Just got an email from a women-in-cyber org, advertising jobs at Meta.

Zuckerberg's, " more masculine energy in tech" Meta.

You've got to be kidding.

It's becoming very clear that too many US cyber organisations are never going to pick a side. Or not the side of the people, in any case.

This #WITDay, we're celebrating Martine Postma. She's the activist and former journalist who started the Repair Café movement.

“I wanted to do more than just write about it,” Postma says. “More and more people don’t feel good about our throw-away society and are ready for change. [They] don’t throw away because they want to, but because they don’t know what else to do.”

Sometimes being an open-source maintainer is nice. I haven't done paid consulting for the GNUstep Objective-C Runtime for ages (I wasn't doing enough for it to be worth the tax effort and I'm not always able to commit to doing things in a sufficiently timely fashion to set up the expectations that being paid creates), so I added a note a while ago telling people to donate to Murray Edwards if they find the project useful.

Last week, I got the following email from the nice folks at Algoriddim saying (abridged):

I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that we appreciate your continued work on the GNUstep runtime, and that we’ve made another donation to Murray Edwards to support women in computer science.

Always nice to see things being paid forwards.
