ph (+), food 

I am holding down solid food for the first time since I got sick. I feel so bloated now though. I wonder if I'll be able to handle another meal before I head out. My meds are keeping the symptoms away except for the weariness and uncontrollable sneezing so far though.

stupid "ask people's opinion" homework if you're bored

1. Communication, shared understanding of commitments, and repeated communication of shared understanding of commitments (whether as reassurance or renegotiation).
2. Uncritical cis men are the only ones who believe is such nonsense to begin with, it is 2025. Grow up, men and women are not remotely as different as you might want to imagine to boost your fragile ego or worldview.

You wanna medicalize this shit motherfucker? Okay! I diagnose you with gender object permanence disorder the way you keep misgendering me. *Throws an assortment of pills at you from my pockets like Dr. Mario*

Amazes me how unfriendly the UX of academic publishing is. I have to click log in with my institution, search the name of my institution, log in with university SSO, do 2-factor auth, wait for page to reload to see if that gives me access, click download PDF, often that takes me to a web viewer where I again have to click download PDF. Or see if VPN gives me access, which has its own convoluted login process.

Meanwhile Sci-hub is just: 1. input DOI 2. get PDF

More fediverse servers should advertise not logging your IP address.

@dantheclamman it is amazing how much the function from DOI to PDF gets obfuscated by multiple layers of academic publishing.

Catgirls, puppygirls, make some fucking room. The elephant shrew girls have arrived.

okay. Probably just the flu, tested negative. And honestly the fever with this flu isn't even all that bad. I have had far worse flus. I am very lucky it has receded enough that I can do work.

Doing my first covid home test. Yay :)

Mutual aid/begpost, :boost_ok: RESOLVED, THANK YOU SO MUCH 

hello, i'm embarrassed to be doing this again after someone sent me so so much money to move, but here i am.

the move is done, but it cost significantly more than i thought it would, and i'm yet again staring bills in the face (as well as possibly rent if the housing authority does not transfer my voucher in time).

Update- resolved !! Hopefully camming picks up here soon. I just need a few decent nights out of every week.

if they want you to appoint a representative, a liasion, a negotiator - don't do it!!! they wouldn't be asking if it wasn't advantageous for them to try and manipulate one, instead of a crowd. be un-mediatable!

For the non-programmers: hash tables are one of those things you learn about in your first year as a CS student, and very likely in your first CS class. Not something you expect to read about conjecture-breaking, complexity-bounds-changing new implementations of.

This is my most viral-going post here in I don't even know how long. Fediverse gonna Fediverse, I suppose.

I'm gonna do the traditional-among-the-queers thing and link to a partner's basic living expenses #MutualAid GFM: gofundme.com/f/help-ren-get-ba

(If this is getting an audience that isn't familiar with this tradition: it's because to many of us are broke, on the outs with our families, and unable to find sufficient employment, and it's more than those few of us with tech jobs can make up for.)

Anyone in the Northampton, Massachusetts area need a place at beginning of September? Total rent is 2440 to be split along with utilities. 3 bed 1 bath with furnished living room and kitchen. Got 2 bedrooms free, right by main street, first floor, Trans household. DM me, need to sign lease asap. I’m a trans femme with a long term job and want to stay here long as possible. If can get at least one roommate then we split the bill down the middle I can afford that. A third makes it even easier.

re: linux hell 

@clarfonthey in theory four CPU sockets at least are supported. In practice good luck finding a motherboard with two.
