it's that time again, pls help me test a concurrency bug by boosting this status :')

if anyone ever tells you "you can't just run away from people you don't like" then they are fucking lying to you

that's some toxic shit toxic people will use to abuse you to give them your presence

your presence is a gift only you alone get do decide to whom you bestow

if anyone's wholesale dismissing your decisions to get out of an uncomfortable/unsafe situation then they do not care about you and only want your attention

TIL about "auticon" which apparently is the company that employs autistic people in IT at significantly below-market salaries in order to then sell their services as extraordinary IT consultants with unique cognitive strengths 🤮
Like, if your employees are so unique, they should be paid above market, not below.
And they market themselves as "helping", sounds more like exploiting the fact that some of these people have nowhere else to go.

just a reminder after seeing some folks' reaction to the newest bit of fashjacketing or whatever that's been going around

lots of smug tankie takes and very online hostility that its userbase passes off as leftist action or something and it's never gotten any better over the years

defederating from them is guaranteed to reduce your tl's rancid vibes and increase the average quality of visible discussions

#fediblock

talking to us tech journalists is great cause you'll pitch them a story and theyre really into it but then they disappear for half a week, just to return and be like "sorry i was a bit busy i ended up in two shootings"

the only thin colored line I support is negative selftests

If you post AI art, please think about using a CW for them. There are a lot of people wo may want to filter them. For myself they are exhausting and most of the time a little bit creepy. #mastoart #aiart

yo holy shit Dead Cells added a ton of accessibility and assist features
- UI tweaks / graphics tweaks
- color filters
- you can give yourself extra lives
- you can adjust trap damage and turn on an auto-attack to reduce how many inputs are necessary to play
- a TON of control tweaks

AND they said they won't disable achievements if you turn any of the assist features on: "We are not going to make it possible for people to play the game and then take achievements away from them."

fuck YES. this RULES.

perhaps too much cargo in the bakfiets

Cursed package

i like knowing about laws that let me fuck over authority figures and corporations

it's also just useful to be informed about laws surrounding the space you're doing activism in, for your own safety and that of others

I've discovered that you can in fact de-acclimatize yourself to advertising, largely from removing exposure fairly consistently over a long period of time.

The problem with that is the intense sense of alienation and distaste you get when exposed (for whatever reason) again.

Curating your own sensory inputs at the cost of being naturalized to the consensus human experience. Yikes.
