software tinkerer and aspiring rationalist. transhumanist and alterhuman

I try to be very careful about CWing things. sometimes I make mistakes but I want to make my posts as safe to read as possible

I sometimes post NSFW/kinky/lewd things behind CWs. this should go without saying but if you're a minor please do not interact with anything lewd/NSFW that I post

I have very limited energy and am very shy so it might take me a long time to reply to messages sometimes, or I might not be able to reply at all. this is kind of an "output only" account for the most part, but I'm hopeful that I can change that over time

I sometimes use curly braces to {clearly show where a grammatical phrase begins and ends}, like that. you can think of them like parenthesis in code or math, except they operate on grammar instead

Feels like many of my followers could use these images in some wonderful memes. Or in flirting. Or you can just be happy knowing that the Deaf community tends to be very queer-positive and that even "mainstream" apps teach LGBTQ+ terms, etc.

But also, yeah, I know some of you -- even hearies -- are gonna be dropping these screenshots in non-ASL conversations, heh. 🤟

In a gift economy, wealth is understood as having enough to share, and the practice for dealing with abundance is to give it away: In fact, status is determined not by how much one accumulates, but by how much one gives away. The currency in a gift economy is relationship, which is expressed as gratitude, as interdependence and the ongoing cycles of reciprocity. [...] the economic unit is "we" rather than "I", as all flourishing is mutual.

multiplayer games need more casual gamemodes. and by that I specifically mean:

  • gamemodes where winning vs. losing mostly comes down to luck
  • gamemodes that go on forever, like 24/7 TF2 servers
  • gamemodes with “blue shell” mechanics that make things harder and harder for the more skilled players while making things easier for less skilled players
  • gamemodes where there is no concept of “winning” vs. “losing” (for example: a gamemode where you change teams each time you’re killed, and the first team to have every player on it wins)

@tempest aw that’s very fair. I get so frustrated by math because it feels impossible for me to learn anything about it by googling. like if I have a question about chemistry or economics or sociology or computer science I can probably find an answer within 10 minutes if not faster, but for math it seems like you have to learn it in a predetermined order through one textbook after another and that is just extremely not my learning style tbh

okay so, I’m glad that they’re remastering Deus Ex 1 but I don’t think I like the new look at all tbh. it looks like an Xbox 360 era game and not in a good way. I actually prefer the original’s look a fair bit over this

computer science: a quaternion is an angle

mathematicians: nono you see a quaternion is a four-dimensional associative normed division algebra over the real numbers

computer science: a normalized vector is 2-3 numbers that add up to 1. it’s a helpful way of defining a direction, like a character’s travel direction in a video game. they’re actually really easy to calculate and understand

mathematicians: ummm no actually there’s no such thing as a normalized vector, but a unit vector is defined as [eldritch garbled equations with no further context or elaboration]

if math could be explained in a way that everyone can understand it would be called physics

math is actually a scam. nobody knows what an integrand or an antiderivative is - they’re all just pretending in order to seem smart. all those Wikipedia pages? pure technobabble. all that weird squiggly notation? no rhyme or reason at all

that’s why all math technobabble is exclusively explained in terms of more math technobabble. there are no plain English axioms that everyone can understand - it’s technobabble all the way down
