Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

Look it’s /possible/ there’s some technical reason why your site launch flopped; one that could save your marketing team from the axe. What’s the URL, I’ll have a look.
An “A” record. How quaint. Where’s your quad?
No, Eye Pee Vee Four may have been good enough for Jesus but it is NOT good enough in the year of our lady twenty twenty nine. The only countries that still use vee four are Liberia, Myanmar and the United States of America. Both of them. In the entire rest of the world, including South of the Concord Wall in Greater Mexico, it’s vee six or go home.

Really enjoying reading this 1993 thesis about how the theories of Linnaeus, Newton and Lavoisier met with very different concepts of matter stemming from Buddhism, Confucianism and Japanese medicine, via the unlikely bridge of Dutch chemistry textbooks that entered Japan via the trading post at Deshima.
Jesus, I have written a *lot* of stuff over the years. Porting all this stuff over to my Bookstack is going to take forever...

"LLMs are helpful with boring, repetitive work"
I can't help wondering if, in the long run, the better strategy is to address the repetition?

Oh btw you can actually download any file from Google Maps in full resolution (and with original file name 💀) easily
All you need to do is to click "Report a problem" in the dropdown menu next to image's author
File loaded on the page that will open is a raw uploaded JPEG with just the metadata stripped lol
dreams (2)
For those curious: yes, cohesive dreams are normal and common for me. But usually it's like being in an exciting movie, not an unscheduled disaster drill 😐

“the trans broadcast protocol”
i thought we called it activitypub but alright
dreams, unpleasant
Apparently my brain decided to do an unannounced simulation and review of "having a stroke" in my dreams, and concluded that my response time and procedure are insufficient for rescue.
Gee, thanks brain.
Just wrote and published a new thing: "Cleaning sticky soda spills in a mechanical keyboard without disassembly"

estradiol vial container (3D model, 3D printing)
Hello there.
May be of interest to some here:
https://www.printables.com/model/1103248-10ml-estrogen-vial-transport-potcontainer
I've decided to go ahead with it, turns out it was really easy to get running: https://wiki.slightly.tech/books/miscellaneous-notes/page/setting-up-bookstack
Their claim is that regular Synapse will also get performance improvements, just only the ones for small instances, which might have been a credible claim if it weren't for the fact that I *am* on a small instance and it performs like shit just because I'm in a lot of rooms, which incidentally has always been the metric for "big instance" with Matrix, so y'know
lmfao, Element now has a proprietary version of Synapse that gets performance improvements, guess we plebs get stuck with the slow one

Honestly one thing I enjoy about retrotech is that it's static. I never have windows 95 autoupdate on me and suddenly there's copilot or recall.
OH: "By that definition, every video game is either tetris or chess"

I hope that now and forever every CEO and corporate executive, corporate board member, and Wall Streeter lives in fear of the direct consequences of their actions which harm consumers, their employees, or the public at large.
It would be just and fair.
