601I 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

if you roll brussels sprouts in salted olive oil and put them in the oven on high heat until they get nice and brown, they are fucking delicious, very cheap to make, take basically zero effort, and they’re drastically healthier than my usual American poverty diet

me: English language can you give me they/them pronouns for referring to multiple non-people?
English language: to clearly indicate whether you’re talking about multiple people or multiple inanimate objects?
me: yeees
*actually uses them to refer to multiple it/its beings like a boss*

Fascinating blog that reveals a worrying practice: https://jviide.iki.fi/http-redirects.
Many sites exposing a service with an HTTP API can be accessed on HTTP. Sure, the server will redirect to HTTPS, but the client has already sent credentials over the HTTP connection, basically sending password-equivalent data in clear text! Consequences are easy to guess. The blog lists dozens of servers doing that, some small, several quite big!

kasdeyanot sure if this will be an unpopular opinion but:
the fun of a roguelike/roguelite comes from being given a weird, randomized toolset and trying to improvise around that. part of the fun is also trying to build off of that toolset to create an overpowered combination of abilities
in some runs you get completely overpowered without even trying, and with others your luck is so bad that you can barely accomplish anything. but the more you play and start to see patterns in how to become powerful, the better you get at using the strangest things to your advantage. in order for this to work, items need to be able to strongly synergize: they need to interact with each other in intricate ways that affect your playstyle a lot
and the problem that I have with modern roguelites is that they just don’t seem to remember this? with the exception of Balatro which completely nails it. but like try creating an overpowered combo in Hades 1 or Cult of the Lamb or Severed Steel’s Rogue Steel mode. you basically just can’t. all of the upgrades are super bland and don’t really have any potential for interesting synergies
I feel like a lot of indie games are being shoehorned into the roguelite mold, instead of being created from the ground up in order to be an interesting roguelite
(this post inspired by me replaying a game with a lot of potential but which fell flat in just enough areas to kinda ruin its own gameplay: Teleglitch. one of its biggest mistakes was that it Should Not Have Been A Roguelite)

ada@beige.partyDear website designers,
Please stop disabling text selection (highlight) on your websites.
First, it isn't exactly rocket science to bypass;
second, there are people who highlight the paragraphs they are reading.
More of this and I will copy and paste them somewhere else out of spite.

I need to write a proper post about this at some point, but for now, here's the short version:
If you're purportedly fighting racism on fedi, purportedly trying to make it a more diverse space, purportedly trying to make it a more welcoming space to people that aren't white, etc, stop assuming people that don't have their race plastered in all caps on their profile are white, k? 
(*especially* if you're a POC yourself)
Because you know what that is? White-washing, an example of the very racism we're trying to fight, and something that makes a space seem less diverse than it actually is 
The fact that it's used against POC to discredit what we have to say is just the cherry on top (and often even a wonderful example of lateral violence 
)
p.s. Deflecting criticism from poc by insinuating they're not actually poc, that they're actually white, is included in this as well. Some people use this as their go-to defense, painting everyone who they don't agree with as 'white' or 'not poc enough'.

kasdeyamy brain is completely fried after doing a DailyProgrammer in Fennel @_@
I think I’m getting the hang of Lisp’s weirdness though – a little bit. Fennel is definitely the perfect gateway into Lisp for me:
- it’s easy to write imperative code
- it’s very small and simple
- under the surface it’s basically just Lua, and I know Lua decently well
I’m using fennel-ls as my LSP and it’s… workable. it definitely helps a lot more than having no LSP

5225225@furry.engineernew pronoun notation: appending a number to be used as a weight for random pronoun selection
it/its:10 she/her:5 they/them:1
10/16 it/its, 5/16 she/her, 1/16 they/them
maybe include 0 as a "i won't get mad at you for using this but avoid it"
it/its in a she/her:0 way

so uh… the entire American tech industry has shit itself and there are no longer any tech jobs at all, whatsoever. could anyone recommend a new career path for me? I am:
- very technically minded
- very fast at learning things on my own - especially if I can tinker/experiment with them (or a simulation of them) to gain an intuition
- extremely good with computers, programming, etc.
- cripplingly socially anxious, so ideally it should involve as little interaction with people as possible
- very anxious in general so it shouldn’t be a stressful job, ideally
- on a truly disgusting sleep schedule. I’d love if I could do shift work instead of having to wake up at 8am
- looking for a job that has a lot of demand for workers, so it’s easy to get hired. I’ve been trying to get a tech job for years but nobody likes me
- okay with going through a training program for up to a year, but no longer than a year
I’d really love to hear about any options that y’all know about

I guess I should do an #introduction post, again, now that this instance is actually working and it's not looking like I'm gonna have to torch it and start over again, again.
Hello and welcome to my followers—745, so far, last I checked. Not nearly as many as some; a few more than I deserve, probably.
If you think you know me by some other name, you're probably right. I wouldn't say I'm exactly new to the #Fediverse, but I'm still newer than a lot of people who are likely to read this. I'll take any reasonable advice from anyone. This is the second #GotoSocial instance I've self-hosted on my own hardware. As of the exact moment I'm writing this, I'm in the process of of migrating from my account on the first one.
As far as software, I've been on #NixOS for a few years now, and #Qtile with the #Wayland backend for almost as long. #XMonad was my first #TilingWindowManager properly; tried #i3 before that, wasn't impressed. Give me #Vim at the very least, or preferably #Neovim. Current terminal emulator is #WezTerm.
GED in 2011 at the age of 17, no formal education beyond that.
I have #ADHD and #TouretteSyndrome, both diagnosed when I was 24.
Hobbies include but are not limited to collecting #rocks, watching and (and this is putting it charitably) reviewing #movies, and #unicycle.
I'm sure there's more; feel free to ask.
Thank you.
