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.

Something I've been noticing lately, in a lot of different places, is that as economic conditions get worse, things start getting stolen more often.
I'm not talking about shoplifting here; I'm talking about people stealing from their own communities. I've noticed increased reports of this in a wide variety of communities, across countries.
Please be mindful of who you are stealing from, and don't let it be your community. And conversely, if you are still doing well financially, look for people in your community who are financially drowning and how you can help them.

more apps should have offline modes, where they operate using info they have cached
also, more apps should cache information they receive so it can be reused without constantly connecting to the internet

totally not unpopular opinion
strongmen are a danger to fediverse, we need lots of small servers run by nerds, punks, and queers, not big servers by wannabe techbros

One interesting/encouraging thing about alt text on the fediverse is that its widespread adoption was as much the result of culture-building as it was a matter of engineering. Yes, developers had to build the capacity to add alt text, but the comparative prevalence of alt text use is the result of people teaching and exhorting one another to make thus network accessible, not of some unaccountable ML system making statistical predictions about what an image depicts.

thinking about that time someone posted "More bug bounty programs should take after the Microsoft Security Response Center." and MSRC liked the post just for the original poster to point out that it was posted on april 1st for a reason

i repeat: now is absolutely the time to challenge people in your "community" who are taking advantage of crisis to give themselves positions of power, create cults of personality, and establish themselves as gatekeepers of support and resources. "but that's infighting and we don't have time for that" no fuck that. now, before they can leverage dynamics of scarcity so others have no choice but to rely on them.
@lalage Wel toch? Ik krijg gewoon regenvoorspellingen per dag en uur, alleen de radarbeelden hebben geen voorspelling
@helle I was going to recommend the place where I used to live, but it seems they have closed down 😕 https://dordtcentraal.nl/ondernemers-en-bedrijven/126196/

Bluesky users: For a mere $30million USD, we can distribute Bluesky to one other node
Fedi users: I put an instance on my car!

Happy to say that FreeCAD seems to have finally reached a point of usability for me (albeit with OpenTheme and its preference pack applied).
Nieuwsartikel dat Buienradar en co het KNMI aanklagen omdat ze een 'te goede' app hebben gemaakt. Dat vinden ze concurrentievervalsing.
Ik wist helemaal niet dat het KNMI een goede weerapp had, maar nu wel, dus nu gebruik ik die i.p.v. Buienradar. Bedankt, Buienradar!

I wish more militant atheists could sense the extent to which they have completely absorbed some of the worst aspects of cultural Christianity.

Reason #1 for why I should have become a lawyer instead of a programmer:
My most starred Github repository is my standard contract template.

I fucking hate washing machines design, why do you always need to guess in what little shitty section put your gel/detergent/powder, they are always marked with some cryptic ass symbols and you always guess wrong somehow

after several years in the making, I have finally published a blog post on decoupling capacitors and why you should probably stop using 100nF.

You can apply that everywhere: "Healthcare is good cause your workers come back faster", "schools are good cause you get better skilled workers".
People are not their economic value. Why do we accept that framing?

My big problem with this argument isn't that it's not true or that it's pragmatic. It is that we frame _rights_ that every human being has as up for debate, as something that needs to work for business.
