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.

if you can get tackled, ziptied, and arrested by agents of the state for protesting the state without their permission, do you *really* have the right to protest? does it make it better or worse, knowing that *they knew* the charges wouldn't stick, and they just wanted to beat you and strip you of your humanity because you spoke out of turn?

environment variables are a shit way to provide extensive configs imo, especially if you don't use docker....
@Dee For very debatable values of "learned"
@aeva@mastodon.social I have no concrete data on how other hardware handles this, but I would *expect* a well-designed board to either prevent backfeed, or detect it and warn. Or at the very least be designed in such a way that backfeed doesn't cause mystery issues.

Wow, what the fuck Gigabyte. Apparently when my motherboard gets power backfeed via a dodgy DisplayPort cable, it doesn't like, warn me about it, or have any sort of backfeed protection.
Instead, it just starts being unable to reboot without a hard power cycle, *and* starts reading the CPU temperature as permanently -55C (no, that's not a typo), causing it to completely disable the CPU fan regardless of actual temperature... which was up in the mid-90s.
On top of their (shitty) fan curve smoothing option only being exposed via a crappy Windows app and not via the EFI.... yeah, I ain't gonna be buying Gigabyte again 😐

@Dee Ah yes, time, a frequent subject of disagreement between me and the general universe.

me, looking at a clock: eh, it's still early, I'll eat in like 30 minutes
*subjective moments later*
me, looking at a clock: huh no wonder I'm hungry I should have eaten 2 hours ago

politics, cryptobunk
Goddamn neoliberals. https://e24.no/norsk-oekonomi/i/Po8z3b/roedt-faar-ikke-medhold-i-forbud-mot-kryptoutvinning
To summarize/paraphrase: PoW cryptocurrency mining won't be banned in Norway because they "wouldn't want to inhibit innovation" and "it's not their job as politicians to decide what is and isn't useful for society" (WTF??)
politics, cryptobunk
Also extremely depressing to see that said political parties have bought into the bullshit about how blockchains are super useful technology, when in reality they've been completely fundamentally broken for a decade by now

really hate how pervasive the concept of "stupidity" is in the collective conciousness. call people something else please
surely all the reasonable usage is covered by concepts like "negligence" or "ignorance" or "naïvité" or anything else that has more nuance and less ableism
also the inverse concept, "intelligence", is also not real thank you

Just deployed #pixie pages alpha v0.0.3-patch3!
It runs on https://pixie.homes, which has like 0 info on it yet oops, but you can already access the README for it's own repo through either:
https://homes.pixie.town (CNAME custom domain) or
https://main.pixie-pages.f0x.pixie.homes (automatic subdomain)
It's all still very early days but stuff kinda seems to work so that's neat!
all the source code can be found in https://git.pixie.town/f0x/pixie-pages

ableism and fiction
One of the things that gets me about a lot of sci fi is the idea that Disabled people won't exist in the future. Like, they aren't even considered. Aside from the implications that they've all been cured or whatever, or some eugenics bullshit, it's lazy writing to me. I mean think! Just for a second, think of all the possibilities for a future where people are equal. If science fiction is all about asking "What if?" I don't care for a story where the question if "what if there were no Disabled people," but rather, "what if everyone were on equal footing and treated like they have agency?"
@Dee I think it still sounds cool and futuristic tbh
