23, she/her (transfem)
fka "what", "ironlake", probably some other names in there..
software dev with too much time on her hands
roughly interested in games, game modding, (old) malware
libbed the fuck up (with some very tiny amounts of socdem)
okay lmfao i actually did some research and this gets even stupider

the reason this conspiracy even exists is because in the 80s the heritage foundation "concepts of a plan"'d the individual mandate (without ever pushing republican reps/senators into drafting a bill with it included).. which is...
i think the weirdest left-wing/tankie conspiracy theory ive seen lately is that the ACA was a "heritage foundation plan" that Obama co-opted???

its like some people have fundamentally completely forgotten what compromise is and think everything is a exact good or bad with no in-betweens whatsoever

a bit of a "it's been nearly 3 weeks and I've had time to be a bit more levelheaded and think through a bit more" post but basically I would like to make video essays about Things at some point, but I do not want to ever do anything like this person does and make them weirdly overtly negative
this is why i request to be beaten to a pulp if i ever make any content like this, for the crime of even daring to do such a thing; because the dishonesty is built in to the form of content itself. even besides the shitty title I got the undertones of negativity and the title change confirmed it

it sucks that kling ended up being a fascist piece of shit because while he wasn't trying to do Rust with a Fascism (aka: Jakt) for what felt like 2 weeks he actually showed off a number of decent clean patterns and vocabulary types for C++ code to use

a project i've been working on has gradually went from "let's make a server emulator for something that's literally lost media past a login screen" to "let's write a coroutine scheduler in C++23"

i'm not really serious about it BUT i think it would be a bit cleaner in certain cases

finally ripped out kde from my system and replaced it with XFCE and Jesus christ it's so much lighter and faster wtf
November 28, 2025 at 7:17 PM
kde has announced they're "going all in on a wayland future"

it is what it is, i'm disappointed but i figure nows the time to give xfce or something leaner a shot anyways

the original title was "SSX - A Product Of The Times" and now it really just seems like this new title is meant to make the video more negative

why can't people who make video essays on youtube be *honest*. i guarantee this will rack up more views but jesus fucking christ
November 22, 2025 at 1:36 PM
wow i knew the tankies on this site could be bad but christ i didn't know it was *that* bad

here's a hint: if you harass, misgender, and call a trans person slurs, you are a terrible person, regardless of what "politics" you stand for (mostly as a fashion toy rather then to actually help people)

like how i'm insane enough to run perforce 2001.1 in 2025 on a modern linux machine

it.. somehow works perfectly still
November 21, 2025 at 4:34 AM
i love nt4 it's like basically two sides of a coin

- one side is nearly perfect experience, no problems, a working third-party usb stack (with HID! on an os which doesn't even support PnP!!)
- the other is the os can just decide to explode without even doing anything to it

the tendency of people to essentially echo chamber themselves over one bad experience with a piece of software really eludes me

yes, i get bad experiences tend to go around. but i haven't had major issues with imhex and constantly acting egotistical about your choice to not use it is... something

fred durst of all people being a resistlib is not something i ever would have expected

lol now endermans fucking whining because it got even remotely found out his stupid "IT AI. IT ALL AI" bullfuckery isnt even true

and he's whining in exactly the same predictable way i've known him to be like

i didnt say he was a shitty person for no reason
hes a stupid russian nationalist prick
November 9, 2025 at 1:26 AM
everyone going "OMG SAVE ENDERMAN" should know that hes a terrible person and honestly had this shit coming for him for years. I knew him personally and he discarded me basically as soon as he possibly could. is it unfair for that to forever set my opinion of him? maybe for a one time incident
November 4, 2025 at 10:28 AM
i actually kind of have some issue with SOME slur reclaiming. i don't mind like "queer" but something like the f-slur (you can probably see it posted on here by tankies if you really want to know what i'm referring to) i am not really that okay with. obviously i'm not everyone, but

discord is a masterclass in completely fucking up ux that wasn't even that bad and replacing it with something that's objectively worse

an alt i have got a/b tested for this new search ui where they're moving filters and NO LONGER ACTUALLY DISPLAYING THE FILTERING SYNTAX

WHO WANTS THIS? WHO?

it kind of weirdly sucks being trans and liberal because i feel kind of like i'm in an outgroup

do i think liberals can do better? without question
does that mean you have to shit all over them and splinter things further? uh no lol

of course most of the people who engage in splintering don't care

reverse engineering the idrac kvm and vmedia protocols to write a vnc proxy has been an experience (i.e: i genuinely heavily question the sanity of anyone involved with this trashfire)

i got one of my old computers working again on my birthday and i'm both relieved and extremely pissed at myself

cause i need a better network card, this etherlink iii isa is not good at all. i've been eyeing a intel eepro100 (mostly because it's what was there before babby lily was stupid)
September 20, 2025 at 9:59 PM
getting closer to the ripe old 25 /j

it is actually my birthday though

actually didn't know std::generator existed. problem is now i have a whole set of my own generator library and some generators i've already written that i have to adapt.

i guess it would be possible to write a template function which spits out a generator which adapts?

i've finally been playing around with kate's project/lsp client and i honestly think i may have finally found the thing which gets me to completely drop vscode

i wanted to do it anyways with microsoft slowly but surely making more and more of their extensions only function on "genuine" vsc, but...
