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

@ShadowJonathan I really like playing games and I have a very low tolerance for needing to tinker in order to make software work or to fix system problems. also I just don’t have the patience or interest to learn the things that I need to learn in order to use Linux

plus O&O ShutUp 10 automatically disables all of the enshittification for me on Windows 11 so I’m having a very good experience with it for now

Persona 5 Vibe Poll
Show content

There are things I like about the Persona games, but some topics I do not feel like they handle well. I bounced off of Persona 5 because I did not vibe with the overall culture around sexual assault. We have been playing through Persona 4 together, and most of it has been fun, but we didn't enjoy how they handled stuff like the beauty pagent. So my question is, should I play Persona 5 with my sister once we finish Persona 4?

Boosts are welcome.

100% Yes (it gets better)
0% Yes (but some parts are rough)
0% No (since you can't get past the culture)
0% No (don't worry there is more of that)
0% No (it gets worse)

the only AAA games I would willingly pay $60 for are all from Nintendo and they were all released 10-20 years ago

meanwhile there are hundreds of $5-$15 indie games that I would willingly pay $60 for but simply don’t have to because indie games are amazing

chat I have this revolutionary idea where if a company wants to hire a worker to do labor for money, they post this thing called a “job ad” and then people apply for that job. and then people go through a process called “interviewing” where a skilled worker at that job determines if the job applicant would be skilled at doing the job too

it’s kinda like the job postings we have now but the difference is that a job posting is fake but a job ad would be real. with a job ad the goal would be to hire the most skilled worker they can find. but with a job posting obviously the goal is to stroke the ego of a middle manager who gets to “interview” people for 1 hour at a time and act smug and condescending to them while asking weird vague invasive questions about the applicant’s life and personality, which have nothing to do with their ability to perform labor

another important difference is that if you apply to enough job ads you will eventually be hired, because the goal is to hire workers. whereas if you apply to job postings you will get automated rejection emails 3-7 months later

the idea is that people who are skilled at doing labor will be allowed to eat and access medical care and have certain basic human rights in the United States

Python’s multiple inheritance is amazing because it lets me basically have Rust traits except I don’t have to understand how Rust traits work in order to use it

@jbc no problem! if you end up trying it I hope you like it. I got pretty overwhelmed and stopped tbh but I think that’s just because I’ve been going through everything way too fast lol and maybe should’ve slowed down and absorbed the information more, and maybe redone the earlier problems to practice and cement my knowledge more

@kasdeya I think rustlings is pretty close? https://rustlings.rust-lang.org/ and then this one is totally amazing where you program in subleq for the sic-1, and you get these cute emails like you're a worker from decades ago and whatnot https://jaredkrinke.itch.io/sic-1

so apparently I’m the type of autistic person who can’t handle their routines being thrown off

I’m learning this because I just traveled to visit my partner and every single routine I have is in total chaos now and I can not handle it lol

I think I’m getting things back under control again though but wow I was not ready to learn this about myself and deal with it at the same time
