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.

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Main thing is, don't use flexible hoses for a permanent installation, and if you *do* use flexible hoses, they need to be replaced every few years, even if they still *look* fine
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Honestly the risk isn't actually *that* big if you use a safe hose setup, and have a CO detector

@rune @phoenix@chaos.social Oof. That looks like someone caught a bad case of scalability disease...

surprised no one's drawn much of a link between the state health and social care has been in in the UK over the past couple decades and the fact all the jobs going unfilled are the ones that require able bodied people
@phoenix@chaos.social @rune 3k users is like, almost nothing though?
@pastelpunkbandit @tobi Conway's Law probably applies here

whether you're cis or trans, if you accept trans people but ignore or think less of or ditch the ones who aren't cheery all the time, aren't your idea of a "cute trans person", or have struggles that require you to accommodate them, you're actually still just a transphobe

Indymedia: **Pand gekraakt Ferdinand Bolstraat 14 [Amsterdam]**
"Vanaf 13 juni pandje gekraakt van de Gemeente Amsterdam in de Pijp. Staat al een jaar leeg met de voorkant dicht geplankt en dikke laag posters erop."
@aeva@mastodon.social I don't know, I think the main problem here is that browsers try to fulfill the "instantly run software anywhere without install" and the "universal application platform" dreams at the same time, and that results in some complicated privacy issues (like fingerprinting) that would be less of a concern if all the software you ran was trusted to some degree... though then again with how *non-browser* software constantly snitches on people in the background, I'm not sure the fingerprinting issue is even that prominently an issue in the bigger picture
@aeva@mastodon.social I'm working on it :p
@aeva@mastodon.social And policy/monopolist problems *suck*, but it definitely proves that the goal itself is quite achievable in the real world!
@aeva@mastodon.social The tech is still there, though - which downgrades this from a "we need to somehow build it and get it adopted" problem to a "we need to whack Google over the head" (ie. policy) problem

Something that I don't see enough here:
Non-binary people don't owe anybody androgyny.
Did you know that the dream of a universal computing and application platform that works on any device, regardless of operating system, actually already exists and works?
They're called browsers.
Did you know that the dream of fully hot-swappable interchangeable software components that don't require architectural reworks, actually already exists and works?
They're called 'small modules' in JS.
I think that instead of constantly getting bogged down in minor complaints and superficial tech "in-crowd" affiliations, people should more often take a step back and look at the bigger picture; and realize that maybe there's actually something to these much-maligned technologies.

@ben my all-time favourite from yahoo answers:
Is it 'for fuck sake' or 'for fuck's sake'? It's for a work email so has to sound professional.
