i am 100% dependent on donations to make ends meet currently. i live in my van and have few expenses (fuel+insurance on the van, phone bill, cloud bills, and food basically) but having all that accounted for lets me focus on my work, ie polycrisis and my open source dev+research

in a couple weeks i'm gonna be leaving Santa Fe for the west coast to see some people and switch it up for a while, so i'm gonna dump a bunch of money into fuel. would love to be able to offset that preemptively

you can donate (or hire me for contract work~~) at https://lightcrystal.systems/support or please boost for reach #mutualAid #transMutualAid

#drawtober 01

The more local of my two girlfriends, Audrey, drinking tea and writing fanfiction~

A black and white drawing of an asian woman sitting at a tea table; to her right is a pot and cup of tea, steam rising. In front and slightly to her left is a laptop. She sits on her knees with her fists excitedly up by her shoulders, excited. She wears a baby tee that reads Garçon and short shorts, has straight black hair that falls in a sharp part that frames her round face, and asymmetrical eyeliner with a line at the edge of one eye and a dot under the other

drawing with light bondage themes and suggestive text in the post

It's another Flat Fuck Friday, but a more real drawing this time!

This is Cali, a pseudo-robotgirl. There's a brief description and some extra text on my website: https://hamsternet.neocities.org/gallery/20260909_flatcali/

I don't think mastodon compression will cause problems for the "pixel" effect...

a drawing of robotgirl oc Cali, who has a petite body, short and straight blue hair with attachments on the sides of her head coming from which are things best described as hard light twin tails, and she is wearing something resembling a one piece swimsuit with cyber attachments, plus detached sleeves and thigh highs, Cali is upset and apparently has her arms bound behind her back with blue ribbon-type things that have 'BIND.EXE' written on them, and a large Windows-style mouse cursor is poking underneath parts of her outfit at her chest, with Cali saying 'Pervert. I called a drone strike on your location.'

constant rain while youre sick and live in a small vehicle is pretty immiserating.

it's crazy how much of western esotericism comes down to cis dudes being either volcels or gooners but that's because everything is about desire

re: ph question

re: ph question

@Venefilyn no meat, sugar,or alcohol

also, to my great disdain, if i have too much cheese amd green chile in the same meal (like, take it easy on pizza) that will also trigger it

and finally, low quality or synthetic ingredients that may be contaminated with heavy metals or other weird stuff are another nono

i’m wearing an ankle-length blue jean skirt that makes it slightly hard to walk

so i’ve decided to just bunny hop around the house

it’s fucking fun!

THIS is the levity, the childlike whimsey, that conservative politicians fear so gravely

lil bunny girl hopping around her home is a threat to the structural power of capital

If a 15 year old on the other side of the world builds a botnet and defaces the wrong website US and Western polices forces will move heaven and earth to extradite a child.

But if a 40 year old white guy builds a multi-Billion dollar botnet powered IP theft ring and threatens us all with "world annihilation" we're expected to INVEST in to him.

Two systems be two systemsing.

RE https://troet.cafe/@vegancoder/117341187241199830

its not like people like me are ignoring this aspect (capitalism as designed, it isnt rocket science), its that we see that a better way of life is possible and that there is value in investing in it now, not just waiting for the rest of yall to come around...

@gosha @vegancoder i also really enjoyed this talk and i think the "spreadsheets are turing complete" is NOT saying the tools dont matter, its saying the perception of the tools are subject to systemic bias

i particularly enjoyed the comparison of LLMs to chess engines. like, yeah, chess is a battle of wit between humans, and we have a reasonable social argument for not using chess engines in competition even though they are fit for purpose. wrt LLMs, the flow you described is just replacing one of the humans in pair programming with a bot, and yes it is arguably fit for purpose but there are many reasons we should prefer actual pair (or larger group) programming to it.

Real talk folks, is it ADHD when you are organizing your room, find a decrepit Nook that you previously hacked in the past to run #uxn Oquonie and decide impromptu to make some paspartú and frame it?

An old ebook reader, the rubber all gone to hell and without any functional buttons. A picture frame with the ebook in a happy new housing
