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.

Replaced the CCFL tube backlight on my ThinkPad T41 with a modern LED replacement from AliExpress.
The results are outstanding, it's about as bright as my modern laptop (~600nits?).
Installation was very hard (took about 4 hours) and dimming doesn't work anymore.
Capturing such differences in pictures is pretty hard, but I think especially the difference in color vibrancy is pretty obvious from the pictures.
Only recommended for experts, I was sweating blood by the end:

In the US, companies are under no obligation to honor any request that they stop sending you physical mail. Send them as many requests in as varied a format as you like; they can ignore each and every one.
EXCEPT. If you say "please stop, this mailing made me horny", they are required by federal law to immediately block your address. It doesn't have to be honest or sincere; just saying "your ad turned me on, and I don't like it" is enough. 🌈⭐️

I kind of don't like this thing that happens in many sitcoms where characters are complete assholes to each other and prank each other and shout at each other 90% of the time and then they shoehorn in stone heartfelt moments where they get all lovey dovey with each other and you're supposed to get the impression that actually, they really loved each other all this time

"The behavior of the police at Robb Elementary is only shocking if you are committed to a mythic notion of what policing entails. The “thin blue line” does not separate society from chaos. It instead separates those empowered by the state to uphold racial capitalism with violence... In the face of centuries of evidence exposing what the work of policing actually entails - and does not entail - the true ideologues are those committed to policing as a solution."

I cant believe some people go to work and dont feel like they are being forcibly removed from their life for 8+ hours
(I promise that it's about much more than just "what do X and Y mean"!)
If you're interested in FOSS, UX, community dynamics, terminology/language, communication, accessibility, and how all of these things intersect... this thread is a very fascinating read: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=43501
It's like a little microcosm of FreeCAD as a project, the issues it runs into, the (problematic) community dynamics, conflicting interests/priorities, and FOSS accessibility issues

Warning: There’s an app for blurring out sensitive information in images called Obfuscate being featured on #GNOME Software right now.
Please be careful.
The default blur setting can easily be reversed.
The default should be to replace the areas with a solid colour or a pattern not derived from the underlying information.
This really should not be a featured app in its current state.

FOSS bros: If you don't like something on Linux, you can just use a distro that has what you want! Problem solved!!
Me: Is there even a single distro that has usable scroll bars?
