@pettancow Both, but especially the Scotch-taped Amy Squirrel; and you're right.

Computer screen photography tip: 

Put a giant black panel or posterboard in your lap while sitting in front of it, or rig one to hang from your neck or shoulders while standing in front of it, to minimize reflections.

Perk: If you can cover your face as well (& still see through it), it's a half decent privacy screen as well.

It's okay if you failed today. You can try again tomorrow.

@azushark My favorites are the ones that promise to recover all the money lost in scams like this, that are literally just the same scam with different words.

lewd?, link to lots of nsfw 

I love the "horny people are X" toots @beth bot is doing.

Have you ever been up all night tearing your house apart, looking for just one little thing that you know for certain you've hung on to for literally half your life? I can now say I have, unsuccessfully at that, & my body's going to pay for it tomorrow. (Oh crap, it *is* tomorrow!)

social media promotion advice 

@anthracite One thing I learned is that "next best" in advertising winds up meaning "worst" every single time.

As queer programmers, it is your civic duty to install positiveSelfTalk.exe into all your android friends.

If you need the tar.gz, DM me.

@colon_three My brain has the same stop code. Seriously, the omen that portents is usually one of a very busy day ahead. :/

retrocomputing 

Also, I learned the hard way that even though the 5150, XT, AT, & pre-PS/2 IBM clones all have physically compatible keyboard sockets (5-pin DIN, just like MIDI sockets), the 5150 & XT use an incompatible protocol, so AT-style keyboards won't work unless they have an XT-mode switch.
