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.

interviewer: can you explain the big gap in your employment history?
me: can you explain the big gap between what your CEO gets paid and what your workers get paid?
@specter This is one of my favourites, personally:
@f0x At what point does it just become one big intermittently-connected polycule, though?
it's not "data hoarding", it's opportunistic preservation

reminder that the economy is artificial and every death due to lack of housing, food, or medical care is an act of political violence

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 😐
food
@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
