Hi everyone, just letting you know I have a gamedev-centric alt on @lampfairy <3 Hoping to use that environment to help me focus on development stuff, so I'll post my progress and boost useful development insight there. Give me a follow if you're interested! <3
My streamer friend Jojo made a chibi of me! It came out really cute c:
If you wanna see them draw or game, they're on https://twitch.tv/jojo123die
Hey everyone, want to borrow ebooks from archive.org on YOUR terms?
Here's a method I came up with using Calibre, on all platforms where it's supported.
1. Install the DeACSM and DeDRM plugins into Calibre
2. In the plugin preferences, configure DeACSM and set up anonymous authorization, then export the encryption key and import it into DeDRM's ADE keys
3. Restart Calibre! This is important!
4. On archive.org, find the book you want to borrow and loan it out
5a. If you can borrow it for two weeks, do that and download it in the format you prefer
5b. If you can only borrow it for an hour or it doesn't give you a download, borrow it anyway, then copy the identifier in the metadata, add it to the following URL: https://archive.org/services/loans/loan/?action=media_url&identifier=<IDENTIFIER GOES HERE>&format=pdf&redirect=1 and download that (you can also change the format to epub or similar but it may not always be available)
6. Add the ACSM file to Calibre and it'll download it and then decrypt it for you
7. Be sure to return the book so other people can use it right away!
Happy reading!
So one thing about the dreams I had last night was that the one I posted wasn't the only one I had, but the one before it was highly contextual, essentially putting the party of a campaign I'm in into a Void Stranger-esque bad end, and I woke up with the song Blossom Chime stuck in my head
...and my GM half-joked about endgame spoilers, oh no
Apropos of Amazon.com soon removing the download to USB function for #Kindle purchases, here's a reminder that sellers can restrict the uses of digital media and users of other proprietary booksellers like #Kobo should also consider downloading their books and removing #DRM restrictions. I've put together a guide for how to do this with Kobo purchases on an #ArchLinux environment, and it may be helpful for other setups as well. https://ljwrites.blog/posts/kobo-drm-removal/
* Edited to reflect a fact-check on what function Amazon.com is actually removing. See @rowyn's helpful comment and ensuing thread for more! https://mastodon.art/@rowyn/114013913813834865
Dreams
I dreamt the world of Little Tail Bronx, specifically Tail Concerto, joined the interstellar stage
Waffle Ryebread quit his job as a cop to join a group of mech pilots hunting down warlords. After one fierce fight against Andross, he returned home to Prairie (after a brief miswarp got him chased out of orbit of a moon occupied by Brevon) to meet up with Alicia
Alicia herself in turn became a defence lawyer who exclusively served racial minorities and used her reputation as a former pirate leader to scare the Prairian prosecutor's office into dropping cases with her presence alone. Lots of black humans in particular walking free thanks to that cat
The mushroom lamps give me so much pleasure because I love not only their shape but also the colored light they give off in the dark. Even a single one brings so much atmosphere and mood into the room, it's so beautiful! I'm lucky enough to have a whole collection of them. But it's also my bad luck, because the mushrooms need to find new owners. Guys, please “redeem” me from my horrible fate ;3

@foone HRT just never stops working has been a mantra I'll tell anyone who listens.
Some things happen in the first month or two. some slower, some even slower again.
Every weight gain and loss and new bit of hair or bone or skin or tendon is pulled down and rebuilt or heals under the influence of HRT.
It ain't necessarily everything you'd want, but it's also way more than the usual advice would say!
Kamikaze Girls: An alternative and queer retrospective
This 2004 biker-girl-meets-lolita cult film is back in print thanks to Discotek, which makes it a great time to look back on what a great (and sapphic) coming-of-age tale it is.

Bessie Coleman (1892-1926)
-first licensed Black woman pilot.
Denied access to flight training in the USA, Bessie Coleman learned French and went to France for flight training.
When astronaut Mae Jemison made history as the first black woman in space, she was carrying a photograph of Bessie Coleman with her.
