   Saw this slide in a fosdem talk https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/GNKEPR-burnout_in_open_source_a_structural_problem_we_can_fix_together/ and immediately thought of the "with great power comes great responsibility" spiderman thing.

   It sums up why I generally think it isn't desirable or possible to have orgs where all members have the same power/autonomy: I am a member of way too many orgs to take top-level responsibility in all of them!

   … that maybe showing “like” counts and other “engagement” stats isn’t a good thing.

   It’s counterintuitive for software designers trained on surfacing as much data as possible, but it’s probably true.

   What's the strangest job you've ever had and did it change how you saw yourself?

   I wasn't officially on the books but when I was in high school, I would routinely go with my next-door neighbor to his job at a mausoleum and crematorium.

   Apparently I was Goth before Goth was a thing.

   It's not only fair but accurate to say seventeen year-old me didn't understand death or what it does to the survivors.

   It also gave me an abiding hatred of organ music.

   Mama Taber put out a new vid yesterday. In case you don't know, she is a working-class, small family farmer, with a Ph.D in munch, plants, and spotting bullshit, and she and her extended support network do amazing progressive things in the rural south.

   Her new video is about botanical sexism. How it came about, how it's being used, how to counter it, and what to do when you see it happening. No major movements are in this space yet, but with sex and sperms and prejudice all in the mix (seriously!), it won't be long until some alt-right smooth-brain fuckwit jumps on this and makes it a thing.

   It's a long one; 90-ish minutes, I think, but Mama Taber don't waste no-one's time. Give her a click and an ear. She does amazing work.

   Never once has my skin color gotten me a damn thing.

   It's never paid my rent or bought my groceries.

   I keep on having a strange feeling that the Fediverse could be better.

   Not just that it could be used more effectively, as yes it really could be by people. But more a factor that apps, the ability to post from one true account could be a thing.

   It's been sorta proven in a way with developers building on AT Protocol with the invention of Flashes & Bluescreen for Bluesky.

   Why can't we have 'one account to rule them all?' Is that even a 'good' idea?
