re: abuse, callouts, long
@typhlosion ultimately, i came up short
i didn't want to be disingenuous and continue anyway, so i gave an update to the original person who came forward to me a few months later and told them that i had tried my best, but i really couldn't continue without more information
i also mentioned that anything else they were comfortable sharing with me would help tremendously, and that i was sorry for failing them
when they weren't comfortable mentioning anything more, i told them that i unfortunately really couldn't do anything more with what they gave me, but if they ever felt comfortable enough confiding anything more, i would give it my responsible due diligence to help them again
i haven't heard from them since, and i still have no idea what the truth is
re: abuse, callouts, long
@typhlosion i agonized about how i could do right for someone who could have been abused in a way that was traumatic enough that they couldn't give any information about what happened, and also wanted to stay anonymous
i spent actual months trying to search for things on their behalf to try and unearth something i could confirm--anything to help them not fall under the clutches of this person's control again if news of their abuse got out and they suspected who talked
re: abuse, callouts, long
@typhlosion i was actually in this situation not long ago--where someone confided in me about something terrible that happened to them, and the entire event was traumatic enough that they didn't feel like they could give any additional details outside of that, and wanted to stay anonymous in case there was revenge from the people who abused them
i wanted to be responsible, so i tried to find ways to do my due diligence for their sake, and for the sake of anyone else who this person might have abused
what i ended up trying to do was to ask to everyone i could reach if they experienced abuse at the hands of someone, but only gave generic qualifiers like "they have a large audience", or "they are active still", etc...
the idea was to see if anyone would step forward about the same person without specifically mentioning who i was talking about until i had concrete evidence against them that i could dig into
i also communicated what i was doing to the person who originally contacted me
i think i know why the quote "they were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should" rubs me the wrong way
expectation:
this person is talking about someone forgetting ethics and impact when creating a thing
reality:
this person is dunking on someone doing something extremely creative and novel with a thing they don't like
(oh, i should mention that emacs isn't in the proot, which is why i was happy with how transparent my scripts are acting)
i already have cider working doing something similar, so now i have both common lisp and clojure working like this!
this is cool as heck, seeing that getting either of those working in plain termux is a pain of monumental proportions (especially since clojure just like...pins my cpu when not in a proot for some reason)
i settled for slime because i feel like it's more stable, but oooh! it's nice having access to this on the go
it even opens hyperspec documentation in my mobile browser when i C-c C-d h (and actually, maybe i'll grab a local version of that too)
@noiob oh yeah! that's fun ^^
i wonder how much stuff you can do with the external screen? because it would be amazing if you could put full kwgts on it
i was actually thinking of getting one of these, but i wasn't sure the tech was gonna last as long as i tend to try and keep my phones. plus it was pretty expensive
(maybe next time i get a phone the tech will have matured a little though)
i wrote a script to bind mount my pwd and home so i can pretend it's not in its own environment a little
i wonder if that's good enough to get sly up and running in emacs?
@noiob i think it and the z-flip are basically the coolest things
i love tiny tech, and i really miss form factors that can basically disappear in my pocket
@cinnamon it's a trick, for sure! but maybe we could trade some of those
plus, you do pretty good imo!
i managed to get sbcl to work in termux!
(audience applause)
but it's in a proot
(everyone in audience boos)
@cinnamon i wanna draw too! maybe we can find a way to draw together to combine our motivation~
@cinnamon that's slick as hell!

if your cat often bothers you at your computer and walks all over your keyboard, it's because they're trying to join you and do what you're doing. It's a sign of affection! One way to mitigate disruption without pushing away your cat is by buying your cat their own laptop and plugging it in next to yours. make sure the laptop has wifi, a VPN, and access to the darkweb
health stuff
@cinnamon oh no, i hope things are alright
(and good luck..!)
@cinnamon huh! me too
how coincidental!
@cinnamon yeah! let's play some utensil game: spoon 2
@cinnamon how does in about 45 minutes sound? ^^
(and didja wanna play anything in particular?)
