Autistic technology nerd into electronic music, FOSS, sci-fi, and retro gaming, among other things. I try to stay open-minded and rational, and encourage others to do the same.
Boundaries: Don't label or diagnose me without my consent. Non-sexual flirting is okay, but ask before making overt sexual comments. Tell me when I do something wrong, and give me the benefit of the doubt; I promise I'm trying to do the right thing.
A couple additional notes:
- There were plenty of federated communication platforms before Identi.ca. Usenet, FIDOnet (federated BBSes), IRC networks, and of course, e-mail are examples. The lineage to Mastodon is less direct, but it's there.
- The Diaspora social network, founded and crowdfunded in 2010 by four NYU students and inspired by the ideas of Eben Moglen, is another large federated microblogging platform, but uses its own protocol and is separate from the others.
- The maintainers of GNU social also worked on the federated music community GNU FM, of which the most prominent instance was Libre.fm (which I also used around the same time I used GNU social). As @mattl@xoxo.zone describes it, GNU social was his effort to redirect use of GNU FM as a social network, to something better suited for social networking. Both projects started around 2009.
Institutions designed to help disabled people really don't seem to understand that sometimes, disabilities (especially forms of neurodivergence) make it HARD to do things, but not necessarily impossible.
If keeping up with expectations is so difficult it traumatizes me, but I just barely manage to do it most of the time, nobody cares. Unless something is physically preventing me from doing a thing, the response is just "here's some resources to help you with time management".
woem.space appears to be down right now, so i am here. how's everyone doing?
Inspired by the recent 20th Anniversary LRRcast, I did some archive.org digging for old LoadingReadyRun videos. Here's a treasure trove of pixelly 2000s Internet comedy.
@pathfinder@cutie.city exactly, i have tried every time management or planning strategy people throw at me, and i'm pretty sure the reason for my "time management issues" is a disability, not that i haven't heard the right advice yet
@PlayAllTheThings@linernotes.club sadly, you cannot stop the restless march of time... but you can have a happy birthday!
