"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

System is still out of balance. I'm trying to think if there is anything I can do about it, but it's not so easy from this position.

There was a time when I believed, very naively, that explaining the reality of things would make people change their minds. After all, that's how it worked for me. I got radicalized by learning truths, really quite uncontroversial ones, about world history and current events.

Seems like Erin is hiding away today. She got upset about a few things that happened yesterday, and said it would be safest to avoid interacting with people for now. I'm sure she'll bounce back eventually, but that is the current situation.

Good morning! I dreamed that it was two days in the future. Or I guess one day, depending on when the dreaming happened. That's literally I remembered, that it was August 2

Idk if it'd be a good idea but I would be so tempted to ask them for extensive help with how to write an email.

“Please send us emails instead” means “we can put key words from your script on our corporate spam filter and ignore you, but calls shut down our entire contact infrastructure” Keep fucking calling.

I was heartbroken to find out doofus is a slur against deaf people. That was my go to for a long time. Thankfully, dork still just means whale penis.

(Yep, dumb is ableist. So is stupid. And crazy, and lame, and idiot, and especially moron, FFS. Do. Better.)

(PS: lateral ableism includes using derogatory language on other people, particularly insults against people with intellectual disabilities. You don’t get to run around calling people “dumb” because you have ADHD or degenerative disc disease. Just stop already.)

My achievement is that I dropped out of university after finishing my master thesis, but before obtaining my degree. I really decided to fail right at the finishing line lmao

If your analysis of political economics uses "faith" as a major component, I am not gonna take you seriously. Fundamentally, it all boils down to power, and the way resources and money is moved around.

Sorry, did I get the debt numbers mixed up? Oh well, just imagine my example was a government debt of a fantasillion yen, it doesn't change the point at all

Oh god, neoliberal economics in my mentions

Reminder that government debt is fake and should not, in fact, be paid off.

Imagine if homes here weren't designed to absorb as much sun as possible... The temperature outside isn't as bad as yesterday, this building has been cooking in direct sunlight during this heatwave so the inside is unbearably hot

Good morning. It's way too hot today. What do you mean imwe start at 26 heckin' Celsius?

I'm asexual, but the recent wave of porn games being banned from steam kinda makes me wanna make a horny game out of spite. I'd be terrible at it though. Well, I guess I'd ask Erin to direct it.

It's going to be 29°C today? That's not okay. I'm gonna literally melt 😭

People are sharing their stories of when their egg cracked, and I might as well. Though honestly, I'm not sure when it happened. I feel like it was a very gradual process. It definitely happened after I moved out of my parents home at 19. That's when I got the space to actually think about stuff
