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.

idk
youd think if the fbi got a copy of your server data
that youd shut the server down and move somewhere they dont know about

Your regular reminder that #inverterbrates are the backbone of ecosystems.
Grow #NativePlants in your #ForestGarden as they have co-evolved with wildlife.
It occurs to me that the most recent spate of news coverage for Threads doesn't really mention fedi anymore, instead presenting it purely as a "Twitter competitor"

If your analysis of what's wrong with the world boils down to labeling important people psychopaths or sociopaths, then your analysis is plain garbage

With so many new social media sites popping up, it won't be long before some techbro introduces the idea of everyone having their own standalone page they can customise however they want which people can link to if they choose, and is lauded as a genius for inventing the website

Hang on. Hang on.
Got it.
"Dethreaderated"
Thank you.
meta grumbling, subtoot
"We don't have time this week to make a decision about defederating Facebook" sure is a statement when people have been widely talking about it for weeks, and the default case is the dangerous one
'Could NOT find minizip-ng (missing: minizip-ng_INCLUDE_DIR) (found suitable version "3.0.6", minimum required is "3.0.6")'
ah yes, computer
It's unrealistic to expect every ActivityPub service to talk to every other ActivityPub service; just like you wouldn't expect every English speaker to want to talk to every other English speaker, just because they happen to share a language.

Fellas:
Drink fruity drinks. Get the scented candles that smell like cookies and doughnuts. Wear lotion that makes you smell like cereal.
Divest from that performative masculinity bullshit, and enjoy your damn life.

Me: so it (immersion heater) makes this noise.
Engineer: it's a silent system so it shouldn't make any noise
*System makes noise*
Me: see, it's making a noise.
Engineer: oh, that's just the mechanics of the system, it's meant to so that.
Me: but you said it should be silent
Engineer: it is, that's just the mechanics....
Me: but the mechanics are still noise.
Engineer: the system is silent, it's just the mechanics that make a noise
Me: *tears hair out*

Impressive. Very nice. Now let's see this new fedi profile...
Look at that subtle small instance domain. The tasteful content warnings on it. Oh my God, they even have alt text...

every single streaming or storing device where you can purchase or browse things should have a “dont ever show me this again” button
i dont want certain artists, movies, shows, games to ever be recommended to me by your bad algorithm and there should always be an option for it
Question: does anyone have an accessible and comprehensive article on why cops at pride are bad? That explains the whole thing in a single place.
I don't have the spoons to constantly explain this to people myself, and need something I can link people to.
The "accessible" part is important. No needlessly complex language, no aggressive tone towards the reader, no 60-year-old books, etc.
health
Honestly, I'm feeling better than I've felt in years, despite the kidney issues - in fact, I feel basically healthy now (even though I know I'm not)
Probably helps that I've lost a lot of weight that was bothering me, actually starting to feel comfortable in my body again
re: self-hosting stuff, directed at security people I guess
(None of them are likely to affect Facebook's usage, only really third-party usage, so publicly disclosing them would probably not be a great idea)
