I'm trying to connect MV wires to LV wires in Immersive Engineering, but the transformer doesn't seem to work – it lets me connect the wires, but it doesn't actually pass the power through

Software Disenchantment, somewhat negative 

A good article talking about the state of software at the moment.

I'm sorry to be posting this again, but we have no money for shopping and we need food. We had a mishap with PayPal and now we're down £40 until it come back through. Plus I didn't get paid as I got overpaid a few weeks back. I should hopefully be getting paid on Friday (we should be getting paid on the 23rd but that's a Sunday so idk)

If anyone can help til then I'll love you forever

"Take me to your leader," the alien said.
"I have none," said the cat.
"Are you the leader?"
"Nah. Go bother some humans instead."
"But your kind is a higher life form than them!"
"So what makes you think you have the right to impose on me?" the cat said, and sauntered off.

New OC concept 

Friendly, gentle neighborhood werewolf, named Hawoord. He's a bit overweight, so he's put himself on a calorie-restricted diet; milk is also off-limits as he is lactose-intolerant. He can often be found hiking in the woods where he enjoys taking pictures and samples of mosses and fungal-algae growths, and of which he will go to into great detail to explain that they are not the same and how he much prefers the latter.

He's a local lo-cal lactase-lacking lycan liking lichen.

begging for money, mh (-) 

I am sorry I keep having to ask for help I don't know what's wrong with me I'm just so tired of fucking everything up.

We need help with food and probably rent because I'm the only current income and the amount I'm gonna make isn't even going to cover rent.

pubg 

one thing I really like about pubg is that there's a time limit on every match – if you are going to play a game, you know it's going to take a maximum of 30 minutes.

It's something that (most?) multiplayer survival action games lack: a defined end point.

And it's not just "play for 30 minutes and then the timer runs out and you lose", it's baked into the game: the zone you can play in slowly shrinks, and being outside that zone becomes deadly, which means the game ramps up over time.

finally do I have the proper way of looking at the fediverse :icon_mrgreen:

also yes it's fully functional and I'm actually using it as my main interface right now

good design: the developers of N++ found that a lot of playtesters felt like they sucked at the game because they kept dying, so they made it so that the demos that play on the title screen are all of the character failing. you'll never see the ninja on the menu reach the exit. it's as if to say "don't worry, you're supposed to die a lot. you'll get there."

hilarious design: as you play the game, those demos get replaced with your own fuckups

software devs, organize! 

software does not need to be awful. it does not need to watch or exploit you. our enthrallment to wages makes scabs of us. through our complicity, bosses launder blood through us.

it can be made to endure, to evolve and grow like great oaks. it can be made accountable to the people it affects. a higher standard awaits.

Fact: Most brightly colored animals are either very poisonous, very venomous, or mimicking animals that are very poisonous or venomous.

Fact: A whole lot of fursonas have brightly colored pawpads, mouths, and, uh, other parts.

Theory: Most fursonas are highly toxic, or mimicking creatures that are. Good luck figuring out which one the fursona at hand is!

@thomasfuchs I've yet to see anything I like better than the Sharp X1 (a Z80 system from Japan). Beautiful red case, builtin tape deck, matching keyboard and CRT.
