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

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

if you see me mention #GAGSProject that's this: https://cryptid.cafe/notice/AxJRZIJ0k4hAXnDCsq

just finished far cry new dawn and i wouldn’t really say i enjoyed it as much as far cry 5. it was a nice little epilogue more than it was a sequel to that game. some loose ends tied and a new threat to take down. felt more like a really long dlc than it did it’s own game. but it was a nice time overall. i wish the twins would’ve felt more like a threat. they couldn’t really compete with the seed siblings in terms of how compelling they were. they felt sorta generic. which would’ve been fine had they really delved into the joseph seed half of the story which felt like it took a back seat most of the time

indies need to stop juicing games so much that you can’t tell what’s happening on your screen

lately this has been happening with AA devs too and it’s a bit concerning. I feel like visual clarity is becoming very underrated

hey if any of y’all liked Hades or Hades 2 I highly recommend giving Bastion a try. it’s an earlier game from the same devs and IMO it’s by far the best game they’ve made

there’s also Transistor, but it’s very weird - both in terms of gameplay and story

I'm gonna say something controversial are you ready. I think that leftist spaces need to have more tolerance for people not quite getting it because people do not learn by being trapped in a moral panopticon. Be nice and understanding and meet people where they are. And for the love of god don't make people read entire pieces of literature or research papers or whatever just to participate, this is not a book club

To anyone wondering if braided cables have any practical use or if they're just a pretty-looking fad: I once had a fever dream where a friend of mine dared me to try and destroy his indestructible self regenerating biological supercomputer, and I found myself unable to, and when I woke up that morning I found out I had been sleeping and had tried very very hard to rip the (braided) cable out of my new and expensive mouse and it just would not break

the ubuntu situation
Show content

in what looks like a decision that came from the top, ubuntu has done the right thing (reverted the edit and apologized). and if the edit was everything that happened, that would maybe be enough, but the more worrying thing (the responses from mods arguing that "queer is a sexual term" or that "it's a political term") remain unaddressed

The way people look down on immigrants for not speaking their language perfectly.

Echoes the way neurodivergent people mock neurotypical people for the way they speak.

Both are elitist and supremacist.
That our way of speaking is superior and we don’t need to be flexible or accommodate the way we talk to other people to be better understood.

Communication is a highly valuable skill, it can be learned.

This attitude is really throwing our hands in the air and saying ‘we won‘, when it’s not a competition. 02dead

Docker rant. also a sex toy is involved
Show content

so I got a Lovense Gush today! which is a bluetooth-controlled vibrator, basically. and I’ve been trying to make it controllable through the internet without using the Lovense app (which will almost definitely sell my sex toy data and any other data they can get their hands on)

so I found a well-liked GitHub FOSS project and git cloned it. but I got an arcane NPM error when I tried to install the dependencies because of course I did: it’s fucking Node and it’s fucking server software. but I saw a bunch of Docker files and realized that I was probably supposed to use it through Docker (there were no instructions so I was just kinda guessing)

so I checked and sure enough, there was a Docker image for it with 1.2k downloads

so I:

  • downloaded and installed Docker™ Desktop© (which is a 2.7 GB Electron app)
  • created a Docker™ Personal-Use® Account©
  • agreed to their terms of service
  • agreed to their privacy policy
  • agreed that they could sequence my DNA, copyright my face, and break into my house to install surveillance cameras
  • verified my email
  • opted out of spam emails
  • rebooted my computer
  • got a WSL error
  • reconfigured WSL
  • rebooted my computer
  • waited 10 minutes for the stupid Docker image to download and then idempotize its quaternions or whatever the fuck Docker does

and then… it crashed. it just fucking crashed because of a dependency error inside of the container. I hate Docker so much

Ubuntu mod team takes anti-queer "Don't say gay" stance.
Show content

Please boost for awareness.

Recently one of my friends posted an introduction post to the official Ubuntu forums.

https://web.archive.org/web/20250905060630/https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/lukas-here-hello-to-all/66658
(original link: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/lukas-here-hello-to-all/66658 )

Seems fine except for maybe a bit of bad grammar around the "I am also a furry" part right? Well turns out behind the scenes the post was edited to not say "I am queer" before mentioning being a furry, and they got in a lotta trouble with the mods. This led to them no longer feeling welcome on the Ubuntu discourse forums.

The reason given was that the word Queer is a sexual word, which is just patently untrue. Saying you're queer gives less info into your sex life than mentioning your wife/husband, and if that was banned it'd be fucking stupid. Of course by the responses of the mods, it is made clear that that's not the real reason, and instead they're making the decision because of politics.

In the next few posts I'll talk about these extremely problematic moderator responses.
