@smartypantsshow.bsky.social Could you pretty please fix your chess board? It's off by 90ΒΊ (white square should be on the right).

Would definitely buy a print of this or something like it.

But what do you do if you want to talk to like-minded people about this? Or if you want people who aren't like minded to ask you about it, even though both of these break the accepted social norms. It's a conundrum I haven't figured out how to solve yet

It's considered totally polite to just acknowledge people as they want to be seen, and totally rude to ask others about their gender stuff (other than asking about pronouns), and I felt super comfortable and at home about the way I was treated.

I help run the internet for a living, and yet "hacking my gender" feels like the most important thing I took way too long to do.

At a recent conference, I dressed really goth/fem, and tried to make a point of doing so pretty much the whole time. This was pretty much the first time I've done this outside of a clubbing scene, at a major event.

A cup of sugar and shitty chocolate and burnt coffee shouldn’t cost seven dollars.

I hate getting a cough. I feel actually sick for like two days, but I sound like shit for three weeks while I empty out.

And of course, during those three weeks, I don’t wanna be around anyone because I still sound and look sick, and don’t wanna look like some kind of irresponsible monster.

Listening to someone demand my attention at a rally so they can demand we "get out and vote".

We're an entirely vote-by-mail state. What does that even mean? It's like saying "get out and do your taxes" or "get out and brush your cat".

When a fur con that takes place in one of the most leather cities in the country decides that a spiked choker is too risquΓ©, I'll spend my money elsewhere.

In other news, maybe learn how Unicode works before you try and make a website?

In the past few months, several people I knew and respected have left us in the network operator community. I know this is part of the human condition, but it still sucks.

Dave Taht, Meflin, Fred Baker. Neer. Spottacus.

Fearghas McKay is the latest. You'll be missed.

Not with a bang, not a whimper, but just the same busy signal many of us experienced in your heyday.

You were many people's first taste of the internet. Godspeed AOL Dialup.

So there's a rat king, and a rat queen, and they're two totally unconnected entities?

I only found out recently that I was, in my younger years, at a party with Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, and Steve Jobs, and that my dad introduced me to Steve.

(For better or worse, reaching across the etheral plane to nail an otherwise-impossible bucket list item is a Move)

Baseball camp is expensive, and kids who excel in IT will be good for your care in your later years.

At this point I'm just waiting for the current administration to tell us that smoke detectors are a leftist hoax to try and evade houses been seen by Jewish thermal spy satellites.

And that checking/changing your battery is a ruse by the Deep Battery State.

I hate this.

They're pretty closely tied together. I've found that when I share a photo to something like discord it shares as an HEIF which doesn't work, but if I disable live it shares as a straight jpeg. This...could be smoother. Also, I'd think apps would have caught up by now.

3am texts about Dell racadm from fellow BSD sysadmins?

Okay fine, here's five technical documents I've written, a couple blog posts and screenshots, plus the skeleton of a pending-acceptance package for this OS.

Found out today that you cannot deactivate your Tile trackers so that someone else (say, someone on craigslist) can re-use them, you can only transfer them to someone else via email address. (And these had replaceable batteries)

Garbage, right along with my old Eye-Fi card. Grr.

Look, if you're going to penalize Jimmy Kimmel for something, it should be this:

I think I've discovered why I love Dropout so much...

It had to be a streaming service, because you couldn't have done it on TV.

Not complying in advance. Self-care. Protecting the ones I love. You?

Hey @ellahubber.bsky.social -- is that a fursuit tail on your couch in the recent Lateral episodes, or are you just happy to see us?
