I love the "Hide user from channel" button on youtube comments. it's perfect. they can scream into the void all they want none the wiser and no one else ever has to look at it.

very happy to see that the oot remake sticks to its localized title in the german version

been building a local music library lately to be able to quit using spotify and I'm happy to report that I finally figured out how to get jellyfin to stop picking this picture of All Time Low as the primary image of my entire collection LOL

so my surgeon has a discord for his past patients (very helpful btw!), and occasionally I'll recognize one of the same profiles posting here and don't have anything to do with that info but think to myself, "huh, neat."

Happy 6/7 to all who celebrate

I think using like 10 different crowded public women's rooms on a road trip last month has officially cured me of thinking I need to wear makeup or anything to pass, thank god. 🙏 no more putting on a full face of makeup to just, like, get groceries or something.

so they actually did fix this (yay!), but now discord has a bug where if you leave it running for a bit less than a day, it starts blocking any and all new programs from starting until you restart the client. literally how is this not caught by QA lol, "move fast a break things" is a scourge

the plant claims another 😔

just got a new kindle to replace my last one that stopped working and after unpackaging it I immediately dropped it on the ground lmfao

I'm kind of torn between wanting to stop using gmail as my primary email and my password manager telling me I have 281 accounts using that email lol 🙃

what on earth is going on over at linkedin?

what even is the point of paying for plex? lmao, like I've been running a jellyfin server since last year and it does literally everything I used to do with plex but without a whole bunch of extra junk I could never figure out the purpose of to scroll past.

I made sweet tea, does anyone want some?

I was telling a younger friend yesterday about the dark days after cassette players in cars but before aux ports where all we had were cd players and those horrible radio transmitter things, and I think it might be the oldest I've ever felt in my life.

why

went to a waterpark with friends yesterday, which was the first time in ~4 years I've gone swimming! when my surgeon cleared me for everything at my 3 month appt., he told me to go live my life, and I'm finally realizing I'm at a point where I can truly just do that with no restrictions. :)

possibly the greatest thing about being aroace is not having to use The Apps. the whole experience seems like absolute hell and always getting worse lmao

life hack: if you put off going to the grocery store for long enough, when you finally do go, having food again becomes incredibly exciting!

ngl it's really funny looking at a few algorithmic feeds here and seeing everyone arguing about bluesky vs twitter, then switching to my mutuals feed and everyone is just talking about speedrunning, video games, and whatever else they've got going on. two completely different worlds lol.

okay but why did they cast someone with a striking resemblance to Carrie Fisher for a character named "Kleya" who's secretly part of the rebels? it took me until season 2 before I realized they weren't saying Leia lmao

cat that has decided to ignore gravity:

having my own discord server and somewhat of an ego is kinda wild because when I post something there it's like okay, we are now going to talk about the reason we're all here: ✨me✨ - and like yes, that is in fact more or less why everyone is there

went climbing for the first time yesterday 🙂

just finished Andor season 1 and like, yeah if star wars was always this good I might actually consider myself a star wars fan.

it's been over 7 months now and I still do this regularly. the feeling has not worn off. 🥲

wtf do you mean yuri on ice is about gay men and not lesbians??

Tip: NEVER use a random number. A non deterministic "solution" is unworthy of the divine touch of a turing machine

oh also, I burned a bootable CD that would run a rainbow table attack to find windows xp passwords and ran in on my parents' PC while they were asleep. it worked so quickly I thought it gave me a fake password at first. and that's how I internalized just how important having a secure password is 😅

as a kid my parents installed software to limit my daily computer usage. I found that I could still use win+r and run "explorer.exe" to bring the OS back after it killed everything and never got caught. kids are always gonna find ways around this stuff lol.

I still don't really understand what steam trading cards are, but every couple years I can go through all the ones I somehow have and sell them at market value for enough to buy a new game, so tbh I'm not complaining.

Some areas in Paper Mario feature a rim lighting effect that is achieved in a manner that is extremely simple for the surprisingly effective results it produces, being simply shifting around a shadow copy of the sprite.

Under Idaho state law a trans person would now face less of a penalty for peeing on the steps of the state capitol than using the "wrong" bathroom

it's so cool how ISPs like to remove random useful options from their routers for no reason whatsoever

seems like a good change, but I've always found it interesting how on windows you have to bend over backwards to prevent updates from happening, and meanwhile on linux you have to type your password and give explicit permission to allow updates to happen

Players of Paper Mario are made to believe that Kooper has a bandage on his cheek as part of his character design. This features heavily in fan depictions of him. As it turns out, the bandage was never supposed to be permanent and this is a case of artwork being removed from its intended context.

Sunday Speedrunner Spotlight Episode 167 Guest: @jcog.dev youtu.be/Ep7JtGUCQZE

I watched the Invincible season 4 finale and I don't want to spoil anything, but everything is just handled so emotionally maturely? like there were multiple moments where they were leading toward a trope where I'm like, omg please don't do that, and then they just didn't?? honestly very refreshing.

after about a year-long break, rollo has decided to return to her "wires look delicious" phase 😞

yeah there's a reason I usually say like, "I got bottom surgery and have a vagina now." calling it "trans healthcare" or something as a general term would feel much less patronizing to me, but it's so low priority it kind of feels like a lost cause at this point.

the fact that the bluesky tech advisor that blocked half the site is also the only staff person that annoyed me enough to bother unfollowing is very funny to me

my new profile banner is a banger btw

it's very rude of my computer to not know that the window I'm staring at should be the one in focus when I start typing

Unhappy to report the phishing one is quickly becoming a real problem now. Why go to the trouble of social engineering when people will just give up their ID, financial info, biometrics, etc. to an AV portal? There's no standards so how can you differentiate a fake one from a real one?

Previously, I have posted about an unused partner in Paper Mario known only as "Ninji Boy", with the only information about him being that he can "lower the block". A newly translated developer interview confirms that he was cut and that director Kawade really regrets not having him.

heat sinks are such a funny technology. like some random engineer was like "what if I squeeze a block of metal fins against this cpu really tight and blow air at it?" and then it worked.

We're in the clear! Thanks to overwhelming support, we can now once again pay for server costs, plus build an additional buffer for the future! As a token of thanks to therun's supporters, I made changes to the supporter perks. You can now fully customize how your name is displayed on the site!
