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.

If you're feeling sick
You can cancel the party or dinner or whatever or tell them you're not coming
Even if it's the last second
You could save someone else from getting sick
And also in some cases, if you cancel, the other party will be relieved that they get some unexpected quiet time
(And also running a script to automatically delete the 850k or so spam users on my Forgejo instance)
Current project: making a utility library to automagically make Promistreams clonable
I wasn't planning to spend this evening on server maintenance, but here we are

Say they theoretically - very purely theoretically - we'd want to move OSNews from WordPress (hosted outside of WP itself) to something else because of *points straight at Mullenweg*, what would our options be?
Don't mention Hugo or I will block you.

hot take, maar dan in het nederlands
Jeugdloon is uitbuiting en moet afgeschaft worden. De enigen die er beter van worden zijn werkgevers, en het sloopt de verhoudingen in de banenmarkt.
(Do not tell me to "tune my Synapse" unless you intend to *commit* to help solve these performance issues to its full extent)
Why is Synapse such absolutely fucking trash software

Amazon has a big strike going on right now, and people are saying "Don't buy from Amazon! It's crossing the picket line!”
Au contraire. This isn't that kind of strike. This is a strike where they WANT Amazon to feel the pressure of orders backing up. They want capacity problems. Buy all the stuff you need but not in a timely manner! Back up their queues! Make it hurt!
Note that the Union is not calling for a Boycott at this time, if they do then that changes things.

reflections on abuse, self-worth, and "fair" (+)
jasmine just said "abusers always view the abuse as fair" to me
i already know this... both intuitively and from my own reading about these dynamics.
still, it really hits me when i think about this.
for years i internalized that "fairness".
it has made healing from the abuses of my life that much harder, because on a fundamental level i viewed the abuses as fair. i was told they were fair.
even today, i will credit my upbringing with equipping me to navigate power structures in this absolutely fucked up world of capitalism and hierarchy.
the reason i credit my abusers instead of celebrating my own resilience to handle this world despite my abuse is that i justify the abuse to myself as fair.
i was told that i had to be abused to prepare me for the world, the abuses of the world feel the same as these abuses i was raised to endure. the justification feels true, but the psychological research says otherwise. the way i react to sweetness and love says otherwise. my inability to truly thrive despite my successes says otherwise.
one more reason to get rid of my ideas of "deserving".
one more reason to redefine "fair" under my new value system.
one more reason to love myself even harder for being authentically me.

New #webdev concept: The VNC test.
If viewing a website over a VNC session uses less data than directly loading it in a browser, it fails the test.
Edit: Not a new concept, thank you @cybertailor for this reply!

What kind of tea does a web developer drink?

re: kink, question 
Incidentally, creatures in (Flemish) Belgium also qualify, for all practical purposes and intents it's close enough :p

every web browser has to support some weird microsoft image format and will look for a file under a fixed path when loading a website, because that’s how internet explorer did favicons like 25 years ago
I'm currently evaluating CSS UI toolkits, and it's kind of depressing how few of them have even a vaguely capable data table component

kink, question
So, are there any creatures on fedi who are in NL and are into hard kink especially around dubcon/noncon stuff? Everyone always seems to be in Germany...

Good job everyone who posts nature pics with alt text, you’re the best
