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.

One of my favourite things about Glasgow is all the street art that pops up in places, featuring themed renditions of this spiky blob. I have no idea who’s responsible for it but I love it.
This one is on Dumbarton Road, by the rail bridge near Partick station

What is really frustrating for me when I volunteer for @c3auti and also #accessibility is that the most difficult work is totally invisible but the mishaps are always obvious.
I know I will get shoutet at (rightfully) for some of the barriers I know will still exist on #38C3. I know I will probably need to bother PL at least once per day.
Nobody sees the huge nastiness that is averted by good care work. They just see that I couldn't hold my presentation the day after.

Check your backups.
FFS.
CHECK YOUR BACKUPS.
My alerting didn't trigger so I learned there are no valid backups since December 1st (to one of my two offsite locations). And I can't re-enable it because the remote ran out of disk space and zfs holds are funny.
I had to reboot the source machine in the end, and that triggered a new cascade of issues with the nvidia driver updating and totally screwing containerd over.
How did I end up in this place arrrgh.
Check your backups. And alerting.

With determination getting people onto bicycles and out of cars can reduce local pollution in a few years.

Kim Kyung-Hoon took this photo of a press conference by the CEOs of Nissan, Honda and Mitsubishi, and accidentally created the perfect album cover.

Ah, Github's trying to fix that branch name vulnerability with a sledge hammer:
The head ref may contain hidden characters: "\u{1F980}\u{1F980}\u{1F980}"
(U+1F980 is 🦀)

I hate that so many news sites treat online content like this. “Someone” made this? It’d make a lot of people’s days to get credited for their work on a big site like that instead of it just getting credited to “someone”.

consider writing to Luigi to take the meme posting and the jokes to the next level of directly expressing your support to him

assume all your letters will be read by the feds before he gets to read them. accordingly, consider using a pen name (and tell him, "my pen name is XYZ"), and a return address that isn't your home.
check the mail guidelines before you write/send to ensure your letters get to Luigi:

Autodesk's marketing is very funny to me, because their system doesn't distinguish between a fresh trial installation lead and a person who previously paid for their services and then cancelled, which automatically drops you back to a trial account.
so they're sending me emails like "how are you enjoying your trial?" and "get a paid version to enjoy checking out all these features!"

A sad picture of empty barren sofas at QuietQube.
Bring your Plushie on Vacation at c3auti!
If you want to provide your trusted plushie a safe place to stay, meet other creatures and spread happiness, bring them to #38C3 and let them take a vacation at our QuietQube. Who knows, maybe we even take them to the water park.
(Please remember to tag them so they won't get mixed up)

Things that seem to get missed in "how to solve the housing crisis in Canada" discussions:
* Abolish Airbnb
* Abolish multiple home ownership
* Fund housing co-ops that exist to keep housing prices low for their members, not for-profit solutions that exist to do the exact opposite
* Minimum density requirements to prevent and roll back unsustainable suburb development
I'm not trying to start a big thread of housing policy or "well actuallies" about how my ideas are bad, I'm just venting

I wish there was a way for me to communicate to a certain demographic
That their enemy is not the immigrants, racial minorities or the "blue-hair-and-pronouns" crowd as they see us
It's the rich bros who are trying to turn all our jobs into gig economy style exploitation

If you don't in the WordPress ecosystem, you may not understand how HUGE this post is
https://joost.blog/wordpress-leadership/
Joost is probably the second biggest figure in the entire WP ecosystem, only after Matt M himself. He is the biggest voice from the "Enterprise WordPress" world.
This is not anymore open source contributors complaining about governance. This is the Business WordPress demanding a leadership change and suggesting it either happens or a hard fork, backed by big business, is on the way.
