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.

#TDoV remember trans men and non-binary folks as they get too little visibility. Most public attention (mostly the negative) is directed at trans women. Trans men and trans boys are erased most of the time, misgendered even more. Both groups are taken less serious by the general public.
I don't know what hurts more - being painted as a super villain or your identity coopted and warped and maliciously misconstrued as something you need to be saved from by your enemies.
I stand with my #TransMasc and #NonBinary siblings.
Cis allies: please remember us all when you talk about trans rights with others.

i love "i18n" as short for "internationalization" because nothing telegraphs "we consider this a burden and dont really care about it" like "i cant be fucked to type out all the letters"

re: corpo instance subtoot
It's always so, so easy to tell who has ever actually run a community thing vs. who's stuck in startup brain mode
corpo instance subtoot
"We're using AWS and running an instance is costing us lots of money! How can that be?!"

The amount of anger I have towards Cloudflare hosting sites which are used to spread Lockbit and doing perfectly nothing about it is immense.
Not only does Cloudflare effectively act as a single point of failure for the whole Internet, they are also a single point of malice.

Is there a browser(s) specifically for use in a media center. Ie it does not use system specific UI elements, supports controllers/remotes, has tabs and bookmarks that have ux specifically for this, etc.?

To celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility, Blahaj.zone has commissioned brand new Blobhaj emoji from the amazing @heatherhorns@plush.city!
Our little blobby friends are waving a brand new style of pride flag.
As well as several pride flags to celebrate our wonderful gender diverse community, there are many more pride flags available in the new style!
They have been released under a creative commons license, and if you would like to use them on your own instance, you can grab them from Heatherhorn's emoji page!

anti-misanthropy, venting
if people truly were irredeemably shit, their hearts devoid of compassion and kindness,
do you really think those "donate to these abused kids/animals/etc.." commercials would ever go on air?
it's not the people. it's the systems, and the few who control them.

as a left handed person: fuck all fare gates
You know the saying about how a specialist doesn't get paid for putting an X somewhere, but for being the one to know *where* to put the X, with all the learning that that entails?
It works the same way for responsibility. "They can't be held responsible because someone else could have built the same harmful thing" is a bad excuse - because it's not about building the thing, it's about being the one to use your expertise for it.

I'm not sure who needs to hear this but you don't owe anyone on the internet your real name or a profile image that's a real photo of you.
