<p>If that's too verbose for you, read this draft of the above I scrawled down in the park one day:</p>
<p><img src="../../../img/TechbroCycle.png" class="big" /></p>
<p>To counteract this, I've taken it upon myself to singlehandedly populate the <code>o/STEM</code> board of Ovarit with basic tech tutorials and what I feel are the actually good submissions on Hacker News. ("Good" excluding upwards of 99% of the content there, as Hacker News is basically "the tech startup advertising spam website", but that's a complaint for another day.) I don't feel it's productive to yell at random strangers, "What do you mean, you're not running FreeBSD with full-disk encryption and only FOSS software? <em>Clearly</em> you're using your computer wrong!" like how imageboard users like to sling shit at each other over ideological purity in their computing. I don't think the women of Ovarit are stupid. We just have different priorities and interests and hobbies. I chose tech. They chose something else. As the British like to say, "simple as."</p>
<p>So, keeping in mind that not everybody has the same level of technological knowledge of me (an autistic person having a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20221006030338/https://dana.org/article/developing-a-theory-of-mind/">working theory of mind</a>? <em>SHOCKING!!</em>) I set the following constraints when assessing what this "female-only internet" I thought about <a href="../august/separatism-redux.html">a few posts ago</a> would look like:</p>

<ol>
<li>The software <em>must</em> already exist, because although I can write a mean Bash script and my knowledge of Python is passable, I don't trust myself to write anything that could potentially be the difference between life and death for someone.</li>
<li>The software <em>must</em> be available for Windows, and Android if possible, because it's not fair of me to expect the theoretical users of this network to learn how to use Linux or ditch their phones to be stuck at a computer for all communications or learn how to compile a program from source.</li>
