Are you on a Code of Conduct committee? Did you write a code of conduct? Are you otherwise a decision maker in a free and open source software community? I want to talk with you! Plz DM me.

"I [aged 34] read about five books a year, so even though it feels like I’ll read an endless number of books in the future, I actually have to choose only 300 of all the books out there to read and accept that I’ll sign off for eternity without knowing what goes on in all the rest." — https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/12/the-tail-end.html
Will it help my cake cool more quickly to put it in front of a fan?
Doing one if my favorite things and making an elaborate cake. Step one: making lemon curd

At the moment I'm leaning towards features, not philosophy. There are overlapping value sets (e.g. some people value the anti-capitalist/mutualist potential of FOST, while others value it for its financial potential), but these are not universal

I've been asking myself recently whether there is a free and open source philosophy or ideology. There is a set of features that unifies FOS technologies, but there are different reasons, purposes, values, and drives behind adopting these features
Basically, if you're a FOSS friend who has read it (or wants to) and are interested in talking about it, I would love a dialogue partner!
I finished reading "Xenofeminism" (Helen Hester). Hester talks about the features of FOSS, but as an actualization of an intersectional feminist ideology. It doesn't focus on the lone hacker or libertarian ideals typical of a lot of FOSS philosophy discourse. It contextualizes the "you" (or the hacker) in a network of kin, society, and experiences
As someone who studies moral philosophy, my hope is that you will watch the Good Place and understand that some people just don't have a gender
