I had a dream where Petra Parker and I burned down hogwarts and then made out. I'm glad my subconscious is on the same page as me emotionally

Some guy tried shouting transphobic stuff at me near the train station, so I just kept doing my DuoLingo, knowing he'd be too scared to actually get close and start anything. Eventually he yelled "WHY AREN'T YOU LISTENING TO ME" and stormed off, what a little pissbaby lol
Someone typo'ed their email address on the signin page and now I have a guest pass to an Airbus engineering facility. oops.
The very lovely @Brynndylow@chatty.frogawampus.co.uk and @Tess@chatty.frogawampus.co.uk sent me a surprise gift! The first of @Brynndylow@chatty.frogawampus.co.uk 's gorgeous new intersex seaflaps :3 I am extremely humbled by such thoughtful loveliness, thank you both! ❤️ 😊

pfSense leading the way with absolutely useless upgrade notes:
"Certain hardware with a specific firmware problem, including some Celeron J devices, may encounter a kernel panic when attempting to boot pfSense CE software version 2.9.0."
So "certain hardware" might.. not boot at all? And there is no list/table with which hardware has this problem?
There's only one thing for this, get the trebuchet ready

#homelabIt's 3 years since I bought this delightfully purple motherboard (ECS K7S5A Pro, socket 462) and I continue to love it 🙂

Nonbinary aka their gender runs on the JVM and the bite-code gets compiled into AVX-5GAY instructions at run-time

I'm gonna have to start an engineering company that hires all the neurodivergent trans people in my life. We'll crush the competition and customers will just have to deal with getting replies to their vapid emails at like 3 in the morning.
AliExpress algorithm continues to be magical
I bought some intersex-flagged hand warmers from @cassolotl@eldritch.cafe 's shop and they make me happy
Sometimes I like to look at old PC listings on ebay just for the _feel_ of how grim they are. Like, this one doesn't even show the inside of the case, but looking at the PSU exhaust I *know* that it must be a nightmare inside.
Filthy. 
#retrocomputing
#retrocomputingobscure nonsense: This lift at Cleveland Clinic London makes the same noise as the Dwemer doors in Morrowind when it reaches the desired floor. They had to put this sign up to reassure people that it's not trying to eat you and/or fill your inventory with really heavy gears.
10/10 hospital.
AliExpress gets me 👀
Bra manufacturers have such varied opinions about my boobs, the variance in cup size is ridiculous.
I like them though :)
Too tired/painful to go to the trans comedy gala I was going to go to tonight :< frustrating, but sometimes you just have to rest. At least the ticket I bought is going towards a good cause 🙂
I guess there's nothing to do but get cuddly instead :3
cursed idea: Writing a Google Chrome extension that uses the bad LLM they've bundled into Chrome to remove ads from webpages.

There's a certain deliciousness in the idea of using their tools against them.

@tea@chaos.social Database error. I think they just got overwhelmed by fems opening the page 😅
I don't kill the spiders in my house, as they eat the other insects. It's a form of murder-rent. Also spiders are cool 🙂

Look Microsoft if you wanna piss entire countries worth of electricity away on CoPilot stuff that nobody wants, go ahead and do that. But don't try to make it my problem by trying oil industry "plastic recycling" guilt tactics on me on the xbox dashboard.
This survey is dumb, but I sometimes feel attractive and am very slightly crazy so I can't really fault it this time
The problem with being really good at diagnosing problems with myself is that I'm much better at fixing computers than fixing humans. Maybe I just need a BIOS hack for my brain :o

@faithisleaping I have a coworker who uses claude to do all code reviews (because he's so AI-lobotomised that he can't do them himself), and thus generates enormous amounts of useless feedback. It's so irritating :/

@miona@toot.lgbt I love it 🙂 it *does* have the classic Dimmu problem where half the songs take 2 minutes to build up all their layers, but once everything is in place it is glorious 🖤

@faithisleaping@anarres.family If it's controversial, those people are assholes. Be happy ❤️
No YOU are up way too late disassembling the GameBoyAdvance retail bios to see how it makes the boot noises 🙂
