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.

spicy take, standards processes
A standards process that responds to complaints about the spec/tech/system with something like "file a formal spec change proposal if you'd like to see it changed" will only ever produce specifications that benefit the privileged
I can't get over how swathes of academic research into misinformation, as well as a lot of public sources on 'media bias' (including the heavily-advertised ground.news that sponsors all those Youtubers), are all just based on the opinions of A Guy Called Dave.
No, that's not a metaphor or a joke. The guy is literally called Dave.

I wish you could submit a suggested edit for alt text, so that when I do ALT4you labor, the original poster gets a notification and they could just approve it to automatically add it to their images.

You watch a Dutch video, it tries to auto-translate the subtitles to English, so you tell it "no show me the original Dutch"
and then on the next English video it tries to auto-translate the subtitles to Dutch... fucks sake
Jesus christ Youtube, people can speak more than one language you know?
Garbage software can't even understand that I don't want it to translate subtitles, I just want to see whatever the original is unless chosen otherwise

"Fear compounds fear. Fear enables our enemies to make advances that we are unprepared to defend. Fear now makes fear in the future all the more inevitable. Fear is a tool of the enemy. By succumbing to it, we succumb to those who wish to destroy us."

This guy turns on his bike's motor and lets it idle while he takes ages getting on, fiddling with his helmet, gloves and balaclava, and the whole time the thing is guzzling fuel and the engine noise is reverberating between the four walls in this yard

Superpower concept:
Guy who already has an appointment. He's already on the list. Your boss is expecting him. He has a to-good order waiting. Its probably under his last-name if you can just check again real-fast.

"I came here to stand up for the rights of a minority... but this crowd looks like a majority." - Judit Hernádi
#BudapestPride today was illegal... but also the largest we had in 30 years. Incredible turnout. Trying to ban it made it stronger. Propaganda trying to make hate the majority opinion failed.
A handful of counter-protesters blockaded the Freedom Bridge (because irony is lost on them), but the parade moved one bridge over and passed them by.

Hungary has banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which essentially means Pride. Today over 500,000 people in Budapest turned up for a Pride march and told the government to: 'Fuck off!'.
