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
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.

i am going to dig into google-written cmake files, if i don’t come back you know where i went
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev It's basically exploiting early-career enthusiasm at industrial scale, neatly bypassing tricky topics like ethics in the process - I hate capitalism in general, but Google gets some special hate for this, and basically snatching such people away from the commons
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev (Which then of course becomes an ingrained part of the culture, the idea that only CS students can be trusted to do stuff right, even though the opposite is true in practice, if anything)
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev It makes a lot more sense when you consider that Google's hiring strategy is basically "hire grad students right out of school" to have a dependable and predictable source of vaguely-knowledgeable new employees who don't ask too many questions and have no idea what they are actually worth

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev (hello object capabilities)
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev I pick option C: finally bite the fucking bullet and actually fix foundational security issues in modern systems in a way that *doesn't* boil down to "taking agency away from users"

@cadxdr but also abolish the way the education system operates because it’s a stress/trauma generator

In the US, companies are under no obligation to honor any request that they stop sending you physical mail. Send them as many requests in as varied a format as you like; they can ignore each and every one.
EXCEPT. If you say "please stop, this mailing made me horny", they are required by federal law to immediately block your address. It doesn't have to be honest or sincere; just saying "your ad turned me on, and I don't like it" is enough. 🌈⭐️

@schratze Same thing for all the pseudo-romance filler in what could've otherwise been good fictional shows, especially in the US. Lots of abusive behaviour and people unable (and unwilling) to deal with jealousy, always the same tired "oh no two people like the same other person" trope, and never any capability to deal with it like an adult. And often even an explicit "yes I know that was shitty of me, but I loved you, what can I say"

I kind of don't like this thing that happens in many sitcoms where characters are complete assholes to each other and prank each other and shout at each other 90% of the time and then they shoehorn in stone heartfelt moments where they get all lovey dovey with each other and you're supposed to get the impression that actually, they really loved each other all this time

"The behavior of the police at Robb Elementary is only shocking if you are committed to a mythic notion of what policing entails. The “thin blue line” does not separate society from chaos. It instead separates those empowered by the state to uphold racial capitalism with violence... In the face of centuries of evidence exposing what the work of policing actually entails - and does not entail - the true ideologues are those committed to policing as a solution."
