Oh interesting!

This thread will give you smiles in a dark world

I can't use my eyes good right now so I'm listening to podcasts. I hate podcasts. Maybe some music, I think. Maybe it's a good time to listen to Hadestown finally. Oh. Hahaha no. I'm so bored.

Trying to motivate to head down to Baltimore Node tonight for Open Hack. The drive into the city is always daunting and I don't wanna drive but I do like making it to a "local" hackerspace from time to time. For a certain definition of local.

Please note: Unattended children will be given Linux.

Dumb thing that has been confusing me lately in mtg discourse: UB = Universes Beyond UB = Blue Black

AI and LLMs are a drug and the first hit is free. As soon as we become dependent on them to do everything for us the subscription models fall into place and we are screwed. Right now every LLM company is pushing so hard for us to integrate them into our lives and workflow. The shoe drops later.

There is a long form piece I want to write about public facing volunteers and attrition rate due to the stripping of context from social situations that then requires volunteers to engage in exhausting rehabilitative social work rather than fulfilling their actual initial sense of purpose.

I'm particularly pleased with my Finch's Wonderland fit so I'm posting it to my bluesky. Enjoy adorable birb and tiny sheep companion even if you have no idea what this is.

My ADHD is killing me as a TA. "okay let's connect to the switch" Cable is fetched but sits on table and I don't notice. Why can't we ssh? It's a mystery!

I am too tired to be fighting with 3D printer firmware but I'm doing it anyway. I'm really glad I didn't try to drive to Baltimore tonight. As an aside, if you're knowledgeable about Professional mrisoc FW and how it works with a CRTouch, and want to help, please @ me. I failed at it today.

I was going to hit up Baltimore Node's Open Hack tonight but after staying up really late last night for reasons I think I'm just going to rest and hack at home instead of driving an hour into the city. Maybe next week 🤷

always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

Just submitted a support ticket to @discord.com about what a terrible idea this new age verification policy is. Don't know if it will help or change anything but companies really need to stop asking us to trust them with our identities and data. They do not deserve our trust.

Sometimes I think the truth is that the only way to walk away from Omelas is death. There is no country on earth that doesn't have a child in a basement. And short of the tundra there is no place in nature it is legal to actually live. Homelessness is illegal so you just end up in jail.

So Noam Chomsky was apparently also at least aquaintances with Epstein, though I don't think there is evidence he was involved in the seedier parts of things. Is there anybody this guy didn't know?

I post this every Martin Luther King day. White people need to read it. Most of us are familiar with "I have a dream..." but this is about activism. It's about when activism is appropriate and why it can't be convenient. It is timeless and timely. www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen...

I should read or watch the hockey romance. I like both of those things.

I know plenty have folks have shared it but in case you missed it, Discord is asking for user opinions on adding AI to the platform. Give em hell and tell them precisely how you feel about it. Including the intent to leave if it's added in. discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

I was just showing off my collection of Hex Bugs because I'm a dork who likes little robot bugs and I realized I've never once thought how funny it is that I collect Hex Bugs AND have a friend named Hex who loves bugs.

I see my city's Mayor all the time all over town. She's pretty groovy!

As a cybersecurity person I can come up with all sorts of reasons Grindr goes down at major MAGA events but the fact that it happens at pretty much all of them means either the hackers are *really* dedicated or there's actually fire where there's smoke.

I just want to say that, despite the fact that I currently have the flu, I am very much enjoying the winter and dreading the return of summer, the season of hotness when everyone thinks it's a good time to be outside while I die.

Hey it’s time to take Rare Exports out of the freezer.

Why did you transition, wrong answers only. Dating was just too easy as a cis person. I wanted to do it on extra hard mode to see if I could get the top secret ending.

Right wing voters aren't going to care about the CECOT clip. They think all poc are criminals already and deserve this kind of treatment. They are horrible people. I don't know why we keep pretending that anything is going to reach them.

Hear me out: Congress should be like jury duty. Random people get a summons. Boom you're in Congress for a term. So much less corruption.

Made a new hat. I'm really fond of this one because even though this part doesn't photograph and it kind of looks like TV static the hat is super soft warm alpaca from a small farm. Like if I could find the label I think it has the Alpaca's name on it.

I just want to show y'all the SUPER HARDCORE metal Cinnamoroll Hoodie I just got from hot topic. Yes this is product placement I guess. Look how HARDCORE I am. So metal. 🤘

ttrpg design evolution has been weird, it's like 40 years of calculating armour values with logarithmic equations, and then in 2010 vincent baker gave everyone permission to fuck

I was hoping I was a train but I'm going to have to fall back on my second dream of dinosaur I guess.

I'm a creative person with a lot to offer the arts and humanities. I have two degrees in Psychology and Linguistics. I have abandoned them for STEM because I need to make a living. I don't know if this is what society deserves but it's what it gets.

The only discussion about "body count" I am interested in is the comedy skit where everyone else in the conversation is talking about sex but one person thinks they're all talking about murder and is doing their best to figure out the right number to say to fit in with all the serial killers.

I think I unironically love bbno$. He's smart. He's camp. His music is fun. Hey I'll take joy where I can get it.

@cmccullough.bsky.social I don't know how you found me but hell yes to public transit! Also yay Linux!

Me and my Pixel 7 Pro are the problem. I, personally, am destroying the economy.

Hey everyone! These tech zines are awesome and there's a great sale coming up! I really like "The Secret Rules of the Terminal" but the bite size series and the DNS zine are also really great. I mean they're all great honestly. You should order some as gifts or for yourself.

Never a bad time to post this video.

There needs to be more resources for normal poor people when they find out someone they know is about to become homeless because wtf are we supposed to do about it? This keeps happening to me and there's nothing I can do.

Angel tree discourse sends me. As a former angel tree recipient who was supposed to be sooo grateful for the cheap crap my kids got. My kids asked for Converse and got cheap canvas shoes from Walmart. Message fucking received. Poor people don't deserve better. Thanks also for dollar store socks. 🖕

"You can't expect us to understand and adjust to this trans stuff it's all so new!" No it's not the Nazis literally burned research on it so people wouldn't know about it. The US is suppressing information about our existence. People have been purposely erasing us for centuries. We are not new.

I am not inspired despite the odds. I do not have some magical hope to offer. It's #TransDayofRemembrance and I remember how trans people are constantly thrown under the bus as political bargaining chips. I remember how this literally just happened again. I remember how long they've been erasing us.

News news news oh they've done something bad RICH PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY it's just something for us poors to talk about. I'm so tired.

The erasure of trans men continues to somehow be misogyny and it's infuriating.

Sometimes I just want to take a Virtual Box and shake it like an etch-a-sketch. Like seriously what the hell happened to your ipv4 address today? Oh it's just gone now? Ok. Maybe I can shake it out.

These are not the bestagons :(

What would you do with one stick of 8g of RAM? I just pulled it from a mini PC to replace it with two 16g sticks and honestly I am not going to use it ever 🤷

The completed 3D printed case for the OctoPi with camera!

Here's what I did yesterday. medium.com/@jamie.omarr...
