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!

maybe AI hate will lead to creating non-AI tools that make software, graphic design, and publishing easy and accessible for folks to do themselves

i’m gonna be at volunteer park (seattle) later today for the trans pride thingie if anyone is around and wants to say hi!! i’ll be the shy intimidated looking girl in a black skirt hoping someone comes up and asks her to be friends :baba_gay:

a well-identified cognitive hazard of venturing into cishet replys/comment sections is, of course, the guy1 replying "I asked ChatGPT and here is what it said:"

but I have found there is a worse kind of man1 reply: "Here is a prompt I wrote you, you could ask ChatGPT:"

what the hell people


  1. it is always a guy and/or man ↩︎ ↩︎

upgraded to the v0.22 RC of @gotosocial and pruned out some old statuses from the db:

timestamp="16/06/2026 10:22:00.539" func=cleaner.(*Status).LogPruneOldRemote level=INFO msg="start older than: May 19 2026 10:22:00"
timestamp="17/06/2026 01:41:59.998" func=cleaner.(*Status).LogPruneOldRemote level=INFO msg="pruned: 3015023"

Database size went from 7.4 GiB => 1.6 GiB
Number of statuses in DB went from 3,316,242 => 310,561

search seems a lot more responsive
