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.

Het is eigenlijk best bizar dat de DigiD-integratie voor European Citizen Initiatives je alleen maar in laat loggen met de (iOS/Android-exclusieve) app... dat kan toch eigenlijk niet voor zo'n democratisch proces!
Er is nu nog een los formulier om in te vullen, maar met de push vanuit de EU naar meer en meer digitale authenticatie, is het nog maar de vraag hoe lang die optie blijft bestaan...

I mean seriously, isn't it interesting how dominant ideas about good posture and movement come down to ideals of obedience, control, and uniformity? The good student, like the good worker, is someone who can at minimal sit still or make productive movements for designated amounts of time in a designated place until told otherwise. The freedom to work or rest at one's own pace free of micromanagement is afforded to a few, meted out in bits along the axis of social status, and such freedom is hotly contested ground as seen in the struggles over working from home/return to the office. Control begins at the level of the body, the movements of muscle and bone.

RCS can't cope with a SIM changing number.
Mind-blowing that this is such a common issue with RCS that multiple mobile providers have articles about it.
I presume the USA doesn't have number porting?

Pakje via DHL.
Alles helemaal volgens schema, "tussen 10 en 11; met handtekening" en om 6 over 10 ging de deurbel.
Maar geen handtekening.
Nee die zetten ze zelf. Onder mijn naam staat in het digitale overzicht een krabbel die niet van mij is. En eigenlijk vind ik dat niet kunnen... 😬

We desperately need to reset the terms of the conversation, because the tech media by and large is too cowardly (or too dependent on their corporate overlords receiving major ad revenue by the very peddlers of genAI) to frame the narrative accurately. To wit:
Extreme pro-AI: using and promoting genAI tools.
Moderate: choosing not to use genAI tools and warning others about it.
Extreme anti-AI: attacking the physical infrastructure of genAI companies.

If you look at LLMs - a technology created through exploitation, for the explicit purpose *of* exploitation - and you conclude "well there might be legitimate uses", then your judgment is frankly garbage and you're looking for excuses not to have to take a real position

Let me be very clear. I do not advocate for violence. I am a pacifist at heart, and I believe we will accomplish more through peaceful yet “loud and proud” advocacy along with class solidarity.
Regardless, Generative AI is tied at the hip to fascism (do the research if you don’t believe me), and it pains me to see pointless arguments over what constitutes “vibe coding” overshadow the reality that all genAI usage is anti-craft and anti-humanist and in fact represents an extreme position.

Centrale database met wie waar behandeld wordt, vult men nu al
zorgictzorgen.nl/centrale-database-met-wie-waar-behandeld-wordt-vult-men-nu-al
Centrale database, de verwijsindex, met wie waar behandeld wordt, vult men nu al. Zonder dat de Nederlander er iets van weet. The post Centrale database met wie waar behandeld wordt, vult men nu al appeared first on Zorg-ICT Zorgen.
Er wordt ons aangeleerd dat de regering en bedrijven "de wil van de bevolking" weerspiegelen, en dat ze alleen maar dienen om dingen efficienter en effectiever te maken.
Intussen zamelt de bevolking ruim een ton in om een Efteling-reisje voor asielzoekers te betalen, terwijl de overheid dat reisje probeert te saboteren.
En wordt Gert Regterschot financieel ondersteund door studenten en collega's voor zijn werk als docent, terwijl de TU Eindhoven hem compleet laat vallen.
En dat zijn nog maar twee voorbeelden uit een hele grote stapel.
Dus wat is er dan eigenlijk nog waar van dat sprookje over het nut van bedrijven en de regering?

has anyone coined the term "fast tech" yet? used in the same sense as "fast fashion" - stuff that's designed to be cheap and disposable, chasing short term fads and tends, built in wasteful quantities in full knowledge that many units will go to landfill without being bought.

Griping about academics and journalists being gullible about the AI grift
Insufferable centrist: But maybe there's a middle ground, a "responsible" way to use ChatGPT—this is definitely a serious intellectual position to hold and not just a complete spineless cop-out
Everyone else: (Nods sagely, as if they said something insightful)
The materials quality of MARKUS chairs has really gone downhill...

🚗 Deel een auto met de buurt: slim, groen en goedkoper!
Amsterdam test een proef voor autodelen. Buren kunnen samen auto's gebruiken via een coöperatie.
🌿 Minder kosten, schonere lucht en meer ruimte voor groen en spel!
Meer weten? Ga naar https://amsterdam.nl/autodeelgroep. Samen maken we de stad groener en leuker!

We've now instituted a policy of doing a 'stock check' once a week on a fixed day, 1.5 days before the online groceries order deadline, and it's really helped a lot to make sure that we don't unexpectedly run out of stuff!
Literally just a list of "thing, minimum we should have, maximum we should buy up to, where to buy it", and then printing the whole list and going through it marking how much we have of each. What we can (plausibly/affordably) order online, we do; the rest we get from the store in person.

duckduckfedi did someone made some "real 12v PD" pcb where you are not dependent on power supplies that support 12v negotiation by down stepping 20v?

Huh. A recall notice from an importer that openly admits they imported a fake product (with a dangerous level of phthalates), and actively encourages people to tell others about it so that they can bring back theirs as well.
Not used to that kind of transparency, usually it's "the bare minimum that the regulatory agency said we need to do"
