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
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.

I propose a new classification system for language proficiency:
0. Cannot speak it at all
1. Can swear and insult in it
2. Can understand linguistic jokes and puns
3. Can write toots in it to complain about stuff
4. Can understand bureaucratic government/tax stuff
5. Can understand legal texts
lmfao apparently there's a release group named PLZPROPER which is breaking automatic TV show downloaders left and right because their releases are incorrectly identified as propers
Love systems where the "disk full" failure mode is "guess I'm gonna delete your files then lmao"

i hope that the london metal exchange never switches away from open outcry (having people trade face to face instead of electronically) because it results in absolutely fantastic photos
Anyone have any queer sci-fi recommendations? Especially books, though shows/movies are also OK :) :boosts_ok_gay:
The pride flags I ordered are like 50% bigger than I expected, so I guess I have a wall of pride flags now

interviewer: can you explain the big gap in your employment history?
me: can you explain the big gap between what your CEO gets paid and what your workers get paid?
it's not "data hoarding", it's opportunistic preservation

reminder that the economy is artificial and every death due to lack of housing, food, or medical care is an act of political violence

I'm sick of being around cars, having to hear cars, see cars, breathe their fumes, worry about getting hit by them, walk around parked cars when I wanna cross the street, hear people talk about cars, live in a city that's built around cars cars cars cars cars...

if you can get tackled, ziptied, and arrested by agents of the state for protesting the state without their permission, do you *really* have the right to protest? does it make it better or worse, knowing that *they knew* the charges wouldn't stick, and they just wanted to beat you and strip you of your humanity because you spoke out of turn?

environment variables are a shit way to provide extensive configs imo, especially if you don't use docker....

Wow, what the fuck Gigabyte. Apparently when my motherboard gets power backfeed via a dodgy DisplayPort cable, it doesn't like, warn me about it, or have any sort of backfeed protection.
Instead, it just starts being unable to reboot without a hard power cycle, *and* starts reading the CPU temperature as permanently -55C (no, that's not a typo), causing it to completely disable the CPU fan regardless of actual temperature... which was up in the mid-90s.
On top of their (shitty) fan curve smoothing option only being exposed via a crappy Windows app and not via the EFI.... yeah, I ain't gonna be buying Gigabyte again 😐

me, looking at a clock: eh, it's still early, I'll eat in like 30 minutes
*subjective moments later*
me, looking at a clock: huh no wonder I'm hungry I should have eaten 2 hours ago

politics, cryptobunk
Goddamn neoliberals. https://e24.no/norsk-oekonomi/i/Po8z3b/roedt-faar-ikke-medhold-i-forbud-mot-kryptoutvinning
To summarize/paraphrase: PoW cryptocurrency mining won't be banned in Norway because they "wouldn't want to inhibit innovation" and "it's not their job as politicians to decide what is and isn't useful for society" (WTF??)
