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.

Honestly, #OpenTTD is such a good game

Really enjoy it (/s) when two different train drivers disagree about whose train is going to continue on to my destination, and the trip planner and the station signage don't agree with each other either
Your reminder that posting fascist shit with a 'dunking' caption is still posting fascist shit
self-meta
Time to mute that memes account that frequently posts un-CWed dunking on fascist shit, I guess
I broadly like my Glove80 keyboard but the tenting system really is atrociously bad

Here's an idea: You invite the meeting room to a calendar meeting to reserve it at the specified time. No need to log into some crap.

Sinds een artikel van de Correspondent benoemde hoe berichtgeving over verkeersongelukken altijd de nadruk legt op de fietser/voetganger maar nooit op de bestuurder van het motorvoertuig, al dan niet via passief taalgebruik, kan ik het niet meer ont-zien.
Echt bizar hoe wijdverspreid dit fenomeen is. Nagenoeg 100% van de nieuwsberichten, zelfs van de partijen die *niet* van het ANP overnemen, heeft dit probleem.
musings about how the web used to be better, long
I often see people musing about how the web used to be so much better two decades ago, and while I don't disagree...
I think it's important to realize that we're remembering the *good* parts of the web back then; the parts that provided us with community and a sense of togetherness.
But there was widespread corporate meddling in communities back then, too. There was plenty of co-opting going on, too. There were a ton of unsustainable exploitative tech companies too - that's what the dotcom bubble *was*. Even the oft-lauded things like webrings often had commercial encroachment going on.
What made the web good back then wasn't the absence of shitty corporations. It was people building and finding community *in spite of* shitty corporations and hostile environments.
Yes, there's a subtly different set of problems on the web today. But what really makes the situation different isn't that the environment is more hostile now; it's that people have, by and large, given into it.
The way we fix the web is not by musing about former greatness, or by trying to replicate old protocols. We fix the web by *taking* it back, and that goes well beyond "being on the fediverse". It means taking on a subversive attitude towards the established systems again, and deliberately not playing along with them, in every way we can.
And, ultimately, making it so that we don't *need* corporations anymore to keep communities alive, make them obsolete. And hopefully fix things for the long term, this time. And yes, that is going to involve anti-capitalism somewhere along the way.
The fediverse is a good first step. But it is only that. And now it is time to organize further.

The results are in for the #4DayWeek (i.e. paying employees the same dollar amount for 32 hours of work instead of 40).
For individuals (n=3500):
* 71% reported decreased burnout.
* More than 40% reported improvements across mental health, sleep quality, and fatigue.
* Workers are not using their day off to take paid work elsewhere, but instead for hobbies, leisure, housework, caring, and personal maintenance.
* 90% of people want to continue.
For businesses (n=91):
* YoY revenue up by 35% during trial period.
* Employee attrition down by 57%.
* 91% of companies immediately established the 4-day week permanently.
* Another 4% are leaning toward continuing.

Ik zou graag eens wat meer analyse zien over *waarom* er schijnbaar meer geweldsincidenten in treinen plaatsvinden, i.p.v. alleen maar observeren dat het zo is en het omschrijven alsof het een regenbui is waar je nu eenmaal niets preventief aan kunt doen...
Tot zover lijkt de NS zich redelijk in te houden qua roep om meer 'tegengeweld', maar dat lijkt wel de richting te zijn waar het publieke debat nu naartoe schuift, en daar gaat niemand beter van worden

LLMs, dark humour
The future is search engines and "AI assistants" that are forever stuck in "the web of knowledge as we knew it in 2022" in a desperate attempt to evade LLM garbage, like we're all collectively stuck in some sort of Wayback Machine world and nobody can find the adjustment dial
De daadwerkelijke redenen zijn dat a) plastic sorteren geld kost, b) vers plastic goedkoper is dan gerecycled plastic, en c) er onvoldoende is geinvesteerd in recycletechnieken om het rendabel te maken.
Er is meer dan voldoende plastic voorhanden, zoveel zelfs dat het de recycle-capaciteit ver te boven gaat. Het gaat gewoon weer om de winst.
Zo te zien draait de greenwashing-afdeling bij de Albert Heijn weer op volle toeren, getuige de marketingrotzooi die ik net binnenkrijg... "er is niet genoeg recyclemateriaal voorhanden, daarom zijn niet alle verpakkingen helemaal gerecycled", rot toch op met je leugens

Hey @RWSverkeersinfo waarom staat dit bericht over de afsluiting van de #A7 niet op Mastodon maar wel op #TwitterX ?
Nu hoef ik vandaag toevallig niet over de afsluitdijk, maar ik hoorde via een ander kanaal van een bericht op twitter.
Als hier niet ALLE berichten van de verkeersinfo komen, dan is deze informatiestroom niet betrouwbaar.

Dear furry artists,
Art is a luxury good, produced by those who have invested time in their artistic skills.
Your prices are only "too high" if you're not getting commissions. Charge more.
