- 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.

Okay I have to say that the mandatory ice cream that was added to my order *is* very good

It’s not that hard, world.

Inclusion
———————————>
A better, more equitable, healthy and prosperous world for everyone.
Exclusion
<——————————-
An exploitative world, with obscene opulence for a select few and death, poverty and suffering for the rest. Oh, and eventual death for the opulent too once resources are depleted.

@mynameistillian and to any white trans people reading this, this is exactly how racism and other bigotries work too
i'm tired of seeing fellow white trans people realized the dynamics of oppression with regards to being trans but completely fail to expand that revelation to other groups
we all need to be aware of this stuff, because we can't only face it with a unified front

LLM crawlers are aggressively destroying important community infrastructures but sadly there is not an easy fix. Still: Blocking those crawlers should be high on your list of todos

complete shot in the dark, but if you have any of the following:
a dead phat xbox 360 console, revisions Xenon through Jasper (NOT Tonasket/Jasper_B/Kronos (they are all the same thing))
their associated rf boards (Argon, as well as RF01, NOT RF02/xFreedom)
any forbidden knowledge whatsoever of the Xbox 360's I2C like protocol for communication to said RF board (or you know a guy) and/or the means to access it directly from a 360 (e.g. a logic analyzer or such likeness) and an RF02/xFreedom RF board
and you certainly have:
a willingness to collude with me on your end (this implies servicable soldering experience, a raspberry pi pico, and a wireless 360 controller. the project is not that hard and actually makes my second soldering project, so don't feel too scared), or a willingness to chuck said RF board from any of these consoles, besides Tonasket at me (i will likely try to pay shipping if you live within any reasonable distance whatsoever, so in the south/southwestern US, but this is much less preferable than having your cooperation for the both of us if you have the required experience and time, i believe. i am broke.)
let me know. i'm trying to implement a fully featured driver for these boards on the RPI Pico, to convert them for usage as a wireless receiver, which is a time old project but regardless absurdly un- or poorly documented (not even pinouts are consistent) and usually using some overkill nonsense like an arduino duo, and while i've got most of it down i have suspicions that RF02 uses a slightly different command set than the rest of the board revisions; particularly with syncing; and this is the only board revision i have, so if you're willing to throw an Argon or RF01 at me, try my driver yourself if you have the time to put it together, or record communications between your Tonasket and RF02, please send me a dm over here so we can work something out

based on that video clip I am getting this nagging feeling that Nicole the Fediverse Chick is an actual person, and not a stock photo pasted on a scam story as I had assumed. I suppose the photos and clip can be easily mocked up on "AI" these days, but dunno. vibes are different. they feel to me too amateurish, crappy in a human way rather than hallucinatory machine-learning way.
don't get me wrong, this is still sketchy af—I'm seeing admins reporting no less than 70 alts, all sending the exact same "you call can me the Fediverse Chick :D" DMs to their entire userbase. but who is doing this, and why? if it's the type of Chinese mafia long con operation some admins have claimed—why are they targeting Fediverse users of all people? isn't it much easier and more profitable to make friends with older wealthy men on Facebook or X to blackmail them?
as my brain continues to rot I'm leaving open the possibility that Nicole the Fediverse Chick (Polish girl from Toronto) maybe an actual Polish girl from Toronto. if she's able to automate these DMs she's a techie. maybe she wants to be a federated influencer? but how does she post from so many different instances? if only I had a database of Nicole the Fediverse Chick (Polish girl from Toronto)'s accounts, we could check if they're all registration-open or not validated or something, she might have scripted something to both create accounts and mass DM everyone in a misguided attempt to become Fedi-famous? are these from the same IP, are they from Toronto, China, VPN IPs, Tor? I have so many questions, like, does she have some sort of neurodiv lack of understanding that this would make her widely hated? if she's going for reach why the lack of Nicole the Fediverse Chick #content, the abandoned chatrooms, the same identical DM over and over all we get from her? or is she doing this maliciously, as a single-person scam, waiting for gullible marks to DM her back and reel them in privately? is she a Russian honeypot to infiltrate activist networks? is she scientifically designed to look dorky in a way crusheable to lesbians of my disposition in particular? is she into Brazilian women?
even if Nicole is a real person that doesn't discount the "scam mafia" theory of course—she might just be a hired actresses to front the botnet. in which case, are they recruiting, and how much is their cut? Reader, our investigations will continue...

normally when i come across a PDF which i can't annotate or copy text out from, i solve my problem by finding a different publication of the document .
http://www.bruno-latour.fr/sites/default/files/35-MIXING-H-ET-NH-GBpdf_0.pdf
I cannot find a different version of the document. what do y'all do in this scenario?

Pet peeve: the waste generated by appliances for which the consumables and/or wear components stop being available shortly after release.
Think air filters, non-stick grill plates, nonstandard vacuum cleaner bags, ear thermometer caps, seal bag rolls, and so on.
Like, you end up with a perfectly working device that you can't use anymore because you can't replace the one part that's worn out despite it being *expected* that that would happen.

My body temperature is normal and the combination test insists I have neither COVID, nor Influenza A/B, nor RSV, but the pain symptoms sure are telling me that I'm coming down with something

I love the message of this article. Instead of organizations chasing after “10x” “rockstar” engineers, they instead should focus on createing a culture and development pipeline where the average developer does great work.
I’ve seen many unproductive orgs with great engineers stymied by poor dev toolchains & processes.
