Bio

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

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 latter)

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!

Sharing a YT account with my 8 year old daughter means I get a lot of recommended content about snakes and dolls, and she occasionally gets tricked into watching explanations of differently sized infinities or how dishwashers work.

If internalized, subconscious homophobia is why women have dated me in the past, my bullies were right all along: a girl would have to be crazy to date me.

(and of course they were right that i'm, like, super gay ~💕)

Some server admins have an even bigger god complex than the PHP bulletin boards of yesteryear, which I didn't even think possible.

My guess is, it's because their power is fairly impotent (ppl will just leave and get to keep all/most connections). Gotta double down and abuse the little power they have while they still have it. It's literally the exact same thing Musk is doing on Twitter, with the exact same "logic" behind it.

Reminds me of the hall monitors at my kid's elementary school, except children usually know they're being little shits.

Only grown-ups get this deluded by their biases.

Lost power but my backup power is keeping my fiber internet and network running. I knew it would be able to power my network but wasn't sure if I'd get an upstream connection... surprisingly I do.

So yeah I can't cook or nothing but I got wifi

menton of sex work which really shouldn't need a content warning i don't put a content warning on my engineering work toots you know?

I think I was just offered money for sex?

And by that I mean: a man offered to paypal me money for sex

I do not currently plan on becoming a sex worker but i DID wonder what the offer would have been

I love that the product managers of Google Photos just have never had any bad memories.

Or do other people enjoy auto-created slideshows of their mom's funeral set to a jaunty tune?

And much love to the throwbacks of all my failed relationships. THANKS I DON'T THINK ABOUT THOSE ENOUGH DO ONE ABOUT MY ASS NEXT

I typically can't scroll older than a few hours on my home feed. I've tried the web and different clients.

Anyone know what's up with that?

Is it a known limitation, bug, or something else? I've tried with boosts and replies disabled but no luck.

I just want to read the toots people tooted... is that so wrong

I originally just thought it was funny that all my ex girlfriends have now had a bi fling before they got married but I don't think I had very normal relationships and also all 5 married the next person they dated and I bet it even felt like going back to dating guys

I provided these women an important service at a critical time in their lives, and in an approachable and less sexually confusing way. I'm awesome, and selfless, and should have dated more.

One of the first things elbow said when he bought twunker was he'd increase the character count.

Why the fuck do people think it's an actually good idea? You do realize he's never had a single one so aren't you a little suspicious?!?

Limitations are the point; they encourage both a certain style of communication and creativity.

Shit why not get rid of text altogether and make everyone post videos that are 15 seconds or shorter and

🧠: Hmm, I think this JOIN is duplicating data...
