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 have finally remembered to drink water today
I guess this is a checkpoint, did you drink water today?

A friend who used to do tech support told me that he learned that instead of asking "is it plugged in" it was better to ask the customer to unplug it and plug it back in. Then they might notice that it was unplugged but they don't have to admit it. I think about that a lot
(I promise it's not my fault; I'm not allowed to do heavy work until I finish recovering from transplantation!)
Meticulously planning my vegetable garden on computer while my unfinished and therefore useless raised beds look at me accusingly from the garage

A good percentage of my friends are Nazis. That percentage is zero; that’s a good percentage of Nazi friends to have.

with different disasters - both natural and otherwise - on the rise, I am looking for recommendations on a radio receiver that would be well suited (also) for in such occasions.
What I imagine - but if you thought it through better, do let me know - one would need:
- AM, FM, DAB (I imagine internet radio is most fragile)
- battery - either easy replaceable or rechargeable
- also work without batteries
- good quality and sturdy
- portable
- world coverage would be cool

It occurs to me that 'meritocracy' is just the divine right, but for capitalists - if the system is currently the dominant one, then that must be "because god ordained it so" / "because it was the best system and therefore rose to the top", and therefore it is above criticism

You know those shaped-plastic blister packages that a lot of products are sold in, filling up your plastic waste bin? Here's an easy way to (partly) reuse them if you have a vegetable garden! All you need is scissors and some way to label things.
A lot of this style of packaging has large rectangular flat areas of plastic; almost always on the back of the package, sometimes areas on the front too. Find all of them and cut them out, so you're left with a stack of flat, rectangular(-ish) pieces of plastic.
Then just cut those rectangles into strips of about 5-10cm. They don't need to be cut nicely, they just serve as posts for your labels! Then either print labels and stick them on or, alternatively, write on them with a thin permanent marker.
Now you have tags for your plants, without needing to buy a bunch of new plastic ones!

Zo’n vakantiehuisje is net een escaperoom waarin je moet zoeken waar alles zit en uitvinden waar de knopjes voor zijn

Het valt me op dat er veel interne tegenspraak binnen het dorp is, rondom de plannen voor een AZC. Mensen die zich uitspreken tegen gewelddadige acties van anderen, mensen die zeggen dat het er juist wel moet komen, mensen die aangeven dat het beter verdeeld kan worden over meer locaties zelfs als dat duurder is...
Ik vraag me heel erg af wat hier allemaal precies aan vooraf gegaan is, want ik ben niet gewend dat er zoveel verschillende geluiden naar voren komen in de berichtgeving rondom AZCs.

Okay but what if we used the trade war as a pretext to pivot the entire country away from the current automobile hellscape by massive investment in public transit
Newly pre-sown indoors: cherry tomatoes, chard, eggplant, garden peas, lettuce, French beans.
Also planted out my opportunistic pumpkin plants. Scattered a bunch of old seeds salvaged from a supermarket pumpkin a while ago, surprisingly they have all turned into plants! Let's see if they survive their relocation into my front garden, and will actually bear fruit.
(It's fine if they don't; they'll still provide ground cover, and I currently don't have anything else planned for the front garden anyway)

Today Google bricked my Chromebook by force-installing a hidden extension that trains a machine vision model on the contents of my screen without my consent, making the whole machine too hot to touch, and I am once again begging someone, anyone, to remove Chrome from Google by any means necessary.
Sowieso moet het eens klaar zijn met die visexpedities ("grote veiligheidscontroles") van politie. Het zal ongetwijfeld goed zijn voor het boetequotum, maar het doet nul komma niks voor de structurele veiligheid en fungeert vooral als manier voor agenten om eens even lekker los te gaan met hun macht.

that may be your experience, but the stopped clock machine has been right or close enough in my personal testing and the benchmarks

My new hobby: when I see a white dude (yes, he's always white, and always a dude) whining about people being wrong for blocking people too much, I block him.
Block blockity.
