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 almost can't believe that this needs to be said, but "well that's capitalism for you, not an individual problem" is *not* an excuse to defend someone who goes above and beyond in playing the game of capitalism, and harms people in the process.

Today, I learned to count.
Or, I learned how to trick a bunch of sand to pretend it's another bunch of sand that knows how to count.

I notice this so much in companies, big companies, who continuously have to justify their accessibility teams. "A screen reader isn't just for blind people, people who are outside in the sun and can't see the screen clearly use this!" Maybe, but that's not its main use case. That's basically sidelining blind people. Making our disability not even count. But it does. I have to live with it every minute of every day.

but what if you eat capitalism itself would that be ethical consumption

Maybe some day I can express concerns about the culture of (programming) language bashing and not be immediately attacked for it. I guess today is not that day.

Keep fascists out of your spaces and their memes out of your mind. Normalization is their weapon of choice, but it requires them to wait for *you* to start repeating or laughing at *their* jokes.

printer rant, cursing
printer and everything around them make me irrationally mad. why the fuck do you only want ink from your company, when other ink works, too? why does my ink cartridge needs a chip? why do all these different companies need different methods to put fucking ink in their shitty ink spitters? i know the answer is capitalism, but i am still irrationally mad and want to do unspekable things to the designers of these abominations.

Sod it, at the risk of doxxing myself, do you do accessibility?
Do you want to work with me?
I'm recruiting for an "Accessibility Consultant"
Has to be in the UK (sadly)
Very varied stuff, almost all of it is good for the environment, and all of it helps people (in theory)
DM me if you want to know more.
Love how the design rationale behind Vulkan seems to boil down to "none of these vendors can be trusted to read a fucking spec, so let's make it as low-level as possible so that they just *can't* fuck it up even if they tried"
Imagine how much better the world would be if everybody just learned three things:
1. Don't propose replacing or abolishing a solution until you understand what led to its creation
2. ... but don't assume that traditional/widespread solutions *or* people with more experience are automatically correct, either!
3. Discussions should be like a collaborative project, not like a competitive debate

France is facing massive droughts, but golf greens have been exempted from water restrictions; so climate activists went to golf courses and filled the holes with concrete! #StopGolf

I wish Matrix was active enough and well-known enough that I could get local communities of non-tech people to switch.
