I came across one of the cooler things I've seen in the push to normalize customizing difficulty and accessibility in games: Rogue Legacy 2 calls the entire accessibility/difficulty/tweak system "House Rules" instead of cheats, accessibility options, etc.

I think that's a real cool name for it.

Socketed Toshiba TMP68HC000P-12, with 3.5" floppy disk for scale.

When you just need a 68k processor the size of a house

my main thing is just that i'm not looking for "here's my delicious gluten free burger bun recipe" i'm fucking depressed and i don't need that

i need a lunch i can have quickly and easily make that doesn't require a ton of setup; my adhd makes it really hard for me to remember shit, this is about trying to work within those boundaries.

so for some help!

if you have suggestions for gluten free meals that are any of the following:

-able to be frozen and heated up when i'm tired
-not super complex and requiring lots of dishes/prep so i can do it while depressed
-actually healthy with different amounts of nutrition
-suggestions like "have cereal in the morning X is gluten free"
-literally anything i can do while on celiac

please hit me with them. could really use some suggestions!

so, uh, once again it seems that running untrusted code on a computer is basically impossible to do safely. i'm glad that's a cute novelty, not the entire basis of modern computing. it sure would be a problem if everyone was using network services that functioned by downloading arbitrary code to execute!

this seems to be doing numbers so let me just plug the following: hi, i'm currently unemployed and job searching! if you're looking for a SRE (or a developer who's extra familiar with the technical details of actually _running_ networked services) maybe let me know?

welp, methylphenidate is out of stock and on indefinite backorder in every pharmacy around me

and with that, this is a reminder that the "shortage" of ADHD meds is in no way organic, and has everything to do with the same war-on-drugs bullshit policies that both Red and Blue Teams have been peddling for the past half-century.

only this time it's affecting people like me who actually need the damn meds to have a functioning brain.

@pinkvampire oh, sad to hear that the YT algorithm has decided that anti-trans videos have mainstream appeal 😔

@jk CONGRESSMAN: To show that we are not luddites, we've decided to submit the question of whether AI should be regulated to the AI itself. However, we will require that AI use at least one baseball analogy. It can do that right?

CEO: Yes, but…

CONGRESSMAN: Good.

CEO: we have made a revolutionary new type of computer that's wrong

user: this is amazing. i can talk to the computer, and it gives me the correct answer,... every time!

CEO: yes. in fact this is going to be so dangerous. we need you to make our company illegal

@pinkvampire I've heard that if you remove the video(s) you watched from your watch history your recommendations go back to normal (may require a little bit of time and a refresh before it takes effect)

did you really save bandwidtch converting my animated 180x180 pixel art that originally measured less than 8kB into an mp4 with the wrong frame lengths? did you? bitch
