Bio

i post for attention and affection (youngest child thing): memes, tech rambles, newly acquired domain names, and short irreverent nonsense i think is funny

seattle based. single parent. self-unemployed after 20 years in big tech

created 1st mastodon account: 2022-12-22
found out i was a girl: 2022-12-22
(former was causal to the later)

i don’t use ai in my writing because it capitalizes words, and also because writing is the fun part for me (you do you!)

ask me about my banger domain names!

it will never not be hilarious to me that i was wearing my “save ginny” shirt the first time i was clocked as trans (by an angry and very confused man, who then followed me home)

i think it’s dope my origin story has this fun bit that absolutely nobody believes

is VR gaming still a thing people think is fun and cool? i don’t really talk to that kind of nerd anymore since quitting my job (now it’s gender nerds all the way down)

anyway my ex-wife just got one of those facebook ones to play roblox , which makes me assume it’s now for boring olds

a dude asked me what yuri is so i had to quickly think up an accessible explanation, using cultural references they would understand:

"it's like Titanic but Jack is the girl. and Rose is the girl too. and instead of a boat they go to the aquarium. someone still might drown though because both characters remain absolutely useless when problems arise."

privacy tip: always remove the “si” part of links. this is used to track and connect you (person who shared the link) and whomever clicks it (cute catgirl)

eg, instead of: https://youtu.be/-Gq1P2aaDqM?si=surveillanceiscool

send: https://youtu.be/-Gq1P2aaDqM

account linking like this can be especially dangerous for trans folks. sharing a link effectively gives anyone who sees that link access to what account you are on that service. your account can also be recommended to their friends and family

It’s most common in YT and Spotify, with spotify being imo most dangerous

“hey son what’s a nightcore? youtube thinks i’m interested in that and some Yuri guy. spotify wants me to be friends with someone that thinks she’s a robot. never mind im going to cancel wifi and live in the woods” (his daughter becomes a wood witch, so happy ending at least)

new pet peeve just dropped: mixing “SHALL”/“SHALL NOT” and “MUST”/“MUST NOT” in the same RFC

My correct opinion is that “MUST” is better because it is more visually distinct from “SHOULD”/“SHOULD NOT”

Defining and allowing synonyms is a flaw in RFC 2119.
