I don't own a car. I take public transit everywhere, and I do think personal vehicle use has real environmental costs. But I don't think driving is inherently unethical. I live in Seoul, and the city makes transit easy for me. That's not a virtue. It's a condition I happen to benefit from. Some […]

RE: framapiaf.org/@blp/1160593696717010… For a long time I thought I was weird for being the only person to prefer smooth. Now I think I have a very mild allergy and just don't want my throat scratched up

RE: hachyderm.io/@diemkay/1160007106030… Seriously, I love my power-user tools but open source needs to remember how important usability by non-nerds is if we're going to actually "disrupt" the silicon valley hellscape

Ok. They’ve pissed me off. I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards: 1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.
