I like tech, art, jewelry making, and caring about things and people. and music.

What’s the right balance between things that matter and things that are pretty? I don’t fuckin know, you get what you get

the larian stuff sucks to hear a lot. you have to be a true all-timer loser to think generative AI is useful for concepting ideas or artwork. you let the machine do the fun part you dumbass. it doesnt tell me you think efficiently it tells me youre a fuckass who's given up on being interesting

I hope there's enough pushback that Vincke reconsiders his position. I would really like to enjoy the great work all the devs at Larian are doing without upper management forcing this unnecessary shit into their workflow.

There's being a nerd, and there's reverse engineering Microsoft Bob so you can become the platform's first/only third party app developer. (Yes, this nerd is my partner. Yes, this talk will be amazing)
I'll be giving two talks at #fosdem2026 !

On Saturday on the main stage I will be giving a talk about developing a Microsoft Bob application, and what we can learn from it today.

On Sunday I'll be talking about the history of MCI mail, the MEP2 protocol […]

Absolutely this.

Transphobia isn’t:
- “collaborating” with Nazism
- “enabling” Nazism
- Nazism “adjacent”

It IS Nazism.
The comorbidity of neo-Nazism and transphobia isn't just a kind of "one bad belief leads to all bad beliefs". At its core, it's the same belief: belief in a rigid societal order where your station at birth determines your future, your role, and how you must labor.

A belief in biodestiny, in short.
Today, I examine how the boundaries of the Nation are co-constituted by race, disability, and sexuality, but also---notably---gender and control over reproduction.

And ask everyone to stop saying transfeminism is 'imperialist'. For fuck's sake.

i have me some vaguely Christmas earrings now :3

are they identical? no. are they as identical as i wanted them? also no. but they’re close enough given how organic my approach was and you won’t be able to tell once I’m wearing them.

photos of that tomorrow maybe, i’m ugly and tired today.

Please stop playing Fortnite if you support the continued existence of Trans people.

If you've been playing up until now, you have the power to show them that their willingness to support blatant Transphobia comes with serious consequence to the size of their playerbase.

please trust the people who tell you you're beautiful? please trust the people who say they love you, and that you are lovable? please trust the people who say they want to see you, and who are happy in your company?

you believe all the bad things about yourself; try believing the good things.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.
