fami? online?? @famiheart@computerfairi.es

TIL there are sections in Unicode called Private Use Areas (which totally sounds like a sex thing to my dirty mind) where you can define special characters in a font. for example, button prompts on the Switch are in there. The icons you see at the bottom of the home screen telling you what controllers are in use and how their grip is configured? That's part of a system font.

i think i wanna try commissions again. hmu for some $15 sketches or some shit, trying to get my groove back.

Xmas at family so I can't draw tiddies, but have this

My shiny hunting power is at max.

be mindful of your language, here are some PC (patriotically correct) terms to replace outdated and offensive ones:

❌ installed a dictatorship ✅ liberated a nation from communist influence
❌ anti-union ✅ pro-consumer
❌ queerphobic ✅ expression of religious liberty
❌ genocide of the natives ✅ agreement to share land
❌ corporate discrimination against minorities ✅ freedom of speech
❌ racist slurs ✅ freedom of speech
❌ refusing to serve gay people ✅ freedom of speech
❌ refusing to serve straight people ✅ violation of free speech
❌ concentration camps ✅ summer camps

just noticed a ton of digital 3DS games are no longer available on the north american eShop. players who stick to legal means of game acquisition have zero recourse. that's so shitty.

Bloody Vampire, which i mentioned liking last week, is one such victim. now the only way to play it is to "pirate" it. which is no problem for me, but others aren't so lucky :/

I wish everybody knew about https://outline.com

when "hey you should read article! [link]" leads you to some hideous monstrosity of popups, autoplaying videos, and begging for/demanding money to read the damn text, you can instead:

1. copy the URL
2. paste it into the outline.com box
3. enjoy reading the actual text
4. (optional) say "not today, Satan"

sometimes it doesn't work, for some mysterious, unexplained reason. outline.com sometimes chokes on NYT articles, for example, but other times if I close the tab it's in, open an new tab, and try pasting the url again, it works, so.

anyway yeah! spread the news!
