Friendly reminder that as much as the normal crowd will shame you for weird hobbies, they do absolutely nothing to make themselves any more approachable, likable, or safer to be around.

Average fedi timeline:

Cat girl: meow meow meow!

FOSS guy: lol I fucked up a tool chain

Trans cat girl: Meow meow meow!

that one person on the timeline: HERE'S WHAT I'M PISSED ABOUT

Trans cat girl who is also a FOSS person: nyaaaaa

Polish old man: Każdego ranka budzę się i, cholera, te kotki. Zawsze miauczą i proszą o kolację. Ten hałas sprawia mi ból, ale dźwięk ich łap biegających po podłodze nadal rozgrzewa moje serce

A user called Aldanimarki designed these, which say "I love chokky milk" in Arabic, kind of as a way to make a point about how westerners see their language as sinister.

I have to tell him that, because he refused to give his CC info to the "subscription cancellation" phone number he called (fake tech support scammers) *after* he let them into his PC, they nuked his files and programs on top of locking out his account with the password hint "call".

Please stress to them that if they let someone they don't know and you haven't vetted connect to their PC, it's already game over.

Folks, if you have any computer-illiterate friends and relatives you're on good terms with, please educate them about fake invoice emails.

The owner of one of my tech support patients tried to reverse a (nonexistent) $400 support subscription charge by calling the 1-800 number on a (fake) Geek Squad invoice.

part of my long-held "it's us or them" stance re: the online ad industry is that ultimately all speech will become, in the name of corporate comfort, as anodyne and contentless and unchallenging to power as advertising itself, if they continue to control the web.

Every time I think I should give in and finally make a GitHub account, they do something that reminds me why they're either bullshit, batshit, or both.

Today, it's going all in on the computer pseudoscience quackery du jour, "AI" that's only artificial, not intelligent.

Fixing parents' PC because after 20-odd years of virtually every HDD coming with SMART on board & virtually every BIOS coming SMART-enabled, Microsoft Windows still doesn't have a SMART monitor/notifier built in. That's right, it's time for slow & painful data rescue, racing against imminent hardware failure. :blobcatoh:
