They/them online pseudonym. Anti-capitalist, anti-religious, anti-spiritual, anti-AI, anti-fascist. I was apparently raised in one of the more relaxed branches of a cult.

I don't have a fleshed-out political theory yet. I'm not sure I can attain to one, but I belong somewhere among the anarchists and socialists.

I make music, pottery, food, repairs, software, and hardware. I boost much more than I post, but I don't boost images without alt-text.

Fascists fuck off.

@lightweight I would add that one addiction strategy is to deskill /you/. If a task is trivial ( | cut -d' ' -f2 ) but the only way you "are meant to" do it is to beg microslops cope-a-lot to send you the line, you /do/ lose the ability to do it yourself see the psychology of learned helplessness.

@screwlisp
Since I haven't ranted about this for a long time: human brains and minds are not Turing Complete nor equivalent, trivially, since humans are wrong like *ALL THE TIME*.

Turing machines are not. QED.

for example:

"Do not let PVC jacketed cable (especially line cords) come into contact with styrofoam, especially packing peanuts." The peanuts will dissolve the jacket of the cable.

I seem to be deeply offended by wasteful systems. My household had no need for a whole-ass desktop to be running every moment of every day, just to serve files and provide backups, but it was working *fine.* Can't leave well-enough alone, I guess.

I tell myself this is the tech-fetishist equivalent of survivalist training, except I'll probably need actual survivalist training if shit keeps going the way it's going.

Data centers sucking down billions of gallons of water per day, burning through terawatt-hours of electricity, and here I am merging my home server and router into a single ARM device to save a couple hundred watts like a chump.

I'm curious if there's someone out there:

- who's having or adopting a kid soon
- who's had a falling out with a family member or doesn't have much family support for whatever reason
- who'd appreciate some crochet baby stuff
- who's patient (might take a bit)

If this is you, please reach out. I had a falling out with my pregnant sister and am feeling quite sad about the lost opportunity to make something for a child. You'd be helping me and I'd love to help you.

boosts okay.
