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.

uspol/gun violence adj.
talking to us tech journalists is great cause you'll pitch them a story and theyre really into it but then they disappear for half a week, just to return and be like "sorry i was a bit busy i ended up in two shootings"

yo holy shit Dead Cells added a ton of accessibility and assist features
- UI tweaks / graphics tweaks
- color filters
- you can give yourself extra lives
- you can adjust trap damage and turn on an auto-attack to reduce how many inputs are necessary to play
- a TON of control tweaks
AND they said they won't disable achievements if you turn any of the assist features on: "We are not going to make it possible for people to play the game and then take achievements away from them."
fuck YES. this RULES.

I wonder if the people putting those "live" chat nag boxes (with a shitty chatbot) on their online shops, realize that they immediately lose me as a customer the moment something bleeps in my face

i like knowing about laws that let me fuck over authority figures and corporations

it's also just useful to be informed about laws surrounding the space you're doing activism in, for your own safety and that of others

I've discovered that you can in fact de-acclimatize yourself to advertising, largely from removing exposure fairly consistently over a long period of time.
The problem with that is the intense sense of alienation and distaste you get when exposed (for whatever reason) again.
Curating your own sensory inputs at the cost of being naturalized to the consensus human experience. Yikes.

De weggeefwinkel is open! Van nu tot ongeveer 8 uur vanavond. Als je kleding, houdbaar eten, condooms, zwangerschap tests, pijnstillers, mondkapjes, menstruatieproducten, of andere dingen nodig hebt, kom langs om te kijken!
The free shop is open! From now until about 8 o' clock in the evening. If you need clothes, long shelf life food, condoms, pregnancy tests, painkillers, face masks, period products, or other things, swing on by to check it out!
Verlengde hoogravenseweg 254, Utrecht.
Here's a good video about the technology behind trackless dark rides in theme parks and how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfPYeKdItoU (English subtitles are available)
But perhaps more interestingly, it has a dedicated segment about accessibility, and how they've used the trackless tech to improve it!

But sure, streaming movies is the reason the planet is dying, definitely only individual responsibility at play here /s

In more amusing news, yesterday a bunch of tractors blocked a supermarket's distribution center, and in response the supermarket blocked the tractors with a truck

Apparently cops have now graduated directly to "shooting at tractors" - no people seem to have been hit, clops claim they were "warning shots", video clearly shows otherwise
This is definitely all going very well

"recognizing trans people diminishes women" is the same shit as "recognizing LGBT marriages diminishes straight marriages" and hearing it isn't any more convincing this time. Just trying to stoke a fake-ass rivalry between people bigots are terrified of facing as a united front
