While my experience isn’t the same as this woman, I absolutely feel it. Everything is an uphill battle (and it’s worse if you’re multiply marginalized!) and every issue makes you feel like it is all your fault.

The tech industry has not made the kind of progress I had hoped when I started doing dei activism 15+ years ago.

エロあるよ:meowstare:

やあ (´・ω・`)

ようこそ、バーボンハウスへ。

このテキーラはサービスだから、まず飲んで落ち着いて欲しい。

うん、「また」なんだ。済まない。

仏の顔もって言うしね、謝って許してもらおうとも思っていない。

でも、この項目を見たとき、君は、きっと言葉では言い表せない「ときめき」みたいなものを感じてくれたと思う。

殺伐とした世の中で、そういう気持ちを忘れないで欲しい

そう思って、この項目を作ったんだ。

じゃあ、とりあえず
:misskey2022:支援しようか。

Hi! Today is my first official day as the Executive Director of Mastodon, replacing @GargronEugen Rochko as CEO. I joined the Mastodon team more than 5 years ago, mostly working for Mastodon in the evenings on top of a 120% day job. I was the driving force behind the incorporation of the German non-profit, am a co-founder of the US 501c3 non-profit, and I have contributed to most of the fundraising success, which allowed us to expand the team.

the indignity of putting these people through the tedium and stupidity of modern computing is also really jarring. these are people that imagined a different kind of computing, a kind of future that never got built, that got sidelined in favor of advertisements in the start menu, applications with in-app purchases, the global network as a mall, capital over computing.

and they've lived long enough to see it play out. Joe Armstrong talked about wrestling with grunt and gulp from the JavaScript ecosystem in one of his last talks. I've had the pleasure of working with Larry Cuba and most of our difficulties have been wrangling python package management on Windows. and now Chuck Moore gets his life work sniped to death by a random Windows update.

modern computers are a mess of accidental complexity and these are people that represented something different, living long enough to watch something worse become mainstream.

and beyond just the triumph of capital over any alternative, it really breaks my heart that computers are just objectively worse today than they were in the time of Chuck Moore. I try and not be an old man yelling at the cloud about this but we've given up on stability, soundness, maintainability. these are non-goals of modern computing, sacrificed at the altar of shareholder value.

it is wild that an official update of the operating system could break otherwise working code in a way that is impossible to determine even what is happening, let alone what to do to fix it. but this is what we've come to expect. computers break all the time, software breaks all the time, stuff crashes, you restart, whatever. and this isn't even factoring in the incoming wave of vibe-coded systems which make no attempt at correctness.

this isn't what computing was, there were attempts -- serious attempts! -- at developing theory and practice to build systems that were stable and correct in the face of usage and updates. we put half a century into that. and now we live in a kind of collective surrender. it's really depressing. as someone who has dedicated a life to computing, it's really fucking depressing.

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of . Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I intend to stay on and continue to advise the new leadership and contribute, because Mastodon—and the fediverse—is one of the very few beacons of hope for a better web.
