Techbro stupidity (in the past) 

Hey, whatever happened to those dumbasses who wrote an AI to determine gender from name/email and then attempted to claim they were working on separating gender from name/email *while still selling their AI as a way to determine gender from name/email*? Did they actually just get laughed off the face of the earth or did we just forget about them while they're still doing their bullshit in the background?

a bit of context re: one more highlight from last night 

It wasn't just we all hate france. France had become the first thing we'd guess and that made for a *perfect* bit here, as three of us immediately went for the france joke

one more highlight from last night 

I'd say apologies to france, but I, for one, am completely unapologetic.

"A great name for a ANTI-social media site"

Both answers: twitter

religion and the holidays 

Ah, yes, christmas, that yearly festival in which I, a satanist, pretend to care about the supposed birthday of the supposed son of god in order to receive material goods. Wonderful.

Family, covid (-) 

Making this worse is that when my brother leaves my mom's going to visit my grandparents for a few days, then turning right around to visit some old friends, and I can guarantee no one's going to be taking the appropriate precautions. I'm gonna have to wear my P100 respirator for the next two weeks when she gets back. :blobunamused:

Family, covid (-) 

And mind you, my brother works pizza delivery and has been working through yesterday and my mom's a teacher who's barely been off work a week. Both of you dumbfucks need to be wearing a mask!!! I shouldn't be the only one following precautions!

Family, covid (-) 

Ya know, I'm glad my brother's home for Christmas, but for fuck's sake this family is gonna be the death of me. I am literally the only one wearing a mask or even remotely trying to keep a reasonable distance (in a reasonably large house, mind you, not just a tiny apartment). For fuck's sake, listen to the one of us who's going into medicine, you god damned idiots!

brb rebranding the philosophy of foss as "socialist software"

it's like foss except if you're a weird right wing techbro you're not allowed :dragnuwu:

It was my birthday today! 🎂 22 years ago, I was forced onto this wretched planet, and I've been here ever since (even if there have been times I've thought about changing that 😉). Anyways, if you'd like to throw me some money, here's my PayPal, though don't feel obliged to. There are folx out there who could use it more than me.

New user advice 

1. If you can, put pronouns in your bio, but if it would be unsafe to put what you'd want to and dysphoria-inducing to put something else, don't worry about it!
2. Tell us about yourself! Whether a post or in your bio, let us know who you are and what you're about!
3. Remember the platinum rule: do unto others as they want done unto themselves. If someone asks you not to do something, listen! (e.g. if they want a DM before sending a follow request, DM them first!)

FENIX dev update 

So, ofc, I've been working on the C library and core utilities. But the big exciting update is that we're close to protected mode and interrupts! It took a lot of fiddling with my code to get it to compile, but we've now got the GDT loaded and should be able to both switch to protected mode and get the IDT set up and loaded to allow us to, well, actually start doing stuff! But, that's for tomorrow. Right now, I'm sleepy fox.

DO NOT CALL THE GAME “CYBERPUNK” CALL THE GAME “CYBERPUNK 2077”

DO NOT ALLOW THIS GAME TO TAKE AWAY A SINGLE WORD, A CONCEPT THAT IS SO MUCH MORE, AND TURN IT INTO A PROPER NOUN.
