Native Hawaiians and other indigenous peoples have been living the solution to world-ending capitalism, climate change, and AI/automation for centuries. To the extent we still have a planet is the extent our peoples have resisted for-profit annihilation. Listen. #IndigenousRights

The per-project and per-organisation .localrc files sets up anything from my git committer deets, to bash and gdb history files, the location of project source and build dirs, an updated PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH if needed, and so on. This allows things like gdb and emacs to find source files, build config and so on.

Most importantly, this gives per-project command histories, which are the main thing that stops me from using IDEs. Once you have this, you really don't want to go back.

If a child refuses to sleep during nap time, are they guilty of resisting a rest?

Does anyone have any good resources on colour contrast in web design? Particularly looking for universal design like Laura Kalbag talks about, but also aesthetics sources.

Boosting would be lovely.
