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!

welp
texted my sister in law “i sent you some pens for your birthday too” and autocorrect changed it to penis
it’s over
interacting with Notion has radicalized me against AI much in the same way interacting with people has radicalized me against men
so confident im unlikeable and repulsive to all people when really its just most people
i decided my next career will be a ghostbuster, i will capture and torment-nexus people who ghost me
i used notion and it made me so frustrated the whole time, it was like i was gooning exasperation
Seattle implies the existence of A-attle and B-attle
hey fedi!
would you be interested in a service a-la Datadog's application log collection, metrics collection, and performance monitoring, but with pricing targeted more toward mere mortals, run by a small two-person company that actually cares about you? if so, feel free to DM me! i'm planning on starting with just log collection, adding metrics and APM later. we're looking at having two different pricing structures, in a setup similar to PurelyMail:
- simple pricing, where you pay one fee that's always the same. although it might be more expensive, it gives you a bill that is always the same (and thus easily predictable), and unless you use drastically over the limit, you wouldn't be forced to switch to advanced pricing (this is the same thing PM does, FWIW)
- advanced pricing, where you pay based on exactly your usage
regardless, we are willing to work with you to figure out how we can make this accessible to you.
we have the server space already, we might as well use it to help you! regardless of the pricing agreed upon, you have our commitment to help you with any setup you'd need to get it working and get your infrastructure monitored.
if this sounds like something you'd like, feel free to DM me here, or email contact [@] fractal microsystems dot org!
Hey! Did you know that the trans voice training app we were hired for as the UX/UI lead is out now and you can use it on your phone or in the browser?
https://transvoice.app/
If we get enough interest it'll be easier to secure more funding for the project and we can keep working on it. Otherwise our work contract may run out at the end of the month, which would suck
edit: thanks everyone for boosting 
maybe AI hate will lead to creating non-AI tools that make software, graphic design, and publishing easy and accessible for folks to do themselves
Bring back HyperCard and WordArt and Print Shop Deluxe. I still got Comic Sans installed so i’m ready
