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.

@wolfe @notjustbikes (Pretty sure this is the same thing that sank Hudson's Bay when they tried to expand to NL, assuming North American culture)
@wolfe @notjustbikes I mean, *so many* VC-funded startups just don't localize their ads at all, and even if they're translated, they're just literal translations of (usually) US cultural assumptions

Semi-public networks with 802.1x are bad. Why would Eduroam exclude people who are not students? It's not like students are using Eduroam exclusively for educational usage. Now there's also https://publicroam.nl
The only right solution is the one that I've seen deployed at CCC: validate the certificate, but accept all credentials. You can send traffic through an encrypted tunnel to protect against metadata analysis by fellow network users (but not the admin and rest of the internet).

RPGs are a scam because they hinge on the idea that gaining more life experience makes you more powerful instead of more tired.

I also invite folks to join their community Nextdoor and see the reasons their neighbors mention calling the police.
Y'all invoke the police for absolutely wiiild reasons -- mostly to manage your discomfort with and fear of the Other.

I think a lot about how the combination of queer people finding each other without realizing it, and the deep internalized transphobia we're all taught from birth combine into a horrible soup that causes us to do a lot of harm to each other, both before we're out to ourselves, and usually for a long time after.

you ever start reading a news article and then immediately realize 'i don't give a shit', and your life just improves immediately

hello fedi. I'm working on a game. can I get some cool gender neutral names. like your most nonbinary names. thank you
@StroomAfwaarts @JeanMarcvanTol Dat lijkt me inderdaad wel een prima idee. Of nog mooier: kook maaltijden, en betrek daar de scholieren (die daar interesse in hebben) zelf bij.

Range of progress for my avocado trees!
The first one started in a batch of three, but two of the seeds were not very good and started molding (so I tossed them). - Started doing this 23 October.
The successful seed got relocated to a bigger container of water, so it got to this point by 9 January.
@StroomAfwaarts @JeanMarcvanTol Hekken dicht lijkt me absoluut onwenselijk; we hoeven niet *nog* meer een gevangenis van scholen te maken.
Nog even los daarvan, dat hele idee van "gezond gewicht" is nogal... dubieus. Dat varieert namelijk van persoon tot persoon, is afhankelijk van heel veel verschillende factoren, en het is allerminst bewezen dat voeding daar zo'n directe invloed op heeft.
Zo is bijvoorbeeld BMI als gezondheidsindicator ook gewoon pseudowetenschap.

A linguistics professor was lecturing on the role of the double negative, noting that in some languages like Russian a double negative remains negative, while in other languages like French a double negative becomes positive. However, the professor observed, in no language in the world does a double positive become negative. From the back of the classroom a student replied, "Yeah. Right."

re: mention of ai & other bs
@kasesag@tech.lgbt @ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt Unfortunately cryptoshit has been going on for a decade and still hasn't stopped yet either :(
@KuJoe Right, but what I mean is that you often don't have to rush! It'll *say* that the code has rolled over, but the old code will usually still be valid for long enough that you can lazily enter it.
@KuJoe FWIW, a lot of sites have a grace period for this, so you can often enter the 'expired' code anyway :)

Angel: You want them to rest every night?
God: 8 hours. Completely unconscious and immobile.
Angel: And then they wake up completely refreshed?
God: No.
