Mikal with a k @sfba.social Interested in All Of The Things, which is probably why I follow you.
Things I do: #LandscapePhotography and #Protest #Photography, #paragliding, #StormChasing, #border and #HumanRights #activism.
Intellectual hobbies I watch from the sidelines: science, security/privacy, online sociality and general internet theorizing. My camera shoots fascists. Photos my own unless noted.
Moving target.
You can write to me via my website, though Signal gets the quickest response.

This came to digital blows over whether to federate with Threads not so long ago. A LOT of us said hell no to letting Meta's data vampirism and sociopathic surveillance back into our networks.
OMFG this so much. Especially since most tutorials are ponderously slow and tedious. At the other extreme, are the ones with no subtitles and no sound where you are expected to follow a cursor flying around the screen clicking on things and are supposed to understand what happens. Those in particular should die in a fire.
