this is FreeAssembly, a non-toxic design, programming, and art collective. post your share-alike (CC SA, GPL, BSD, or similar) projects here! collaboration is welcome, and mutual education is too.
in brief, this community is the awful.systems answer to Hacker News. read this article for a solid summary of why having a less toxic collaborative community is important from a technical standpoint in addition to a social one.
some posting guidelines apply in addition to the typical awful.systems stuff:
- all types of passion projects and contributions are welcome, including and especially those that aren't programming or engineering in nature
- this is an explicitly noncommercial, share-alike space
- don't force yourself to do work you don't enjoy, or demand it of others

mine's ... not corp flavoured, and please excuse the vagueposting (bc reasons)
the investor behind the company flew me out to their private game farm, in a particular place that had specific kinds of legal import, to do some things. the listed tasks themselves were nonsense, and the entire plan for the trip was a razzle-dazzle "wow", combined with some attempts to get me pliably drunk and milk me for information (which I deduced was to be used in a "making redundant" play)
the plan was flawed in multiple respects, but the one that's most entertaining to me was the attempt to get me drunk. they picked (by chance) one of my regular things, and because I'm not a moron I made sure to make them drink at my pace. they very lost on that mark, and the next day had 'em remarkably chill
That started out positively sinister, glad it came out alright!
it ..... it's really wild
the vagueposting obscures a lot of detail
"there is currently an ongoing murder case, soon to go to trial" is, well. yeah. that's a thing.
