part of how it functions, no?

Who's up for Brussels? We are hyped for an in-person @fosdem after so long! If you are there, make sure to come by our booth, get promo materials for free, meet our staffers and volunteers. Let's catch up or get to know each other. #softwarefreedom

Maybe I suffer from confirmation bias , but my assumption in regards to (corporate or community led) projects developed on mailing lists by now is:

* I will *never* get answers to any of my questions
* Improvements for build or release process are ignored
* Suggestions for improvements (e.g. test infrastructure, CI) are met with aggression

Okay, we know... We made fun of Adobe when its cloud service went down. We've made fun of Corel Painter and Clip Studio. We joined in the protest No AI Generated Images protest. We made our stance on NFT's clear. But this is beyond making fun of. This is EW! EW! EW!

That's not even funny, Avid

Cardinal Web has been updated!

https://cardinal.kx.studio/

It's like the Cardinal plug-in. A eurorack-style modular audio canvas that you can build synths or effects in and use in your DAW, live setup or share online.

All modules are built-in so Cardinal patches are fully portable also between operating systems.

That is - unless you use the Ildaeil module to load external audio plug-ins into your Cardinal patch ;)

TODO: make a Cardinal t-shirt that links to a web patch :)

Whoa, @github@twitter.com seems to have a serious spambot problem currently...

Wondered when #github mention based #spam would become a thing for me.

Apparently today is the day! 🤮
