Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
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
Feel free to flirt, but if you want to actually meet up and/or do something with me, lewd or otherwise, please tell me explicitly or I won't realize :) I'm generally very open to that sort of thing!
Further boundaries: boosts are OK (including for lewd posts), DMs are open. But the devil doesn't need an advocate; I'm not interested in combative arguing in my mentions. I am however happy to explain things in-depth when asked non-combatively.
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.

does anyone know anyone at rushordertees.com? I need to report a critical security vulnerability.
@hllizi I don't think that fully explains it either - NFTs dropped hilariously in value within a matter of months and that still persisted for quite a few years
(Not saying that my arguing shifted the public opinion, rather that's just my time reference point)
Like, for comparison, with the cryptocurrency grift I'd been arguing against it for like 7 years (ie. since it became a Problem) before I noticed the broader public opinion shifting? Whereas with LLMs and the like it seems to have only taken 2 years or so

I strongly feel like capitalism has run out of useful things to innovate and there's nothing left tech companies can come up with other than scams
I am cautiously optimistic about how many people are seeing through the AI hype - I've (consciously) been through a few tech hype cycles and I've never seen folks catch on to the grift this quickly before

@joepie91 this is something even larger: it was for example one difference between the Greens and the Pirates in Germany:
- The Greens pay the travel and part of the expenses of representatives elected by district groups to go to country-level meetings.
- The Pirates expected them (in the beginning, I don’t know the current state) to come without payment.
The Pirates were initially surprised why mostly well-off men were present at the larger meetings.

"Consent Mode is off by default" is like the unofficial motto of the tech industry. https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/15/24130832/limitless-ai-pendant-wearable-meetings
(Ik geef ook altijd aan dat ik op eigen initiatief dingen zoek om financieel te steunen, en ook dat is niet genoeg om ze te laten verdwijnen, want ze willen die verkoopbonus graag hebben...)
Ook niet heel gek, als je bedenkt dat dit soort werving tegenwoordig uitbesteed wordt aan marketingbedrijfjes die verkopers op provisie-basis op pad sturen... dat zijn al lang geen betrokken vrijwilligers meer.
Ik ben intussen toch echt wel een beetje klaar met hoe er tegenwoordig aan werving gedaan wordt voor institutionele goede doelen. Het begint ondertussen energieverkoper-vormen aan te nemen qua opdringerigheid. Nee betekent nee, en er hangt niet voor niets een sticker bij de deurbel...

WEEK 29: Both sides of the Golden Gate Bridge are currently shut down.
(That last bit is not applicable to Matrix, to be clear)
Corollary: if you have a governance problem, and you create a Foundation... you now have *two* governance problems, and one of them is the board
I really wish more people would realize that "non-profit foundations", as a concept, are fundamentally designed for abled white cis men and the personal resources that come with that, and that unless you *very actively* subvert this, that is the bias that you will be perpetuating in any sort of project or group that is governed by one, regardless of what your code of conduct says
FOSS "foundations" in general
Every time I see some sort of 'Foundation' anywhere in FOSS announce 'representatives' and 'elections' I check whether they have done the work to make the process inclusive, and every. single. time. the answer is "no"
subtoot, matrix
No details on how the Foundation intends to materially support socio-economically disadvantaged elected board members, of course...
They only mention that they will seek to accommodate remote participants (which is good!) but nothing about how they will make it possible for people to do the job to begin with (like who pays for travel costs, whether there is financial support, what to expect from the board meetings exactly...)

Parent-child relationships
