oh lmao someone finally pointed out that dtolnay is also problematic and therefore serde is also tainted.
Name Alternative(s) Evidence Notes facet Use more specific deserialization libraries and avoid macros that slow things down anyway. serde itself is tainted by its Palantir-defending author. nanoserde could be suitable for certain use cases. Core developer openly uses LLMs for library dev

this little bit at the end is hilarious to me for some reason
Why not LLMs? tktk. Could use some help writing this with concrete receipts on environmental, social, political, and economic/labor harms.

Yeah nothing in the Cape Breton Highlands has a proper timberline either but that just means your mountains are older than multicellular life.

my typical avatar, an ink drawing of Vin from Mistborn, with her mistcloak tassels coloured in with pride flag colours. she has black hair about jaw-length another common avatar, from an artist on twitter (might? be AI, I don't remember). person or possibly cyborg or robot of unknown gender in a helmet and red scarf, at sunset, clouds illuminated Bobbie draper from the Expanse in Martian marine power armour, looking impassive, another common avatar "artistically" obscured black and white polaroid mirror selfie of a white person with breasts in a form-fitting tank top. they have short hair and the camera obscures their face somewhat.

don't be. I say shit but I grew up pretty happy until dysphoria started kicking me in the teeth in my late teens, and that is a mostly solved problem now.

And you can see how I never really felt in community with boys or men. It was the class I was compulsorily sorted into, but not one I had any attachment to, nor did I (nor really could I) take advantage of the benefits except by accident when some of my natural inclinations sort of aligned. Where I chafed, it was in many of the same ways that my mom (brilliant, stubborn, and opinionated) in retrospect clearly chafed against her own cultural programming, which she also pushed onto me. There's an angle here where my mom saw something in me she recognized intuitively but didn't have a good name for, and it made her scared for my sake, and so she tried to equip me as best she knew how for how to handle it. And in some ways I like that narrative in part because it makes her struggle to accept me of a piece with internal struggles around her own relationship with her sex/gender and how society treats women, rather than just bigotry leading her to torpedo her relationship with her eldest child rather than repair it, when they wanted and needed her love and acceptance the most.
