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

found out i was a girl: 2022-12-22
(former was causal to the later)
i donāt use ai in my writing because it capitalizes words, and also because writing is the fun part for me (you do you!)

i went to the doctor today and told her i got bit by a wolf
she asked "where?" and i said "no, regular"
āif you want an account on my media server let me know - i got gigabit and, like me, itās biā
privacy tip: always remove the āsiā 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
Itās most common in YT and Spotify, with spotify being imo most dangerous
āhey son whatās a nightcore? youtube thinks iām interested in that and some Yuri guy. spotify wants me to be friends with someone that thinks sheās 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)
anyone else remember the format war between LGBTQIA+RW and LGBTQIA-RW
new pet peeve just dropped: mixing āSHALLā/āSHALL NOTā and āMUSTā/āMUST NOTā in the same RFC
My correct opinion is that āMUSTā is better because it is more visually distinct from āSHOULDā/āSHOULD NOTā
Defining and allowing synonyms is a flaw in RFC 2119.
sorry to brag, but i'm very strong (passwords only)
oh my god people keep telling me what they named their ai chatbox and i hate it more than hearing people complain about ai
the first hard drive i bought in my life was 1GB and it cost a thousand dollars lol
i think these videos are important
a guide to flaming out - if you are exhausted this is worth a watch
lady eboshi is wrong - it is not about trans existence but it also is (youtube removed it so itās only on nebula now)
as a second generation immigrant i too was made in the USA with globally sourced materials
