I'm the queer, mentally ill, pagan nerd your parents warned you about. If your blood pressure didn't just spike, we'll probably get along fine.

Likes: computers, walkable cities, linguistics, shitposts, gay shit
Dislikes: computers, people being dumbshits about things that can kill, bigotry, apologists for awful people who made kind of okay things (eg. RMS, JKR)

Ich spreche Deutch, bin aber kein Muttersprachler.

Hah. Today I got two emails, in this sequence:

  1. Roku saying they looked at my resume for a test automation engineer and turned me down
  2. LinkedIn telling me that Roku is recruiting for test automation engineers in my area!

@foone Actually had a similar thing happen for a retail gig back in the day. I didn't realise when I applied it was for the same physical location that turned me down the year before.

omg Chuck from Strong Towns wrote the best smackdown of a "why don't you just let people live the way they want to live" replyguy that I've ever seen.

It's so good that I'm willing to link to the Bad Site so that people can read it:

Chuck has SO much more patience for this bullshit than I do.

I guess that's why he's the advocate and I'm just the angry YouTuber.

Screenshot of a tweet from a typical replyguy who responds with a Tweet ending in "Maybe we could just let people decide what kind of place they want to live in."

@notjustbikes Don't tell me how to live my life!

It's annoying when people complain that my content is "too eurocentric". And after making my Shinjuku station video a lot of people are saying that "finally" there's some "non-eurocentric" content. 🙄

I make videos about MY experiences in cities. I don't summarize a bunch of facts you could easily find on Wikipedia, Twitter, or news articles, and then lazily recite it over stock footage.

I actually GO to places, experience them in person, and over 90% of my videos is footage I filmed myself.

@notjustbikes I hope I'm wrong, but it seems like outside of Europe and specific parts of Asia, there's not really a whole lot of non-carcentric infrastructure. If I'm right then it literally wouldn't be your fault even if you had unlimited time and money to see every single city in the world.

The new Prime Minister of the Netherlands has a degree in urban planning, so that's something, I guess.

I'm just glad it's not Wilders.

@notjustbikes ngl he kind of looks like he's trying to resist the urge to murder the photographer...and is just barely able to hold together for the actual shoot.

Apparently DoorDash has started filling in missing item descriptions by generating them with AI.

I'm sure this'll not cause ANY problems

@notjustbikes Forgive me for fangirling, but knowing you're on Mastodon just made me entire day! Thank you for basically everything you've done with your online presence!

Fangirling over. Serious question, though: Have you ever been to and cycled to get to places in BC and what did you think? I spent 10 days in Victoria recently and it's not amazing, but a breath of fresh air for me as a resident of a "good" biking city by US standards. (Chicago)

@notjustbikes Completely fair. It was a lot less expensive for me to take a ferry from Seattle

I just saw a job listing for a company doing "home defense using AI and non-lethal deterrence"

The company's name? Sauron.
