I like tech when it's not used to automatically deny social welfare. When it's careful, helpful, maybe weird or surprising. Always antifascist.

Kudos if you interact with me before you follow me.

wallpaper which is an extended version of cover of the album "ctrl" by sza. it shows several old computer parts, mostly beige but some black screens and keyboards, piled up on a meadow under a tree. in front of the monitors there's a person (sza) leaning on and resting next to one of the monitors, looking at the camera

i wrote arnes.space/fleck/lodestone/ a while ago. it's a search engine that allows you to find stuff you fav'ed on the fediverse, even if your instance does not support extended search functionality.

i was just able to find a meme again (see attachment) because people on the fediverse care about adding alt text to images. the curb cut effect is real!

anyways, let me know if you're using lodestone or if you're trying it out, i'd be interested if other people find it useful at all

square crop meme with an upper line saying "the only posers i fuck with are decomposers". a bunch of cut-out mushrooms with a thick black border are placed at the center of the meme, before the word "decomposers". the meme uses bright saturated colors, and even the pale background, which is a cross-section of the upper soil layers explaining the decomposition process, is over-saturated
