husky just did some shit i guess 

so husky just removed the warning system i was talking about yesterday? uploaded images say "tusky" instead now "to prevent harassment of our users"

hmmmm

on the bright side, they actually restored their gab block?????? but uh, they removed spinster from the blocklist and replaced it with *checks notes* a bunch of completely normal instances including octodon and hellsite, which they describe as "worse than gab by any means"

also if you look at the post im replying to, they linked the commit where they did that as "a commit proof for sjw shitheads"

yeaaaaah. don't use husky :blobcattilt:

Apple/Epic bs 

Many have remarked on how this is two giant corporations fighting over their ability to make money, but consider this:
How much you wanna bet that they'll settle out of court in a way that changes almost nothing? I can guarantee you that if Apple thinks they're gonna lose this suit, they'll happily offer Epic the ability to bypass Apple's payment stuff and Epic will eagerly drop the suit, showing just how little this was about "freedoms" or whatever.

re: mh and it is - 

I'm feeling better today, though I think I'm still on that borderline between hypomania and mania. Still, it's not as bad as it was yesterday.

No, I'm pretty sure I'm straight up manic and I think I know why. I ran out of lithium the other day, but have still been taking my antidepressant, and I think it just now got bad. I really need to get in to a fucking psychiatrist to get my meds sorted out, because this shit straight up sucks. Like, hypomania is alright but this straight up sucks ass.

mh + but actually -, insurance woes 

Granted, I wasn't using insurance for the psychiatrist because she was with my uni and was way cheaper than my insurance copay, but still. Hell, I'm curious if my doctor still has my old referral lying around (because I was referred to a psychiatrist before I started seeing the one at my uni).

mh + but actually -, insurance woes 

I really need to get in to a psychiatrist to get properly diagnosed bipolar and get my meds adjusted accordingly, but I can't do that until I get in to my primary care doctor to get a referral to a psychiatrist even though I'm on multiple psychiatric meds (that my insurance is covering) and I've been seeing a psychiatrist for the past year. (Hell, I was in partial hospitalization and my insurance covered that! They should know!)

mh + but actually - 

I seem to be in a (hypo)manic episode. For the first time in a while, I've noticed how bad it is and it's actually been bothering me. Like, I cannot stop. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a manic episode w/o psychosis.

Bitchin' 'bout capitalism 

Saw a commercial earlier about "smash gender roles" with some girl playing football and, like, great. You think women should actually be treated like humans and not be judged for their """masculine""" hobbies. Great. Thanks for finally joining the fucking bandwagon. Honestly, come fucking see me when you wanna say it's okay for a guy to wear a dress. Then I'll believe you when you say "smash gender roles". Til then, fuck off with your """woke""" advertising.

A quick apology to those who use screen readers for the last few posts. As far as I'm aware, most screen readers can't read runes, so my apologies for those.

To translate my last toot:
"HAHA! I have my runic keyboard again!"

There it is in the Ibus configuration:

language hot take 

This reminds me that I should:
A) write a blog post on a proposed system for modernizing Anglo-Saxon runes, and
B) get around to releasing the Ibus-table file I made for Anglo-Saxon runes (as well as reinstalling it on my system)

(And/or, optionally C: rewrite that file as a .mim file instead of using an IME meant for a Chinese-like language)

If you're gonna propose writing english with runes, for fuck's sake, at least use the anglo-saxon runes. They're more fit for purpose on the basis of being, well, part of the english lineage.

Technology quote of the day:
"Every machine is a smoke machine if you operate it wrong enough."

A lot of my life, I've been called up for tech support. When I was in sixth grade (circa 2011), a teacher asked me for help downloading a song off youtube for a graduation slide show. Trivial now, but I didn't know how at the time, leading to a process that took a good few days. However, in the process, I had to listen to that song a lot.

So, fun Kat fact of the day: Almost a decade later, I *still* have the lyrics to the Facts of Life theme song burned into my memory.

Save me from this curse.

Mildly cursed thought for the day: ice is just congealed water

Epic Games bad 

Epic Games got Fortnite removed from the Apple *and* Google App Stores because they didn't want to pay ANY royalties on ANY of their microtransactions to ANYONE. (They'd much rather funnel ALL American wealth to China.)

But they also didn't put Fortnite up on F-Droid or as a downloadable APK from their website, afaik. Google doesn't require you to jailbreak your phone to get out of their walled garden, perfectly viable alternatives exist.

Epic Games shames Linux users for not being willing to fight the Windows ecosystem "from within" by using their Epic Launcher instead of the Windows 10 Store,

While also not allowing developers whose games were ALREADY ported to run natively on Linux (ex. Rocket League) to continue developing and releasing that game for Linux at all.

In other words, everything they do is a massive frustrating hypocrisy. 😒 And they successfully foolin' people with it, somehow. Grrr....
