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.

Wij eisen een einde aan misleidende frames. NOS, Wees Eerlijk! Bij persvrijheid hoort verantwoordelijkheid. Zaterdag 31 mei 12.00 uur: bezetting mediapark voor het NOS-kantoor.
Nieuwssites en kranten e.d. hebben nogal de neiging om de oorzaak van incidenten en rampen helemaal weg te laten uit de berichtgeving, waardoor je geen verbanden kunt leggen.
En als je ze daar dan op aanspreekt, dan is het excuus "ja maar de oorzaak weten we niet met zekerheid op het moment van publicatie".
Waarom publiceer je er dan uberhaupt over?! Wat is de toegevoegde waarde van je nieuwsartikel voor de maatschappij dan nog, als je zelf ook nog geen idee hebt wat er aan de hand is of welke lessen je daaruit kunt trekken?
@WeirdWriter I'm trying to work out where the issues are based on your edit, but I'm having some trouble.
I'm seeing labels with checkbox elements nested inside them for answers in the regular test mode (despite there also being a custom span for visual effect), for example, and the WAVE evaluator claims that these are correctly associated.
I'm also not quite sure what 'the navigation area' refers to - I thought you meant the menu on the left where you can navigate between questions, but according to Firefox's (accessibility) tree those all seem to be hyperlinks with recognized label texts.
Am I looking in the right place, or am I missing something?
uspol, autism
RFK Jr does not genuinely believe that they will find "the cause of autism" by September, nor is there any intention to do so. They understand perfectly well that that's not possible.
It's just a pretext so that when they make up some eugenics bullshit in September, it'll sound more credible because now people will believe that it came from "science".

I understand people might need formal diagnosis for a number of reasons. I do want to share this however as a note of warning, that a record of neurodivergence can be weaponized by governments.

@JosKleverWebSupport @ipstenu@tech.lgbt I mean, this is not the kind of thing where one can afford to be any less than crystal clear about the intention, so "saying A but meaning B" seems in and of itself like a significant safety risk.

lmfaooo turns out the "software terminated" phone number from the ps1 modchip detection still works and while they do take a bit to find the info they actually still tell you to remove the modchip when calling them

“Separate the art from the artist” is an idea from literary criticism: it’s about giving you permission to talk about what the art _does_ without having to argue about whether the artist _intended_ that effect.
It’s not a moral framework! It doesn’t say anything about how to feel about buying a product, art or otherwise, that supports creators with odious opinions.
It’s not incongruent to be totally subscribed to the Death of the Author and also not want to buy any Harry Potter stuff.
hot take, social media
I think social-media-as-a-service has done far more damage to society than even public commentators recognize; because it has deprived an entire generation of learning both how to build community yourself, and why that is an important and necessary thing to know.

END OF 10
"Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025.
Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer.
But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?
If you bought your computer after 2010, there's most likely no reason to throw it out. By just installing an up-to-date GNU/Linux operating system you can keep using it for years to come.
Installing an OS may sound difficult, but you don't have to go it alone! With any luck, there are people in your area ready to help!"
@Timo_Micro Sowieso een beetje een sigaar uit eigen doos, nadat de (vorige) overheid al dit soort verantwoordelijkheden naar het gemeentelijk niveau verschoven heeft...

Something that keeps bothering me is how there's seemingly no good answers in UI design.
There's high variation in whether people find light or dark themes easier to read. Familiar UI is easier to adopt, but restricts the ability to experiment with new UI mechanisms that could exceed familiarity's benefit in how much easier something becomes to use.
And so the logical conclusion of those sorts of things would be that "UIs should be swappable" but then you just end up at a different version of the problem: having a generic high-level API restricts the experimentation you can do with a UI, yet allowing direct access to internals interferes with long-term maintenance and reliability.
It's immensely frustrating. There's just two evils to pick from at every turn.

i think instead of machine algorithms controlled by corpos we should go back to using tags or creating things like playlists but for people you want to follow

Op zondag 27 april geven we weer demonstraties van de radiotelescoop Dwingeloo. Op het programma staat altijd live-signaal van onze 'huispulsar' B0329+54, meestal een ver sterrenstelsel, een supernovarestant of gewoon de zon. De ruimte is beperkt, dus reserveren is nodig, via https://www.camras.nl

If anyone had a 90s HD Camera/Camcorder lying around, please let me know, I'm looking for one (something like a Sony HDW-700A).
HDW-730 and up are already released in the 2000s as far as I can see.
