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.

Something odd is happening with my Bean plants.
A few days ago, I saw a housefly on one of my bean vines, and it didn’t fly away. Brain went ‘thats odd’, and filed it away to be forgotten.
Each day since, I’ve noticed a housefly in the exact same place. Today, the fly was decomposing, so I looked around all my bean plants, and there seems to be quite a few flies stuck like this. The only conclusion I can come to is that Bean plants must be somewhat carnivorous, but I can’t find any info?

slightly irritated, software packaging (2)
And like, it's not that things like package size or redundancy don't matter - it's just that if someone uses the word 'bloat', they almost certainly don't have a sufficiently concrete concern to be actionable, because if they did, they would be describing that concern instead of a vague hand-wavy term like 'bloat'
slightly irritated, software packaging
I've gotten into a habit of just completely ignoring anyone in a software packaging discussion who uses the term 'bloat' and it has done wonders for my ability to actually work towards solutions instead of chasing ill-specified ghosts

"You get more conservative when you get older" only really worked for the generations that got RICHER as they got older.
The real truth was always just "You get more selfish the more money you have".

The best experience you can have while traveling by train is when you have to change trains
Your train arrives at the station
And the next train is already there, waiting on the opposite edge of the same platform
Feels magical

make more music about gay sex, imo. the charts have too many songs about weird straight people

Fedi hot take: it should be possible to share deltas to blocklists, allowlists, reputation info, tag moderation, etc. through standardized attachments on regular fucking posts. Fediblock posts should have some JSON stapled to them that my admin UI can recognize, review, and offer to merge into my own config, with an annotation for the source. CSVs don't carry enough context, AP activities are hideously fluid and not adequate for this task.

looking for speculative fiction of any kind (sci-fi, fantasy, magical realism) written by author's who are not English native speakers (hence which is not written originally in English), but which had hopefully an English translation.
ideally, something recent and also with radical leftist tendencies (i'm recovering from having started three-body problem and got saved right on time by a comrade on here).
any recs/help?

Slight correction: Linux drivers *do* exist, but not in the kernel; there's some random person's repository that contains out-of-tree drivers which, according to them, "are not official and are hacked together from other Realtek drivers"

TFL took away the bus stop countdown sign.
So we installed our own.
Guess who now has a comically oversized USB Bluetooth dongle with massive antenna that provides wireless headphone coverage through the whole house?
(It's technically a WiFi 6 dongle with Bluetooth 5.3 support on the side (or rather "Wireless 5.3" support, in the manufacturer's words), but there's no Linux drivers for the WiFi part, only for the Bluetooth part...)

Literally 9/10 of the people accused of being a secret trans person beating up on "poor defenseless women" at the Olympics is a Black/African cis or intersex woman
But sure sure, the idea of proper womanhood isn't an inherently racialized one

It is fascinating to see two companies duking out in public over which of them owns creative work that was.... let's see... written, curated, moderated, and edited by community users for free.
At the end of the day, it isn't even that the fight is over whether or not AI companies should have to pay for training data *per se*; it's about trust, and about who owns owns that work.

uspol, furries, kink, Elon Musk, the world is a joke
Elon Musk was kicked out of the Bay Area Babyfur community.
Much respect to the furries for recognizing how much of a toxic piece of shit Elon is, and giving him no quarter. Even if this may have led to him acquiring twitter so that he could avoid being kicked out, it really shows the power of furry communities to maintain a healthy environment.

Aspiring manipulators of public perception take note: this is how you guide a narrative away from harming your own communities.
One option would be to ignore it because, even if it's about someone you hate, it makes fun of your own community. To do so would give up control of the narrative, and it's going to come out anyway. To suppress it would align your interests with his.
