Any advice for someone on a newly formed "diversity council" which includes my boss who is so anti-diversity but believes she is awesome? I feel really stuck. I was personally invited to be part of this group but if my boss is there, I'm not sure I can take part. But I have looked forward to this for the last year and now I'm sad. Thoughts?

I wrote about this a while ago, from the "not compensated, toxic community" perspective around Minecraft modding:

So #HackMD CE becomes #CodiMD.

Have a look and some comments on the changes:

It would be nice to have more feedback :)

@david_ross TBH I've always seen existing OS funding ecosystem as "multi faith soup kitchen" (i.e making use of leftovers and surpluses from bigger more powerful organisations)

That is *not* to that is bad (real ones do a very good job looking after folk in my town) but that means they are ofc dependent on goodwill of more powerful orgs >>

@david_ross given that the motivation for 'open source' was to get companies writing free software, where was the people element to begin with?

Everytime I see someone saying "vote with your wallet" I wonder if that person knows things aren't as simple as they think.

First thing to do after coming home: Get into my #sweatpants! 👍

Hey Fediverse! Have you published a game that you wouldn't mind having someone stream for a few hours? If so, let me know and I'll buy a copy, then set up a time to stream it. Let me know if I can help you out!

Capitalism makes sure all deed are done with maximum misery. Sell as high as possible. Buy as low as possible. Haggle until you tire. Work until you can no more. Those are the affordances of the system. To enjoy yourself and the time you’re given on this earth needs resistance. You need to resist. You need to resist the temptation to exploit yourself and your fellow humans. Resist and enjoy what little time you have left.
