Autocorrect tried to change my alt text to “bottoming.casa” and I am pretty sure the robots are coming for me specifically.

Oxyacetylene was played to absolute death in the late 90s where I was, hadn’t really thought of them since then but wow they’ve even got new material!

Don't tell @buttplug.engineer yet, but I think I'm getting the hang of teledildonics. Maybe...

Here's my Meshtastic node zip-tied to a miniature dildo since the 3d printer is suffering from a bad case of The GLOB

You gotta admit “The Mind Palace” does sound like a fantastic name for an adult arcade

(The seedy type where there are booths where you jork it to porn not the ones where you play vintage arcade games. millennials ruined everything.)

this resonates with me enough that I am changing my LinkedIn job title for my startup that runs @buttplug.io to “spoogemopper at the mind palace”

yeah--I have pretty much always said "I don't really like programming, I like having programmed".

sometimes I might get some endorphins from doing something particularly clever, but usually it's just janitorial work to instantiate my mind palace

As someone who often tries (and routinely fails) to explain what happens when you actually run a software *as* art project to a lot of people, this point really isn’t well understood across a wide swath of both devs and non devs.

Not sure if that says more about art or software.

Yeah this is why we get the madness

As much as I want to be as far from this discourse as possible, I also just can't resist a shitpost, and I hate that about myself.

To all the open source developers who put hours and hours of their lives into a project they built, put it out into the world, and now it sits with approximately zero users.

The thing that taught me USB programming.

Which is probably why I'm still mad at it.
