software is not political, but the organizations and groups funding most of it, including open-source projects, are

i tend to ignore it, since it serves no actual purpose in the software's actual use

nowadays there are people who expect everyone from their friends to their favorite celebrities to address hot-button political issues, so it doesn't surprise me to see this in the world of software. that said, i don't mind it if devs want to express their views, and just because they're putting ukranian flags on their website/etc. doesn't mean they aren't supporting the cause in other ways too

+because (like you said) foss IS political, i guess this form of advocacy from creators of foss just feels more legitimate to me than when it comes from other people/areas, such as social media influencers

I could talk about this for hours and still not come into a conclusion. In short: it's annoying. I remember https://expressjs.com having a huge "black lives matter" on top of the page for months, possibly one supporting ukraine too. Now they removed it and suddenly they don't matter anymore? It' strange, hypocrytical, and just virtue signaling

Maybe software projects should just have a "politics" subpage and post everything there. Some manifestos or something. I know I am being cynical, but look at https://gleam.run , a programming language. "Black lives matter. Trans rights are human rights. No nazi bullsh*t." Damn.

I guess my only problem with this how often I see this. It kinda feels stale now, like it's lost its meaning and is all virtue signaling. But I am myself pushing the Mikan Tsumiki propaganda so what do I know. Sorry for commenting a bazzilion times on this post

@project190 foss is political, but it is ultimately related to software. There's a difference between a tool that says "software should respect user freedom" and a tool that says "rainight rules!!". I indeed rule, but not everyone agrees and its soo unrelated to what the software is doing in the first place. The issue at hand exists in a different category.

> Maybe software projects should just have a "politics" subpage What's next? Are we going to create a page for a software project's favorite anime characters :p I'm starting to think pushing political in places like that a U.S thing. > gleam Oh my god someone else recognizes how adorable gleam's mascot is!!! I love it. The creator is weird as you already pointed out. I wonder why hes so invested in u.s politics.

@rainight i agree that it's not strictly related to software or necessary at all, i just said i don't mind it, esp given that creators of foss are already politically involved by creating and supporting foss in the first place (so, it's not surprising that they're politically involved in more ways than one)

If you can look past the rather awful audio quality, some of you might enjoy this traditional Irish song. The bad audio quality is made up for partially by the wonderfully intimate pub setting. :^)

new essay IN SEARCH OF ENCHANTED IMAGES, about Proust, and trying to live imaginary lives
One reason I like photography is that it forces me to intently stare at something through the viewfinder, searing a memory into my mind, then months later once I develop the film, what I have in front of me looks completely different from my memory. Instead of "transforming memory" like you describe your essays, the present is transformed into something parallel to memory that I can only truly see in the future.
