I had a very interesting convo with an older non-tech person about centralized vs. decentralized social media because I told them one of my interests was independent social media when they asked.
They brought up BlueSky and asked my opinion, which I gave, and then they asked me specifically about the challenge of moderation and safety in the decentralized space.
From there, we had an extended convo about those issues, with me using my history with PV, the lessons I learned, and how I'm applying them to my projects.
It's the first time in a while someone interrogated my thoughts who wasn't involved in the tech industry, so I used it as an opportunity to practice explaining with as little tech speak as possible.
In the end, they were impressed with my context of the challenges of decentralized social media because I made it easy to understand, so they felt like they could make a contribution to the convo despite not having my technical background.
We didn't agree on everything but found common ground because we understood the core of the problem.
It was very encouraging.
also I would like to once again praise the concept of Bad Gamer Jail
if some heuristic thinks you're likely to give other people a shitty experience if they play with you, you are placed into sessions with other shitty experience causing players
if the heuristic is correct, people who aren't ruining the fun get matched with other people who aren't ruining the fun
and if it's wrong, the worst thing that can happen is exactly what would happen if the system wasn't in place
new update from nintendo: they responded to kotaku's reach out for comment on them C&Ding dolphin from steam
they said, and i quote: "This emulator illegally circumvents Nintendo’s protection measures and runs illegal copies of games. Using illegal emulators or illegal copies of games harms development and ultimately stifles innovation"
anyways nintendo continues to think all emulators are illegal, keep pirating their shit
ableism
I wish more people would realize that the whole "nobody has any attention span anymore, just look at Tiktok" thing is ableist rhetoric. It's extremely closely related to the (false) claims of "overdiagnosis" and "epidemic" of ADHD.
It's also something that has been claimed for generation after generation, every time something more visual and/or accessible came into existence.
mastodon meta
is there good documentation anywhere about what mastodon's privacy and blocking options actually do, both as a user and as a admin? like, the interactions between AUTHORIZED_FETCH and domain blocking is kinda complicated, and i don't even know how user-level domain blocking differs from admin-level defederation of a domain, if at all. thinking about trying to write this if it doesn't already exist.

Übergriffiges Verhalten bzgl. Dating
Als sie das im Freundeskreis erzählt hat, fanden das alle super süß und romantisch und der Typ tat ihnen Leid.
Ich war die Einzige, die sein Verhalten übergriffig und scheiße fand. Er hat ihr "Nein" an keinem Punkt akzeptiert. Er hat übrigens erst dann aufgegeben, ja, ratet mal... Genau, als sie gesagt hat, dass sie bereits einen Freund hat (Was nicht stimmt).
Können wir bitte aufhören so einen Kackmist zu romantisieren?
Übergriffiges Verhalten bzgl. Dating
Freundin von mir arbeitet in einer Bar und ein Gast hat deutliches Interesse an ihr ausgedrückt und ihr seine Nummer gegeben. Sie hat ihm sofort gesagt, dass sie kein Interesse hat.
Die Woche danach kommt der Typ wieder und fragt sie, wieso sie ihn nicht angerufen hat. Sie sagt ihm erneut, dass sie kein Interesse hat.
Die Woche danach hat sie frei und der Typ war wieder da und hat nach ihr gefragt. Er hatte sogar ein Geschenk für sie dabei.

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.
