The Nexus of Privacy<p>Anti-Blackness – beliefs, attitudes, actions, practices, and behaviors of individuals, institutions, software, and systems that devalue, minimize, and marginalize the full participation of Black people across the world – is a long-term problem in the fediverse.

White people in the fediverse collectively should indeed be better than this ... but in practice, we are not.</p><p>Now's a good time to start changing that and start making the fediverse less toxic to Black people.

AI6YR Ben<p>Sewing project of the day: fixed a broken beekeeping glove on the Singer 201. Crude fix (struggling with the somewhat warped plastic mesh) but it will work. Note: I am not a fan of "ventilated" beekeeping gloves like this. The plastic mesh rapidly degrades and rips, and it loses flexibility quickly. More parts like this means less reliable. (This one from Mann Lake). <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sewing</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/beekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>beekeeping</span></a></p>

Wam ✨<p>anyway discord could do with fucking off but y'all are fighting a force of politics and seem to be pretty bad at affecting change over there so maybe we should be working on that</p>
Wam ✨<p>credit card age verification is not better you literally hand over your full legal name, home address and all the funny little numbers you need to drain your bank account just because you're trained to hand them over to every tom, dick and harry who asks for them doesn't mean it's private</p>
Adam Demasi<p>I didn’t think this needed to be said, but don’t make up conspiracy theories about Linux projects complying with the age verification laws. You’re frustrated like we all are, but you’re directing it at the party that has little power other than to implement it as minimally as possible.</p><p>Instead, contact the lawmakers that passed this without listening to groups such as the EFF, who warned them about how it affects platforms other than Apple and Google’s. There’s still time before the laws come into effect.</p><p><a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/03/ab-1043s-internet-age-gates-hurt-everyone" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">eff.org/deeplinks/2026/03/ab-1</span><span class="invisible">043s-internet-age-gates-hurt-everyone</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a></p>
