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.

Some people feel uncomfortable witnessing others’ anger about injustice.
It is those who do not feel anger about injustice that should make us feel uncomfortable.

Update:
PSA: if you are using MS Word and paste images in it, they may be sent to an MS server to generate Alt Text. Big privacy concern ...

I just had a strange experience. I created an image/drawing myself. When I pasted the result into a MS Word document (on a Mac) an automated "Alt text" appeared that (correctly) described what was in the figure. Why did this happen? What is integrated in MS Word that does this?

Fansubs are nearly always more fun to watch than official subs because they love the media they’re working on and have a free hand with their subtitle design.
I love how they got into the silly spirit while doing this #SuperSentai trivia episode.

very minor #GoodNews: The coming new standard font for MS Word, named Aptos, will have I and l looking different from each other...
Perhaps one of the most baffling arguments I've encountered in the "free public transport" debate is "no, it shouldn't be free, instead it should be higher-quality / more frequent"
Like, what do you mean "instead"? Who told you that it can only be either of the two, and not both? The same people who have been cutting lines and hollowing out transit on shaky reasons? How are their claims in any way credible? Why would you take this for truth?
(This is not aimed at anyone in particular, it's a rhetoric I keep seeing in transit debates all over the world)

Mastodon tip for noobs and others - if you're reading a long thread on the web view, and the toots are behind Content Warnings you don't have to tap Show More on every toot. Open the thread up and look for an eye button at the top of the column. It will have a line through it. Tap that to open all the CWs in the thread.
I can't say if this feature is in any of the various apps people may be using, but it's certainly worth looking for.

I just learned about a project where kids are reading to cats. They say it helps the kids get used to reading without pressure, and it helps the cats to relax in the preference of humans.
I can't! It is too cute!

if i had a nickel for every anti-cheat vendor whom implemented functionality in their driver to elevate the calling usermode process to PP/PPL, i would have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
kernel-mode anticheat is malware.

"A person is disabled not by their impairment, but by the failure of their environment to accommodate their needs. In other words, disability results not from autism itself but instead from living in a society which tends to be physically, socially, and emotionally inhospitable towards autistic people."
