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.

@julialuna@chaos.social That honestly just sounds like a bad/ancient one? I have a flow-through water heater and I've never had this issue, nor does my thermostatic tap(?) have trouble with it.

jobs in neurotypical society, wtf
TIL about "auticon" which apparently is the company that employs autistic people in IT at significantly below-market salaries in order to then sell their services as extraordinary IT consultants with unique cognitive strengths 🤮
Like, if your employees are so unique, they should be paid above market, not below.
And they market themselves as "helping", sounds more like exploiting the fact that some of these people have nowhere else to go.

fediblock monads dot online
just a reminder after seeing some folks' reaction to the newest bit of fashjacketing or whatever that's been going around
lots of smug tankie takes and very online hostility that its userbase passes off as leftist action or something and it's never gotten any better over the years
defederating from them is guaranteed to reduce your tl's rancid vibes and increase the average quality of visible discussions

talking to us tech journalists is great cause you'll pitch them a story and theyre really into it but then they disappear for half a week, just to return and be like "sorry i was a bit busy i ended up in two shootings"

yo holy shit Dead Cells added a ton of accessibility and assist features
- UI tweaks / graphics tweaks
- color filters
- you can give yourself extra lives
- you can adjust trap damage and turn on an auto-attack to reduce how many inputs are necessary to play
- a TON of control tweaks
AND they said they won't disable achievements if you turn any of the assist features on: "We are not going to make it possible for people to play the game and then take achievements away from them."
fuck YES. this RULES.
@Natanox@chaos.social @aurora@social.bau-ha.us I mean, the problem isn't really with the vehicles themselves, so much as it is with them being privately-operated for-profit businesses that invest precisely 0 into infrastructure for them, expecting society to eat the cost and in some cases even expecting cities to build rental-vehicle-only(!) parking spaces with public money.
If these things were designed and deployed in a way where it didn't interfere with sidewalk accessibility or other use of public space, *and* it didn't end up with for-profit corporations outsourcing their operational costs to public money, it would be fine!

I wonder if the people putting those "live" chat nag boxes (with a shitty chatbot) on their online shops, realize that they immediately lose me as a customer the moment something bleeps in my face
@maia Usually followed by 30 minutes of empty threats to arrest me but never actually doing so, because I have *technically* offered to show them my ID, I just didn't have it on me so they'd have to come along to my house, and that technically satisfies my obligation under the law
... with eventually a resigned sigh, going "fine, just tell me your name then"
@maia One of my favourites in NL is the mandatory ID law, which precisely zero cops actually know the contents of, and it's always really funny to watch a cloud come over their face as I recite the contents to them and they realize that shit, I actually know my rights, and they don't know the law well enough to refute it
