Oh nice, i think I finally fixed the thing that kept waking up my computer from sleep mode spontaneously. It was either my mouse or my second keyboard that i forgot to unplug 🤔

Babies don’t achieve legal personhood until they’re born
How is this something you have to explain to someone

Oh my godddddddddddd
I can’t believe I had to tell a client that I can’t make any decisions based on her baby because it’s not born yet
But she tried to claim life begins at conception blah blah blah blah
I don’t care about debating the ethics, but I just told her that the computer doesn’t recognise people’s birthdays if they’re in the future and that placated her
I mean, the Government doesn’t grant residency until birth, so I can’t make decisions for someone that doesn’t exist

Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.
This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable — and used.
If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kinda… nice?" — that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".
So #KeepFediWeird.

Me, an idiot: “So, kids, by setting the thermostat a little lower and eating less meat, we’re doing our part to make the world more sustainable”
VCs, very smart: “We just raised $100 billion dollars from the sovereign wealth funds of three petrostates to build the world’s largest AI supercomputer. It uses as much power and water as Guatemala and the primary use case is for management consultants to autogenerate powerpoints for justifying mass layoffs.”
I am driving myself insane by building electronic computer logic circuits and spending the time I'm not doing that by playing Arknights
This is made funnier by the fact that energy in Arknights is called "Sanity"

my new burger restaurant concept is inspired by modern software. the options for mayo are "yes" and "maybe later", and if you pick maybe later, the chef stands at your table with a squeezy bottle, threatening to add mayo to your burger when you least expect it

So many gaming sites writing about how “Bungie” released Marathon on Steam or it’s “now free”.
Frustrating to see people not doing basic checks. It was the Aleph One team, not Bungie, and it’s been free for years. It’s just now on Steam.

Got tired of sites not loading without enabling cookies. "Shut up, you don't need sessionStorage, you're literally just a static product page!!2!"
So I fixed it. Then wrote a post about it.
Here's the link in case you're curious

When using Microsoft Word or Google Docs, don't just make text bigger and bolder to make it a heading. That will work for sighted users, but screen reader users will miss that and just hear it as normal paragraph text. Use actual heading styles, like level 1 through 6.

I'm convinced that "AI" is just a buzzword on like 99% of the stuff it's on.

starting to draw a proper car - i did this first version in a really basic way so i thought it'd tank my performance, but it turns out it still stays at like 45+ fps on the device. not bad!
i'm very bad at lowpoly modeling so the car accidentally looks like an old-timey beater, but i think that's sorta funny so i'll probably try to keep that vibe
