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?)

  • 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.



  • 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.
