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.

Meta about new users on here I guess
@Shrigglepuss @CaribenxMarciaX Pretty much yeah (even though I realize that almost every problem is going to have like one of the same three blockers listed)
Meta about new users on here I guess
@Shrigglepuss @CaribenxMarciaX I do wonder if the size of the problem could be reduced by having some kind of "start here to find a summary of every discussion we've already had 10 times, and why this hasn't been solved yet" page (that explicitly calls out whose decisionmaking is blocking it too)
@freakazoid My phone is not a Pixel, no.
@Ninji 🤔 That just sounds like insurance with worse coverage

It's been so long since I had my needs considered without ridicule (assuming they ever were) that I've entirely stopped considering them myself. I don't know what my needs even are at this point.
While walking my dog earlier I managed to come up with the following: be actively included (since everyone's subconscious tendency seems to be to exclude me) and have my participation be acknowledged. In short, I just want to feel like my presence is appreciated.

My annual call for actually having a good fucking winter holiday
@zarel I haven't, but there's exactly the problem described in that thread: it's a non-deterministic failure and I can't just keep it running in safe mode forever.
(My phone is not a Pixel, it's an Oukitel, and it seems to be manufacturer-independent)
I am clearly not the only one with this problem: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/144103327/unable-to-answer-calls-when-phone-rings?hl=en
So I just caught my Android in the process of breaking; it went off, made no noise, "getting called" animation was showing on the screen, but swiping up did nothing, it just bounced back down and didn't pick up the call. Didn't matter how often I tried.
So yeah, it's definitely just the phone app that's fucked.

It's amazing how many services will go 🚨 we couldn't charge your debit card so you have to add a different one asap! 🚨
Or I could just put more money on that one and click a button to have you try again. If the button existed.
Or at least click a button to stop you whining until the actual expiry date comes and let me use the service I have actually already paid for in peace.

I've done a/b tests a few times on different social networks, and no one can compete with yall's voraciousness for clam facts. It is remarkable. Keep up the great work being curious about the weird little wonders of our world! (:)

There was a weird tension at the HEMA stationary department yesterday…
vague meta
We seriously need to get better at repairing harm, as a community.

asking for instance to possibly move to 
I genuinely think I need to move instances oh my God.
What I want is a queer instance that speaks somewhat-mostly English or German, has a cool purple web skin (meemu-purple I love you), preferably runs glitch and has a high character limit, and doesn't take 20 minutes to upload an image without erroring out 5 times in the process. Also admin keeps up with fediblock stuff and hates threads

Happy 37th anniversary of the Max Headroom Incident, to those who celebrate.
@HeyLaiverd Er zouden misschien omstandigheden zijn waaronder ik dat wel zou doen, maar zeker niet van een schimmig bedrijf als 23AndMe waar je geen idee hebt wat er met je medische gegevens gebeurt.

Here's the email I just sent to #ScienceFriday explaining why I will no longer listen to them.

dreams
I wonder why so many of my dreams very specifically involve me floating above the ground and moving around that way, not very high, like maybe a meter or so
@technomancy I already don't have message editing now so I probably wouldn't miss that 🙃
Thanks!
