So, who else is going to #WHY2025 and wants to meet up?
politics, personal PSA
Just a personal heads-up for everyone I interact with: we've reached a point where if I see you in *any* way aligning with Trump or Musk, you are immediately going on my mental 'fascist' list with no further discussion and I will not speak to you anymore.
I don't care if you "didn't know how bad it is". The time for learning that is well past, so if you still "don't know", then I'm going to conclude that you didn't *want* to know and decide accordingly.
Why I do not like hanging around liberals anymore
Because they're like oppression lootboxes.
The liberal viewpoint is not one of intersectionality; they might sound very progressive and recognize one or more types of oppression, but do not (wish to) recognize the way these interact, or the structure and patterns that underlie all of them.
This means that it's only a matter of time before I hear them say some extremely shitty and/or bigoted stuff about a topic that they don't recognize as a form of oppression, but I can't know upfront which topic it will be, or when it'll happen.
With my intersectional friends, I could then just point out that it's a form of oppression, and they will take it seriously, introspect, and work (over time) to understand it. Mistakes happen, but they will try to learn. All I need to do, is remind them.
With liberals, however... they do not recognize it as another occurrence of the same thing, and so I am left having to "prove" from whole cloth that yes, it really is a form of oppression, before they are even willing to put in *any* effort to understand the problem.
Every time this happens, it takes hours of my time, and energy that I do not have to spare.
I am already running on fumes most of the time, and I honestly just don't really want to hang around people who put that sort of price on not being shitty.
I've actually been here for a while already, though mostly inactive! The Birdsite Situation prompted me to pop in here again. And I'm terrible at writing introductions, so I usually just say "I do stuff on the internet".
But uh, I do all sorts of activist-y stuff, work on radical FOSS (see http://cryto.net/~joepie91/manifesto.html), write (educational) stuff, am more or less a lonely polyamorous gender blob of indeterminate sexuality who likes both cuddles and kinky things, and I always have 10 times as many projects as I have time for, as is customary with ADHD brain :) Sometimes I even finish some of them!
While I'm an introvert and need plenty of time to myself, I *am* happy to meet like-minded people and spend time with them, and as long as you're not a bigot or apologist, you should feel free to interact with me and/or follow me!
Also, I live in Rosmalen (near Den Bosch) in the Netherlands, and honestly would like to get to know more local folks, and I also have some vague intention to start a queer hackerspace around here if I can find enough interested people. Eventually!
Over the next $unspecified_time I will be migrating to my own fedi instance over at @joepie91@slightly.tech - eventually this account will redirect and you should be following it automatically, but if you want to be sure that you don't miss anything, you should give it a manual follow now!
Can't really test out my new instance without actually posting there, so I'll be splitting my activity across accounts to see how well it goes. Once I'm happy, the automatic redirect will happen.
I just hate how believable my dreams are. I have already talked about the grocery fakeout dreams where I dream I do groceries and buy stuff I'm missing, and then start cooking assuming I have the ingredients, then open my fridge/pantry and realize it was a dream.
Another one that idk if it was a dream or real: someone told me wood is cheaper to buy in the UK and idk if it was part of the real convo I had with this person or a remix. Ugh why cant i dream I'm batman or something
I'm gonna be spending the next two weeks sorting through all the new thoughts and questions about identity that I acquired at #WHY2025, aren't I?
This feels like MCH2022 all over again (it isn't a bad thing, probably)
Unit Δ-44203 is pleased to announce that its talk, 'Building a Robot Visor: How and Why' has been accepted for WHY 2025! It is looking forward to seeing those ones there.

Some #WHY2025 presenters used AI generated images on their slides, which disrespects the audience, devalues the rest of the talk, and might not be compatible with the CC-BY licensing of the video recording. When are hacker camps and congresses going to have an explicit ban on slop?
Iemand nog goede bijenhotel tips?
Merken, webshops?
Ik lees in blogs dat er veel troep verkocht wordt met slechte buisjes etc.
Zelf maken geen optie.
Ik heb er al eentje, die doet het goed, maar die heb ik gekregen en geen contact meer met die persoon.
@B123 misschien?
I've created an account for Promistreams, the interoperable streams spec and library I've been working on for JS, where I'll be posting regular-ish updates and information about it: @promistreams
There's not much on there, it doesn't even have a logo yet, but stuff will start appearing there eventually! If better streams in #Javascript interest you at all, I'd recommend giving it a follow 🙂
not to be confused with adhd special move: the cha cha slide
you take a bunch of small steps in every direction because you can’t decide which task deserves your immediate focus; nothing of importance is accomplished
Reasons to avoid products you see advertised constantly:
1. It’s usually better value for money to go with a competitor that has good word of mouth instead of a sky-high marketing budget
2. Spite
A couple of quick questions for #Sydney, #Melbourne, and #Brisbane people,
Do you have any facilities that feature lots of amenities (library, food courts, meeting halls, BBQs, pools, blood bank, child care, etc) all in the one space/complex?
If yes, are any of them outside the inner suburbs?

In the process of moving to @joepie91. This account will stay active for the foreseeable future! But please also follow the other one.

- No alt text (request) = no boost.
- Boosts OK for all boostable posts.
- DMs are open.
- Flirting welcome, but be explicit if you want something out of it!
- The devil doesn't need an advocate; no combative arguing in my mentions.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
