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.

I wish there was a way for me to communicate to a certain demographic
That their enemy is not the immigrants, racial minorities or the "blue-hair-and-pronouns" crowd as they see us
It's the rich bros who are trying to turn all our jobs into gig economy style exploitation

@morgann Another member of the optical-drive-having club! 
@mynameistillian Ah, that's probably gonna be helpful for some other stuff, thanks!
It doesn't help much for my immediate problem, though - I am watching House and it has, uh, quite a few gory scenes, and if you skip the ones that have no gory scenes, there's no show left :P
@elilla (Obviously I did wait for the parcel delivery guy with a handtruck because fuck making them carry all that shit by hand)
@elilla Lidl had a particularly strong version of those racks for 20 EUR a few years ago (much less flimsy than the typical 25 EUR fare here!) with, unwisely, flat-rate 5 EUR shipping. So I ordered like 10 of those racks at once, and they ended up shipping me all 250kg of it by parcel mail.
I've pretty much had no storage problems since, and just occasionally pull out a box from the stack and set it up

I wish there was something like SponsorBlock but for gore scenes in TV shows

If you don't in the WordPress ecosystem, you may not understand how HUGE this post is
https://joost.blog/wordpress-leadership/
Joost is probably the second biggest figure in the entire WP ecosystem, only after Matt M himself. He is the biggest voice from the "Enterprise WordPress" world.
This is not anymore open source contributors complaining about governance. This is the Business WordPress demanding a leadership change and suggesting it either happens or a hard fork, backed by big business, is on the way.
gambling-related
Watching Coffeezilla's latest video on CSGO gambling, and it strikes me how much honesty there is from a lot of the people involved. I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't that.

You ever see someone say something else and go "oh, so other people go through this too, huh?"

chaos grumbling
@joepie91 same, i was really disappointed about how much of the program was “ai” related, and not in a critical way. not to mention that so-called “ai” is also deeply anti-hacker. they are closed systems owned by corporations. the only “ai” talks i want to see at something like ccc are about how to burn it to the ground.

kink/sex, genuine question, trauma?
is me being into older stronger men somehow connected to the fact that my father is a cold abusive authoritarian asshole and thus i need to compensate with a figure that would actually love me or is it just speculative bs that pathologizes kinks
hacker culture grumbling
@rtn@chaos.social Right, but most communities don't present themselves as being ethical (accidentally or otherwise), that's the main difference.
There's a lot of talk about how hackers care so much about a better world, including from many of the hackers absolutely not living those ideals, and it just isn't accurate.
hacker culture grumbling
@rtn@chaos.social I mean, I've been doing the same, but part of me feels like that *shouldn't* be the answer here...

I felt a tingling in my toes. I looked down and my toenails were bright red.
Uh, what. I pushed the game controller stick the other way. Back to normal.
I looked up at the TV. The character editor in “Battle Shell” lets you change *everything* from species to earring length, but I had never noticed the “player” checkbox in the edit screen before; I’d reflexively toggled it to see what it did. To be fair I skipped reading the release notes for the update that downloaded overnight.
I adjusted the hair slider. Oooh that felt weird. I sat forward and long red hair fell down my chest, from where it had been bunched up behind my head. Hmmn, chest… could it be?
It could. I am gonna be here for the /day/.
Published a small new #JavaScript library, resettable-defer: https://www.npmjs.com/package/resettable-defer
@samueldr Yep, that matches my observations. It's 100% a "caring at all" problem.
