Elfi, known bug enjoyer @elfi@pixie.town

Anyone got experience of screen readers on fedi? I can't really see since to eye surgery I want to keep up with you all and have some mental stimulation.

Edit: Eye surgery went okay. Thank you to the people who commented and shared.

So after 16 months of illness I'm back on my feet and applying to jobs, but I'm completely broke and the combination of car+power+storage for 6 people is due, with a lot of late fees added in.
I'm sorry to ask, but any amount would help. Thanks so much!

This seems to be the most comprehensive listing and discussion of pharmacological treatments for Long Covid and associated conditions. Just released by Patient Led Research Collaborative https://www.rthm.com/resources/blogs/long-covid-treatment-guide

Wren fully fuzzed in her sleep. It's hard to tell in this picture, but she had a highly defined back ridge, all the more noticeable because she was otherwise fast asleep.

Joh cuddled her awake and she was *delighted*. I don't think she'd been having pleasant dreams!

Four! Four beautiful moth orchid (𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘱𝘴𝘪𝘴 sp.) blossoms, ah ah ah... 🧛‍♀️

So, I recently saw some quiet discussion about a paper where researchers reverse-engineered and disclosed some attacks against PhotoDNA, the very-super-duper-secret algorithm used by tech megacorps to scan for illegal images.

They didn't make any code public, and so... I did: https://github.com/ArcaneNibble/open-alleged-photodna

A _complete_ reverse-engineering and commented Python reimplementation of the algorithm from publicly-leaked binaries.

This means that studying the algorithm and any potential flaws is now much more accessible.

This took only about two days (once I knew that there even _was_ a leaked binary to compare against), which just goes to again show that security through obscurity never works.

do NOT let your moths browse the internet unsupervised

he nearlly order lamps for 1.5k€ from ikea

oops i forgot to make this public oops

remember to spoil your local transgender women

One of the ppl in my sphere who helps keep me together when I'm falling apart is in need of a lil lifting up herself right now.

If anyone is up for a random act of kindness, I would deeply appreciate giving her kofi a lil bump. https://ko-fi.com/frostpoem

She also does wonderfully insightful tarot readings. Hit her up if you need a lil grounding in these uncertain (understatement!) times.
@FrostPoem

Boosts appreciated.

Thank you, beautiful humans. ✨

Rollator has been funded! Thank you so much to the people that donated. We also need food and stuff like handsoap and detergent. I have mutual aid and gift cards for instacart on my wishlist as well, and pay links in the reply to this.

I'm trying to take care of a household of 6 people, only two of who can work right now, and with my longterm illness (I was bedridden for 16 months) I'm not able to cover all my bills this month, as a bunch of unexpected costs hit right in a row.
(my rent was covered with last week's post, thanks so much! I've still got storage, car, and electric to cover)

If you've can donate any amount at all, it'd really help. Thanks so much.

I'm sorry but I have to confess.

I see all Fedi users as their profile pictures.

If you're a furry and have furry art as a profile pic, or have a picture of your RL self, that will make sense to you.

But if you have a flower as your PFP, sorry, you're a talking flower now. Your pfp is your pet? You are a dog/cat/hamster. If your PFP is weird and abstract, you are a weird abstract critter.

If your pfp is the default white elephant for Mastodon, you are grouped in my brain with everyone else that uses it. Also, you are a talking elephant.

I hope you'll forgive me, somehow.

Also if your pfp is cute I definitely want to pet you. Sorryyyyy

Hey so this is flying all over Fedi! Check out my profile and give me a follow if you like! I'm full of silliness and hugs :3
