- 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.

The main argument I've heard for having only buttons for volume control is so it can be controlled by a remote or software, and while that prevents using potentiometers, I don't understand why that somehow prevents using a rotary encoder for volume control. Sure, you don't have nice hard stops at the max and min volume, but twisting a knob is still much better than having to button mash volume up/down

I do laundry at my aunt and uncle’s house and take them dinner as thanks. Part of the evening ritual is watching the news, which is jaw-droppingly off the hook for someone who gets most of her news from Mastodon and word of mouth. The ads are Very Special, too. I am sooooo far out of their target audience it’s like an alien culture.

I'm so deeply ad-blocked and click-bait blocked (and I don't really do things like Netflix or cable) that when I see an add on a screen on the subway I'm like a person from the past and horrified, scandalized, astonished, and generally much less able to cope than most people I think.
Because it's the only video ad I've seen all week ... maybe longer.

"Simple session middleware for Koa. Defaults to cookie-based sessions and supports external stores. [...] The session is stored in a cookie by default, but it has some disadvantages: Session is stored on client side unencrypted [...]"

Calling yourself "the best Node.js framework" with no further qualifications or context is a surefire way to make me distrust your project...

A rant on why I think we need realistic Solarpunk, plus some other thing 1/2 ☀️
Felt compelled to make this. It will finally stop floating around in my head 🎉
Podcast over here if you're interested: https://podcast.tomasino.org/@SolarpunkPrompts

corporate culture, suicide of a worker
Anyone up for a bet on how many Koa applications are unknowingly running with this default configuration being used for authenticating users?

programmers are always posting like "worked on tracking down an issue with a Flurble deployment for twelve hours. the problem wasn't in Flurble at all - it was in the Gumbies install. It turns out if you install Gumbies 3.0 over Gumbies 2.7 and don't do a cache flush on all the client spiders they'll get stuck in the crystal maze." then you look up Gumbies and the site is one of those scroll scroll scroll types with one sentence per page, like
"GUMBIES is a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale Woodchips playgrounds.
GUMBIES automates and streamlines away watersliding phases, meaning your team can get right to the chipping.
See why Microsoft, OpenAI and Bloingo have embraced GUMBIES in their Woodchips workflows."
and you get to the bottom and you're like I want this I guess but I still don't know what it is

I definitely had an MMR. But I just had a blood test for measles immunity and… nope. None.
I’m getting a new MMR
If you’re older, or don’t know if you got an MMR, get tested or get the shot.
