filtering posts with trigger word warning [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
@bkuhn You appeared in my timeline (I follow the #foss hashtag).
Instead of displaying your post a Warning with "filtered uspol: <filter trigger> (trump in your case) appears and a "show anyway" link to unhide your post 😀
I do this to curate my home, federated feeds e.g. with putting topics like systemd, xorg, wayland, linux, redhat, bcachefs, depol, swearing etc behind a Warning only to open them if I know the person like you. 🙈
I'll post a screenshot later.
uspol & USA war-waging [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
The mental health toll of #Trump & his nihilist cronies — while small when compared to the murders they commit — is nonetheless palpable damage to all.
Since our Constitutional right “to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” has effectively been suspended, I'll focus exclusively on my #FOSS work. My whole adult life, I never outright ignored world news,but for my own mental health I must — at least until I've an idea on how to start a non-violent revolution.
I often have trouble sleeping. ∃ plenty to keep us awake worrying, but my specific job is to worry about software freedom & rights.
I then play old movies as distraction— often Coen brothers' films. Their central theme: how ordinary people come to do extraordinary actions — good & bad.
“Sometimes there's a man…I won't say a hero, 'cause what's a hero?…but sometimes there's a man…he's the man for his time & place; he just fits right in there.”
I always have wanted to fit right in there in #FOSS.
Happy Autonomy Tuesday! This week on the Autonomous Stack series: why I'm doing this whole thing. I strive for digital autonomy but somehow I ended up with all these dependencies I don't control. I want to document how I'm changing that.

Last year @ #FOSDEM, I got COVID. I ∴ missed my own keynote.
@karen & @ossguy filled in for me well, but I also *could not work on #FOSS for a WHOLE MONTH after*!!!
We all have important work after #FOSDEM2026. Why let the #FOSDEM26 flu/COVID slow down #OpenSource?
Wear a mask all day today & tomorrow unless you're on stage or asking a question.
If you need a mask or hand sanitizer, visit #SoftwareFreedom Conservancy's stand at K level 2 (group A).

TIL putting photos of your murdered friends & colleagues on your clothing is a political act that ends your career.
I'll now start every #FOSS talk with a photo of my murdered mother.
If we can't honor those killed due to societal corruption & institutional inaction, our culture has lost its soul.
I saw corporate logos everywhere this #Olympics. The real story is these families aren't wealthy enough to sponsor so
Heraskevych is banded. If only he were rich.

Hope to see you there, and any questions feel free to ask.
Over next 1-2 weeks,I'd appreciate an extended thread re: #FrameworkLaptop, #mntreform, & #FOSS.
TL;DR on my idiosyncratic needs:
* minimize binary firmware blobs¹
* Having 2 disks in RAID-1²
* Runs stock Official #Debian stable³
* Understanding best current replacement keyboard options⁴
* Form factor that works for my travel needs.
Is @frameworkcomputer or @mntmn better for me?
I'd be glad if ∃ active engagement on this!
