lord the only thing I ask of you is for someone to discover and report that the bsod crowdstrike update was developed using copilot or otherwise had some jank-ass AI integration, that shit would be the funniest thing in the world

Actually, it could've been as late as Windows 2000. All I remember about it is the old-school taskbar icon

Motivation is low today. It is also rather hot. Coronation? Idk.

Maybe I just want to desperately date a cute robot gal or something. What u mean that's oddly specific!?
I just want to snuggle and bitch about hardware, software, gamedev & art.

Crowd Strike thing is basically an "Ever Given stuck in Suez Canal" of IT industry.

All the techies losing hair, sleep, and family time trying to get this un-stuck are the excavator operators trying to get things un-fucked.

New post on keeping house with small, unambitious habits! ljwrites.blog/posts/small-clea

"Unfortunately that was how I was brought up, with my mom telling me I should do the whole house when I cleaned because otherwise the dirt would spread from the uncleaned rooms to the clean one. So I ended up not cleaning on days I couldn’t do the whole house, which was most days… all days… yeah."

on the plus side, the Little Tail wiki is feasting tonight

Me: I need to look up something in Red Data Children for Stellarobo... ah, there's something in here that I could use better context for, where are the raws?

Me four hours later: I have tracked down sources for every single light novel--with page numbers--for Solatorobo except for Red Data Children! Aaaaargh

Last night I went on a mad bender and wrote an outline for the sequel to that Solatorobo/Freedom Planet crossover fic I'm working on. Dance, puppets, dance! Mwahahahahaha :devilish:

Just seen the best bit of commentary on transmisogyny I’ve seen in ages: if you want to know how a man treats cis women in private, look at how he treats trans women in public.

If you want access to free books, please get a library card.

In the US, the more people there are with library cards, the more funding libraries have access to.

Libraries provide more than books. They are a community resource.

As an author and reader, I support libraries!

as more and more shitheads are emboldened and the facade of civility erodes, it's crucial to remember:

-create space for weirdness. embody weirdness. you will make other people who do not adhere to the norm comfortable
-know that what disgusts is not inherently harmful
-recognize real harm and its root causes, and not resort to petty infighting in the meantime
-move towards a theoretical Future, do not sacrifice it for a practical Now
-recognize that creating a world worth living in is more valuable than making more people to live in it
-not everything is for you. this is not a problem. it is actually beautiful
