no one should talk to the NYT until they retract their clearly biased and transphobic coverage of trans youth and our community.

working on my laptop in the back of the #SGDQ crowd is funny because watching speedruns makes me start trying to optimize all my inputs on work stuff. which is already highly repetitive, and my job is to automate it, so optimization is the norm anyway. I guess speedrunning is the same mindset

Streetpass SGDQ Meetup is TODAY at 2PM in the Meetups room! This is on the 3rd floor in the Duluth room (across from the stream room) I'd post a pic of the map but im not at the venue yet :p should be there like ~30 min before! Come hang out!

lunch tip for #SGDQ attendees: Sushi Takatsu is a local go-to for their daily special. check hours and expect a crowd around noon, but it's skyway-connected to the venue making it super convenient and a VERY good deal

Microsoft should just sell the Xbox brand to Valve. They've admitted they don't know how to make money with it. Put on your evil conglomerate hat for a second. You can also sell businesses. Opposite of your usual transaction where you buy more businesses than you can run—get paid to do nothing.

finally got my 3DS hacked (thanks Alaina) and immediately handed it to gf like "hey babe will you forcefem my Mii?"

caution to fellow #SGDQ attendees: the cold brew on tap at the shop in the hotel lobby is AWFUL. walk to Caribou or Gray Fox instead (avoid Corner Coffee too)

Android AI "features" are so in-your-face that my mom, who is quite tech-literate in general, just accidentally sent me a "photomoji" of a random item in her photo reel. it just made a sticker for her and sent it. she did not mean to. she didn't even know it could do that. seems...easy to screw up.

Went to The Cooler Pride on Saturday just to chill and ended up getting: - a sweatshirt just like my old favorite before it fell apart, but in my favorite color this time, at the free clothes swap - a VHS of The Matrix for $5 Two unexpected scores! I went to Corporate Pride today and got a sunburn.

daring to imagine a world where Microsoft puts Xbox up for sale and the buyer is Valve. probably hinges on whether Xbox manufacturing pipeline is included in the deal, Valve needs more hardware capacity desperately. but they'd also be the only ones who could and would try to keep the games playable.

only cut through the cat tour for a couple minutes on an errand but still managed to pet a cat and encounter someone I haven't seen in years. Minneapolis is so small

34 YEAR OLD WOMAN AT ANIME CON HOTEL PARTY: you sound pretty passionate about that jax character. you know, when i was your age we had similar arguments about a different character, we called it "vriscourse" 22 YEAR OLD WOMAN WHO DIDN'T KNOW SOJU WAS THAT STRONG: could yuo push me down the stairs,,

today is Wash Your Water Bottle Wednesday (observed) because we're going to the gym tonight

got an unknown number text today that was just "I'm making hand-pulled noodles soon, ever tried them fresh?" and if that's what passes for spam bait these days honestly it almost worked on me

girl things,

finished all achievements in Hades 2. games like this always require me to look up a guide for 1 of the last few and at least 1 that's sheer luck, but it was enjoyable with the new modes that make it easier to just hop in random runs. still a couple boons to snipe for the fated list before I'm done.

obscure webdev issue: need a keyboard input to always select a focused checkbox (insert the check), never deselect (remove the check). it seems this USED to exist using +/- buttons years ago, but is no longer a default in modern browsers. spacebar toggling is insufficient, box state is not readable

Girls is it gay to rip out a tube from your own prosthetic body to share your lungs with your best friend

major upside of having a functional smartwatch again: physical button controls for music. finally I can turn off the touchpad on my headphones which was always pausing or skipping songs if I did so much as adjust my hair, that was such a downgrade

It’s been getting hot

is that thunder overhead or am I hearing things

cleaning up recruiter emails show how my data gradually drifts further from my career. a couple years ago it was like "would you relocate to Wisconsin for a data entry job?" no thanks, but I see connection. now it's "delivery driver gig in the bay area!" like dude what? I've never even had a license

started moving off Google years ago but they're getting so much worse with AI crap recently it has pushed me to move faster. I had 3 gmails and SO many files, a huge pain to migrate, yet I'm on track to leave their ecosystem this summer. Microsoft is trickier/required for my job but they're up next

Why not kick off Pride by reading my comic Dark Science? It's about cyborg lesbians solving cosmic mysteries and destroying capitalism! dresdencodak.com

woke up to loud power tool noises and by the time I got to the front door my bike was gone :( it had been double locked right in front of my place at the top of the steps

my roommate remarked how she already likes living with me because i bring a willingness to solve problems (minor little household annoyances) that she otherwise ignores so i would just like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that you can in fact just do things. do not accept discomfort.

doing a lot of home improvement projects this holiday weekend which are mostly meant to hide things away (running a cable through a wall, installing new network stuff) but I'm pretty pleased with the look of this one: new magnetic knife bar

Kikuri x Seika doodlin couse why not

In addition to railing against AI, I also get to rail in favor of learning search query skills

I said "this looks like if Wario made a Snapchat clone" and gf said "Wario would get that surveillance state money. WAHHH! I'MMA GONNA WORK WITH PALANTIR!"

my laptop's display drivers have gone from being unable to connect to other displays through the dock, to unable to use a direct HDMI cable, to unable to cast the screen, and now I can't even adjust brightness on the screen. so I should probably get off Win11 before it just goes blank one day

gf has been on a mission to get so good at making burgers at home that we'll no longer be tempted to buy them at the place down the block. she's succeeding, which is great news for me, but today she made 9 patties and I had to tap out after 4. suffering from success dot jpg

where should we stop during Art-A-Whirl on Saturday??

forecast finally has zero days below 40. I'm putting away shovel and boots, so y'all know who to blame when we get the surprise ice storm

new TV has 3 HDMI ports but we're already rotating 5-6 devices. I could get an HDMI switch but those seem strictly worse than just getting a new receiver...the tradeoff being if I got a new receiver, the soundbar is out, I'd need new speakers. so I guess we just keep plugging/unplugging for now

things that would be gender-affirming to me in ways I don't know how to explain to cis people: - red eyes - ahoge - fangs - split tongue

sorely tempted to get cosmetic dentistry for Gender Affirming Fangs but when I brought it up at a second consecutive dentist appt she gave me an exasperated look and said "you already HAVE fangs!" insisting that going any larger would cause Problems
