some of my favourite articles are talks which people then took the time to write down

but if you’re not gonna write it down i’m gonna assume that you don’t actually think it was that important of a talk

re: Question about names for trans people (Cis name changers feel free to pipe up too) 

@lapis when the people you love and the people you work with both concur on calling you a name that you chose, that’s when it feels real

the origin doesn’t really matter much. you’ll give it your own meaning just by living. i would say it is best not to pick something TOO loaded with meaning, because you want it to represent YOU, not just your interests. (if you don’t think there is much to you aside from your interests, you will learn otherwise eventually 😜.)

last names can be even more arbitrary than first names. you don’t have to join a preexisting family (be it the Joneses or whoever) if you don’t want to. feel free to just snatch a nickname, handle, or epithet and make it your own.

you do have to MAKE it your own though. it's not a passive magic. so the real test is finding a name you are willing to keep redefining as yourself for the rest of your life.

i guess if they’re ordering me a computer that means they actually want me for this job

@packetcat big fan of this new CHVRCHES album; it took me a few listens to get into but lately it’s been on repeat

the extra songs in the Director’s Cut version are good as well

@monorail yeah as i understand it, it’s “hey [other Rust teams], the Core Team isn’t accountable the way all of you are! you should probably talk about changing that but we’d rather not comment on past abuses.”

it’s still something to be settled internally; it’s not something someone completely uninvolved in Rust development is going to be able to influence or control

@monorail i think it’s actually the other rust teams, not the core team, who they want action from but yeah if you are not a part of rust then you’re not a part of rust; chill
