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
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.

Still $0/$550. In full panic now. Preparing to be evicted. Miracle again, please??
It still baffles me that some people actually *believe* the fairy tale that "privatization lowers costs".
Like, how could this ever possibly work?! The equipment, people etc. you need for the task don't change, so those costs are essentially fixed. But now you *also* need to pay a for-profit intermediary on top of that.
You don't exactly need a PhD to understand why this doesn't make an ounce of sense...

I still miss skeumorphism. Give me a pastel paper UI that looks like the unhinged interface to a game for an OS and I’m set for life.

"heat pumps" are the fancy new sustainable green heating tech. whereas "airco" is the wasteful energy-intensive cooling system that we "don't need in our kikkerlandje".

They looked at me as if my European passport must have been fake. Racist assholes.

Yeah, sure, I'm the only one wearing a headscarf and thus looking foreign and for sure I'm the only one they check during the illegal border check.

"Stay safe" nah fam I'm tired of safety. Like most privileges, safety leaves me with a bitter aftertaste in the throat. Stay angry. Stay ungovernable. Give them hell.

Mankeeping: Women's emotional labor in heterosexual relationships. Being their partner’s sole support. Managing his stress. Interpreting his moods. Holding his hand through feelings he won’t share with anyone else. Unpaid, unacknowledged, unreciprocated. https://www.vice.com/en/article/mankeeping-is-why-women-are-done-with-dating/
"AI", doom-y
What terrifies me most about the "AI" hype isn't the damage that's currently being done, but what will happen once the billionaires finally realize that it's a dead-end hype and their billions have evaporated with no chance of recovery through the tech itself

@imp3tuz I wrote a long essay about it at https://lenses.alxd.org/ - the story itself is from Sierra Leone, but I work with a lot of people from the Global South :)

The fact that YouTube is now defaulting to AI-dubbed audio and automatic translation for titles and descriptions is so freaking hostile to basically anyone using the platform outside of English-speaking countries.
Fuck AmericaCorp™ for thinking any of us (aka, the rest of the world) actually wants this.
