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.

Dat het volk nu een dagje Efteling betaalt voor asielzoekers is een belangrijk politiek feit.

“AI Slop Education”

> Students' utter disengagement with college (hashtag not all students) stems from a variety of factors, both within and well beyond education policy and practice

GitHub having the audacity to complain about AI bots crawling their website being unsustainable is the textbook definition of hypocrisy.

@broadwaybabyto Yes. The modern " wellness" industry promotes the idea that perfect health is the default state of every human, and is achievable by every human. Tragically people don't see that this is a myth perpetrated by those who want to sell you vitamins and sundry treatments for profit.
So we get people who believe that the reason we have a serious chronic illness eg ME/CFS is our failure to got to the Health shop and select the right products.
It's insulting and it trivialises our illness/ disability and the impact it has on our lives.

One of the hardest parts of chronic illness is that you can do everything “right” & still have a setback.
You can rest, eat healthy, manage stress & take all your meds & still have a horrible flare.
The loss of control is painful, and a big part of why folks are afraid of people with disabilities
The non disabled need to believe that they can “healthy living” or “try harder” their way out of disability.
That they’re the exception. That we have failed because we didn’t really “want” to get better.
They can’t fathom that sometimes it doesn’t matter what you do, you still get sicker
(The idea of predefined 'cloud services' being cheaper originates in the idea that you don't need to hire dedicated staff and can share it with other customers. This is of course a) also true for managed hosting, b) completely distorted by things such as vendor lock-in, and c) irrelevant when you are a literal government-sized organization)
There's this argument that European cloud providers just can't offer the same breadth of services as something like AWS, and it really annoys me because what AWS offers is merely a subset of what dozens of managed hosting providers offer *and have been offering since before AWS existed*.
When you buy this stuff from a managed hosting provider, they do whatever they have to and hire whoever they need to, to provide you with the service you need. Having a fixed set of predefined services in a fancy control panel (like AWS) is not actually better than this!
(And it's not cheaper either.)

Bronnen bij NS geven aan dat er geen overeenkomst is bereikt over een nieuwe CAO en dat vakbonden zich gaan voorbereiden op stakingen. Wordt vervolgd.
Internal sources at NS are saying that an agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement couldn’t be reached. The unions are now preparing for strikes. To be continued.

it still frustrates me to no end that the only reason why residential networking is complicated is IPv4
and IPv6 is almost three decades old
instead of all this bullshit with port forwarding, NAT punching, and other shit, you should be able to just know your own public IP address and send it to someone else to connect directly to you, but you can't on IPv4. instead you have to deal with bullshit

@joepie91 Most car chargers you can use a paperclip to bypass payment on, by shorting either the 5v rail or the 12v rail that controls the relay, and usually don't have security alarms on the way to access that relay.
Yes, you have to access it destructively. Yes, it's probably not safe. But it's there.

Not all data are equal
The health *care* system does not create health *research* quality data
These are NOT the same thing
And just having a lot of lower quality data does not magically transmute it into good quality data somehow
And you wouldn't want health *care* resources spent on health *research* because of how incredibly inefficient it would be to re-train every single care provider to have a 2nd focus on research
Just run a goddamn RCT, there's no free lunch, jesus fuck
