Software Developer (Oxford)

moved to @hailey

Writer, blogger, geek and skeptic. Sometimes very silly.

American expat living in Toronto, likes cycling (especially bicycle touring) sometimes on Zwift, cooking, writing and trying new things. Studying Hindi in my spare time. Libraries are my favourite thing.

Smol. Grumpy. Tastes vaguely of smoked pigmeats.

They / them. I'm a #writer. I #knit, #cook, #sew, procrastinate on writing, and program very ill. Purportedly a "privacy extremist." :blobcatgiggle: I operate the memes and review account @HabitatRing . On the Fediverse since August 18, 2018. Contact me for more secure communication channels.

"Linda" is newly my name. I've been "Naga" or "Pat" before (leaving this here for now for ease of continuity, and neither of them is exactly male-coded).

I'm a disabled (severe #MECFS), #ActuallyAutistic, queer, white, #TransWoman in my 50s, living in North Carolina in the US.

Queer, in my case -> Something not readily defined or labeled, as opposed to Queer -> fuck you. Having spent most of my life looking to the world like a cis-het man, I don't feel I readily own that.

Phase 1 of my #GenderQuest is complete. I am a woman, contrary to what I believed for 56 years and change.

My sexual orientation is "kinky." I'm gray-ace: I'm sexually pulled toward the person tying me up, largely regardless of gender or anatomy. Outside of kink, I don't really have a sexual orientation at all. My aesthetic appreciations are broad, tilted toward femme people, but not exclusively, and aren't particularly linked to my sexuality.

I'm the owned and collared pet dragon of my wife, Jalan.(genderfluid, she/her). Dragonlet is our (at this writing) nine-year-old nonbinary child (he/they). I also have a son in his early 30s from a previous marriage. Jalan and I are polyamorous. Jalan has a lover, but I don't have energy for another relationship right now.

Profile picture: I'm a trans woman in my late 50s. I am wearing a green, sleeveless dress. I have short reddish-brown hair and am wearing wire-rimmed glasses and gold hoop earrings--small diameter but wide. My lips are deep red. I'm very happy. The lighting is enhanced in the picture, making my hair look as red as I wish it still were!

I will accept your follow request (probably). But I don't use the automatic follow request feature in glitch-soc/Mastodon. Follow requests appear in my notifications. And I manually review them. So if you follow me and I don't immediately follow you back it could be because I'm offline. Resting from screens, reading. So don't worry if it takes a while.

Progressive. Heterodox socialist (e.g. I think people like Anton Pannekoek and Otto Rühle are interesting, but i also believe in doing practical reforms in parliaments. Plus I also like some social democratic historical positions = As I said, heterodox.).

Ecology and climate issues are of paramount importance. Degrowth is an interesting concept that should be considered.

LGBTQIA+ rights are human rights.

People who do FOSS *without slop* are true heroes. Thank you! 🙏

I'm Swedish and live in Sweden.

Sverige. Skriver huvudsakligen på svenska. Kan dela och kommentera grejer på engelska. Fast det händer att jag skriver inlägg/toots på engelska också.

Olika intressen, exempelvis #bookstodon, bibliotek , #bookwyrm , politik , schysst samhälle. Digital integritet.

Började på Mastodon 17 februari 2025. Då på instansen mastodon . social. Bytte till min nuvarande instans som inte har någon teckenbegränsning per toot/inlägg. Eller 1 000 000 tecken visavi 500 på min tidigare instans.

Min nuvarande instans innebär utöver generös teckenbegränsning att den är välmodererad och att den använder sig av glitch-soc som kan möjliggöra, exempelvis, kursiv och fet stil i toots/inlägg. Det kan göras genom att använda sig av HTML för textformatering.

För svenska termer relaterade till IT rekommenderar jag varmt den eminenta webbplatsen och ordlistan Svenska datatermgruppen.
https://dataterm.termado.net/

Sedan 31 december 2025 har tråkigt nog Svenska datatermgruppen lagt ner sin verksamhet. Ordlistan och förkortningarna är nu del av den mycket bredare och generella webbplatsen för fackliga termer,
Rikstermbanken. Det gör att specifika IT-termer kan vara lite svårare att lokalisera, eftersom somliga träffar ger synonymer från flera olika fackliga fält. Det kan betyda att du ibland behöver rulla ner i rullningslisten för att hitta den träff som är specifik för IT.

Sv. En.

Vänförfrågan eller boosting från en profil som helt saknar beskrivning med inte en enda egen toot på den profilens flöde = instablock.

Friend request or boost by empty profile and/or profile with not a singular toot of its own = instablock.

Jag gillar, använder och kan rekommendera webbläsaren som är en Firefox-avgrening och har ett fokus på digital integritet, Ironfox. (Det är också en webbläsare som till skillnad från vanliga Firefox aldrig kommer använda sig av så kallad "AI".)

I like and use, and can recommend, the privacy focused Firefox fork Ironfox.
