with a return to normalcy comes a return to CHAOS. it's One-Star Heroes, the two-day show in which i play bad games to pay my bills! Sunday, March 23 and Wednesday, March 26, starting whenever i'm awake and ending when i'm all gamed out, over at twitch.tv/rachelretro

I'm working in a co-working place today & they have a load of random coffee table books lying around that obviously no one ever reads

a thing capitalists did that's clever is that tax bills are itemized on your paycheck (and the precise way taxes are presented serves reactionary ends but that's neither here nor there) but at no point does a paycheck show a worker's revenue generated. it's not even like this would be hard to do; even for something abstract like service jobs you could simply print the business's revenue for the days worked on the paycheck, divided by the number of people employed. it would be pretty rough but massively clear how much your boss exploits you

I'm reading a 1987 Japanese magazine named Hacker and it's adorable. Besides talking about all kinds of bootlegs and erogames, it's got how-to instructions for how to defeat copy protection on PC-88 games. Like, here's how you format a disk and then run this BASIC code to copy the WIZARDRY game disk.

It's on the archive. There's some nudity in it, so beware:

@aran English speakers do seem to take Kunrei-shiki particularly hard, don't they? The assumption that romanization might have goals other than the convenience of mid-Atlantic English speakers doesn't spontaneously occur, so anything that doesn't serve those goals is seen as bizarre and counterproductive. (People seem to particularly hate learning that Kunrei-shiki seems to more closely match the emic view of Japanese...)

@misty @sarahssowertty @gosokkyu they do have the guy/team that ported Rainbow Cotton and just wrapped X-Out ... :bunhdthink:​

@gosokkyu yeah I saw what he said and his attempts to walk it back & I'm not happy about it but I don't see him as a committed red hat fascist as much as a non American with laser focus on his pet tech/privacy issues who ran his mouth in a context he didn't understand. still beats google donating millions & their CEO lining up at the inauguration. but yknow if there are any half decent services run by people who don't suck i'd love to hear it

OH but they do have a mail-only paid plan which was completely hidden away... it's much cheaper than the "unlimited" plan and still gets you 1 custom domain.. so i COULD get that and not bother with drive

Famiclones all look the same more or less, they said. If you saw one, you've seen them all, they said...

Well, that was before I accidently saw this beast of a clone with a built-in b/w TV: The Sonye 986 II. It's not mine and I know nothing about it.

i SUPPOSE i could justify the proton cost if i, like, ditched dropbox for proton drive (is that any good?) and eventually migrated my personal email to a proton one as well. hmm

considering moving away from gmail for my email & i was thinking about using my 12bit club domain; i don't want to self host though. just want a service i can use a custom domain with. anyone have any recommendations? i was looking at proton but it's only supported on their paid plan & that seems kinda expensive for an email address i would only use for "taizou stuff" which i don't use email THAT much for yknow

Please share, especially with your trans, queer, and furry friends: I'm redesigning my website and am looking for an artist to make a tiny sleepy fox icon for my header. Paid of course, and I may need some more illustrations down the line. 🦊
