re: religion (Christianity) and hate
(Also, yes, I own one of those books. I've actually read it cover to cover if only once, and it's very literally torn apart from decades of use as intended.)
religion (Christianity) and hate
After you read those, ask yourself why that bitter, spiteful, auto-excommunicated bully leading your church knows the Holy Bible less than a damned pagan trans girl at peace.
Quit mistaking hate for righteousness. Love *all* your neighbors, including your queer fellow Christians.
Quit mistaking vengeance for justice. We're not a threat to care and love.
Start being a neighbor to those among you who need one. We always have been and will be your neighbors.

Today's reading list for so-called Christians:
Lev. 19:18
Luke 10:25-37

robotgirl who used to be a combat bot and is now at peace and trying to heal. it’s made more complicated by her chassis having chaff/flare launchers designed to protect her from incoming missiles, but it’s hard wired to her fight or flight response, so they go off whenever she’s startled or overwhelmed
she caused a small fire the first time her partner said that they loved her, when she instinctively launched flares inside her apartment.
after that she took the flares themselves out, but couldn’t take our the launchers or the hardwired connection to her main cpu, so now whenever she’s startled or overwhelmed, the launcher doors on her back open and emit a bunch of clicking sounds as it tries to launch flares that are no longer there because they’re no longer needed.
Great response here from Quakers in Britain when they received an anti-trans letter about their trans-inclusive bathroom policy: https://www.quaker.org.uk/documents/re-statement-of-policy-on-provision-of-trans-inclusive-facilities
Spreadsheets peaked 36 years ago with Lotus Improv, and it didn't need huge, water-hungry artificial cities of building-sized space heaters pretending to be intelligent to work.
Microsoft added AI-BS to Excel while warning it's BS. Amazing.
PC Gamer, "Microsoft launches Copilot AI function in Excel, but warns not to use it in 'any task requiring accuracy or reproducibility'": https://www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/microsoft-launches-copilot-ai-function-in-excel-but-warns-not-to-use-it-in-any-task-requiring-accuracy-or-reproducibility/

Microsoft also advises against using the feature for "financial reporting, legal documents, or other high-stakes scenarios," so basically most of the things people turn to Excel for.
My first computer didn't run a Microsoft OS (but it did have a customized dialect of Microsoft Basic in ROM).
My first Windows PC was a Toshiba T4600C, designed for Windows 3.1, but upgraded with an 8 MB RAM card, an 800 MB HDD, and Windows 95 from a 13-floppy set.
Happy 30th anniversary to the version of Windows that gave the world the Start Button and adopted a Rolling Stones hit as its theme song.
