- they/them, he/him, whatever, it's not like I have any idea either 🙃
Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
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
Feel free to flirt, but if you want to actually meet up and/or do something with me, lewd or otherwise, please tell me explicitly or I won't realize :) I'm generally very open to that sort of thing!
Further boundaries: boosts are OK (including for lewd posts), DMs are open. But the devil doesn't need an advocate; I'm not interested in combative arguing in my mentions. I am however happy to explain things in-depth when asked non-combatively.
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.

@jonny seeing things coming just makes it worse when we're right

@jonny can we just say we've been really annoyed how none of the debates about mozilla's now-gone funding model we've been in over the last ten years, led to any way to convince the org to pivot? bleh
@rune Or well. Upon further reflection probably more like a 90/10 percent chance really, in favour of the meat grinder, given how this stuff is handled in most places
@rune It's a 50/50 chance honestly, it might be either a pedestrian crossing or a meat grinder depending on whether the local authority has ever heard of the concept of infrastructure safety

Where do bad rainbows go?
They go to prism.
It's a light sentence, but it gives them time to reflect.

Dunno, if people jaywalk so much in a place that you have to put up a sign forbidding it maybe that means you forgot to install the pedestrian infrastructure.
Sven Slootweg

You may feel compelled to put up signs like these if your pedestrian infrastructure is very bad
@rune There is no pedestrian crossing in these pictures, you must've uploaded the wrong ones

I like how if you select streaming in hi-res lossless from Apple Music, you get a popup saying "yeah you won't actually notice any difference unless you have a proper external DAC".

Ran across the phrase "growth at the rate of trust" (h/t @kawaiipunk), and it summarizes my feelings about a lot of things (social media included) so well

Een mysterie met de elektrificatie van de Maaslijn is nog niet opgelost. Op dit moment rijden de treinen tussen Venlo en Tegelen onder bovenleiding die permanent op de Duitse spanning van 15 kV staat. Dat kan straks niet meer als er elektrische treinen op de Maaslijn rijden, die onder de Nederlandse 1,5 kV spanning rijden. Hoe dat opgelost gaat worden is al jaren een groot geheim.

I don't know who needs to hear this but you are still allowed to have fun and see friends and eat a slow dinner and celebrate things, even while "all this" is going on. Make your five calls, be part of a protest, pick your piece of "the work" each week but also make sure to nourish yourself and your networks because we are going to continue needing each other.

I was raised homophobic, transphobic, and racist. I got over it. (full disclosure: I am a work in progress)
"They're a product of their time, they can't help it." is rubbish. We are all the product of our time. Staying there is a choice.

got a special kind of hate for services that do not require ID to make an account, but demand one when you change your name. y'all know what you're doing and it isn't cute.

I have run out of books to read again!
Looking for recommendations for queer sci-fi in the broadest sense (other than Becky Chambers - I've already read all of that), particularly that which tends toward a hopeful view.
It doesn't have to be happy-go-lucky, I just don't like the "everything is doomed and misery forever" thing that especially post-apocalyptic stories tend to do.
(Bonus points if you know where to buy a DRM-free ePub for it)
