- 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.

Tech (philosophy?)
I admit that when I see nuanced takes on technology that rest on the defeatist assumption that technology is some sort of inevitable force of nature, I have a hard time paying attention to what is being said. Technology is built by humans for human motives. If we don't build it, it does not happen. We don't have to accept that the only thing to do is gratefully swallow whatever is being forced down our throats.

Was für Covid-Schnelltests (oder ähnliches) will eins denn aktuell haben?
Are there any game-agnostic(!) mod managers for Linux that are compatible with the Steam Workshop and ideally also other mod sources, and that are not complete garbage?

i'm not citing shit and i'm not bringing receipts but we have the best in-character bot-like-but-not-bot accounts in the fediverse who will absolutely break character to share love and comfort when times are particularly hard. that's community shit right there. fuckin love it. hell yeah, y'all anonymous folk runnin those accounts. much love.
I wonder how many solutions to scientific or technical problems got dismissed and "lost" because they didn't quite have the right set of tradeoffs for the problem that someone was trying to solve at the time, even though they could've solved many other people's problems

I was doing two activities yesterday when I noticed I was getting tired of doing them. I exercised self control and stopped doing them even though that was very difficult. Today I am trying not to do them until I'm sure I want to do them and I'm not just trying to fill time.

talking about resistance but you're too embarrassed even wear a mask in public

I know that for anarchists and sociologists society gets in everywhere, but the tow lot is a very interesting study.
Nearly everyone there is mad as hell because they have to pay for a service they didn't want. Is the tow lot's clerk, who has to tell people about their fines and fees, and who grants or refuses access to the vehicle, a cop? Or is it just a necessary function to make sure the tow workers are paid for clearing private property left in the public way?

When I tell people to try Linux I literally never mean "go all linux everything"
What I DO mean is dig an old laptop out of the cupboard that runs slow because it's on Windows 7 and spend a saturday putting linux on there so that you can actually use it again. A lot of the value of Linux is that it runs REAL fast on old hardware and can be a really great tool to cutting down on e-waste because it gives things that are long past their commercial viability a second life
(Most of their furniture is now cardboard honeycomb structure internally. The same is true for much of their in-box padding)
It occurs to me that there's increasingly little difference between the internals of IKEA furniture, and the padding with which it gets packaged

The dream of a p2p web is not just a technical one, or a political one, but an ecological and aesthetic dream where the thicket of digital reality can grow deep and live long and mutate and create and break without eternal catastrophe of capture by financial tyrants. Where there can truly be a digital reality where people and objects can tangle together and degrade and be renewed

The most beautiful lost digital culture I know of is the archival scene on what cd. Where people had constructed a society of preserving individual digitizations of physical records in full fidelity, the living membrane between people, sounds, objects, and culture

Designing beautiful degradation into a file format, not mimicking analog glitches but representing true digital glitches as a memory of an object. No format has dared having an aesthetic history of use

Concept: a lawsuit for damages from anyone who has ever had a private jet and then directing those funds into high-speed rail and local public transit projects
