seeing people ive previously worked with becoming C*Os of tech companies and then seeing what they say and remembering who they actually are is very enlightening

everything makes so much sense

it's all lies 😌❤️

looking through android apps and if they say "AI powered" im immediately closing and moving to the next

whenever i talk to my sister in Sweden the subject inevitably and casually becomes "oh yes, he's a classical swasitka nazi" in reference to some Swedish magnate or another

white supremacy is so much more prevalent than people wanna believe

@xgranade@wandering.shop well... and also do you know that schrodinger himself was... to put it lightly, horrible?

the point of saying "X is a social construction" is not to prove X isn't real.

the point is to say we can change X.

@bmacDonald94@hostux.social hmm... i kinda dismissed Kierkegaard after reading Fear and Trembling... but maybe there's more to this guy

mediocre men leading mediocre men to do battle with mediocre men

(my summary of world history)

the further i push into transition, the more sure i become that our society is fundamentally wrong

in the beginning it was a miracle to me that people didn't chase me with pitch forks when i came out to them

how fucking sad is that? being so thrilled with the bare fucking minimum...

hello! time for a re #introduction post :neofox_boop_woozy:

i am a 38 year old trans woman (white/settler) living in the northwestern part of Turtle Island, also known as b.c., canada. Sinixt təmxʷúlaʔx; the Sinixt are not extinct.

for a living, i write extremely fancy YAML and make gRPC calls to silicon owned by amazon, microsoft, and google that has been tortured with chemicals and photonic exposure into possessing a modicum of intelligence so that electricity can be turned into a slave for capital.

in my spare time, i enjoy:
- reading about leftist malarkey
- organizing and acting in service of queer liberation
- rampant transgenderism
- learning and practicing permaculture, regenerative agriculture, intentional communities as i restore the farm i live on and foster the community of my dreams
- stupid philosophy bullshit
- sometimes even more computer shit

edit: oh yeah if you follow me on @terraboops@girlcock.club then probably you should follow me here now kuz i am gonna post more here. ☺️

given what has happened and especially given the response, i am going to be defederating tech.lgbt in 7 days. i have a lot of folks i follow there and folks who follow me, but it would be against my values to do otherwise. for the same reasons this instance does not federate with threads or mastodon.social: it would not align with my values to do so.

we give our data to instance admins and we trust them with it. this is a sacred duty. i have zero tolerance for people who would willingly access data that they are entrusted with in the ways that they were accessed. there are almost no circumstances that warrant it! in the situation in question, there was no reason whatsoever. i say this as someone who has previously had unfertered administrative access that was largely untraceable to detailed marketing profile data on 2 billion people. it is unfathomable to me that i would have used that access for something like what david did. completely unthinkable.

the only appropriate response is for david to immediately relinquish all control. the rest of the mod team should have come up with a really clear covenant that makes clear their commitment to safeguard user data.

instead, we have seen this:
https://tech.lgbt/@mods/113589164027187529

"they said they're sorry!" ... ick...

i used to call tech.lgbt home and i left there because of questionable mod decisions. i have given david money because i believed in what they were doing, which only makes this hurt more.

in the end i believe that fedi - and humanity more generally - can only work if we enforce our values with meaningful actions. that is why i will be defederating.

@cargot_robbie@urbanists.social okay but imagine being a human and predicting this immediately after the yeast start eating and just not being yeast and being a human instead.................

@allthestars@transfem.social changing a transphobes mind would require intensive deprogramming, unless they already trust you implicitly and that only gets you so far...

so... it's probably not a good use of time... play some games or plan a heist or something instead 😊
