cool cool cool my phone now autocorrects an to ai

if i link someone to something i self host, i mention it gives me access to find out their ip address and they could use a vpn if they were concerned about privacy

anyway ive started to think this gives off “not involved in human trafficking tshirt” vibes because nobody has ever found me mentioning this remotely normal or reassuring

calling this bitch sir says more about your perception than her hot milf ass

i keep mashing the # key and nothing

so i have a meme folder on my iphone and for some reason the order got shuffled arbitrarily a few days ago?

it used to be old -> new in order of when I stole saved the meme but now a lot of the older memes are at the bottom (heh) and it's messed up my mental search model and i can't help but think that some of them have gone missing

here's one i couldn't find a couple days ago when i really needed it

anyway thanks for listening, like and subscribe and dont forget to smash the notification bell

some new decor for the home office

i feel emotionally blocked from registering any more domains, i might need to let some expire

it’s weird that youtube channels owned by private equity firms have patreons that still exploit the personal, parasocial relationship

excited to see this expand to mutual aid

reddit asks “how can i convince my wife to let me replace our Roku stick with a HTPC”

go back in time and marry a tgirl, to begin with she wouldn’t have let you buy the Roku and most models include a Thinkpad accessory and by the way you’re running Arch now

a different person said i was “upsettingly sweet, like american white bread” and i think there was an intentional racial implication there too

boy: “do you use a phone case?”

me, offended: “it’s like you’re not even paying attention to me, my case is clearly visible in my mirror selfies. are you not zooming in”

seriously considering getting the custom license plate “NO T”

feels subtle. at least to me, a girl with the subtlety of a hyperactive dog

"americans have to pay for healthcare" is an offensive simplification of our refined-through-capitalism health system

so, yes, I have to pay over $2,000 USD a month for health care

and i'm responsible for 100% of the first $3,400 of care I receive each calendar year

and then 10%-30% of everything after that

BUT once I've spent a bit over $50,000 USD on healthcare in a calendar year - the rest is free! 100% free!!

... as long as the for-profit company involved thinks the service is necessary. and that I deserve it. and the claim doesn't get processed incorrectly. and the doctor is in the small group of providers the company is partnered with. and (🧵 1/69)

i cropped this photo so it looks like the two trains are gay for each other

drove by the troat this morning on my way to cowork!

(it's what we call the floating train, "train"+"boat"="troat")

i told my therapist sometimes i work through problems myself without her help and i feel bad because it’s like pirating therapy, and now we meet twice a week

got curious about the @ONLYOFFICE drama and it’s pretty funny how awful of a company onlyoffice is!

the russian owner/founder of onlyoffice did a fake open source project to extract free labor from community contributions while profiting off that unpaid labor

onlyoffice is in no way truly open source. i wouldn’t even consider it open core. many parts of the source are obfuscated or intentionally broken so you have to use their paid versions. the code is restricted through (arguably and likely unenforceable) additions on top of AGPL such as “you have to use our trademarks in any derivative work”… which would give them authority to restrict any derivatives from existence since they control licensing of their trademarks.

which hey what a coincidence that’s what they are trying to do now!! a fork, Euro-Office, are attempting to create an actual open source office suite and branched onlyoffice maintaining the AGPL license (their github goes into why they felt a branch was necessary - basically the many problematic behaviors of the russian company behind onlyoffice)

onlyoffice’s response is basically crying about being branched. yknow, a fundamental part of open source.

sorry but it’s absurd to claim to be open source and also be a little bitch about someone branching your project because it hurts your feefees and makes it harder to profit off of unpaid labor.

btw it’s pretty obvious how shit the company is just by going to the onlyoffice website. allll the hallmarks of late stage capitalism: surveillance cookies, popup ads harvesting pii, a self-obsessed old white man owner, tons of dark patterns trying to convince you self-hosting requires paying them hundreds of dollars a year.

(the last might not be misleading though, they remove functionality from the community edition over time to force paid usage. for example: they removed the ability to edit documents from mobile devices arbitrarily and without notice… but you can pay to get that functionality back!!)

great to see the Euro-Office fork push back against fake open source capitalism bullshit like onlyoffice.

rating: a++++ would rabbit hole again

my daughter told me she loved her other mom more than me so I said “love doesn’t have a magnitude” but she hasn’t taken physics yet so she got confused

dude at my cowork having a long, loud video meeting while using the “quiet space: no calls in this area” sign as a coaster just got interrupted for an impromptu etiquette lesson given by a moody tgirl

kinda wished he whined about me interrupting his meeting being rude because i had “[your bitch ass] interrupted the rest of us first” loaded up and ready to fire

you can now get a new gmail username for your existing gmail account !!!

you keep all your data and your old username as an alias in the same account (ie, you are still contactable at your old email)

(since they announced this on tdov 🏳️‍⚧️ and this is something a lot of trans folks can benefit from, it would have been nice to give a hat tip to us but google is not a trans friendly corpo lol)
