@jwiechers Actual solution:
if men, even straight men, could _also_ speak about "touchy-feely" stuff, i.e., the really hard problems that don't have technical solutions, without getting stigmatized.
[1/4]
@jwiechers I tend to seek a solution of the really hard, non-technical, problems from women because it's not as inconceivable for women than for men to talk about emotions in tech at all.
[2/4]
@jwiechers But, given a business climate in which any touchy-feely stuff is seen as exploitable vulnerability, delegating the speaking out to women puts an undue burden on them, and your post is an important and timely reminder of this.

@jwiechers That said, Goethe's "Das Ewig-Weibliche zieht uns hinan" is spot on. You have to look no further than to the US President ... not to the sociopath in the White House, but the President of @AmericanMensa, @lbakerink, obviously.

Or to , as it were.

How to be a software freedom purist:
Get rid of the software altogether and build the functionality in hardware.
My Categorical Imperative is from Theodor W. Adorno's "Minima Moralia", 83. Vice-President: "Advice to intellectuals: don't let yourself be represented."
That applies to middleware and other people's APIs in particular...

@sycramore @th_sattelberger Derweil höre ich bei meinem Surprise visit in Arizona von der Kehrseite der Medaille.

@sycramore @th_sattelberger Menschen brauchen verlässliche Beziehungen.
Diese Beziehungen sind eine Frage von Leben und Tod.
Ein durchgeknallter Physiker am CCCamp 2015 hat den Verlust so einer Beziehung nur überlebt, weil er den Präzedenzfall kannte

und Vorkehrungen traf. [1/n]
@sycramore @th_sattelberger In einer Umgebung, in der verlässliche Beziehungen unter dem Vorwand von "Flexibilisierung", "Eigenverantwortung" und "Wettbewerb" und en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-will_e… immer seltener werden, wird der Verlust einer engen Beziehung zu einer tatsächlich lebensgefährlichen Bedrohung.

A privileged white Western man's take on truth:

In states ruled by 天命, it would be the act of a presumptuous and rash man to discuss heavenly Truth.
I used @realsexycyborg's @sino_bit to show Truth @ #GPN18.
The reactions to my cultural appropriation of @realsexycyborg's @sino_bit at #GPN18 were different and sometimes quite amusing.

Others tried to read a political message into the characters shown on @realsexycyborg's @sino_bit without actually being able to read Chinese. [2/n]
