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.

2. Anarchism opposes authority and government, the state of affairs (a subtype of the first) where people are told what they can and cannot do, how they can and cannot live, and in general controlled and limited and policed. Anarchists view government and authority as fundamentally oppressive, because it necessarily rests on hierarchy and domination, which in turn rests on violence, and also because it prevents the operation of justice as defined in the previous point.

1. Anarchism opposes all forms of hierarchy and domination. That is, all situations in which there is an imbalance in power, such that one person's needs and desires are subordinated or treated as less than equally important to someone else's. Justice is not the application of a rigid set of laws, but the resolution of conflicts in a way that treats everyone's interests as equal, arrived at through direct reconciliation between those in conflict by reasoning together.
@alexispurslane I'd also add that this includes both explicit *and* implicit forms of power imbalance and 'government' - as it's unfortunately not obvious to a lot of people that capitalism also falls under that umbrella, despite its "freedom of choice" propaganda to the contrary.

@Peetz0r I don't remember :D

This is a neat site; it centrally collects end-of-life schedules for all sorts of software and systems. https://endoflife.date/

#accessibility questions!
1 - Are painting softwares (especially CSP and Krita) able to add alt descriptions into a, say, jpg of your art? Similarly to author data?
2 - Would websites (Twitter tumblr Mastodon Artstation etc) understand and automatically process this description metadata as an alt description?
I want to write the alt desc. into my saved artworks so I don't need to rewrite or copy/paste it as I post. Does this make sense?
@AgathaSorceress@eldritch.cafe Parker is awesome honestly

fuchsiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
also why the fuck are people recommending *snapchat* for private dms instead.... you do realize the deletion is purely cosmetic and the platform has full access to everything

In a way, I kinda like you don’t see the fave numbers when randomly scrolling. Feels so much less “who got the most likes” type of popular contest like this.
Letting the art speak for themselves.
I also like how much more easier it is to discover new artist in here simply by looking into the local timeline.
@alexispurslane Unfortunately Google Translate is *incredibly* expensive to integrate, they are super aggressive towards unsanctioned integrations, and Bing (which Twitter used) is only somewhat cheaper AFAIK. LibreTranslate might be a viable option, but the language coverage is pretty limited and I don't think the translation quality is particularly great.

Recurring theme I'm seeing from .art users who have been here for a few days - sometimes just one day - returning to birdsite and just not being able to stomach it, finding themselves more acutely aware of how toxic the environment is after spending a day in our little nook's coziness.

Is there a hashtag for stuff like donating your own grown food to the community? (Seen @tuatarara just posting about this and want to check the relevant communities can find the post :D)
@erincandescent@queer.af @haskal Isn't the problem with shared blocklists mainly their intransparency and lack of receipts, though? Rather than the concept itself.
@welshpixie It *used* to be that it would only keep that setting around until you closed the page. Not sure if that's still the case.
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev @meave@toot.site Open (to them)
selfie, eye contact (ec)
@riley@toot.site cute :3
