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!

a probably incomplete list of ā€œminorā€ gender affirming actions I have taken, spread out over many years. May be overwhelming for those early in transition - repost

privacy tip: always remove the ā€œsiā€ 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

ā€œhey 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 woodsā€ (his daughter becomes a wood witch, so happy ending at least)

new pet peeve just dropped: mixing ā€œSHALLā€/ā€œSHALL NOTā€ and ā€œMUSTā€/ā€œMUST NOTā€ in the same RFC

My correct opinion is that ā€œMUSTā€ is better because it is more visually distinct from ā€œSHOULDā€/ā€œSHOULD NOTā€

Defining and allowing synonyms is a flaw in RFC 2119.
