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.

It sure is interesting how Tauri doesn't get shit on anywhere near as much as Electron, even though there is very little technical difference between the two, and the 'arguments' against Electron are supposedly of a technical nature

Het reliëfkaartje van Twente is ook fascinerend, ik wist niet dat Glanerbrug en Losser met een heuvelrug van de rest van Nederland zijn afgescheiden.

I'm generally fascinated by this thing where people try to undo a fuckup by just reverting to the old situation and then expect 'business as usual', clearly not understanding that trust is a thing you build up on a social level, and not some deterministic outcome of a set of policies

Redis: "we're doing AGPL again now!"
Proceeds to talk around the issue because they can't bring themselves to admit that they've a mistake, and somehow expects people to trust them again despite showing no evidence that they've learned anything

Evening all.
I've just accidentally dropped a cup of seeds on the lawn and our local wood pigeons have possibly started worshiping me as a god, so that's nice.
Also got a snap of the robin posing, and am enjoying the WTF vibes I'm getting from the sheep.

paywalled standards need to fuck off straight into the sea. truly one of the worst types of rent-seeking.

"People are going to have relationships with AI. How do we make sure these are healthy relationships?" You don't. Those relationships can't be healthy because they're premised on lies.
The single most effective thing AI companies could do to encourage healthy relationships with AI would be to stop presenting them as people, but they won't because doing so would make them less marketable.

fascism, transphobia, science
if i was in biology i would be constantly pretty pissed off that fascists have turned my entire field into a catchphrase expositing bigotry with less actual knowledge of my field than you'd get in a single second grade science lesson

Uit een ouder interview met Niek Moonen, de exploitant in kwestie:
"Moonen is het wel eens met de stelling dat er nog muziek in de sector zit, maar gemakkelijk is het niet altijd. ‘Het is gewoon keihard werken en het is vooral lastig dat je met zoveel administratieve zaken te maken hebt. Veiligheid is belangrijk, maar je kan ook overdrijven.’"
Eh. Tja. Wat moet ik daar nou eens over zeggen...

apparently there is a “rave collective” in toronto that has offered to be on-call for any reports of right-wing protests to bring a portable sound system and drown them out with 200bpm hardcore acid techno

there are a whole lot of things which would be better if there were just fewer people using them as a cudgel to beat down those they consider their inferiors.
this thought brought to you by every field-specific jargon vocabulary coined and every subject taught at any university.

one of my least favorite things is watching trans people uncritically re-enact oppressive structures in search of gender affirmation.
i get why it’s so alluring but NO.
leave that shit behind.

Dear cis-het people.
When a member of the LGBTQ+ says something to you about how recent events are making things difficult or scary don't then explain things to that person as if you are the authority on it. Especially when your understanding of the topic is very limited and just wrong.
Yes even if you mean well.
The correct response should be
"How can I help?"
Or if you can't/ don't want to help
"I'm sorry you're going through that."

People from an oppressed group aren’t a monolith, they WILL have diversity of opinion among many other things.
Something I had to unlearn myself is picking members of that group you who aligns the most with a position that’s the most comfortable to you and treating it as the general opinion from that group and dismissing all the others.
Concrete example "Blackface is okay because [this Black person] said it was, you don’t want to contradict a Black person do you?"
