J’imagine que je ne vais pas me faire que des copaines sur ce coup là.

Alors bon, que pour être CHATON il soit obligatoire de s’engager à n’exclure aucun utilisateur à priori, je peux comprendre l’idée. On va dire que ça éviter de se retrouver avec des "CHATON sans SJW ni LGBTI+". D’un autre côté, je suis bien embêtée de pas pouvoir refuser une personne connue pour avoir fait des sorties LGBTIphobes, fascistes, etc… (vous me direz que je n’aurais qu’à attendre un signalement pour le virer mais je trouve que c’est déjà trop long). En plus, impossible d’être un CHATON en non-mixité pour un public qui en aurait besoin. Donc je comprends ce point, je le trouve discutable mais il s’inscrit dans la politique et les objectifs de Framasoft. Alors soit.

À côté de ça, le fait d’avoir un contraste correct pour rendre son site accessible aux personnes malvoyantes (par exemple), ce soit juste une recommandation. Là, franchement, c’est abusé. Je parle en tant que valide, donc si y a des personnes concernées qui souhaitent compléter/critiquer ce que je dis, je relaierai leur parole. Je comprends pas pourquoi ne pas rendre ça obligatoire : y a tout un tas de services disponibles sur le web pour aider à rendre nos sites accessibles sans forcément être un·e génie de l’informatique. J’imagine que derrière ça, il y a l’idée d’encourager les personnes à s’en occuper tout en les laissant se concentrer sur le cœur du service. Sauf qu’en fait, l’accessibilité ne devrait pas être une option. Y a pleins de personnes handicapées qui ne sont pas conscientes de l’être, se dire "l’utilisateur peut modifier le site", c’est exclure ces personnes inconscientes de leurs handicapes ou celles qui n’ont pas les outils nécessaires. Ensuite, contraindre le CHATON à rendre son site accessible en lui indiquant des outils, c’est aussi s’assurer que les personnes se documentent un minimum et favoriser la prise de conscience que les personnes handicapées existent. Encore une fois, les quelques minutes/heures qu’une personne investies pour rendre son premier site web accessible, c’est un savoir-faire qu’elle pourra reproduire et ça sera sûrement un investissement minime par rapport aux autres tâches à faire pour devenir CHATON.

Je reste disponible pour en discuter. Je tiens à dire que si je regarde ça, c’est parce que j’envisage de passer mes projets en CHATON et que je trouve que c’est une super initiative. Je ne veux pas trash gratuitement qui que ce soit ni l’initiative de Framasoft, j’essaye plutôt de créer un espace de réflexion et d’échange.

Je vais devoir AFK un peu mais je vous promets de répondre aux mieux.

La pétition pour séparer le calcul de l'AAH des revenus du conjoint est toujours en cours ! Pour rappel, l'AAH est une allocation versée aux personnes handicapées, elle ne devrait pas dépendre des revenus du conjoint car cela sous-entend que la personne en situation de handicap doit vivre aux crochets de la personne avec laquelle elle vit.

“But the 8-hour workday is too profitable for big business, not because of the amount of work people get done in eight hours (the average office worker gets less than three hours of actual work done in 8 hours) but because it makes for such a purchase-happy public. Keeping free time scarce means people pay a lot more for convenience, gratification, and any other relief they can buy. It keeps them watching television, and its commercials. It keeps them unambitious outside of work. We’ve been led into a culture that has been engineered to leave us tired, hungry for indulgence, willing to pay a lot for convenience and entertainment, and most importantly, vaguely dissatisfied with our lives so that we continue wanting things we don’t have. We buy so much because it always seems like something is still missing.”

back in the 2000s conservatives were all like "if you let gay marriage pass or let obama get elected, it will be chaos and society will crumble!" and now I'm seeing it was actually not a warning but a threat, like if we let these things happen then THEY will be the ones to unleash the chaos

Musing on my experience of working in tech.

If I could sum up the startup life in a simple phrase, it would be this: the contemporary model that tech start-ups adopt is fucking cancer. Virtually all of them start from good ideas, or at the very least, good intentions. At first, it seems cool to work at a tiny company where everything is scrappy and the future is uncertain, where your first big customer feels like a huge validation of a big idea.

But, at some point, there's this horrific pivot where the startup decides it MUST act like "a business" and, without coherent guidance, copies over the conventions that thousands of other startups have bought into, with little consideration towards their corrosive effects.

One of the biggest, most telling things about my last startup was in what happened to personnel. It's representative of the wider industry: most employees stay for about 1-2 years, then fuck off to some other company in search of advancement in either payment or status, or both. Turnover in tech is extremely high, despite the purported benefits: there's a snack bar! We do team-building exercises once a month! There's yoga and inspirational talks, and a diversity initiative, and all of our messaging focuses on how much we care about you! We're a family, after all!

Deep down, all of these concessions do little to address the more horrific things going on. Someone's fucking the boss. The Diversity and Inclusion initiative doesn't actually do anything. The community outreach program just has the same people coming back every month to leech off the free food while we mindlessly play powerpoint karaoke and interview industry veterans over buzzwords like kubernetes. We pretend to be progressive, and care about people, but we're part of why the rent is going up, and a factor in why that homeless guy is shitting in the street. The poop in the street is treated as a meme - we all talk with a smile about whether that's dog or human poop, then bring up whether the problem will ever get better, as we mosey down to a sandwich shop to pay for our $15 lunches without the hint of irony.

Dear web developers and admins,
please stop embedding Google's hideous #ReCaptcha into your websites. Its algorithm is faulty, forcing regular users to click dozens or even hundreds of fire hydrants, bicycles, or traffic lights each day. It puts a 'suspicious activity' flag on users who won't obey to Google's business model - such as people who don't sign into Chrome, use anonymity VPNs, or use browser extensions to suppress common tracking mechanisms. Enough is enough. Stop it.

it’s very punk rock and sexy of us to care about other people actually i’m tired of apathy and nihilism we CAN and SHOULD build a softer world if only because it is within our power and imagination to do so
