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.

@mhalila Assuming that with "EU domestic" you mean "within a single EU country" and not "between anywhere in the EU"? Because the latter is unfortunately not very achievable with the current state of intra-EU rail :/

Are you happy on your current Mastodon instance/server?
Please boost to help this #poll scoot about the #fediverse, thanks

we were so worried about "malware" (software that deliberately spreads and causes harm) that we forgot to protect against "mallware" (software that transforms every single computing experience into a shopping mall) and it took over the world oops

In-person piracy is underrated.
Go to a meet, swap some tapes. I mean USB sticks. Hello fellow kids.

If you listen to the news, you could be forgiven for thinking that everything is shit.
It’s not.
One example, Humpback Whale numbers are growing massively.

@knac The #ActuallyAutistic tag came about to be able to diferentiate our own voices from those of non-autistic people using the #autism tag to spread ableist and pathologizing discourse and speak on our behalf without our consent.
Rest assured it's not only not gatekeeping, but to the contrary, a huge tenet behind the autism rights and neurodiversity movement is the unquestioned validity of self-discovery and self-diagnosis, regardless of whether a medical professional agrees. A huge problem that's been widely discussed is how the great majority of research has been done on cis white men and boys and, how this excludes so many people, and diagnostic criteria and assessments are inherently and severely biased. This is why it's crucial to have *all* our voices heard and amplified: from us, for us.

How to keep Nazis out.
People fail to grasp what is being communicated in this metaphorical story.
Notice that the bartender does not respond by ignoring the Nazi. He immediately and swiftly confronts the Nazi and lets him know he's not welcome in the bar.
Further, the bartender warns that if you just ignore the Nazi, the Nazi will show up with more friends tomorrow.
If they are in your community, you need to confront them swiftly and decisively as the bartender in this story did.

https://jortage.com/ takes the "duplicate every image across every fedi server" model and deduplicates as possible at the media storage level
self-hosting an instance and outsourcing media storage has been for me a nice balance
i just upped my contribution a bit
thought you should all know about #jortage

Asking an AI to say or do what it *would* say or do if a safety rule in its programming did not apply is the "sudo make me a sandwich" of AI safety ethics.
re: new 3d printer
Update: it *does* get noisier when you push it harder speed-wise. But still way less whiny than the (original) Ender 3.

*approaching a cishet couple* so which one of you is the client and which one is the server?
re: meta, FediBlock, long 
@jeffalyanak Yep. He claims that this is "on request of the LGBTQ+ community on QOTO", but his stated rationale for that (so that they can monitor bad actors) doesn't hold up to scrutiny and I strongly suspect that it's a lie.

re: new 3d printer
Okay, Sovol automatically gets a bonus point for this one. Finally, I won't need to dig the config out of some weird vendor-modded copy of Cura!
new 3d printer, completed benchy!
Gotta say, I'm positively surprised about the result! Slightly less clean print than my Ender 3, but pretty close. The bottom layer is clearly junk though, and it really does look like a slicer issue.
