On of the most perplexing sad things are people who are not CEOs and don't own any companies, who are celebrating artists being replaced with GenAI slop. Even if they don't care about other people, you'd think they should at least care that the media they consume will get shittified?

When I was a kid in middle school, the internet was my only source of meaningful social interaction. The current trend of attempting to restrict kids' access to the internet is terrifying. Like yeah, children's safety is important. But you know what's *not* safe? Being completely isolated

You know when you go "when people say X it:s kinda ridiculous" and you get a bunch of people telling you it isn't ridiculous because X actually means Y and they all have different explanations as to what Y stands for but they're somehow in agreement that you're kinda silly for not getting it

Is Pokemon Nintendo's Call of Duty?

more to the point imo, purposefully isolating youth & cutting them off from the vital safety of support systems that can build is flatly abusive. it's all but openly about preventing kids from finding out what is being done to them by authority figures in their lives is wrong and violent

It's kinda impossible to discuss censorship if you don't recognize that "should this be legal", "should this be profitable", and "is it acceptable for an online store to decide not to let you sell it through them" are all different questions.

Genuinely confused about people claiming the AI bubble won't pop. I get being in denial about there being a bubble in the first place, even if it's obvious, but if you agree there *is* a bubble but you're certain it won't pop: how would that even work? Bubbles pop, that's why we call them bubbles

I've seen claims like "over 50% of internet users are bots, so chances are the person you're interacting with isn't real" and... No, come on, that's not how it works. I mean, even if 90% of internet users are bots, that doesn't mean there is a 90% chance the person you're interacting with is a bot.

Shoulder hurts. I guess today is a let-body-rest day

Some say it doesn't matter what game engine you make your game in. I'll be inclined to agree if I come across a game using UE5 that doesn't crash on startup for me

Didn't understand what's making all this noise outside at 2:30 am, but I looked outside and there is plowing going in. Very inconsiderate of the first snow to fall in the middle of night like this

I usually share a new Palestinian account every day but today I am going to do a thread of people I’ve already verified impacted by the recent flooding in Gaza. If you can help any of these families- many who lost everything again- please do. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/14/m...

Good morning I had a dream that the king died, and I was trying my best not to make jokes about it because the people around me were upset about it for some reason

AI bros love comparing "AI art" to the invention of cameras, but photographers don't pretend they're painting so the comparison falls flat in the doorway. Turns out when you have actual creative skills you don't need to compare your work to an entirely different thing in order to justify it's value

I feel like allo folks often don't appreciate the difference between "I don't have sex with people I don't know" and "I don't feel sexually attracted to people I don't know". These are very different statements. And if you can't see that, well, figuring it out is your homework until next time.

I think I accidentally borked our PC by trying to unable Wayland. Let's hope I am able to unbork it

Playing Baten Kaitos again. It's been a long time, almost two decades, and I'd totally forgotten (spoiler alert) about the whole thing with the protagonist for the first half of the game deceiving everyone (including the player) and revealing himself a villain.

We colored our hair again. It's pink, or violet depending on the light.

The word "smorgasbord" is such a funny loan word to me. In Swedish the word (smörgåsbord) just means a buffet of sandwiches. It's an ordinary yet not that often used word. But English took it and turned it into a *metaphor*. And it's used way more often in English, since it's a much broader term.

"AI is here to stay" I mean, if you mean that the technology won't be erased from existence, sure. But all the stuff that's dependent on tech companies setting fantastical amounts of money (and the planet) on fire? You sure that's going to be around forever? Based on what?

Apparently its my birthday today. Level 35! I'm probably supposed to feel old but I mostly feel that numbers don't make sense

No matter how badly you fuck up, if you're in any position if power or authority, there will be people defending you on the principle that those who make decisions should not be inconvenienced, and those who are affected should not make a fuss about it.

I think my least favorite thing about Linux is how sometimes something just fills out all available disk space, and figuring out what it is gets really hard because performance tanks when there is no free space

Thought our caffeine tolerance had increased suddenly. Yesterday we realized we had taken lower than normal dose of our ADHD meds, so that could explain it

I love how AI bros keep going back and forth between "AI let's anyone easily do stuff" to "you're prompting it wrong, you clearly don't have the MAD SKILLZ required to use this tool!" Is it easy or hard?? You can't have both!

A funny trans mood: screaming from being startled by a sudden loud noise, then being low-key pleased that my startled scream sounds pretty feminine.

More loud drilling today. Lovely.

I would probably pick up go again if any queer friends were into it. I just kinda lost interest because of it being so tied to my pre-transition social life. Plus I kinda lost my competitiveness when I transitioned, and lost my cognitive functioning when burnout happened

I had another dream about going to Korea to participate in an international go tournament. I haven't played the game for years but I keep having these dreams.

Loud drilling noises are still happening 😖

Science question: is it possible to have an object on earth, that's heavy enough that you could actually feel or notice effects of it's gravity on other objects? Like your balance would be off if you try to stand on one leg next to it, or a very smooth marble would roll towards it?

They're finally fixing the elevator, which is great, but it's so loud. My ears are crying

once again trying to figure out how to type the reverse "/" on my compressed Swedish keyboard. Allegedly it's supposed to be "Alt +", but that produces the "|"

I have a hard time reacting to news of "trans people being declared mentally ill" because... On one hand, yeah that's bad. Calling transness an illness is bad. But on the other, the way people talk about it feels like everyone are just accepting that mentally ill people are to be oppressed.

Is this a bad time to admit to being a mentally ill transfem?

I dreamed that I was about to play chess with a computer program. It had a beginner setting, so I selected that because I can't play chess. Then I remember that if I'm gonna play some traditional board game, I'd rather play go.

The humidity is about 65%, and I think that might be the highest I ever seen here. Makes it feel much hotter than it actually is

Good morning. I just had a non-euclidian dream. I found some treasure chests at a beach, and one of them was almost empty except for another treasure chest at the bottom. But they were all the exact same size, somehow. I can't make sense of it now, but I guess I was dreaming in four dimensions

Good morning. We were dreaming with Fran again. She was fighting some weak but immortal monster, but it fled.

Trying to understand how to use the Dialogic plugin for Godot. It's a useful tool for sure, but the documentation is lacking.

Kinda scary how quick some people were to outsource all their thinking to ChatGPT.

It is once again that time of the month where you can help me sleep at night by giving me a few bucks 💜 ko-fi.com/jessjev

Sweden supporting this is extremely unsurprising. I hate this country

To every EU citizen, if you haven't heard of the chat control proposal, then its about time to pay attention. If you care about the current state of censorship, you must also care about the invasion of your privacy - one that your politicians are exempt from with this proposal. fightchatcontrol.eu

Waking up at 4am because of nightmares 😔

I had to go to the grocery store around the corner, and once again got heckled by literal kids for wearing a mask. I should be able to handle this without feeling ill will towards a kid... Even if these kids are on track to grow up to be the worst kind of adults

As someone who has been in near complete isolation since the pandemic began, this hits real close to home I saw almost everyone I knew, everyone I thought cared to do the right thing, give up on simple precautions to keep people safe Now I don't feel safe around anyone We got left behind 😞

Z-index chaos
