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.

Proposal: arguing that any sort of technological change is 'inevitable' automatically disqualifies one from commenting on technology
spicy take, programming
The biggest technical hurdle in programming today is that it's way too difficult to deal with any sort of persistent data, and both conventional data management systems and the 'magic' persistence systems we have today are woefully inadequate for the job

Things I have learned at work today: Firefox (or one of the extensions I have installed) gets VERY sad if I open a webpage that has 3.5k forms on it and then try to use one of them

Dat "tijd voor solidariteit"-documentje van GL-PvdA zou een stuk geloofwaardiger zijn als ze niet steeds met de staart tussen de benen weg zouden rennen bij demonstraties zodra de politie losgaat om vervolgens de schuld af te schuiven op 'relschoppers'
Happy downtime day everyone!

ableism, wojaks
if you post or boost that horrible ableist 4chan bullshit meme format where "stupid" people are depicted as being physically deformed and grotesque, you are normalizing eugenics thinking! and spreading 4chan shit around! It's gross!

Ah, I guess it's time again for the Yearly Incident where a new generation of sysadmins and developers learns that centralizing your access management also means centralizing your points of failure
Sometimes it feels like every GDPRtoday newsletter is just like:
COUNTRY 1: The DPA imposed a massive fine on EvilCorp Inc.
COUNTRY 2: The DPA imposed a big fine on Dubious Engineering Ltd.
COUNTRY 3: The DPA fined the literal government for data mishandling
NETHERLANDS: The DPA has upheld that it's Totally Okay for companies to do this sketchy thing

I went to a talk lately that was mostly about something else, but the speaker came out with:
“If you only remember one thing from this talk, remember this. Everyone in this room who likes helping people, raise your hand.”
Every hand, or nearly every hand, went up.
“If you like asking other people for help, keep your hand up.”
Almost every hand went back down.
“As you can see, people like helping you. When you ask for help, you’re making them feel good, even if you don’t like asking.”
I’ve genuinely forgotten the rest of the presentation but I won’t forget that.
