Fairy and pixie things should have no verbal filter and should regularly plainly and cutely say things that make you stop and go "Wow you actually said that"

It's a law.

EMERGENCY #MUTUALAID - get blind wheelchair user back into assisted living

The good news—we reached the halfway point!!

The bad news—it's taken 7 weeks to get this far and we have only SIX DAYS left.

We need a huge push to get Aurora over the line. She is NOT safe if she ends up out on the street again, y'all.

Hi all. I’m Chloe. I’m a 19 year old trans girl, currently in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
I’m planning to study in the Czech Republic to run away from transphobic parents and a transphobic government who has recently introduced an “anti-LGBTQ propaganda” law into effect.
It’s becoming increasingly unsafe for someone like me to remain here.

I have almost all details sorted out, but stuff like the student visa, language exams, flight tickets, visits to the Czech consulate and more will cost money.

All of that amounts to €6000.
It’s a big ask, but I need your help. Please. If you’re able to, I’ll appreciate anything I can get.

Thank you so much. 🩵

Microsoft gave FBI BitLocker keys to unlock encrypted data, because of course they did

Encrypting the data stored locally on your hard drives is generally a good idea, specifically if you have use a laptop and take it with you a lot and thieves might get a hold of it. This issue becomes even more pressing if you carry sensitive data as a dissi

I decided to stop using gmail and all google products in my life so, 6 months ago, I made a domain name and started a subscription to another email provider.

I began switching my email everywhere, beginning with the most obvious accounts, and I want to talk about all the process 👽

I thankfully had a small list ready from the last time I had to switch email (when I changed my name) so I already had a starting point.

Do you like taking unscientific personality tests? I have developed one that will definitely tell you something about yourself. Guaranteed free of malware! Extremely shareable results!! It’s free and online!!!!

IMPORTANT SYSADMIN/DEVOPS PHRASES:

"sorry, cf down"
"sorry, github down"
"sorry, us-east-1 down"
"sorry, DNS" <-- evergreen

"WHY DIDN'T YOU BUILD AROUND IT"
"here's the proposal we put in a year ago, glad to hear you're paying for it now! when shall we start work"
"never mind"

(always put one of these in, no-one will ever pay for it so you'll never have to do it)

🚨 TEACHER NEEDS HELP WITH RENT

"Hi I'm Lugh (aka fairydoctor). I work at an elementary school, and I'm currently attending college, majoring in English and Linguistics. This term, I landed an internship with my college's English Department, but it's been hard finding work study.

As of January 6th, I came down w/ the flu and had to take multiple days off from work. I've been bed bound, and this has further knee-capped my finances."

Saw this argument a couple of times, that I shouldn't expect poor indie dev or poor freelance designer to shun AI because it is not their fault AI exists, comparing it to "personal carbon footprints" (rhetoric created by oil companies to shift blame into individuals).

Look I'm not blaming anyone for the crimes of OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft, Google, nvidia. But I am blaming them, and I expect you to do the same! It is not about your personal contribution to global warming or your personal plagiarism, it is about you siding with and contracting (even for free) these evil companies.

You can't outsource part of your work to "child labor as a service llc" and then say you are not at fault because the slaves aren't yours and it is not your fault

In the interests of remaining off of instagram (and still getting work hopefully) I’ve made an ad for myself. I know this is the wrong audience because like half of y’all are audio engineers too but I had fun making this so here it is

I stopped trying to debate software devs on LLMs a while back. Even if they could be budged on empirical grounds, they are explicitly fine with using tools that are themselves deeply unethical

Debating people who look past "chatbot psychosis", the dismantling of the education system, the gendered abuse, the generated CSAM images, the overt attacks on the media industries, or the ultra-right's glee about "AI", by showing them a well-constructed academic study is never going to work 1/n
