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.

And I get it. Everything’s so shit you WANT to believe there are folks out there doing what they say they do… that they’re on your side, fighting Big Tech, protecting your privacy… I get it because – fuck it – I want to believe that. And yes, there are folks like that too… and they’re usually struggling to get by and rarely get any funding or support from anyone…

i think we should start a totally innocent "guillotine sharpening day"
no displays of politics, just appreciators publicly celebrate guillotines and their maintenance together. nothing illegal just a joyous festival for all the family
but we will KNOW what it means. and all the big league execs looking out their office windows? they will KNOW who those glinting blades are for
@Vierkantor @categorille@tech.lgbt Oh yeah, it's definitely *possible* with a cheapo option (like the $5 240V irons or the USB irons), it's just more frustrating because the heat is distributed poorly, and you'll eat through tips reaaaal quick
@categorille@tech.lgbt @Vierkantor Unsolicited recommendation: get a Pinecil, TS100 or TS80 as your soldering iron, if you can afford it. They're pretty affordable, and are *so much* easier to use than the $5 AliExpress irons, especially when you're still learning. Likewise, get some reputable solder if you can afford it, because there's huge quality (and frustration :p) differences between good and bad solder.

agitprop + dealing with spam
problem: I get invited to Whatsapp crypto spam groups all the time 😔
opportunity: finally, an audience for my insufferable shit!

I wish there was a tab on everyone's profile where you could review the interactions you had with that person.

The CEO of the after school program I work at gets over $100,000 per month from the parents of the kids I watch and I get *checks notes* $1,300 of it...... I am going to start biting people
@DuckForTheDuck Juh, maar ik ben begonnen bij de reverse search van Yandex, en die kan prima met dat soort dingen omgaan :)
@IceWolf @crashglasshouses@kolektiva.social @thufie That's the thing though, Cloudflare has been consistently a) overexaggerating the likelihood of getting hit by a DDoS (it's not actually that likely, even today), and b) failing to mention that there are plenty of non-MITM high-capacity DDoS mitigation providers that existed long before Cloudflare did.
Basically, they used fear marketing to convince people you can't live on the web without their services.
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Isn't that just futurism

@evelyn
I think about this _a lot_.
We need to imagine a better future if we want to achieve it, and probably it is not much about technology, yet technology tends to be the first thought.

#OpenStreetMap has one tile rendering server for all of USA, and that server can no longer keep up with peak US traffic.
If you, or your company,are interested in hosting a rendering node in the US (or elsewhere), please contact us.

the entire concept of a credit score is one of the world's most fucked up and horrific things and the only reason it exists is because people wanted to implement a rigid caste system and this was just the easiest way
@IceWolf @thufie Oh yeah and it probably helped that they literally just hired most of the people who might've been publicly critics of them, at one point a truly staggering amount of activist-y people I knew were employed by Cloudflare, and of course didn't want to hear anything about the sketchiness of the company
