Echt, hoe de fuck zijn die energieslurpers nog steeds een ding voor de kleinste wissewasjes terwijl er (ook door groenbedrijven) steen en been geklaagd wordt over de energiekosten
politics
@bram Liberal "respectability" politics are a hell of a drug.
Good morning! A post just rolled across my fedi-timeline saying not to post about politics on Mastodon, so I'm here to remind you that:
1 "politics" refers to decision-making about how to live together in groups
2 choosing to not participate in political discussion is saying you support the status quo, and is a political stance
3 abstaining from politics because you feel safe from its impacts is a privilege and a choice to abandon your more vulnerable neighbours
Been trying to keep an open mind about Post but, yeesh, it has a lot of warning signs right out of the gate, and I don't mean beta bugs. Comments run by OpenWeb? Investment by Marc Andreessen? No way to know who is reposting your content? No way to moderate comments on your posts?
It doesn't seem buggy, it seems structurally unsound in ways that will be hard to fix.

I'm starting to see this in the wild on the fediverse now. I figured I'd see it before long.
If you are currently using these so-called "fonts", please stop doing so. Use Unicode characters for the purposes they are designed for. Breaking screen readers doesn't make you cool.

Some further "bug fixes and performance improvements" later (not even joking!), it's running even better :)
Oh, and I also did a writeup a while ago of how the tech behind this project works, and what the 'bigger picture' behind the project is: https://seekseek.org/technology
Aaron Swartz, suicide
This should have actually put behind a CW, so here I did. This would also be a good candidate for a quoted post/toot.
"Aaron Swartz would have been 36 today. …"

- No alt text (request) = no boost.
- Boosts OK for all boostable posts.
- DMs are open.
- Flirting welcome, but be explicit if you want something out of it!
- The devil doesn't need an advocate; no combative arguing in my mentions.
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.
