:) Coming out is hard to do. I can’t say I was ever in denial. I didn’t deny what I felt although I did take a breather and for my own sanity tell myself it may be normal, it may pass, and I do not really know for sure what sexual desire is. You can’t be told what you are going to feel and until you feel it… well. This would have been my first day… first hours…. of life. I did think ohh crap that first time I realised my interest in a friend was not like any feelings I had ever experienced prior. It made be very afraid. I didn’t know what was going to happen. All I knew was to keep my mouth shut. My biggest fear was not that I was gay. It was I was different and that meant anything was possible. I might be in the process of turning into a psychotic killer. It would have been nice to have had someone! It may not have helped my psychological fear. I was smart enough to realise my fears were just that. Unlikely. I’ll have to say some of my fears were not unfounded though. I may not be a psychotic killer today although given the reactions of others I may as well have turned into a murdering psychotic serial killer.

And no. I haven’t really come out. Not unless you call attending a few LGBT meetings or talking to a few other gay people coming out. Coming out is a process. The people whose perspective of me matter are probably the only thing that scare me. That and discrimination. However little of it there may it still hurts. It still can negatively impact my situation.

Take for instance renting an apartment. If I really said things that were true to myself I suspect I may not have been rented to. I don’t mean that telling the landlord I was gay would have caused an issue. I do suspect he had prejudices though and it would have been a determining factor. What actually happened was more along the lines of “so are you a religious person?”. My answer was a definite yes! Total BS though. It may have been an innocent question. My ability to show him a paycheck was non-existent. So a religious person would call that a miracle as they guy was about to say yes. However I think he was more interested in determining if I was going to be a problem. You can be discriminated because you have no faith.

I am getting off the ground now. I run a successful little free software enterprise.

Kinda weird that you had issues with flux not working on both screens. I’ve been using that four different systems on three different OSes and i haven’t had a single issue with it (other than it’s closed source). It also really helps with the eyestrain, it has this uncanny ability to kick in right when my eyes are getting tired. Curiously enough, that’s when the sun sets too. I do drink copious amounts of caffeine but i still notice a difference if i follow that advice in how well i sleep. It makes a difference even if you’re not fully conscious of it.

Great tip! I’ve installed redshift straight away. I do not see a direct need, but i’ll try it for fun. I’m using it like this:
redshift -l 52:6

Nuttige waarschuwing, maar niet concreet genoeg voor een politicus. Die moet direct de vraag kunnen beantwoorden: “Wat moet ik doen?”of “Wat is mijn risico?” of “Hoe kan ik dit gebruiken om mijn tegestander onderuit te halen?”

Kudos to you and everybody else on the panel. I wish coming out was as easy for all of us.

De kreet “geen enkele controle” is wat gecharcheerd. Zo bestaan er de Rijksauditdienst en andere auditdiensten die wel degelijk onderzoek doen. Zelf ben ik betrokken geweest bij de ontwikkeling van een systeem waarbij de leverancier van de software wel degelijk “security by design” hanteerde en ook testte of het voldeed aan de OWASP richtlijnen. Door een van de BIG4 kantoren is onderzocht of het systeem voldeed aan de eisen op het gebied van beveiliging van persoonsgegevens voordat het operationeel mocht worden. AV-23 “Beveiliging van persoonsgegevens” van het CBP is daarbij gehanteerd als normenkader. Eén van de subconclusies van dit onderzoek was overigens dat AV-23 verouderd is en op onderdelen niet geschikt is als normenkader. Er wordt al jaren gezegd dat er een opvolger in de maak is, maar het wordt tijd dat het CBP daarmee gaat komen.

Het zou nog beter zijn als overheden bijna al hun software in het openbaar ontwikkellen. In een publiek repository zoals http://osor.eu/. Dan kan iedereen niet alleen de voortgang controleren, maar ook de efficientie en de voortgang, alsmede in hoeverre wettelijke eisen aan overheidssoftware worden nageleefd.
