hi, i'm june (aka strawberry🍓🦴 or girlbossceo). i am 19 and a neurodivergent trans puppygirl!!! my pronouns are it/its, pup/pups, she/her, and they/them!! :> 🏳️‍⚧️

work at Aristocrat as a Security Operations Analyst. opinions are my own and not my employer's, nor am i speaking on behalf of my employers.

i formerly worked as an Incident Response Automation Analyst at ReliaQuest in Tampa, Florida (pupbrained automation irl) for almost a year. prior i was a Security Analyst Intern for a little over a year.

i used to be an android engineer for a 3rd-party security and privacy focused-OS with terrible leadership (they still suck). now rust is cool.

i do some security research, but not much anymore. i'm a blue teamer and know nothing about red teaming. exploit mitigation and vulnerability research is cool.

i did a lot of linux sysadmin work in the past, and still sadly do.

This is found at the root of the domain of the shared post and wow, there’s a lot to unpack there.

Is this a real person or some kind of character behind this site and post? “Neurodivergent trans puppygirl” sounds like a conservative Fox News dad’s made-up boogeyman.

And that list of prior experience combined with an alleged age of 19 cannot be real. Thats a described 5-10 years of experience in a number of jobs and fields that you wouldn’t even be hired in until 18 at least.

Either this post was made by some kind of performative character or otherwise a very deeply troubled individual. If it’s the latter I genuinely hope for the best for them as nobody should be bullied like that but it’s so hard to deduce what’s even true or not here.

She sure has a lot of domains tho. That's not that unusual, just notable. I hope she finds inner peace.

BTW one of the maintainer forked it so if you need upgrade path, it exists. (at least for now)

Looks interesting.

This part confuses me though:

Tuwunel's theme is empathy in communication defined by the works of Edith Stein.

What does "empathy in communication" have to do with a software project? Are they going to ban people who don't display empathy? If so, isn't that anti-empathetic? I'm kind of confused what this is intended to convey.

I'm all for empathy, don't get me wrong, but ideally software projects are more focused on technical correctness than feels.

What does “empathy in communication” have to do with a software project?

Not having read Stein's work, I can only mostly guess it's related to the emphasis on the "communication" part as it applis to effective communication of duties, milestones, failure modes and reactions in a project. Torvalds's tirades for example were awesome and most of the time well-deserved for the idiot trying to accidentally the kernel, but are quite more of a bummer and a momentum-killer when looked at at a project-wide scope.

I’m all for empathy, don’t get me wrong, but ideally software projects are more focused on technical correctness than feels

(Not) sorry to say, that age has long sailed. Remote teambuilding, capitalism and AI have made it that we now need to actually care and be watchful why or how something is being made to work, on the technical sense. Just look at the situation with Mozilla or Signal (offering systems that can be described as free, but are being offered so in a rather adversarial manner).

If there are multiple independent people coming in complaining about you and/or your co-maintainer, maybe the problem is you and not the whole community. Especially if your co-maintainer wears the honor of being the first person to be banned from matrix.org.

Did we read the same text file? I’m seeing none of what you’re talking about. The person who wrote this is also trans.

[–] nrab@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The fact that they’re trans does not somehow make them immune to being a bad person or from shielding bad people

[–] 2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn’t say that. I would say it makes it much less likely though especially for someone who is openly trans and given someone who has text like “trans rights are human rights” on her web page. Of course it’s not impossible, but it would certainly be hypocritical and goes contrary to the vibe I’m getting from her.

You’re the first one who brought this up. Where is the context for what you are talking about? Which people are saying she’s a bigot?

[–] nrab@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m sorry, I don’t have receipts and I shouldn’t have thrown around accusations like that. I’m mentioning that because the text specifically calls out “queer”as the main reason multiple times and what I’ve heard behind the scenes, but again I should’ve just stick to what we can immediately see. I edited my comment accordingly

[–] 2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 year ago

Ah okay, so you know some behind the scenes info or at least more than just this. My bad, but tbh you should have lead with that because initially I thought you completely misread what the text was saying because I pretty clearly read the queer mentions as “this is not just transphobic attacks by bigots” (see my other comment). Sorry!
