Let's not forget, the truly marginalized don't have voiced to speak up themselves, in the majority of cases.

The worst thing about my profession is the historical ignorance, willful dishonesty, egotism and shear cowardice of individuals who have far too much influence over the rest of society to be any of these things.

Guess what I do?

Open-source isn't the reason the world is in a dismal state, in fact it was doing a fairly good job of addressing the world's overt shift toward authoritarianism in the 20th century until folks like you, who think that there are legitimate stipulations on freedom, came along and gave the war mongers the rhetoric they need to again take our rights away completely.

Congratulations, you are officially a part of the problem, and your too smug to even care I bet.

It's just a fucking circus to prove to everyone on your Instagram how much you care. You really think people give a shit if it's true or not?

Let's take Gaza. Save the dudes who use babies as human shields. Destroy the universities if they resist! Ridiculous.

I was there arguing against the moderation team when it was first founded because I believe in principles of consent and civility, not compulsion and coersion, which were already starting to manifest themselves in argument for the moderation team to begin with. I was very vocal at the time, but not radical, when I lost I didn't fight it. I just consented and watched as things got worse.

I've watched a lot of people, some who were quite prolific contributors walk away, I've watched extremely well reasoned positions, including some of my own going completely ignored or silenced, and I've watched technical problems that could and should have been addressed by some of these very same people (some of which were actively being worked on previously) go completely stale.

I understand the document is "a lot of words", which I am not necessarily a big fan of either. But we have tried several times to give specific examples of corruption and been shot down, so we felt the only way to show proper cause at this point, that would be impossible to dismiss, would be to compile a much longer and more thorough narrative.

And as it states at the top, it is by no means exhaustive. Only a few months worth of activity in the 4 years or so I've been watching this trainwreck. Also, the last few days have shown us almost and equal if not moreso amount of strife.

We know the game well, pretend you are legitimate at all costs, whether you are telling the truth or not. Well guess what? That doesn't inspire anyone to do anything, and only inflates your ego.

You know what does inspire folks? Being honest, even when you don't have to be. This is about more than just the BS unsubstantiated claim that Srid is somehow a "dangerous person" as so often is dubiously suggested, this is about folks being tired of this garbage already. It is quite ironic, in my view, that the only "crime" srid is commiting is being a part of a different culture. I thought we were all about inclusivity? What happened to that?

Tell the truth, or stfu so those that do can speak, I leave it in your hands. Please and thank you.

I guess, as you stated, you might be able to write a fuse application to do it, but I don't see the benefit over just an encrypted disk.

I often see people "jogging" that are basically just walking with a bit of a skip, for example.

I believe this is correlated with diet, which most people think is just nutrition, but it's a lot more complex now. There are petrochemicals and toxins in basically everything, avoiding them is expensive and incredibly difficult and you will still inevitably be exposed. There are many of these chemicals that have been shown to have a direct correlation to slow metabolism, so it can make it seem to make everything more difficult if you are consuming large quantities of say, glyphosate.

Most people also don't realize that the bioavailability of food is important. Probiotics, enzymes, etc are usually completely dead or stripped by the time they reach your mouth after the highly processed pipeline.

Another note, there are literally thousands of micronutrients that we barely know anything, so that's also another variable. This is also just not looked at often, so you have to actually know to look to even understand their are natural compounds that may be useful, and then you have to deal with the quality control problem in the industry, and find a reliable, preferably third party tested supplier.

And also just discipline, which is harder when you don't have good nutrition, or your body is constantly processing mass amounts of toxic material. It also just requires willpower though, and applying it will build will to wade through the complex landscape of not poisoning yourself constantly. If you want to get ahead, you are gonna have to push yourself to an uncomfortable position.

Most folks would rather walk for 2 hours than do sprints for 5 minutes, even the the later has been shown to have significantly more effect on your metabolism, and requires much less time.

So in a way I agree, it's not as simple as just activity, it is moreso intentional activity at a level that is just above your comfort zone enough to make consistent progress, and hopefully you can do that without constantly consuming mass amounts of toxins that makes that whole process harder.

GitHub, and a few tech forums, is about the closest thing, and I guess it is basically a full social media platform at this point, but I try to keep to on topic technical discussion, and stay out of the political cesspool that seems to have infected every aspect of society at this point.

The main reason I switched to Nix about 8-9 years ago to manage my configurations was the deterministic package versioning. This is mainly because I started managing a lot more machines and each machine had different versions of different software and some config options were deprecated or removed, or syntax was changed, etc etc.

This is around the same time I started to get fed up with Ansible for provisioning and Nix along with NixOS solved both problems quite nicely, enough that I haven't felt a need to change nor any regret since. If not for that, I'd probably still be using pure git.
