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.

@Zephyrmang Repeat after me: "if it's not publicly accessible, then it's not an archive, it's a storage unit"...

Looks like someone anonymously leaked Marble Madness II for arcade...
I am looking forward to the weirdo arcade collector meltdowns

@sofia@chaos.social Strange. Aren't all Firefox features supposed to work cross-platform?

Me, at the last day of #gpn20: "I didn't expect them to accept all three talks, after preparing and holding them all, I feel like I need a vacation."
Me, one day later: "I wonder what talks I'll submit for Congress this year"
@SuricrasiaOnline Closest thing is stuff like https://codeberg.page/ or https://main.pixie-pages.f0x.pixie.homes/ I suppose

there should be a free hosting service where you can only upload a single html file to your account, but pointing a domain to it is free
@sashafox Of course the more depressing aspect of this is that the offenders in question have probably learned to do that *because* they usually get away with it...
@sashafox Oops, -admitting, I'm clearly not entirely awake yet
@sashafox In fairness, that's a pretty effective strategy when you're dealing with folks who see no issue admitting with openly admitting to crimes on national TV 🙃

thinking about how one of my Gmail accounts is so old it was in the closed beta (back when you really did need to know someone to get an invite and they didn't just give em out)
back when the reaction to a new Google product was "fuck yes" and not "oh god why"

Standard procedure for kids that can't deal with school: referral to child psychiatry, neuropsychiatric assessment, neuropsychiatric diagnosis and medication.
Procedures almost never seen: (1) an attempt to understand the kid and adapt the environment to make things work, (2) holistic perspective involving the kid's entire world, not only school.
This is what #medicalisation looks like.

The internet having become a Space For Ads bothers me beyond words. Not only are we being bombarded with increasingly more desperate and manipulative drivel intended to get one to consume seventy flavors of the same worthless crap, the fact that ad companies have such say in what gets put on platforms to the point of censoring or removing completely normal and/or important words from our lexicon in the places they're most likely to be seen by people who need access to those words.
@clacke I think that "incorrecting" would be a better translation in this case?

how did we go from web apis being like "woah you can connect different services and use cool data from them to make cool stuff" to "here's an expensive api that literally just makes the first few letters in each word bold"

Today: evaluating Slate.js as a potential WYSIWYG editor for my website builder project.

I'm really happy I wasn't a traditional student and have always had a lot of interests besides academia cause holy shit
I was talking with some folks I know and
it's pretty boring to hang out with people who only have a singular interest.
