hey @Cryoclaire how do you like big cartel for your merch store? Currently considering it for tilde.industries/ products

today im planning to consume an unhealthy amount of caffeine, in hopes of my brain doing something

Meta 

It's almost like the person erryone keeps calling out for being racist is, in fact, racist, and by refusing to engage with this idea and instead saying that they lack a nuanced perspective or that they're simply not good at talking about race is enabling them!!

But nah, guess we've got to hash this out yet a-fucking-gain, because deep down most white people don't believe that racism is really "real".

shitty tech 

reading up on espnow documentation and of course it's ridled with master/slave terminology...

above room temperature takes, sexualised violence, speaking out as a victim 

So... idk how to start this because as an ex-birdsite poster it seems like no one has ever manages to address this without being shouted down, and I expect to get a lot of blocks out of this, but I need to talk about it anyway.

This is the synopsis of a longer essay I'm going to publish soon-ish so I'll try to keep it brief but I might go off on a tangent anyway because it's an emotional topic, so expect a short thread rather than a single post.

Let's get right to it:
We need to stop acting like cis women cannot be harrassers, abusers, and rapists.
Whenever anyone I know has tried to talk about their experiences with this, they've been told that they're just trying to derail The Conversation (which, since it's about sexualised violence, must be about cis men, or, owing to both transmisia and the prerogative of interpretation that lies with "traditional feminists", trans women), and trying to cover up rape.

If the previous boosts from this account don't make it clear enough, Computer Fairies is strictly a no-TERF zone. We welcome LGBTQIA+, queer, otherkin, furries, and other minorities alike. We don't welcome those who disagree with our existence. Radfems fuck off.

TERFs 

Feminism that isn’t inclusive of trans women is shit for all women. You can’t exclude trans women without also excluding some cis women too.

TERFs know this but they don’t care and will gladly sacrifice others to meet their hateful goals. Goddess help them though if there is ever any massive push for karyotyping because some of them are going to be unpleasantly surprised by their own results.

Stephanie Hofeller daughter of Thomas Hofeller, a prominent Republican redistricting strategist, made public all the contents of her deceased father's hard drives pertaining to gerrymandering and voting laws.

When asked if she was a democrat..

"'The reason I don't identify as a Democrat is because I'm an anarchist,' she says. 'I don't believe that we're going to really find solutions to the deeper problems of inequality in a system that demands a hierarchy, which is, by definition, unequal.'"

do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour Pasta Soup

There we go, moved to new instance, will move bobadon followers later uwu

hot take lowtech 

w/ their "chinese wheelbarrow best wheelbarrow" and claims that covering 80% of the earth's land surface with coppice would be sustainable, I'm gonna say that low tech magazine, or at least some of their writers, have lost their way and are drifting away from being pro-mandatory-sustainability to pro-anything-not-West-is-Best

The latter is usually true but that doesn't mean EVERYTHING anti-capital is better.

For example, we cannot cover most of the earth in short-life forests.

I wanted to generate some low-poly (triangle) patterns, thinking it wouldn't be too hard.
turns out it is kinda hard, so time to reserach Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay triangulation

Gosh, I love off-brand I²C. I can't believe it's I²C compatible!
It also has some interesting registers: Device ID (r/w), recommended value: 0x21.
I feel with you, brave chip. I had to change my government issued device id too once.

@rigatonimonster it's this famous study where they said to a kid, "you can have one marshmallow now, or two marshmallows later," and the kids who took the two marshmallows had higher SAT scores and better life outcomes. This is supposed to prove that being able to delay gratification is good, rather than proving that people whose life experience has given them reason to trust authority and go along to get along have an easier time succeeding

Royalston makes some pretty unique dnb, good sounds and very well-sung vocals
