641I 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

this is probably obvious to y’all but I just realized that Empty Spaces, Human Domestication Guide, and mechsploitation are all genres that are trying to do roughly the same thing. the common themes are:
- an innocent POV character
- who was/is made to be completely passive
- is robbed of power, agency, and dignity
- and subjected to extreme, eroticized abuse
and I think what’s going on is that these are ways to process trauma - especially the kind of trauma that comes from abuse that happened over a long period of time, where the abuse victim is shaped into being whatever is most convenient for the abuser, with no regard for the abuse victim’s physical or mental wellbeing. which effectively shapes them into a doll, or a mech pilot, or a floret
obviously recreating trauma through kink is a well-known thing at this point, and I think that these fiction genres are probably some combination of that and vent art. I guess it’s probably a way to take control over the trauma - to re-experience it in a way that feels safe. if I felt safe reading fiction, maybe I would like these genres too

futurebird@sauropods.winEveryone is arguing about what the Roman Dodecahedrons are for, but the "sacred geometry" crowd isn't bothered by solving the mystery. They have put some "EMF protection antennas" and "transmitting balls" on something they 3D printed and are blocking ALL the bad energy with all the confidence of God.
And someday? Someone may find this artifact too and they will wonder.

kasdeyaironically I think that the only job that LLMs could effectively replace right now, without hurting a company’s bottom line, would be upper managers
because think about it: LLMs are fantastic at taking in a fuckton of data that they don’t understand, and confidently producing output that sounds really smart and insightful but has no substance whatsoever. that’s literally an upper manager’s entire job description

the month of December is almost here. many of the December parasites have already matured into the early stages of their yearly awakening
early warning signs of infection include a single-minded obsession with disgustingly saccharine music, disgustingly saccharine food, disgustingly saccharine movies, and disgustingly saccharine phrases like “holly jolly”
soon nearly every public place will be littered with garish artifacts of the infected including an inescapable loop of ear-bleeding brainworm music in order to entice the infected into spending as much money as possible
remember to avoid contact with the infected and their ritualized gift-exchange as much as possible during this time. do not let them drag you into this no matter how much they shame, guilt, or coerce - and above all stay safe out there. I’ll see you on the other side

kasdeyaa problem that I often run into when learning a new Tech Thing is figuring out how to apply the knowledge that I’m learning about, without asking myself to do something that’s too hard with my current knowledge. but this Haskell MOOC does all the work for me and that’s amazing
specifically it comes with a git repo that I can clone. for each chapter there’s a premade file full of stub code and comments that describe what the code should do. and I just edit the stub code in order to make it work. then there’s another file that I can run to unit-test those challenges. that way I instantly know if I did each challenge right
this is genuinely a lot of fun to do and it helps reassure me that I am actually absorbing the information that I’m reading
I really wish that there were more courses(?) like this for learning tech stuff. even just something at the end of each chapter like “here are some optional challenges that you might want to try at this point” would go a long way

instead of “I use Arch btw” it should be “ugh hang on. I use Arch :/“
as in: “hey can you plug your laptop into the TV so we can use it to watch the movie?” “ugh hang on. let me check the Arch wiki. okay actually this is pretty confusing. wait a sec pacman just borked something. okay uhh… let me work on this for a few hours”

kasdeyaI think the reason why I like programming and software tinkering but not OS tinkering is because with the former two I get to decide when I do the tinkering
but if I start tinkering with my OS then it decides when I do the tinkering. it can just suddenly be like “hahaha I broke myself! time to learn about partition resizing!”
which is not great when I leave in a few days and need a functioning laptop and do not have the energy or patience for Linuxing

kasdeyaif you want to try Linux don’t use Arch it’s a trap. I’ve heard Linux Mint is good instead
also make one big partition don’t have a separate /home partition
