This kind of day with Ruby - some cleaning, Outer Worlds 2, and Canucks game shortly. Some Marathon technical test after the hockey game!
So many distractions from pain and bad nervous system at least!

I'm looking for a new chair to replace my secret lab one which has done a pretty good job for five years.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a max budget of $1200 Canadian?
I have bad back issues, so the more comfortable and supportive the better.

I was talking to friends last night about white liberals. They truly believe that showing up in an orderly fashion and expressing their displeasure is sufficient to make oppressors change course. No matter how many times you tell them it's not enough.

One particularly popular move among people with the political alignment of DHH &co is something called Accusation in a Mirror (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accusat...)
tl;dr: the exact same thing that they were, in fact, doing, and continue to do, is what they will accuse completely innocent people of.

Ruby Central posted an extremely concerning “Incident Response Timeline” today, in which they make a number of exaggerated or purely misleading claims. Here’s my effort to set the record straight.

The reason people are targeting disabled people with prosthetics with the ‘clanker’ epithet on social media is because of ableism—not because of AI hate.
Disabled people get slurs, targeted harassment, epileptics get flashing gifs sent to them; I think it’s interesting how some people suddenly care.
