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

last boost

with those “choose which one you want to fuck” style images I always tried to figure out what the personalities of each of the characters would be, based on their expressions and poses

but for a lot of pics I had a really hard time figuring out how they were meant to be different personality-wise. and that’s when I realized that I was supposed to be choosing based on appearance ms_facepalm

哲学専攻で先輩に繰り返し教えられたのは

「人は同じ言語を使っていても、その語の意味内容は人によってかなり違うので、その人がその語でどのような概念を表象させているか慎重に精査せよ」

であった。
例えば「人間」という言葉を使っていても、私の世界観なら「人間は基本的にろくでもない生物」として使うが、他の人は「人間は無限の可能性がある」という意味で使う。

おなじ言葉でも、意味がまったく違うことが多い。ここへの着眼は仕事でも役に立っている。

I found a group of people very passionately talking about how much they hate it when writers base their fictional worlds on the real world, and how horribly lazy they think it is, and how any writer that does that is a loser, and so on and so forth, and all I can think is “okay. so?”

to be clear, I do think truly original worldbuilding is wonderful and I always love to see it. I just don’t understand at all how someone could think of that as the bare minimum when:
A: it’s as difficult as it is even for the most creative of people
B: even the most alien worlds are still always tied to reality one way or another, whether or not the writer intended it
C: the real world is as ridiculous and sometimes unbelievable as it is anyway
and D: there are so many great stories that reality never told, and telling those stories often works best in a world resembling our own

you know what I think is lazy? fiction that’s just straight up in the real world. why would you ever want to write what is essentially fanfiction of reality? are you so uncreative that you can only imagine things when it’s feasible that they could have happened outside your door? and on the other hand, why would you ever want to read this kind of fiction? are you so unimaginative that anything that you don’t immediately recognize and could point to on a map makes your brain short circuit?

I jest, of course. everything I just said sounds ridiculous, right? I think that group I encountered sounded equally ridiculous

though there was a grain of truth there, I personally really don’t enjoy real-world fiction very much. I want things that are new and interesting, but I also appreciate many aspects of the real world, and I think worldbuilding that uses reality as its base of inspiration is a great way to play with that

my own world is (currently) inspired by parts of the real world, and I don’t feel lazy for doing that, I feel that it’s given me many opportunities to learn things about some world history and cultures that I never otherwise would have, because I put a lot of thought into this thing so I could create something unique, believable, and recognizable, all at once. it’s still my world, after all. I built it, I didn’t just take it

I can foresee certain types of people hearing me say this and responding with something about escapism, so I also want to point out that this is specifically not about escapism. if I, or anyone else interested in this type of worldbuilding, wanted pure escapism, we would be writing high fantasy or some such, stuff that’s completely detached from reality (on the surface anyway). I specifically don’t want that though, there are things I want to say and perspectives I want to explore here, in this world, and I don’t think trying to do that in a completely disconnected world would be the same, because that clear, grounded recognizability is part of the message, and it would be missing that way. if the only two acceptable kinds of fiction to you are 100% realism and 100% escapism, then you have a skill issue, writers and readers alike

there’s one thing I can probably agree with that group on though. it is lazy to just copy and paste something from the real world wholesale and change nothing but the name. but that’s not what they were talking about at the time

okay i’ve been on fedi a while but i think i actually have a bunch of others i’m interacting with who don’t know me so i’m making another intro post

hi!!!! i’m rowan, a complete disaster anarchist vegan audhd kitsunegirl artist / game dev / literally whatever sounds interesting. in other words, i’m completely insufferable!! as for identity: i’m a nb trans fem voidpunk. i’m also polyam and t4t sapphic/lesbian (not that any of this is a surprise around These Parts of fedi lovey_hearts). i’m also a switch and occasionally post about my kinks (or very infrequently, i’ll write little lewd/kinky stories).

i apologize compulsively, i have low self esteem, and i’m diagnosed with half of the dsm5 with the other half pending. i’m told that i’m really weird in a cute way but i only believe the weird part. if you wanna know more about this you’ll have to ask, sorry :3

i’m working on a (not so) Super Secret Videoed Game and will occasionally post about that. in fact, i’m usually working on something because it’s really hard for me to not feel productive, so expect lots of that!

administrating a Linux server is worse than CSS and JS combined BlobCat_Googly_NotLikeThis

related, but I’ve been having DNS issues with duckdns and others have been reporting the same, so you can now also access #GAGSProject through https://gags-search.xyz/

so if you’re having problems with https://gags-search.duckdns.org/ , try using the new URL instead. it should be faster and better

looking through some old NeXT promotional materials to find something cool i can hang up

"In all honesty, we couldn't even guess where you might make a comparable purchase. Fortunately, we can tell you precisely where to make this one. Simply call us at 1-800-848-NeXT."

this sounds like some shit cave johnson would say

GAGS: my webapp for searching lewd audio subreddits
Show content

alright I think I’m comfortable saying that GAGS is ready to be used! you can find it here:

https://gags-search.xyz/

GAGS (#GWA Advanced Gender Search) is a tool for searching #EroticAudio / #AudioPorn subreddits like #GoneWildAudio and #EroticHypnosis. unlike GWASI, GAGS lets you search for exactly which listener genders and speaker genders you want. for example you could search for only files by trans men or genderqueer people, and exclude all files for men. I hope this will be especially helpful for beings with complicated sexualities and/or genders who can’t just search for something simple like [F4M]

so if you’re interested in that, please give it a try! keep in mind that it might be a little bit slow because I’m using a cheap VPS, and the reddit API is also very slow

please let me know if:

  • you use a screen-reader and run into problems screen-reading GAGS
  • you’re confused about how to use GAGS (I want to make the UI as easy-to-understand as I can)
  • you get an error page when trying to use it, or you can’t connect to it
  • it takes more than 30 seconds to load a page (this is way too long)
  • you find a security vulnerability
  • most importantly, if you like GAGS or it helped you find something good. I would love to know that I was able to help!

I have very limited energy, but if there’s enough interest and I have the energy to spare then I do want to keep improving #GAGSProject, so feedback is appreciated 💙

also, if GAGS was helpful then please consider boosting this post so that more beings can try it. I don’t want to get deluged with traffic or anything but I’d like to help as many beings as possible find hot audios to listen to that are tailored to their gender and orientation

edit: I updated the link from the old one ( https://gags-search.duckdns.org/search_form ) because the old one was causing DNS issues. so if you weren’t able to connect before, maybe try the new URL and see if it works 💙

Anybody else do this

Y'know when you're doing this big multi-step DIY project that involves doing many things and getting parts and tools and materials and you're holding all this stuff in your head and you notice how much of a big noisy scrungly mess it is up there, all the thoughts and worries and tasks overlapping each other like spaghetti all going in different directions, and you grumble "This is ridiculous, a guy can't get anything done with all that yammering going on," so you start up the computer and the text editor and write out what's going on up there, not because you don't know what's going on but just because thoughts go wibblywoobly like gummy worms and writing goes left to right in a straight line and to turn your oh-I-need-to-do-this-and-that thinkings into a ah-I-need-to-do-this-THEN-that shaped Plan you need to untangle the spaghetti and make it go in the long straight writing-shaped hole

Do you ever think of that like brushing your brain

Like oh no my brain's all tangled I've gotta spend a few minutes giving it a nice brush and make it purr
