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.

Everyone is talking about Apple trying to resist the UK's demand to put backdoors in their software, but hardly anyone is talking about the backdoor they actually put in their hardware.
"Kaspersky’s researchers affirmatively and without question found a deliberately concealed, never documented, deliberately locked but unlockable with a secret hash, hardware backdoor which was designed into all Apple devices starting with the A12, A13, A14, A15 and A16"

transphobia PSA, Sadasia club Dortmund
just noting down for the NRW BDSM bubble that DifferentEvents/Sadasia Dortmund defines "woman" as "no penis" in their events.
uspol, google maps
Google showing the Gulf of Mexico as "Gulf of America" for users in the US, likely really is consistent with their usual internal policy - similar locale-specific differences exist for many places in their dataset.
Showing *both* names for users outside of US/Mexico, however, likely *isn't* consistent with their internal policies... and it smells of obeying in advance.
ph+, medication
Today's post-transplant medication update: prednisolon dosage has been reduced (20 -> 15mg daily, and one medication moment instead of two), and tacrolimus dosage has been reduced from 14mg to 10mg after they found my tacrolimus levels were *still* on the high side.
Gradually becoming less immunocompromised!

Real talk: Google, Meta, X and Amazon have been stifling innovation in the tech space, for decades at this point, by eliminating competition via buying or burying them. They're at the top of the pile not because they're the best companies, but because they're the most ruthless.

All known human languages display a surprising pattern: the most frequent word in a #language is twice as frequent as the second most frequent, three times as frequent as the third, and so on.
The same pattern is universally found across human languages bit also occurs in #whale song.
This complex signaling system, like human language, is culturally learned by each individual from others.

I wrote up some notes about #DBus, how it works (to my knowledge), and how to use it - that hopefully are more understandable than most articles on the topic: https://wiki.slightly.tech/books/miscellaneous-notes/page/working-with-dbus

Vraag aan de sociaal-democraten: Stel je eens voor dat we daadwerkelijk de kans zouden hebben om het kapitalisme te ontmantelen en een ander systeem te bouwen, gebaseerd op mensenrechten, gelijkwaardigheid, solidariteit, gemeenschappelijk beheer van productiemiddelen en duurzaamheid, zouden jullie dan meedoen?

Question for people who use Firefox on Android.
It's really annoying me that, whenever I return to the app from elsewhere, eg a other app or lock screen, it reloads the current page from scratch rather than just resuming where it left off. Seems really unnecessary, especially if it's some text I was half way through reading.
I'd like to be able, for example, to open Firefox when I'm on the tube (with no signal) and continue reading an article.
I can't find anything in settings to make this happen - am I missing something?
Or perhaps there's another browser which will do this?

Anthropologists might be puzzled by the cultural processes of the IETF (❤️) or what I call "Specification Theater":
- "RFC" - never has a comment section nor does it ask for comments
- "Experimental" it's actually in production in several places, RIGHT NOW! And it won't change for another 20 years or so
- "This document is not [...] a specification" it de facto is..
(This is a joke post please don't correct me in replies thank you)

Hotel FAQ
"Sowohl Babybetten, als auch Kondome sind bei uns kostenlos. Entscheide selbst"
slightly spicy take, business
A manager who tries to 'cut costs' is never going to be a competent manager, because cost reductions are a consequence of good process optimizations and not a mechanism in and of itself, and part of being a competent manager means understanding that.

Never EVER forget how fast corporations shed their supposed ethics the moment it became politically comfortable to do so.
