imho, the machinery of myth-making is actually very easy to understand in this industry and it's not about burnout lol

tonight on "shit you cant make up": 2 trans girls getting mansplained to by a fucking clueless 20 year old about how HRT is just enforcing the gender binary and trans people should basically just suck it up and not medically transition

i think im gonna table indie software dev for a while and focus on djing and illustration in my free time. part of it is that my computers and the software i use "just work" at this point and when im using my laptop for art i get the most joy out of it; the other part is that ideally id like to pivot out of this hellish profession before im forced to for not drinking the koolaid...

when i look in the mirror

i hate how normalized it is to put pesticides/herbicides on public lawns :<

ddg's anomaly detection is really starting to piss me off

my 2 year hrt-iversiry is coming up and has me thinking. before, i was always so lanky (regardless of how much i ate, i could not put on fat if i tried) and felt so disconnected from my body and my emotions, to the point i did keto for 5 years just to feel some form of fucked up control and connection to my body and was constantly suppressing my emotions through cannabis and alcohol. now i feel at home in my skin, with soft flesh in all the right spots and a nice rack, and my emotional connection to myself and others is salient to the point i found it easy to quit drinking and no longer smoke weed with any regularity. when i started this journey i had no idea that i would be so happy with all these changes - i orginally thought i just wanted hair reduction and the other effects were "if that happens i guess its ok". but you cant fake it. the truth will set you free

There is a counter-campaign to call the payment processors and demand they reverse the censorship, see here for who to call and write https://bsky.app/profile/meltingcomet.com/post/3luqlzgxkz222

A lot of these payment processors are headquartered in California. If you're a vendor that's been discriminated against (for example, if you're an LGBTQ artist whose content has been censored) you can file a civil rights complaint at https://calcivilrights.ca.gov/complaintprocess/

New California state law may also be needed to require large payment processors to accept payments for any legal business, similar to how a utility or railroad have to serve everyone. Talk to your state legislators. 4/

security nightmare at work almost over, new mix ready for final mix and release, this has been one hell of a week

yes you will be very happy you let the waf handle it, trust

are you using the new command? it's in unetconfd. it's literally on sysptkm. it's configurable via xchwnt. it's literally under /usr/share/pnetdx2. you can probably grep for the qvjconf. you can update it via bungpkg. update via bungpkg. fetch it with bungpkg. you can bungpkg it. bungpkg has it for you. bungpkg has it for you.

1. schedule time to video call with the ex wife and (more importantly) the kiddo
2. time rolls around
3. ex is offline/unresponsive
4. rinse and repeat

So.. This is what has been happening recently:

• Climate breakdown tripled death toll in Europe’s June heatwave, study finds

• Accelerated glacial melt and monsoon rains trigger deadly floods in Pakistan

• French warned of high-risk summer for wildfires as Marseille blaze contained

-Texas flooding death toll climbs to 119 as search for more people continues

• Thousands meet their MPs to show huge demand for climate action

... and this is what politicians are talking about when they meet 🤦

This is what the NY Times chose to highlight from the Netanyahu/Trump meeting, compared to Al Jazeera.

You decide which is the important news.

I love how smart these AI technologies are. They understand that "bigger" for cities can be ambiguous, refer to either the population or the area. It's also great that it's showing the sources in the upper corner, and displaying the basic facts.

Small minus on consistency and correctness, but other than that, really a great answer.

and yes, nested GLX also works under wayback:

it's been a couple weeks of wayback now, and we've made a lot of progress... probably because we sit around talking about fixing bugs rather than whether the parents of transgender children should face stochastic terrorism

I THINK THE SOIL IS WHAT QUANTUM "COMPUTING" PRETENDS TO BE!

EXTREME PARALLEL INFORMATION PROCESSING!

THE SOIL IS A COMPLEX COMMUNICATION NETWORK WHICH EXISTS IN AN INFORMATION SPACE THAT COMPARES FAVORABLY WITH HILBERT SPACE!

THE SOIL IS ALIVE AND AWAKE AND WE ARE CONNECTED TO IT!

SETI IS POINTED THE WRONG WAY!

Farmworkers in California are organizing a strike, Huelga para la Dignidad, Strike for Dignity.

Their demands include immediate citizenship and protections for farmworkers across the country, and an end to the raids, abductions, and deportations.

Their calls to action to us include not buying produce during the strike and spreading the word.

Fund to support the workers and their families: bit.ly/farmer-fund

Petition: bit.ly/lulac-legalize

Press release: bit.ly/huelga-dignidad

Laura Loomer is an advisor to Trump, and she's quite clear that what's going on is not "deporting criminal aliens" but the ethnic cleansing of all 65 million Latinos in the US. In fact she's pretty clear she wants this to be the genocide of the US Latino population.

I'm not sure many people recognize we're already a few lines into the "first they came for the..." poem. But we are.

dead, but soon revived
within these walls even death can die

Don't judge the tech bros on how cringeworthy or clumsy they are. Judge them on their intent

Our reactions to things like this are "hey everyone, this is really dumb. Lol"

It feels good to speak on the ugliness and stupidity and get affirmation others also see how fucked up it is

But there is no protection in that, it's a momentary salve, it doesn't make it go away

Begin to think about how we fight what is coming

Stop laughing. Start fighting

Finally, some good political news! The gender-affirming care ban has been struck from the budget bill by the Senate parliamentarian.

Since R's now need 60 votes to make that provision happen, it's probably dead in the water.
