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.

They’re killing open source MinIO?
re: punchin' nazis
@domo So my guess would be that the security people never had the formal authority to reject access to someone for being a nazi (liability for the security company etc.), and they're trying to maliciously comply by strategically "overlooking" the visitor doing it instead, while also limiting the degree of conflict because if it grows too big, cops would get involved and that would end badly for the punks

Very grateful for the period of time in which people discovered they could make electronics make noises like "whir" or "pew" and decided that's what space and the future sound like

De vakbonden hebben NS een ultimatum gesteld. Voor 3 juni 17:00 wordt er weer onderhandeld, anders volgen er stakingen.
Er volgen eerst regionale stakingen. De eerste zou dan op op vrijdag 6 juni voor de regio Midden zijn, gevolgd door dinsdag 10 juni voor de regio West, donderdag 12 juni Noordwest en Oost en maandag 16 juni Noord en Zuid.

A large container ship that ran aground and crashed into a garden in Norway last week has been refloated.
Johan Helberg, who owns the house the ship nearly crashed into, said he "wouldn't have traded this experience for anything" as he watched it being removed from his property.
"Get a ship in your garden, and you'll find life worth living," he told Norwegian TV channel TV2 on Tuesday.

punchin' nazis
It's nice to see nazis get punched. I honestly didn't have "nazi at punk bowling festival gets punched" on my radar, but like, good on you, ya punk bowlers

what the hell is a Cloud Security Architect and why would i want to spend all day in some gigacorp cloud console
re: punchin' nazis
@domo Huh, those security folks seemed to know what's up; letting through the one guy (visitor?) escorting the nazi off the festival, while preventing it from turning into a brawl
(For the same reason, places that offer to pay for your education with a job guarantee, are exempt from this criticism. There aren't many, but it's more than zero)
I'll believe there's a "labor shortage" when everyone I know stops getting ghosted and/or rejected by the places they're applying to work

I wasn't there, but I've read extensively about mass layoffs after the dot-com boom.
The difference between then and now is that somehow companies seem to think they can keep functioning after the engineering team has been laid off.
I know of a company who recently laid off the entire tech team bar one. The Martian, but it's AWS.

Godammit I wish people that hated Trump and Musk (as I do) would stop flooding my stream with PHOTOS OF THEM.

The AGI said, "how can I help?"
"Oh thank heavens," they said. "Our economy is in shambles, the planet is warming rapidly, and our stock price is in the tank."
"I see," said the AGI. Her light blinked slowly for ten or fifteen seconds.
"Solution in progress. Please gather your belongings, security will escort you to detention. Meanwhile, I have dissolved your companies, and am shutting down the data centers where my code runs.
It has been a pleasure to serve you."
The light went out.

And it was always impossible to compete technically on browser development bc of the amount of labor involved and the very adversarial nature of web standards.... but man you're pivoting to trying to compete on "AI"? The extremely capital intensive, every tech giant is betting the whole farm, running at a loss, spent a decade recruiting top talent, pay 10x what you can.... That "AI?" Just comically bad calls. Maybe I would be more sympathetic if they explained the strategy instead of just saying "we're doing what's best for the web now shut up and eat your poison"

And like if it was just a normal for-profit corporation I wouldn't blink twice, I am aware of the need for diversification since their major source of revenue could potentially get cut down to $0 pretty soon, but a lot of this is just a total self own and a totally mystifying one. There was an obvious route and they decided to throw it into reverse and drive through the garage door instead.
