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.

"Weird things engineers believe about Web development" by Brian Birtles https://birtles.blog/2024/01/06/weird-things-engineers-believe-about-development/
I've worked on both a browser team and as a web developer; this largely jives with my experience.
A lot of web developers have very dogmatic views about "you should do things like this, not like this," but working on a browser, I honestly feel like it's way more nuanced if you actually understand how browsers work. Which is often a mess of hacks and quirks that only make sense if you've been there
It's not scope creep, it's scope adjustment

I paid the exorbitant £19.99 fee for in-flight wifi so now you all get to see this special mile-high mood

By the way. Please don't just "cut the mold off" of things like jam, bread and cheese.
I have spent some time learning the ways of fungi and when you can see the mold? That means the entire mass is full of mycelium (basically thread
-like "mushroom roots") the fruiting or the fuzzy part means that the fungi has consumed all the nutrients and is ready to move on.
The whole thing is shot, please don't eat it OK? Some fungi create poisons as by products. And it won't taste right.

re: sourcehut downtime
@jacksonchen666 I have to admit that "my infrastructure is redundant, you just need to use Tor" is one I haven't really heard before :p
re: sourcehut downtime
@jacksonchen666 The source repo for your uptime page is down :p

Still thinking about this bus I rode from Heathrow Airport last night
For the unaware, I want to point out that it takes about 1.5 hours to fly from Heathrow to Glasgow

Het besef van Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer, tot zijn schrik, hoe eenvoudig het was in de jaren 30 en nu dus nog steeds is om in slaap te worden gesust door de traagheid aller dingen en naar een #dictatuur te worden geleid. Hoe gemakkelijk het is om je schouders op te halen bij kleine veranderingen die je niet persoonlijk raken, totdat het moment komt wanneer ze je wel raken en wanneer het te laat is om je er nog zorgen over te maken. #NeoFascisme
@Ninji That entire setup looks like it's seen better days

Hi fedi! @darius and I are digging into our governance research, and we have a great starter list of server admins to potentially talk to about governance and administration models and challenges, but *very unofficially*, I’d love to hear suggestions, too.
We’re looking at active servers ranging from ~100-2,500 users with some flex on either end of the range, and we’re building our list with an eye on structural, geographic, demographic (along multiple axes), and linguistic diversity.
