that being said, if you continue to use it, more power to you. those above are only the reasons why *i* won't use the sunset flag. if you think i'm going to have a problem over *others* using it, you didn't read my blog post upthread.

look, to clarify, i don't hate people who use the sunset flag. i hate the flag itself, because of its popularizer and how it was stolen. i hate its history and how it got chosen as "the de facto lesbian flag" without my or any other elders' input, on tumblr.

yeah i flip out a lot. sorry. if you can stand it tho (and plenty of my friends say i'm not unreasonable, which helps the gaslighting that some people will try to do to me saying i'm too angry to have friends or smth) i guarantee you we will have a nice time discussing old tech

i have too much trauma to be nice and cute and socially marketable online

it extremely pisses me off more so because of c-PTSD from being doubted and ignored and told to shut the fuck up my entire life by people who should know better and refuse to. i'm tired of being dismissed and shut down when i actually know something

Show thread

this shit pisses me off because i've already run into it before and it took me hours of troubleshooting why is it i couldn't send serial commands to a piece of 1986 tech only for someone with 3.5k twitter followers to tell someone "yes any usb to serial will work"

RT @maplesbian@twitter.com

so apparently you can get USB to DB9 cables marketed as being RS232 compatible when in fact they output TTL levels. lovely

you bet your ass if i ever get there i'll stop trusting myself (i already don't very much)

Show thread

full offense, slowly learning not to trust anyone with over 1k followers on twitter

at least with retro computer stuff. these days everything is TTL and nobody cares

Show thread

i'm not trying to gatekeep by saying that you NEED to know the difference between TTL and RS232. i'm saying if you're trying to do serial stuff without it, you WILL have a bad time, through nobody's fault but your own
