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!

unpopular opinion: algorithms were never the problem. the corporations are.

lauding things for a lack of algorithms, rather than a lack of capitalism, is just an echo of corporate PR

if there was no ā€œalgorithmā€, everything would be equivalently shitty, in novel ways

i reply to every selfie i see on fedi, but some of these replies stay tucked away inside my head.

what happens is, i see your selfie, blurt out ā€œwhat the fuck, another cute one, how is everyone so cute, the odds are astronomical… let me get a calculatorā€

then I set out on a side quest mission to find my TI-85

I wonder what percentage of us have sincerely thought ā€œof course I’d love to be trans so I could be a woman but I’m not trans so welp Im a boyā€ and just stuck with that logical absurdity as a personal truth for waaaaaaayyyyy too long
