So, now that Bluesky is open to everyone, maybe I should make an introduction?
My name is João, I'm a computer science graduate from 🇵🇹.
My main interests are FOSS, especially projects related to the Rust programming language and Nix/NixOS. I greatly enjoy hard dance music genres and railfanning 1/

I guess it's finally time to check out Guix... So disappointing that NixOS, arguably *the* most interesting project in the Linux space since Linux itself, is heading this way, but not surprising given the state of the world right now. Hope my time will be better spent contributing to Guix (as […]

I think Xe is talking about NixOS, specifically the recent drama with the moderation and steering committee stepping on each others' toes.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

A friendly reminder that Donald Trump, Marc Cernovich, JD Vance, and the majority of the right wing have spent the last few weeks CELEBRATING the extrajudicial murder of civilians.

Não sei bem o que dizer. Fomos malucos ao fazer isto acontecer. Foi preciso e continua a ser preciso. Ficou o activismo no sangue, não sai daqui nem eu saio dele. Foram só os primeiros 10 anos.

Há 10 anos, começávamos uma viagem em Portugal cujo local de partida foi nos Estados Unidos. O objetivo era implementar a vida independente cá, com base no movimento de pessoas com deficiência, que lutou pelos seus direitos e abriu caminho no mundo inteiro.

I don't like the unfortunate implication this has for low-empathy people. Not every person with low empathy is Elon or Trump or some true crime serial killer. What matters most is the actions you take to better other people's lives along with yours instead of leaving others behind.

Depression is a protective urge; a chemical drive to return you to the safety of your innermost den to wait for a storm to pass, a bone to knit, a wound to heal. Civilization provides eternal psychic wounds from which there is no relief to be found in retreat, a storm which will never blow away.
