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 got threatened and had to settle with some lawyer for a few hundred bucks because a catsitter torrented a movie on my wifi network. Yet Anthropic just got away with torrenting the entire Internet and got away with it.
Copyright is a fuck. The fact that the Bavarian gov allows cooperations to bully individuals is a disgrace to the rule of law
A tip: a lot of those price increases for food and other stuff are happening at the lower end of the pricing scale.
It's worth reevaluating for yourself whether that difference between 'the cheap stuff' and 'the more sustainable/fair expensive things' is still as big as it used to be, or not. It just might have become an option.

being obsessed with programming and computers my entire life, then learning everything about them and having that as a job is really funny
because now i don't rally feel that way anymore, but still find it fun?
it's like being a jaded wizard, someone asks me about the magic of how any of this works and i sigh and say "ah, yes of course, DNS"

Whenever I mention that boycotting is a privilege, I inevitably get people trying to explain how wrong I am.
How “easy” it is to find alternatives.
How “important” it is not to support big businesses like Amazon.
How “lazy” it is not to shop local.
They talk over me, condescend and accuse me of not fighting for the cause.
Disabled people need your support and solidarity.
We’re all in this fight together.
When we tell you something is inaccessible, believe us.
Most of us already feel guilty we can’t do more, but there’s many things that aren’t “easy” for us.
Survival is resistance. It’s not “lazy” to utilize a service that will keep you alive.
Fight the fascists. Not one another.
Game tip: if you liked Tavern Master, this is also a neat game to try out: https://www.gog.com/en/game/winkeltje_the_little_shop
Doesn't seem to be well-known, but very much scratches that same itch with the satisfying gameplay loop, and seems to have a bit more meat on the bones too!

I'm looking to commission a sticker design! Details inside
Theme: anti-AI, focusing on the labour exploitation aspect.
Style: must draw attention and be colourful; otherwise it's up to you!
License/attribution: must be possible to redistribute under CC-BY or CC0 (your choice). Feel free to add your name/handle into the design if you want.
Technical: to be offset-printed (full-colour) as an 85x55mm sticker, so must have a decent 'non-critical margin' that is covered by the design but contains no essential elements, as sticker cuts will be inaccurate.
Obviously, no "AI" must be used in its creation.
If you're interested, please respond with some examples of past work that you feel are relevant, and a price estimate (can be adjusted later based on revisions etc.). Either reply or DM works.
Note that I'm often low on spoons so I will only be able to respond to the offers that look most relevant to me. I'll star every reply as an indication that I've seen it, but can't guarantee a response beyond that!
