- they/them, he/him, whatever, it's not like I have any idea either 🙃
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.

I just released The Cluster, my experimental 2.5D exploration platformer set in an open world that's carefully procedurally planned and generated.
Get it for free on Itch:

Google maps reviews of parking garages is very funny. It’s full of people complaining how their SUV doesn’t fit and leaving one star reviews. Well, maybe, you shouldn’t have bought a giant shitbox, have you considered that?

Jongens dit is gewoon crimineel. En het is niet uniek, dit gebeurt al jaren en men blijft maar de verantwoordelijkheid ontlopen. Ben WOEST.
Er is al van alles geïnformeerd, juridisch loket wordt binnenkort benaderd maar alle advies en tips zijn welkom. Ze zijn aan het eind van hun latijn en ze maken zich zorgen om de gezondheid van hun baby.
Ben of ken je iemand met verstand van huurrecht? Laat me weten. RT: graag, met liefde 💜

Vandaag verhaal gehoord van een collega, jonge vader van kindje van 1, werkt zich helemaal over de kop voor z'n gezin, bijna klaar met inburgering, gaat bijna aan HBO-opleiding beginnen. Er is alleen één groot probleem: zijn huurhuis zit helemaal vol schimmel. En de woningbouw zegt: jouw probleem.
Buren hebben ook schimmel in huis, CJG heeft rapport vol zorg om gezondheid opgetekend. Woningbouw: niet ons probleem zet maar een raampje open.

i wish PC tech reviewers (and the market at large) gave more of a crap about power efficiency
twice the power consumption for being 10% faster than a competing part is criticised in passing, but ultimately treated like no big deal; a new generation bringing just a 5% performance uplift at 33% lower power is a "missed opportunity"

Remembering when some user managed to rename their Mac to have the network host name "localhost" and the ensuing application outage from invalid lookups. Took time to find that root cause.

Tech:
“Dafukk with these goddamn engineers always trying to rewrite our code in the latest shiny for the glorification of their résumés and conference speaker side hustles.”
Also tech:
“Sorry, although you have an amazing amount of experience shipping working software and generating massive returns for investors, you haven’t worked with the latest shiny and we simply don’t have the patience for you to get up to speed. No hire.”

Really wish that the steady drip-drip-drip of privacy violations over the last decade or two hadn't completely fucked our collective will to do literally anything about it

“blakewatson.com - Neglecting the scrollbar: a costly trend in UI design”
https://blakewatson.com/journal/neglecting-the-scrollbar-a-costly-trend-in-ui-design/
IMO, what's happened to the scrollbar over the years is evidence that the software industry is deeply unserious about UX and in fact makes all of it money through oligopoly market manipulation.
If UX and software quality mattered at all—had even the slightest effect on business outcomes—a widget as singularly productive as the scrollbar wouldn’t have been degraded to the extent it has

There was a great short story on Reddit where the billionaires all fucked off in a giant, luxury space ship leaving a ruined Earth behind them. The people cleaned and healed the Earth and redesigned our society with equality and compassion. When the billionaires saw Earth had healed, they returned and told us they would resume their lives. We destroyed their ship in orbit and lived happily ever after. Please, Jeff and Elon, take your sociopathic pals, and head on out!

@joepie91 I’ve never wanted to pay for a browser more than right now.
Jesus christ, we really need an actual proper community-run browser project.
"Mozilla this week said it has acquired ad metrics firm Anonym [...] Asked whether Mozilla has any concerns that its user base, many ardent ad-blockers among them, will oppose Anonym, a spokesperson for the Firefox house told The Register advertising as a business model is what allows the internet to be free and open to everyone, though there's still room for improvement."

Nothing quite like seeing an asshole in a loud sports car making rounds around the city center and then an hour later seeing that exact car being towed by city services 🧡 karma

They're once again trying to delete the Wikipedia article on TESCREAL 🤔
A thoroughly peer reviewed paper, numerous articles and all sorts of mentions later...

Fedi Friends: I really want to display the text of my most recent mastodon post on a webpage. Not an embed - just the text. And the most recent, automatically.
Are there any tools or resources, tutorials, etc, you can point me to?

It's important to know your rights! Even though a mask ban is now law in Nassau County, NY, cops can't:
❌Make you provide a doctors note proving your disability
❌Force you to disclose private health info
❌Make you take off a religious face covering
the matrix thing
Remember how I dropped out from trying to contribute to Matrix because of two core developers being abusive towards folks trying to fix their governance and technical problems?
Yeah. That.
