Pretty sure I'm the only person in the city traveling away from the Mariners game right now, ha.

Soulseek is the worst, basically

Megan @gameraobscura.bsky.social · 3d

related to that repost, I wish there were an alternative to Soulseek that didn't require port forwarding, worked with a VPN, and DMs that can't be disabled (and are infested with people telling you to kill yourself or trying to sell access to their pirated content).

Got permission to WFH this afternoon to avoid the Mariners game, WHEW.

I don't care if that conflicts with whatever Gaston is actually doing.

Megan @gameraobscura.bsky.social · 5d

my headcanon is now that after Gaston died, he was isekai'd into this kid and that's why there's a Bowflex

Holy shit, I finally got my rheumatology referral. Now to see how long it takes to get an appointment.

Also, my lapsed Catholic ass cannot believe that anyone, even Peter Thiel, is using "papist" as an unironic slur in the 21st century.

"Caesar-Papist fusion" is the coolest thing anyone has ever called JD Vance.

This is my dance about how much transphobes suck.

Bondi claiming they arrested [checks notes] "the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa" has me in stitches

Bondi: "Bondi: "Just like we did with cartels, we are going to take the same approach, President Trump, with antifa -- destroy the entire organization from top to bottom. We are going to take them apart."

The entire populace of Seattle seems to be in a good mood right now, which I'm assuming we can attribute to the Mariners and/or the blessings of the Etsy Witch.

My work computer, which has Microsoft E5 and Enterprise Teams (so it's all billed through my employer's account and I can't upgrade any services) is now showing me a peristent banner in Teams to "unlock Premium." Fuck off, Microsoft.

Yeah, I just need to find the right screwdriver. (New 3DS, so the SD card is under a screwed cover.)

I feel a deep need to correct what IntSys was too cowardly for (gay marriage and gender unlocking certain classes).

Megan @gameraobscura.bsky.social · 12d

Guess I get a little break at work while Cloudflare fixes its shit.

Megan @gameraobscura.bsky.social · 14d

I keep meaning to jailbreak my 3DS to play some Fire Emblem mods.

The only time somewhere I worked used VPN for a remote office was a company that had a three-person shack (which wasn't worth giving its own server).

So like real life K-pop? (And Japanese idol singers, and Y2K teen pop in western countries, and 1960s TV pop bands before that, I am not dunking on Korea specifically here.)

On one hand, perfect excuse to eliminate any remaining remote work. On the other, outsourcing gets very hard.

A woman in the Chandelier Bar at the Cosmopolitan told me that my skin is stunning, which is a wild and extremely validating thing to hear on my 40th birthday!

I think the one currently being thrown under the bus in slow motion is computer science. It really did do a whole arc from underpaid womens' secretary work to rich-ass white guy work to underpaid outsource work.
