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!

gonna say something controversial:
it’s bad to use your distaste towards generative AI as an excuse to be shitty to humans
maybe i’m a possum girl after all
a dude asked me what yuri is so i had to quickly think up an accessible explanation, using cultural references they would understand:
"it's like Titanic but Jack is the girl. and Rose is the girl too. and instead of a boat they go to the aquarium. someone still might drown though because both characters remain absolutely useless when problems arise."
i think it, i post it
my work-age index was 67 before i bounced

i’m working to invent a new compression algorithm so we can have a new file format for the first time since ladies learned to rename ZIP files

(it's more of a gay jog)
i went to the doctor today and told her i got bit by a wolf
she asked "where?" and i said "no, regular"
“if you want an account on my media server let me know - i got gigabit and, like me, it’s bi”
even if punintentional i'm still proud and love them
cishets being entirely normal
privacy tip: always remove the “si” 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
“hey 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 woods” (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 “SHALL”/“SHALL NOT” and “MUST”/“MUST NOT” in the same RFC
My correct opinion is that “MUST” is better because it is more visually distinct from “SHOULD”/“SHOULD NOT”
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
the US "keep thing out of reach of children" symbol has "use thing to taunt children" vibes
