I like my Linux laptop that crashes once or twice a day. I like my Mastodon account where you can't really talk to anyone about anything but webdev or Rust. I like my Lenovo tablet that sometimes switches into Japanese for no reason. I like my Steam Deck that needs unique settings fiddling per game. I'm willing to put up with some friction & frustration from my computers & software. But what I can't ~abide~, and will twist my life into pretzels to avoid from my computers & software, is *malice*.

Do I feel like this computer is mine, or The Company's? Do I feel like The Company is trying to manipulate me? Do I feel like The Company feels that they own me? Does the computer feel like a sort of interloper, in my life, something that's wormed its way into my home, something I can't get rid of, something that will use this foothold someday to hurt me?

A little story based on a dream last night.
--
We took the coastal road into town after dark, headlights cutting through the mist and clarifying nothing in the haze but movement. The sea, close and unseen, whispered secrets.
Mia drove. I was still sweating out nicotine when we passed the first hand-painted sign: “NO DRONES. NO CLOUD. NO EXPLAINING.”
We were looking for machines, but not those machines.

was looking up that one black metal band where the one guy got murdered and another guy was like "well I was gonna murder him myself" (mayhem) and found on the page of the nazi murderer bassist one of the funniest Wikipedia sentences I've ever seen

And yes, I *could* stand to post on Here more. Maybe what I need is more cool people to follow. Assuming the cross-instance follow function works. I keep running into instances where it doesn't. 
i am, in fact, posting this here instead of on bsky (where it's more relevant) because bsky is having some bizarre problems and not letting my posts go all the way through.
in fact, the only kind of community moderation that "works" on a huge website is the kind where the mods are completely isolated from their users, unable to perceive what their populace find wrong with the experience, never seeing anything from their point of view. but of course, the kind of people who want to run a site that big are the kind who *want* to be citizens of it, which means they're inevitably going to be insufferable asshats.
there can be a website where the mods are well respected by its populace, but it has to be a site where the mods are citizens of the town that they run. they must be capable of being friendly with all of their people. which means such a site is unsustainable if it gets too big. as soon as the mods are unable to connect with their users, they cannot serve them. thus, a citizen-mod is incompatible with infinite-growth social media.
https://netizen.club/~wildweasel/shelter/index.html - Alright, I've sat on this for long enough; I added a new section to my webspace, about all of my weird computers that I own, the naming scheme I have assigned them, and photographs of (most of) them.
