@glyph @jacob when "death of the author" is a preference and not a critical framework

@skinnylatte I put that in there as a joke the first year; 6 days out from the event, I got a serious inquiry, and he came by kayak both days. I think there was even a group outing last year!

(I will forgive you getting the name of the event wrong ;))

@skinnylatte I am happy to hear that.

(I hope you have similar success with one or more of the #NBPy cats)

@skinnylatte did you pass the snoof test?

@skinnylatte I could probably find that fulfilling. Fermentation flavours of soy sauce can be fascinating

@skinnylatte wait, you think Cantonese food is bland?

@skinnylatte on the one hand, I think there's value in subtle flavours that I don't think I've experienced in the SEA food I've had, but on the other I do not understand spiceless diner food that doesn't even come with salt

FURTHER POINTS:

1. Invite me to give this talk somewhere else, it's good stuff, and it's much better in a 33-minute format than a toot on mastodon
2. gosh it's amusing that early Django contribs are faving my original post, since I use Django as one of the litmus tests for how badly copyleft maximalists fucked up in the early '00s.

with that in mind, I will probably roll my eyes at you if you are advocating for a particular class of licence, except in the very narrow case of software that is absolutely necessary for a device to operate, in which case, copyleft is a good (if presently hobbled, pending SFC vs. Visio) proxy for disclosure of source code/right to repair

but advoacting for the necessity of one class of license over another?

nope, it really really doesn't matter any more unless you have lawyers

I gave a talk at last month about the role of organising in Open Source. I have three obserpinions therefrom:

1. Going all-in on permissive licensing was a mistake that directly led to extractive behaviour
2. Copyleft not having a good answer to the actual concerns of people who chose permissive licensing was a mistake that directly led to people going all-in on permissive licensing
3. It's too late to care about licensing, so we need other forms of consequences/ways to encourage organising

Instacart has some opinions about my preferences, apparently?

@mattl
At least you eventually did one of the two

@skinnylatte stop making it sound like it's convenient, you'll only make me want to visit

the graphics app with the inappropriate name just had its 3.0 release and didn't use that as an opportunity to change its name

disappointing

@skinnylatte
First time amtrakking on this side of the Mississippi and I'm already making plans for the next!

EMY 🚂 PDX!

@joncruz @skinnylatte yes. stop telling me what I should like.

On the one hand, thanks to @skinnylatte I have found a chilli condiment that makes sense to this person that grew up without American vinegar-based hot sauces

On the other, the quantities of this sambal I can safely add to my food just reminds me how utterly white my taste buds are 😂

@skinnylatte please, in the 2000s you had both Tegan _and_ Sara
