Security research, software archaeology, nerd of all disciplines. Just barely old enough to remember the 1980s.
@monorail for this exact reason, it really bugs me that keke isn't spiky.
christaone thing I hate about twitter is having zero control of your posts’ reach. it strips agency, flattens context, contributes to uncontrollable harassment in the service of “connection”. imo mastodon’s insistence on following the same value of maximization, removing any ability to foster small local community, is equally harmful. if decentralization is about control then why strip that at the individual and community level? it’s no better than twitter. glad to be on the hometown fork

I understand why Aleister Crowley wanted to coin a term with which to distinguish his variety of paranormal magic from stage magic, but I cannot take his coinage seriously. It has too much of the Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe nature.
4. Gnosticism
I am very much in favor of prioritizing personal spiritual experience over the teachings of an established priesthood, no matter what the established doctrines are.
I do not care for the idea that the material world is inherently evil or even just flawed. I can appreciate the perspective from which incarnate existence inherently involves suffering, but I think the Buddhists have a more humane way of understanding and coming to terms with that.

My thoughts on the Mastodon iOS app and the frustrations within with a side of our long standing problems with Gargron.
If I keep getting likes I'm going to keep going through these in order, but please feel free to reply and ask for a specific one.
3. Michel Foucault
I've never actually read any of his writing. Having skimmed his Wikipedia article, I can see why a lot of extremely online people have strong opinions about him, and I do not think I will join them.
