Actually I can literally see people getting scared of me. Like today at the coffee shop there was a guy in his 50ties. He didn't notice me when he came in and sat down, because I was already sitting.
Then a little bit later I got up to leave, he got a glimpse of a movement from the corner of his eye. He was surprised by something, turned his head, looked at me and the sequence of emotions in his face were like:
- What's this?
- 😳
- 😱
- Swiftly turns his head back
Ambiguous dominance. Nothing seems to be more frightening. It's interesting.
To be clear about this: I don't like to frighten people. I like to make them *think*. This sometimes puts people out of their comfort zone.

are there any other non binary entities here which feel excluded when entities are categorized in cis and trans?

Today is the first day of Black History Month here in the US. Right as we're watching our government begin the erasure of minorities out of existence.

Morgen schau ich mir dann hoffentlich endlich (!) die römische Kolonie Augusta Raurica an, unweit von #Basel. Eigentlich eine Tragödie, dass ich nach 9 Jahren erst jetzt dazu komme. Aber wie das Leben halt manchmal so spielt.
In Europe, far-right parties take flight,
Cannibalizing the center right,
Their extremist views,
Spread hate, not good news,
A vicious cycle that dims the light.

Took a long while to migrate all of our accounts out of Proton and validate everything had moved but it’s done.
Tuta for email. Mullvad for VPN. Bitwarden for password manager.
I settled on Tuta as I felt theirs to be the best, despite only allowing 30 aliases, which you cant’t delete. It’ll just mean I take a stricter approach to what I do and don’t create aliases for, and there’s always iCloud hide-my-email for the throwaway ones.
Not going to cover old ground on the politics again, but it’s a positive move. Also, having some independence with a more modular approach feels slightly liberating.
Just need to close the Proton accounts and billing down now.
He's the CEO but he can actually get demoted thanks to the new foundation
However, that's still highly unlikely though
The Proton AG board of trustees is Andy and his friends. There is no meaningful protection there.

Merz und Baerbock gemeinsam bei Privatparty: »Auf ein Glas mit Armin«
Am Abend vor der hitzigen Bundestagsdebatte zum Thema Migration sollen laut einem Medienbericht schwarz-grüne Spitzenpolitiker in gemütlicher Runde zusammengekommen sein. Eingeladen hatte Armin Laschet.DER SPIEGEL
“The US House on Wednesday gave final approval to a bill requiring the detention of undocumented immigrants charged with theft-related crimes, sending the proposal to Donald Trump’s desk and giving the new president his first legislative victory as he presses his hardline immigration agenda on multiple fronts.
The House vote was 263 to 158, with 46 Democrats joining every present Republican in supporting the Laken Riley Act, […]”

Speaking of collaborators;
"The Senate confirmed Kristi Noem as the next secretary of Homeland Security on Saturday, giving the South Dakota governor bipartisan support to lead a department that will play a key role in implementing Trump’s campaign promises for a tough-on-immigration policy.”
"The Democrats who voted to confirm Noem were Sens. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania; Maggie Hassan and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire; Tim Kaine of Virginia; Andy Kim of New Jersey; and Gary Peters and Elissa Slotkin of Michigan.”

You can wear a mask at #FOSDEM #fosdem2025
No one is stopping you.
A well-fitting FFP2 or FFP3 mask reduces your risk of catching respiratory illnesses.
If you have flu or COVID symptoms, the most responsible choice is not to attend a conference. The second best choice is to wear a mask and keep your crud to yourself.
You can avoid killing the sole maintainer of an important piece of code.
You can avoid killing funders of open source code.
You can avoid killing or disabling fellow human beings.
We white folks have a responsibility, y'all: to celebrate the absolute hell out of #BlackHistoryMonth -- every year, but this year more than ever as a can't-miss-it sign of our rebellion against this illegitimate fascist government.
