I find myself unable to think of "systemctl" pronounced as anything but "system-cuddle" since watching her stream.

#113Terrible news, my thoughts are with her family.

#114None of you here know me, and Kris did not know me before we did this very personal podcast with Rich. This is about both our times as homeless tech people. She was the reason I am who I am, and we didn't know that until we did this. https://kubecuddle.transistor.fm/episodes/dave-fogle-and-kri...

#115A self-authored bio of Kris for those unfamiliar with her, here: https://krisnova.net/bio/ >
I found some information about her background that I thought was interesting here as well: https://hackingcapitalism.io/why/
(this is also authored by Kris)

Raw numbers don't mean much unless you normalize to the number of participants in some way and, really, to the level of the activity. Not a lot of people are killed flying in wing suits but that's not because it's such a safe activity. To be clear, I think mountaineering is a perfectly rational activity for people to pursue so long as they're going into it with their eyes wide open. I've certainly done activities in…
FWIW the article I linked says exactly the same thing as you. It's essentially impossible to properly normalise across hours of doing the activity. Those stats, are at best, an estimate but it's exceptionally favourable to mountaineering.
I think "mountaineering" is probably more dangerous, especially once you get into the alpine.
I do (and love) outdoor climbing and even a bit of mountaineering, but it seems like most accomplished climbers die in the alpine. Some of what people do makes Honnold's famous free solo of El Cap look tame by comparison

#118Oh man, shocked. Sadly, never met her in personally, but have always admired her work in the field and for just generally being an inspiring person. Huge loss. My sincerest condolences to her family and friends :(

> I pointed out on twitter that the rules for her mastodon server were incompatible (IE; “Don’t be an asshole” and being welcoming to Autistic people) Calling all autistic people assholes is very worthy of being blocked and banned
Apologies, that's not what I intended to say, and not what I said to her either. It's unfortunately true that my behaviour (and the behaviour of many autistic people) can be easily characterised as being an asshole, and vague rules do not help us function. The condition is very much characterised by being unable to understand social cues. I really was trying only to be helpful and got quite hurt in the interaction.
Dijit, Why is a rule about “Not being an asshole” incompatible with welcoming Autists ?

Incredible. Thanks for posting. This is an amazing podcast episode. What a life she led that was cut way too short.
