@quirk Don't have anyone else to use the computer of. rn, I'm experimenting with hiding VM status. I've found some stuff on hiding from programs that they're running in VMWare, so we'll see if that pans out.

@quirk Not an option. It's specifically designed to reject running in a virtual machine.

Oh, goodie goodie. I'm *required* to use LockDown Browser to take quizzes for my chem class. Now, this would be bad enough on its own (it's a horribly invasive and perfectly useless piece of software), but I can't even install the damn thing! No matter how many times I try redownloading, I always get the same error. And this is before the issues I've heard others have had with getting it to work under Wine. If anyone has suggestions, let me know before midnight, would ya?
Meta about Aprilfools Jokes
Hey federation folks, it's been a rough year and it's only April. Some levity is just what we need and is encouraged! 🤡
Some things to keep in mind:
*Tag jokes so it's clear it's a joke, sarcasm does not translate well online. A punchline is not worth punching down. #AprilFools #Joke
*Please be sensitive about the content of your joke, not everyone is able to laugh in the face of adversity
*When in doubt #BeKind
-Thank you
emoji ramblings
My one pet peeve with emoji is that there's no good replacement for :P. Like, I use :P as a, like, ugh emoticon, but there's no "ugh" tongue sticky outy emoji. All the tongue sticky outy emoji are, like, cheeky tongue sticky outy, not ugh tongue sticky outy.
Compounding my frustration is the fact that discord on the desktop autocorrects :P to 😛 (or used to, anyways).
Also compounding my frustration is that apparently some emoji sets do have a proper :P.
:P
So, yeah. Look forward to all that if I ever get around to finishing my website. Maybe that's something I should work on while stuck at home...
Finally, La Loba Luchanda, a lupine luchadora I designed as a kinda rival for The Vulpine Nightmare. Her description's ending?
"You'll need to be tough and strong if you hope to avoid getting mauled by la loba."
There's also The Emerald Blaze, my headmate Jade's character. Here's the end of her description:
"If you can wear her down, she may stay down, but you'll need to be quick to do so and be tough enough to withstand the blaze."
So, The Vulpine Nightmare is my main character, and I apparently really had fun writing her little description. Here's how that ends:
"Overall, if you've got the speed to beat her to the punch, she might be an easy opponent, but that's a big if, and if you don't, you'll see why they call her the **nightmare**."
So, you may remember me talking about my little tabletop game Headlock a couple times before. Perhaps you've even looked at the current rules. Well, a while back, I started writing a v2 for a website I hope to eventually finish putting together. I just went and read through those and, well, let's just say I went and had some fun describing my characters. What will follow are the absolute highlights* of those (three) descriptions.
*The ends, basically.
acnh, question
@wolfpede@snouts.online I've not played ACNH, but if it's anything like the rest of the games, it takes time. iirc, it takes at least 3 days for trees to grow, but I've not done any tree planting in a while, so I'm not sure exactly how long it takes. But just give it a few days. It takes a good bit for trees to grow

"Did that chair move on its own or did I move it for some reason and forget?"
"I heard something in the kitchen it's probably because the pots in my cabinets are stacked according to which one came out of the dishwasher last"
"I just heard a voice in my ear am I crazy or is it too quiet and I'm under stimulated"
@monorail I had the same thing happen to me, but instead of a YouTube video it was the first day of an introductory class on partial differential equations. Let's just say I'm dropping that class for a reason...
