2019 is the entire nation of Bulgaria being hacked
So the quiz on Windows misused "address space" to mean "address"? Asking how many address spaces kernel mode used, when it meant how many virtual addresses were available (trick question -- all code in kernel mode shares the same virtual address).
Who writes this stuff.

I feel like I've been disassociating for the past 2 days. Please just fucking stop.
Honestly though, I have stopped talking to these people, and they keep stalking me and barging into my life, complaining that I don't speak to them, even though the very way they are contacting me is triggering, and forces me to give them the attention I don't want to give them.
I just want it to stop.
But I can't because they're my family and other people in my life value unity over my mental or physical well-being.
The fun part about combining old-ass jazz with electronic music is that there is actually a lot of overlap in the 50s and 60s.
Nobody could figure out what to do with these new-fangled music-makin' machines, so they put them on bizarro concept albums and jazzy novelty records.
I'm working on two lounge playlists -- Hart Dvorak, for music that sounds like it's from a detective movie, and Lounge Lounge Beep, for music that sounds like you've forcibly split apart a chillhop playlist into its cool jazz and electronic beats components.

saying that the goal of a trans experience is to be stealth is not only laughably binary thinking but also ignores the history of queer identity. queer and trans people have always fought to be radically visible. liberation happens not when we are able to pass unseen, but when we are seen, acknowledged, and welcomed.
My branch is 100% up to date with origin/master? Oh yeah, let's see about that!

The Puerto Rican experience is to be adopted by racist white people and made to speak only their language with no knowledge of your culture. The Sephardic experience? Same. I'm 100% pure diaspora baby, suck my dick.
Them: Wow, you're Puerto Rican and don't know Spanish?
Me: Yes, I was raised by racists, but also, fuck it.
I'm Sephardic and Puerto Rican, that means I have more reasons to hate Spain than the average person

Huh, the things you learn during #NESdev. The three primary colours, red, green, and blue, are not perceived as equally bright. The #luminance is a measure of how bright we perceive all three together! Blue is brightest, then red, and green is dimmest.

I mostly just needed this so I could label the NES palette with their hex indices:

it's really fun looking into how computer security was in the past
MS-DOS and older windows versions didn't have a concept of separate users, you just pressed the power button and you were in
early netsec meant sending credentials in plaintext because, i mean, what are the chances that someone's gonna try and scrape that
WEP, the precursor to WPA, and once the only way of securing your wireless network, only allowed you to set passwords that were 10 characters long, consisting of only the characters 1234567890ABCDEF. the key could only be that long because of US restrictions on cryptography.
and remember autoplay? older windows versions (up to i think windows 8) would automatically execute "autoplay.exe" on any inserted CDs or USB drives. this meant that if you put a virus on a USB and renamed it autoplay.exe, you could infect a windows machine just by plugging it in.
essentially, everyone just trusted each other to be nice and not try to hack each other
If you like Arch Linux, why don't you give ADOM a try
Food
Every time I get to feeling too white, I run across something like an article describing tortillas as, and I quote, "burrito shells".
Burrito shells wtf is that!
The one thing they don't tell you about transing is that cis people are completely lying about short hair being low maintenance.
You gotta trim that shit every week, practically. You gotta put stuff in it to style it. If you decide to go ultra-low maintenance and shave it, well, now you've got to shave it all the time to keep it that way.
