she/her

I am a feminist and some sort of left anarchist. I like video games, FOSS software, Lord of the Rings, math, and summoning uncountably many demons by digging too deep.

I am not LGBTQ+ but I try to be a good ally. (How’s my driving?)

  • The irony of a billion dollar company losing my personal info and helpfully offering me credit monitoring service from the other billion dollar company that lost my info. It’s so good.

    Throw into the mix: I had to do business with AT&T because they were the only ISP available to my Appartment complex. I never had the choice to not do business with these companies.

    Equifax handles my company’s payroll.

    Please, I want to get off Mr bones wild ride.




  • I really wish they hadn’t included it. I personally found it unenjoyable to watch those first couple episodes because of it.

    (Dear reader: If you’re first reaction to my opinion is that sexual violence against women in this setting is realistic and fits in the show, 1) this is a series with mutant animals caused by radiation and a guy in a robot suit 2) you don’t think much of your fellow man if you think it’s inevitable 3) it’s just like, my opinion, man)

    I haven’t watched the whole first season but we’re about halfway through and they didn’t mention it again. It would have been worse if the main character herself felt more… harmed, but she seems very utilitarian about it. I feel pretty mid about the show overall (for more reasons than just this), and I’m just really tired of acts of sexual violence showing up in media that’s meant to be goofy entertainment.


  • I can’t believe this comment chain is this long and no one has pointed out that drunk and stoned humans are terrible at figuring stuff like this out.

    You’re not planning for the dumbest human trying in earnest. You’re planning for humans who are tired, distracted and/or chemically altered. A 80 IQ person can figure out a weird trash can eventually if they are trying.

    These comments (not just yours) feel misanthropic. I haven’t been to a campsite in ages so I don’t know what sort of trash can puzzlebox we’re talking about, but I work somewhere with alcohol so I can guess what the true issue is.





  • You are always free to host your own lemmy instance. Then you can choose to federate with whoever you want.

    If I hosted an instance, I wouldn’t want to host hate speech or weird porn, and it would also be my right to not do so.

    I also wouldn’t want to bother moderating a lemmy instance for people I didn’t know, and having to hear their demands for what they want to see/not see. That’s just me, personally and I’m glad there are people out there doing the work for me.

    What I’m saying is, if you’re going to interact with a platform with possibly millions of users there’s going to be ground rules, and those take time to agree on. Lemmy is unique in that you can move to an instance that fits you better. I don’t think social media should be monetized, but we can’t ignore they take time and money to run. You have to compromise on somethings sometimes.

    Or you can just run your own.




  • You seem to be very enthusiastic about criticizing apple.

    I just own an iPhone so I don’t think I can engage with you with all these critiques. I bought it because at that point in time, it was cheaper than a Samsung. I had concerns about privacy, and it seemed like apple had better control of their App Store and there was less crapware there.

    I had tried a custom android rom before this (it must have been around 2013, cyanogenmod) but it was too early in development maybe, and it sucked. It might have been the phone I installed it on. At any rate, I gave up on custom roms for a bit.

    My job uses iPhones for an industry specific dispatch software that does not use the cellular network. So I am glad Im familiar with iPhone software, though I wouldn’t have bought one just for this reason. They were using iPods for the software before that, but the iPods didn’t have replaceable batteries and had to be disposed of (which is a shame, they were much smaller)

    My iphone is 5-6 years old now, I’ll buy something else when I have to. Probably something I can try lineageOS or whatever the new rom is.



  • Well, I guess maybe black people should bring more to the table, if [insert racist stereotype] is all white people think around them.

    Well, I guess maybe gay people should bring more to the table, if [insert homophobia] is all straight people think around them.

    Well, I guess maybe Australians should bring more to the table, if spending your entire life living upside down kangaroos is all the rest of the world thinks of you.
