@thevhswizard@retro.pizza Ah dang it...Tapas seemed like it had potential.
Id be interested in knowing/connecting up with the entities who are trying to roll up a solution. Im mostly in the design and website css portion of things.
There is this famous quote that relates to "seeking forgiveness" vs "asking permission". I hear it quoted all the time and it has never felt right as a philosophy. Sure, it might be "easier" to ask forgiveness...but that doesnt mean that doing things that way is "better".
I have also seen how often people cite that quote, centered around "doing something bold", corpospeak that promotes bulldozong over others, or speaking positively about "taking the initiative"
Conversely, because I have never been comfortable with it... I know that my desire to ask questions and communicate beforehand is what makes people think I lack confidence. Couldnt be farther from the truth
Sure, it would seem like its easier to seek forgiveness after you have done The Thing..... but if we go by that logic than that sounds like someone asking-before-doing is actually *more* confident because they are doing "the harder thing".
Either way, consent is sexy. I cant help but operate on that philosophy, even if it labels me as "lacking confidence". Informed consent is even better.

@jay@social.zerojay.com That is so adorable. I hope mamma can recover from the ordeal and get some sleep. ...when her puppies arent hungry, that is

@xoagray@tiggi.es 100%. The amount of times I see it being justified in bad faith, is exactly what keeps me asking permission or communicating my desire first before doing. I want to leave room for the other person to give me feedback... or just tell me " Id rather you didnt". If they have a concern, my ask is what opens up that line of dialogue. Gives them room to gove me insight and perspective.
Replying to
@xoagray@tiggi.es Ill be honest, whenever I see someone use the "easoer to seek forgiveness than to seek permission" line in bad faith.... it gives me reason not to trust them. I say that even in cases where, before they used that line, I had no opinion on them before.
...whelp, now you have shown me that you are just another person who will sooner bulldoze over others to get what you want.
Replying to
@cwebber@social.coop One thing I have found myself unpacking often (in these last few years) is the amount of onus shifting centered around beingg upfront. Sometimes just bringing up a concern sets people off. I have noted contexts and people that have turned nuetral statements into "she's overreacting", or mistaking the calm even toned statement as "making drama"

The next 2 weeks is gonna be full of trying to find a more permanent housing solution. Obviously when you lose your housing, everything is gonna get more expensive. So, those boosts yesterday really helped. Thanks everyone!

@jay@social.zerojay.com I think it was said that Chapter 1 is a thing that will come to us a few months from now.
Soooo glad that there is going to be a boat and "ridable" type mechanic.

@rolle@mementomori.social Ill admit, I wont touch the @brave@mastodon.social browser (very problematic people behind it and I dont like crypto - Full info/backing: https://blog.alexseifert.com/2025/04/06/why-i-recommend-against-brave/ )
I havent run into issues with @Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net yet, save for two websites that had display issues. I am currently trying Waterfox instead of Chromium. Using Librewolf to replace Firefox, since Mozilla started pulling shenanigans a couple years back.

@SecurityWriter@infosec.exchange This caused me a type of hurt that is beyond physical. My psyche (mental state) hurts. Like the famous "emotional damage" soundbyte doesmt even cover the kind of pain received

@darwinwoodka @andypiper Essentially, I feel like that is par for the course. The "creatives as a one man band" working model sucks sometimes.
Replying to
@darwinwoodka @andypiper In my working life, I have never been given any evidence to suggest that there is any way to get a job that isnt convuluted, mentally draining, and morale-damaging.
"....no one wants to work anymore" is the phrase of cognitive dissonence
Replying to
@andypiper This is mostly my experience with alot of things. The GetHuman (gethuman.com) website was invented years ago, and I imagine its harder to actually get a human these days.
This problem even shows up in the job search use case. Too many phantom jobs and AI scrapers (among other things). So, i must verify the listing to see if its real (the job boards wont screen it and may even contribute to the fake job listings, l to pad up thier website content). Problem is everyone has outsourced their interfacing/point-of-contact to an AI secretary, phone tree or just set up some email void.
Replying to
@imp3tuz yeah. I was wondering how well one would cope.
I grew up in a Concrete Jungle so everything could be a skate surface (as long as the suits dont run ya off)

@mynameistillian@plush.city The footage was too fast to see but I kinda wondered if AGP might pop up. They have gone to a number of Scientology locations (incl the Twin Peaks compound by my house) .
I cant help but think that Scientology must look odd to people in other countries--whether people see it as a religion or just an odd cult.
Replying to
@rolle@mementomori.social Firefox also pushed features like that. Yes, it was said that you can disable them but to me, I prefer to not use browsers with those features.
Aside from privacy concerns, there definitely isnt any disabling of Brendan Eich (co-founder)s hateful and anti-science politics, which he has made known where he is donating his money beyond just crypto stuff.
I do agree there arent many options for browsers these days. However, Brave is just isnt gonna sit right with me. I understand how those things may not bother other people.
Replying to
@rolle@mementomori.social Yeah. I wasnt trying to push the idea of what browser is the best for that.
...but I do think Brave is worth some scrutiny even if they claim to support privacy. Many people suggest against Brave for good reason

@ReignOfRaining You are welcome. We are going to have to continue getting creative re: a more permanent housing solution. Im just glad you are safe and weren't (physically) hurt.
