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.

Kinda feels like it's time to pull this one out again.
Some days, you just want to sit on a post and scream.

Does anyone know of an #OpenAccess full-text #PDF #search engine/tool using which I can search for relevant PDFs from a self-hosted #database?
Context: we have a curated database of #research articles but so far our search capability has been limited to tagged keywords or title and abstract field search only. We'd like to be able to search the entire PDF.
Side note: I know that PDFs are not a great way to store scientific information. I'd prefer not to use a proprietary #LLM if possible

Squatnet: **Amsterdam: Frederiksplein 52 gekraakt**
"Op 30 dec 2024 is het Frederiksplein 52 gekraakt. Sindsdien wordt het gebouw bewoond door een woongroep. In de benedenverdieping is een sociaal centrum geopend. In deze ruimte kunnen mensen samenkomen om van elkaar te leren, dingen te maken en te organiseren op een autonome en sociale manier, zonder winstoogmerk. De nadruk zal liggen op […]"

Nou. Blijkbaar verkoopt de Kruidvat geen mondkapjes meer. Lekkere drogist ben je dan.
Does anyone here have opinions about befriending crows? Whether this is a good or a bad thing, whether there are any particular risks or problems associated with it, etc.?

I've been working on resurrecting a 20-year-old social media concept and it only just dawned on me that the vast majority of people on the internet today, even those older than me, will have never seen this concept and so it will be brand new to them

I think what I want from Star Trek that's been missing since like Voyager is a little bit more time doing the work of establishing that the Star Trek future is good and a future we'd all want
And a little bit less emphasis on assuming we already have that in mind and subverting it

I've definitely been having A Day so far.
type of guy
Interprets every single direct criticism of their views as a direct personal challenge and affront of their character... even when they weren't even the one being talked about
type of guy
Absolutely refuses to consider the needs or experiences of someone who doesn't look like them, even if it wouldn't cost them anything to do so, and insists on being Objectively Correct solely because their claims align with their own experiences and beliefs

technology rant
@elilla Reminds me of this powerful kunstbüro poster I saw at GPN. It was for an artist talk by @charlotteeifler titled <<IMAGINE ALL TECH IS MADE BY PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU>>
Didn't see the talk, but that poster stuck with me. Just imagine.

I don't necessarily disagree that phones might be harmful for kids' development.
I just don't know if they're nearly as harmful as say, repeated covid infections, a collapsing biosphere, a justifiably bleak vision of their future, or even a prevalent lack of agency, independence, and spaces for socialisation.
I'd focus on those first. Then phones.

delivery options in the UK:
UPS: our drivers are wearing shorts 365 days of the year. this magically results in packages arriving. we're not sure how this works either.
Royal Mail: is it a letter? we're good at letters. haven't quite got the hang of boxes though.
Yodel: we thought about delivering it and it's the thought that counts.
Evri, wearing a fake moustache and a t-shirt that says "totally not Hermes": your package has been thrown in a bush just off the M6. fuck you.
A while ago, Aldi in NL recalled some cutlery set due to "having sharp edges which can result in injury".
Like, I understand what they were going for there, but I think they could've phrased the problem a little more clearly
