Later this year I have 3 to 4 surgeries scheduled (2 are IVC Filter install/removal). Recovery up to 3 months.

To help cover costs, I’ve launched a fundraiser tied to a fully remastered edition of my book Fall (basically a new book!)

If you can’t donate, sharing helps.

Gotta love how my therapist basically said he didn't know of any study, but it does make sense, and probably true, that people's past (abuse/trama/etc) does influence people's reactions in games, as they identify the game characters with life, and act accordingly.

More of how they say "anteefa" like it's a single word, not abbreviation.

IF they said it more like "anti-fa", it'd sound more like "anti" so at least USA people might think it's "against".

More of a linguistic correctness over dumb people getting it without explanation pronunciation.

I kinda wish they used a “not German sounding version” American like variant of antifa pronounciation (anti-fa)

I really think a lot think the word is a scary word to some, and it’d be easier to say “anti-fa, fa is fascist”.

I know some who think it’s a foreign govt type trying to take over.

Don’t know what’s worse. MAGA saying the foreign military base in USA is too much, or that pedophilia isn’t.

Saw a report on trump not getting the nobel, and said a spokesman said "he has the heart of a humanitarian!"

Where? In a jar decorated with gold?

Is it bad my first thought was more of "at least he found a non white person he didn't want to think if they were qualified"

Diane Leigh @dianeleigh.net · 2d

So basically if you are with others from your company or even friends group. Everyone has access to all others rooms

I'm picturing threatening them from now until next time, it consuming the news, and him showing signs of complete mental decline where they rush him from stage and he's out of sight for up to a week

Diane Leigh @dianeleigh.net · 2d

Well now he's going to threaten and annoy them from now until the next one demanding it or else

How long before maga claims the increase in insurance price isn’t because they cut anything, rather because thy kicked off so many illegals, that insurance companies have to charge more as millions fewer customers.

[20251001-1345] banned ip for iis, ip: 000.000.000.000

And set program notices that are all identical

Diane Leigh @dianeleigh.net · 3d

Program log file (I wrote the program) so most entries are virtually identical. Take out he datetime and distinct it, probably only a few thousand lines. Break those into words, and like all but 1 word is different

Main reason is I view games as an extension of life, sort of like a trial run of actual real life situations. Almost a "what if" scenario for life.

In a game, you can explore morality. In life, there's consequences. Sometimes in games too, but it's limited to the game only.

Diane Leigh @dianeleigh.net · 3d

I really wonder if people would consider them different if those characters were men, instead of women. Like as a percentage thing. Like would the impressions of their actions flip if the gender was.

Diane Leigh @dianeleigh.net · 3d

It's like manipulating others, winding back decisions, using powers to get ahead is totally good and wholesome if you're the one doing it--evil if others do. Hell, V acts like judge, jury and executioner depending (granted with the father son team with the vids, eh not counting that)

Diane Leigh @dianeleigh.net · 3d

Now I'm trying to think of other games that are similar to this kind of format.

From Life is Strange series: rachel, chloe, safi... but the leads in the true colors, and max... are so much worse, even with "V" in cyberpunk (depending, but the player controls them in all)

Diane Leigh @dianeleigh.net · 3d

I kind of view him as dead on the inside since... probably birth. He acts like he's never been loved and doesn't grasp it.

All his "love" displays are like a mockery or an alien trying to mimic human behavior.

Guess the file type (as in what type of data it had in it)

Original file size: 835MB
Compressed size 10MB

Similar with me in a way. I have a stepson because of meeting someone*

* meaning we were content sharing a house, but in case the kid gets injured, something at school, etc--I might have more abilities than just "roomate"

Diane Leigh @dianeleigh.net · 3d

Thought... maybe because they were stacked, and to have evidence of what was taken they spread them out and took a photo. You know for investigation

I don't know wtf is wrong with edge on one user's computer. But it has items disabled for pdfs (for auto opening, and others as a test)

Gmail. Click attachment PDF.
Edge downloads it to downloads, then auto-opens in adobe.
Click file in downloads, opens in edge.

Default pdf viewer is chrome.

So... they apparently posted this 4 DAYS ago

Seems like they are trying to say something.

Even though I just use the + to add posts to a thread, I sometimes use the 🧵as well just to make sure people realize that one single post isn't the full thing (it's got multiple posts linked for the full picture)

Diane Leigh @dianeleigh.net · 3d

🧵The old one didn't monitor the tasks, so just adding that, then altering the comparison code for "is this known and ok" or "holy hell we're screwed, isolate machine ASAP" didn't allow for paths like "\\?\c:\" or even "\windows\" or things like that.
