@delroth @kravemir @aral maybe you could at least avoid calling people pigs due to where they work

Spent a good chunk of the day fleshing out and trying to understand others' positions wrt governance in #nixos at https://nixpkgs.zulipchat.com/ Not the waters in which I normally swim.So far, the wheels haven't come off. Most everyone is operating in good faith.

One realization during this was roughly that you can't maximize for both meaning and inclusion simultaneously. Maximizing for meaning almost always implies that you will form an ingroup that defines itself by opposition to outgroups (for example, a religion). Maximizing for inclusion almost always implies being blind to out/in groups (for example, a public park commission). 1/

To those trying to maximize for meaning, diversity is defined as elevating the least fortunate amongst the ingroup and attempting to convince those in the outgroups to join the ingroup after an allegiance pledge. To those trying to maximize for inclusion, diversity is defined as working to include everyone without respect to in and out groups and without any pledges. 2/

I am personally maximizing for inclusion and discounting meaning almost totally, so my efforts are likely to be focused on negotiating with the meaning-seeking people for a result that has the broadest ingroup without extremes on the edges and the fewest pledges possible. 3/3

I have been participating on forums today and now I have a strong urge to map a keyboard shortcut to the string "sir, this is a Wendy's".

Gross. These kinds of messages yearn for /dev/null and folks that send them are not welcome in any community I'm a member of. https://www.reddit.com/r/NixOS/comments/1cjkt78/nixos_preferred_minority/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button #nix #nixos

If you become continually violently exercised about stuff that has as much actual import to you if it happened on Mars, you are probably seriously behind on your chores. Do your laundry. Wash the car. Clean the gutters. You'll feel better, and you'll, for that time, improve the world by not imposing your temporary psychosis on everybody else.

Dave Beazley turned me on to this uncategorizable album (slacker country punk?) from 1985. It is what you have been missing your entire life.https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nX6XhDrEP1mxC_9Nt2nDkiXK8uxdvKfbw

@alrs some of that is pretty sophisticated, not your normal Nashville stuff. Great recommendation.
