- they/them, he/him, whatever, it's not like I have any idea either 🙃
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.

Angel: You want them to rest every night?
God: 8 hours. Completely unconscious and immobile.
Angel: And then they wake up completely refreshed?
God: No.

Love how a bag of crackers (not even one with foil!) can apparently completely ruin the wireless reception of my trackball
re: frustrated, tech, child abuse
like seriously, anyone who is not even familiar with the idea of "most abuse comes from close circles, not from strangers" is absolutely *not* qualified to be building anything relating to child safety

Still shocked when I see things like this 1 TB microSD card. The equivalent of 694,400 floppy disks in a form so small I could swallow it painlessly with a bit of water.

developers stop adding "parental control" features into your apps that just enable abuse challenge 2023 (impossible)

I’ve come to realize that the traditional classroom isn’t so much about learning as it is creating the illusion of learning from standardization, and favors those who can disproportionately exploit that. It doesn’t allow for individual comprehension rates (can that even be measured?) or relevant tangents. It’s one size fits all vs. diversity and that doesn’t work.

i think one technology that may get bosses out of the loop would be #p2p -ish collaboration tools. inside the firm this may bring down control and information flow down from management and to in between the endpoints, maximizing the use of local knowledge. but it can go beyond firm boundaries: working directly with customers, suppliers, competitors would potentially be just as easily.

so I've started seeing Mastodon apps fetch posts in threads from other servers directly, bypassing server blocks.
This is ... this is deeply concerning to me.

The lead attorney for GitHub arguing that #Copilot using #OpenSource is fair use following precedent from #Oracle Vs #Google is Annette Hurst, who represented Oracle and personally argued against the verdict in public on Twitter.
