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.

Anyone here know what happened to Ektoplazm, by any chance?

“Ik kan er emotioneel van worden. Dat ik altijd bezig ben met laten zien wie ik ben, wat ik kan, wat ik heb gedaan. Maar ik wil het ook niet opgeven. Het is een honger. Een honger om te vechten voor wat ik belangrijk vind. Vooruitgang. Voor de volgende generaties, voor mijn eigen kinderen.”

If someone wants to summarize what I said with an LLM I think the only reasonable response is to pepper the training dataset with GO FUCK YOURSELF signed by me with my real name addressed directly to you. Maybe that way your dramatically overfit surveillance bot confuses its attention matrix with confidence and gives me direct control over your fucking home thermostat or morning alarm clock. In biological signaling we say "a costly signal is a true signal" and you signaling this hard you trust your life to a suggestible text-based advertising machine suggests I would truly be able to dominate your perception of truth with like $20 of google ad spend.

> being plausible but slightly wrong and un-auditable—at scale—is the killer feature of LLMs, not a bug that will ever be meaningfully addressed, and this combination of properties makes it an essentially fascist technology. By “fascist” in this context, I mean that it is well suited to centralizing authority, eliminating checks on that authority and advancing an anti-science agenda.

Dus #RTL wordt óók al onderdeel van #DPG. Voor mij had de @acm hier niet akkoord mee hoeven gaan. Ik houd niet van zulke machtige bedrijven.
Laten we vooral ook niet vergeten dat DPG vorig jaar de Big Brother Award won voor grove privacyschendingen. (Betalend) abonnee van een van hun 70 mediatitels? Je wordt getrackt, je persoonlijke data worden verkocht en tot 10 jaar bewaard.

keep signing though. it must have a million *valid* signatures, and some percentage is always found to be invalid, so we should ensure the petition has enough wiggle room

Loneliness, Cisheteroness
I wonder if loneliness would be less of an epidemic in our culture if cis hets were a bit less breeding-centric in their relations & less uptight in discussing their sexuality generally.
I first heard the term Ace in like 2003. I'm essentially ace spectrum and growing up, I had 3 older sisters & the neighborhood sandbox so a bunch of girls would come over to hang out.
I miss that & blame in parts patriarchy & rape culture for the fact that I could probably not even hold hands or caress someone's shoulders or hold them close because I just *care* w/cishet women without it being interpreted as a proposal. Again, no blame just observation of systems failures.
This is a culmination of thought for me, no one interaction in particular responsible.
This is ALSO nothing against sexpositivity, allosexuality, etc. I admire that its just not MY metronome/rhythm.
So yeah, i dont know if that makes me a Gray Ace but it makes me sad that we cant care for one another intimately yet non-romantically.

Morgen is de Rave voor de rafelranden voor de derde keer. De gemeente maakt het de organisatie moeilijk.
De tijden zijn aangepast, het eindpunt verplaats naar letterlijk een rafelrand van Utrecht. Geluid eerder uit.
Mocht je morgen naar de rave komen, neem vooral protest bordjes, vlaggen en spandoeken mee. De gemeente vind de demonstratie niet politiek genoeg, dan maken wij het politieker.
Dat gezegd hebben, de organisatie heeft een front banner en ze zoeken nog mensen die kunnen helpen met dragen van de front banner. Het is dat wij al andere taken hebben, anders we het wel op ons genomen.

Ugh, my two favourite posts about autism self-diagnosis are now "Member-only stories".

Any #ActuallyAutistic folks have any alternatives to recommend?
uspol, israel, europe, tech companies
Well, it's happened. The International Criminal Court's e-mail services (specifically those of the head prosecutor) at Microsoft have been shut down, most likely as a result of the sanctions that Trump applied to the ICC after the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and Gallant.
The prosecutor now cannot do their job anymore.
The danger of relying on US-based tech companies is no longer hypothetical now.

I'll certainly miss having a space on the internet to ask questions and receive help
Dear Author! We always had that. It was IRC, it was mailing lists, it was forums, it was the Fediverse. Still are, really.
You know what's common between all of those? None are centralized silos run by for-profit corporations. Maybe there's something to learn from that.
I'm sure we'll see spaces where developers hang out and help each other continue to be popular – whether they are in the form of Discord servers, WhatsApp or Telegram groups, or something else.
...or maybe some won't. Too bad.

Several commenters under this post seem upset that the pill is prescribed starting at an age of 13 years.
Do these commenters want more teen pregnancies? Cause that's how you get more teen pregnancies
