I hate how basically every shitty infrastructure decision in the US can be traced back to racism

There’s plans for that with many of the transit expansion projects both within the Bay Area and with CAHSR, but yeah it’s less than ideal right now and many of the plans are still a decade away

me, who is an ace trans person: "..."

though seriously, even when I was on 100mg progesterone (I had to stop because of side effects), I wasn't horny so I guess I'm an outlier...

I sometimes feel like I still might be traumatized by that even though it's been over a year (especially since I stay quite on my guard around men as I hold a level of distrust)...

my naive self last year feeling validated by a guy asking me to dance at a concert, only to find a few minutes later that he just wanted to grope me... and not only did he do it🀒 but he refused to let go and a friend and I had to get him to go away

I'm trying to get used to the smaller numbers here, though reconnecting with others in the first place is seeming to be a bit of a pain

the progesterone was just making my legs fall asleep and my feet swell :(

feels like I got ripped off compared to others

knowing myself, if BART or Caltrain made a dress I'd 100% wear it

heck I wear a BART pride shirt around already

probably the cheesegrater because less kinetic energy will be going into turning the wheels compared to the whole computer

I'm probably back to showing off my cosplays, just like in 2020 except far better now

Apparently my League of Legends cosplay made its way onto Riot's website, and I only just noticed :o

yep social media networks need to reach a critical mass to have the "network effect"

bluesky isn't quite there yet, but hopefully will be soon considering the mass exodus from twitter

would be funny if your work started flipping chromebooks as windows machines soon

since I've seen a bunch of different people do it lol

so funny thing about the way I implemented the driver stack for this on Windows is that because I used ACPI, the I2C buses do show up even with the basic display driver (though you still need to install my i2c driver for the touch devices to show up)

it took me 10 years before I finally could write a driver for this device because I wasn't sure if I could access the GPU MMIO at the same time as the GPU driver without everything crashing

Google in 2013: "Let's connect a trackpad and touch screen to a GPU!!!!!"

I got some spare invite codes as well; mostly since I've been trying to reconnect with mutuals from twitter but have had limited success doing so
