@lufthans @moonrabbit

I made a pattern for sewing RSI wrist braces based on @cwebber and my needs. You can find that here: https://mlemmer.org/blog/RSIgloves/

Most fabric stores that have spandex fabric have it in multiple colors (and possibly patterns) to choose from.

Now, caveats of that based on your post:
- One of the main reasons I wrote my pattern is because the style of brace that you've pictured is too rigid for our needs, we only needed compression not stabilization with metal etc. So depending on your needs my pattern might be too minimal
- My pattern focuses on the wrists and doesn't have any support/compression for the thumb
- If you were to make it in linen, you would need to use laces or velcro to get the compression since linen is a woven fabric and doesn't stretch
- You can do some embroidery on the spandex style compression gloves, but you need use a stitch that will stretch with the fabric so you don't lose the compression.

like seriously if you don't know how stock dilution works, and you own a few stocks, look it up. you will come to understand that the people confiscating your property _are_ the billionaires, not the government

it is frustrating as someone who knows a few things about finance to see naïve comparisons between personal property and private property. you have an apartment, or if you're really lucky a condo or a house, with stuff in it, that has value. maybe you have anxieties about the government taking that stuff. but *none* of that stuff can be turned into a financial instrument where you can weaponize public ignorance about dilution rules and debt seniority to foist your bad debt onto meme stock dupes

also, just more generally, Twisted is also getting hit with the slopsec wave, albeit MUCH more slowly than other projects. we need volunteers to help respond to this.

yelling at nobody in particular here, but taxing a billionaire is not the same as the cops seizing your personal property. if you are a person who makes and spends money, or even someone who has a bunch of investments and cares about things like dividends and capital gains, you do not interface with money like a billionaire. the rules that need to change have to do with things you will never touch, like restricting the ability to collateralize margin loans with unrealized gains.

part of my problem with conservancy's statement was thinking that it was actually written by lawyers, and that it was incredibly unlawyerlike.

you see, i have spent a lot of time with lawyers over the years. i have not just been a code monkey, i have been a manager too, and i have had to deal with lawyers often.

how would i describe lawyers in a word? perhaps 'careful' or 'risk-averse'? they certainly wouldn't be advocating just jump full bore into a new massive legal risk without settled case law, at any rate.

but if it's just written by some guy, there's no reason to expect any sort of sense to it at all.

Since I'm traveling I have barely had time to even refactor out the big pile of duplications, but it still needs tests. (We should probably just get rid of tkconch entirely even though it's a fun novelty, but the _main_ problem here is that port forwarding itself needs coverage)

For the current Colombia presidential election, the right wing incumbent co-opted the football national team T-shirt, which is now equivalent to the MAGA hat. Voting in Seattle and I see a bunch of yellow, and no, there is no Colombian football game today.

Truly sad to live in this country as a foreigner, at this time, and vote for that motherless paper pusher that wil likely build some CECOT-like prisons to hold their compatriots.

I suppose the one good thing to come out of "generative AI" is that I understand what "no cops" means. I don't like how large language models or diffusion models are used and spread around, and I hate to share anything made by them. I can feel this desire, in me, to inspect everything and make sure it's "real".

But not only am I not qualified to do so (it's an exceedingly difficult problem), the act of attempting to identify is caustic to me. Instead of enjoying what people make and share with the world, I can feel my hackles raised and in defensive mode. I've found myself immediately looking to the "signs" that something is fake. And that keeps me from enjoying, and trusting, others, and the things they create.

Just because tech bros have broken the assumption of trust does not mean I should not trust. My response to creative commons becoming "unsafe" cannot be that of a cop; I am not here to police what people make and decide whether or not it is real. I might be right sometimes, but I will also always be wrong, eventually. And I'll have spent my time squinting at people, wondering whether I can trust them, inspecting everything to the nines... instead of just trusting, or not, and moving on with my day.

I can feel how corrosive the distrust is. I can feel the want to trust, and a desire for a simple metric for trust. But acting as the slopcop isn't the way to do it.

I don't care how bad your imposter syndrome is - you deserve every dollar you can get from capitalists. Negotiate as much money as you can. Demand raises. If you can find some other corp offering more, go there. It doesn't matter if you think you deserve it, it's about extracting wealth from corps. Even if it turns out you're keeping a seat warm for 6 figures. Keep that seat warm and cash those paychecks. (Then donate as much as you can afford to).
