Have you tried ammonia? That seemed to help for me when nothing else worked. The MSDS for the Sharpie might at least tell you what solvent they used and that might point you in a direction...

(And I know this isn't really about the Sharpie but hey, I want to help how I can. ><)

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with.
this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

Congrats for that too! Weight loss is stupidly hard.

Every little bit helps though, even if youโ€™re not consistent. Just do what you can in the moment and give yourself grace for the times you failโ€”โ€œfailingโ€ one time doesnโ€™t invalidate the times you succeeded.

Kagi lets you do this but youโ€™d have to pay for a search engine. I do recommend it though.

I know that for many, today is a day to share with that special person by your side and a day to express your love for each other, but today I want to dedicate this drawing to those who feel and are alone. Today, I give you a big, anonymous hug from afar.๐Ÿ’œ #furryart #furryfandom #furry #hug #furryoc

Todayโ€™s gonna be hard, huh.

Havenโ€™t made it out of bed yet and donโ€™t really want to, tbh. Gotta do it anyway. I need to keep telling myself Iโ€™m worth it. I cannot let the grief and loss define who I am now.

Also, I need to pee.

I feel like Iโ€™ve learned this in a really hard way the last couple yearsโ€”better to pay attention to what people do rather than what they say.

See also the section on โ€œExpressive Inputsโ€, particularly the parts that talk about derivative works: www.copyright.gov/ai/Copyright...

IANAL but I am reasonably certain this is just not true. Derivative works are generally considered their own protected works under copyright law in the US, so mixing AI and human code would still be protected. Even if you could find out which parts are AI, you still canโ€™t steal the human parts.

Uhhhmmmm is your disk going bad? Or just not responding to I/O? That sounds suspiciously like a hardware issue, might want to check out your dmesg logs next time it happensโ€ฆ

Iiiiiii can really relate to this and Iโ€™m sorry, it really really sucks. (This is what Iโ€™ve been calling โ€œgoing feral but not in the fun wayโ€ heh.) Nothing for it but to try to put yourself out there, I think. ><

Well, I think they do anyway because the bottles/Mexican version use cane sugar and the US version uses high fructose corn syrup.

No idea! I just started feeling the effects of it at dinner and wrote it off as social anxiety, but then got home later and was like, โ€œโ€ฆwait a minuteโ€ฆโ€

Today is the day I learned there is more caffeine in bottled Coke than in canned Coke.

Specifically, I learned this at 3:14 AM. Or so my watch tells me.

I am very tired this morning. D:

Related: Bluesky has this misfeature where you can write a whole thread of posts at once and likeโ€ฆ wtf? Why is that not a single big post?

Also can I please read posts OLDEST FIRST? Who in their right mind thought newest-first made any kind of sense?

Sigh. Time to start taking Metamucil I guess.

Well. We get porn, tooโ€”memes and porn. And I certainly wonโ€™t object to the porn. But I wish there were more genuine sharing going on. With likeโ€ฆ private posts, and comments, and things longer than a sentence or two.

I miss the slow Internet.

Iโ€ฆ actually really miss LiveJournal? I was talking with a friend tonight about how social media used to be a way for friends to know whatโ€™s going on in each othersโ€™ lives. But now I think a lot of us feel too unsafe to post that kind of info in public, so we just get memes. :(

I bought some new key switches for my keyboard recently, shipped from Taiwan. Of the ~$140 I spent, a good $40 of that was various forms of government tax, including sales tax and tariffs. This is *stupid*.

We just shouldnโ€™t be taxing people regressively like this. Tax by income instead.

That usually is the message, yes. And Iโ€™m still unwilling to countenance advance complianceโ€”just shrugging it off means there is no cost to them to complying.

I would rather it be costlier for them to comply than not. Theyโ€™re a for-profit company; this is how we get them to change their behavior.
