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

after we queers take over the world what’s first on our agenda?

2% ban straight marriage
14% abolish gender
3% dronify all cishets
11% put genderfluid in the water supply
3% broadcast gay urges from every 5G tower
11% tf potion research
51% eat the rich

I’ve been thinking about taking a really basic 6-month training course from my local community college, to do accounting work

I know almost nothing about accounting but with the tech industry in the US imploding, I thought my chances of getting hired to do this might be better

do any of y’all have experience with this kind of very basic accounting? the main things that I want to know are:

  • is it autistic-friendly?
  • is it possible to work remotely?
  • how easy/hard is it to get hired?

I’d love some of y’all’s input - I have no idea what I’m doing and I feel like I can’t even make educated guesses

Valve is building themselves another blue ocean of potential by fixing a service problem that is usually the big barrier for gaming in Linux. I hope the Steam machines do well too. https://frvr.com/blog/news/valves-brilliant-steam-deck-now-accounts-for-over-21-percent-of-all-linux-gamers/

I don’t get how Create became so popular. it’s so hard to do anything and even basic item processing is so intimidating T_T

I made a modpack for myself that specifically centers around Create and a few other mods like Crossroads, but I’ve been too scared to even touch Create itself lol

every time I buy a DNS address it’s like $1 or less and then 6 months later I get an email telling me that next year it’s going to be like $30 wtf

is Namecheap scamming me, or am I just really unlucky?

Hey you. Yeah, you. If you've gotten this far, don't lose sight of the fact that you're fighting for the future. That you are bright, and capable, and in an important space in an important time.

Of the complexity that brought you here, or sight of the world that doesn't see this inner battle raging inside of our domain.

Don't look back on this and wonder if you could have done more.

Apparently Farscape is all on Youtube. Official channel has all the episodes. Did not expect that.

nono you see it’s very simple. undefined means “there’s nothing here”, but null means “there’s something here, and that something is nothing”

It is 20:30 (8:30 PM) on Sunday, the fourth of January in the year of our Lord 2026, and I am…

Looking up whether I want to use `null` or `undefined` in my JavaScript code.

We party hard here.

two of my posts are blowing up right now which means that my notifications are a mess - so I might miss some @ mentions from y’all while that’s happening - unfortunately the way that Akkoma handles notifications is not the best and I don’t have a good way to filter through them

an American president can never be held accountable. therefore, an American president must never make a decision

omg I just found a really good way to quickly tell if I’m going to like a roguelite

I literally just need to google for “best synergies in [game]”. like for Hades 1 and 2 people just talk about standard ARPG stuff like crit chance or damage over time - but for Binding of Isaac you can learn about tons of cool options

also it seems like maybe I dismissed Slay the Spire too quickly. you can unlock some pretty cool synergies later in the game

pro tip: if learning Unity causes you to have an existential crisis then maybe you should try not learning Unity instead

I wish I could tell Steam to only show me games that would still be fun if I skipped all of the story. I feel like that would eliminate a lot of time spent watching game trailers to try to gauge how story-focused they are

there are three kinds of programming tutorials:

  • “look man we both know you don’t wanna learn this shit so just install 30 GB of random frameworks and here’s the code to copy-paste if you wanna make a basic game and feel like you accomplished something. I’m not gonna explain how any of this works because nobody cares as long as your little guy jumps when you press spacebar”
  • “an endofunctor is a type of monoid which is a subcategory of monad that is variadic over the set of all impure lambdas - therefore all possible expressions in this language can be modeled after- wait where are you going?”
  • “this is called a variable! a variable is a little friend that can hold onto something called a value! variables love grabbing values and they can even carry them into functions! say hi, variable!”

making fun of Linux stuff

I feel like there’s a certain type of personality that is drawn to Linux because they like solving software problems and Linux gives them lots of software problems to solve

but eventually they get too good at solving Linux problems and get bored, so they switch to Arch - which delivers new software problems to their computer all the time. but eventually they get too good at solving Arch problems so they switch to NixOS, which is an infinite wellspring of software problems to solve
