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.

A thing I have noticed as a non-anarchist:
Anarchists are still your friends, even if you're not an anarchist.
If you care about your civil liberties, they want that. If you want marginalized people to get the vote, they want that. If you want to unionize your workplace, they want that.
Some of them suck, and some of them are just cops wearing a V mask.
But most of the things anarchists want are things you also want!

fediverse pro tip!
people actually open content warnings (you just did, yourself) and it's actually a form of interaction that increases the connection with other people! like stop being scared of content warnings and realize that they are a too-specifically-named labeled envelope for your posts, that your followers and mutuals will love to open and enjoy. they can be an important safety tool and a fun stim toy for people at the same time and they don't have to be only a serious thing! embrace the cw!
thanks for opening my little envelope 😊

Saw someone point out that it's astonishing we still haven't, as a society, come up with a trope about white men to be "a Karen, but male"... but is it?
There's an essay someone could write about how structurally there _can't_ be a male Karen trope, because the features of a Karen (seeks access to authority to gain favor or enforcement of norms on others, doesn't consider others' feelings or needs, acts with unearned authority) aren't broadly deemed bad or wrong in white men.

"Geert Wilders wordt gesponsord (en geeft dat niet op aan de Tweede Kamer).
De rijke extreemrechtse Amerikaan Robert J. Shillman trekt graag zijn chequeboek om democratieën te ondermijnen. Zo steunt Shillman ook de extreemrechtse terreurorganisatie Proud Boys. #PVV 🧵/1"

I wonder how many people would be trans if there wasn't any stigma attached to it and you could get hrt otc

It’s not really useful to talk about #skynet and robot overlords when discussing the dangers of #artificialintelligence because that’s not what we have to worry about, at least not for a while yet.
It is much more useful to talk about the concept of #policymurder which is when systems codified by law and regulation squeeze people into destitution and death. See also “social murder.”

Misschien is het beter om geen protest te organiseren dan het halfslachtig te doen? Nu kan het op velen overkomen alsof slechts een handjevol mensen zich echt zorgen maakt. Dus misschien valt het toch wel mee met die Wilders? En de mensen die zich (terecht) belaagd voelen door het oprukkende fascisme zullen denken: moeten we het hiervan hebben? Zijn dit de mensen die ons steunen?
Was handling disposal of a spicy pillow today, and it felt a bit like a slapstick movie - first I ran into an unexpected ice sheet (battery was in water overnight for discharge, and it had frozen over), then I got it out from under the ice, dropped it into a ziploc bag, and it fell straight *through* the bag
This is the first time ever that one of those bags has broken on me, what the hell

After typing out the same caption for the same image for like the fourth time...
Do... Do we have an image file format with alt text baked in??? Is that a thing? If it isn't, how??? And if it is, why aren't we using it?
re: subtoot, angry
"But I don't have the energy to constantly be outraged about everything all of the time!"
Well maybe you should do some work on dealing with your own emotions around that then, and learn to deal with the reality of not being able to affect everything, instead of offloading that work onto others by arguing that their concerns are not real or trying to trivialize them.

And don't come at me with fucking rationalizations about how "it's your choice to come" or "some people just want to continue living" or whatever the hell else.
If you believe that it is a worthwhile or acceptable tradeoff to exclude vulnerable folks in exchange for "not being inconvenienced yourself", then actually stand behind that view and call it what it is - don't try to hide it behind euphemisms and justifications just to make your own emotional discomfort go away.

@joepie91 @mdstevens0612 This isn't the only way of encoding alt text in Exif, you can also use the AltTextAccessibility property from IPTC. From what I can tell IPTC is mostly used for news and stock photography and I'm not sure how common this tag is
Since it's that time of year where people everywhere start asking me whether I'm coming to #37c3, here's my answer:
No, it is not possible for me to come, because the orga has chosen not to implement any COVID safety precautions, forcing me to choose between "keeping my kidneys working" and "attending a hacker event".

privacy and healthcare venting
Healthcare related organisation: we do not share data with 3rd parties! your data is safe.
*Invites you to a teams meeting*
Isn't teams a 3rd party? Do you have a data-processing-agreement?
We don't share with 3rd parties, and we don't have a data-processing-agreement with teams/microsoft. But they really protect the data and have this privacy policy.
*privacy policy is vague, but clear about using data for advertising and marketing and sharign with 3rd parties*

When we found out that deodorants were destroying the ozone layer, did we stay telling people to use less toilet spray and buy less Axe? No, we legislated big corps and the problem was completely solved after a few years. What's with the cult of personal responsibility, why are we still here telling people that if they don't take the plane and use paper straws maybe grandma won't lose her house to the rising tides before she dies in an 'unprecedented' heatwave?
