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.

@doot@glitterkitten.co.uk Seems to be having some technical issues unfortunately
@redoak Additional context for those unfamiliar: "affiliate marketing" generally lies somewhere inbetween "malware", "misleading marketing", and "pyramid schemes" depending on the exact subcommunity. You absolutely do not want to have anything to do with these folks.
re: caps
@doot@glitterkitten.co.uk @haskal That header image *immediately* gave me "scummy MLM" vibes

wild for corporations to imagine tech is neutral and apolitical when protecting their revenue streams always looks like "one subscription is for one Family, which we define as no more than Four Persons who share an IP address"

A thought. Here’s the thing about sharing pronouns on profiles, even if you think it’s obvious or think it’s not for you because you’re cis/straight.
Sharing your pronouns is using your privilege to normalize the practice of doing so. If more of us share our pronouns, it becomes a WE thing instead of a THEY thing.
This reduces the othering people who aren’t cis/straight experience every day.

So much of tech discourse asks us to be excited about the nexus, never wary of the torment.

(The Torment Nexus meme is honestly one of my favorite Internet Darmoks, right up there with Milkshake Duck.)
I regret to inform you that they've reduced their maximum page size from 500 to 100 items :|
@eloy @adrian The bigger issue I have with this approach is that Pixels are kind of... the easy and obvious one. They're widely supported by custom ROMs and easy to flash.
The real problem is how to repurpose all the *other* discarded devices at scale, the ones which don't have such a happy path, where people haven't known (and practiced) how to repurpose them for years already.

So I and the other folks at mastodon.mit.edu were offline for a couple of days because (so I’ve heard) a pipe froze and burst in the MIT student center, knocking out the server of the student group managing this until just now.
Which on the one hand, sure, that didn’t happen with the birdsite. But I had forgotten how strangely comforting it is to know exactly where your data is and who is managing it.
Love LCSC's "internal" API for their site, it's *so easy* to index their whole catalog including stuff like stock levels

PSA For Anyone On Meds:
Baja Blast contains grapefruit! Do not drink it! Grapefruit de-activates a wide variety of medications!
@aurynn ... strange, why did it linkify the second URL but not the first one?
