Just read this 2015 piece by @qntm.org on why abolishing time zones is a terrible idea, and it's brilliant. Not because it argues against them, but because it just follows the logic through. By the end you've watched the proposal quietly collapse under its own weight.

Interested and curious about almost everything. Most interested in dogs (mine), knitting (mine but possibly yours) and automation.

Public Universal Computer Toucher. Fan of musicks, owner of groovebox, unfinisher (and currently unstarter) of ideas. A nonmachine that turns caffeine into anxious anarchism. Lone agent of chaos. One of them neo-luddites your techbros warned you about.
Do not believe in a system that does not allow you to dismantle it.
Fuck generative AI and all it represents. Happy to be left behind.

Structural biology (XFEL crystallography, cryoEM, electron crystallography) data processing methods developer. I use my degree in chemistry to write software to use physics to understand biology. As of 2024, based in Hamburg. Ich hätte gern, wenn du mein schlecht Deutsch korrigierst, ob du das willst.
70% coffee by volume. I’m really into electronics, 3D printing, and sewing right now, and trying very hard to learn German. I have a very fluffy and affectionate cat. Big fan of bicycles and trains, better public infrastructure generally, and investment in collective wellbeing generally. Food motivated; very easily bribed with coffee and pastries. Always learning.
I'd rather you get a sense of my values from checking my feed, but in very-very-brief, fascism is bad, open source and open science are necessary but not sufficient, and the right to repair includes yourself.
