Last night Furality opened a preview of the Dealer’s Den to folks with booths so that we could make sure everything is working, and I gotta say: the world is fucking AMAZING. They’ve really outdone themselves this year and I can’t wait for the full con! I will not be sharing any screenshots as […]

banning bot accounts does nothing to solve this. on a test server with the DomoAI app pre-banned via ID, external apps turned off in server settings, and a brand new user with zero permissions, it was still possible to run this garbage

It's deeply sad that trans people have to desperately fight for our rights while we're ALSO constantly fighting amongst ourselves. You can call it "discourse", or the leftist circular firing squad. You can attribute it to half of us at any given time going through a puberty. But IT'S DAMN SAD.

I ordered some test cuttings of Transitions and Refactor at elasticStage.com around six weeks ago and after a slight production hiccup they're almost here! Can't wait to get them and hopefully have something I'd be happy for people to order!

dipshits in 2019: you people are NPCs, you don't even think for yourselves dipshits in 2025: I have outsourced my thinking to Clippy

the everything is just so much

fuckin two of my websites are being hammered by what I'm assuming are AI LLM bots (based on behavior) and they aren't even using patterns I can use to reliably block them distributed across hundreds of subnets, using randomized user agents, no IP addresses are being reused

okay so the Valve/Steam “hack” has been thoroughly debunked (and it never stood up to any real scrutiny anyway) but at the same time, right around the news of that breaking I also got a surge of suspicious friend requests on Steam, so *something* is up, I just don’t know what

I posted some thoughts about the self-driving upgrade I installed on my car recently. Short version: I like it. beesbuzz.biz/blog/14719-C...

was just watching the RGME video on Super Mario 2 and was happy to hear @xkeeper.net getting a shout-out at the end

"Some cis women FeEl UnCoMfOrTaBlE sharing a bathroom with trans women" IS NOT A REASON TO BAN TRANS WOMEN. It's just like how some white women FeEl UnCoMfOrTaBlE sharing a bathroom with Black women, and some straight men FeEl UnCoMfOrTaBlE sharing a bathroom with gay men. It's just hatred!

If you see this, post a sword.

Using a LLM to write a term paper is useful in a similar way t using a forklift for weightlifting at the gym. Yes, it may be efficient in completing the task, but the value is in the hard work

Last night's fundraiser show went really well! You can catch the recording of the livestream (which was unfortunately a bit quiet) at www.youtube.com/live/JNGtUF_... My two performances start at around 35:45 (choral ensemble) and 1:39:40 (piano solo) And we raised over $12,000 for the choir!

I've written some thoughts about @bandcamp.com 's #BandcampFriday and why I think it should come to an end, and also what I think a better alternative would be for everyone. sockpuppet.band/blog/1560-So...

Hey y'all, it's #BandcampFriday, the day when @bandcamp.com waives their cut of the purchase price in order to better support musicians. I wrote a blog post about this month, some pricing changes, and some recommendations for other peoples' music to check out. sockpuppet.band/blog/2613-Ba...

every gender transition is a statement in favor of human possibility and freedom and i’m tired of hearing it talked about like it’s some kind of disease

WHEN TRANS PEOPLE ASK FOR TREATMENTS THAT REDUCE OR ELIMINATE FERTILITY, *WE* *DO* *SO* *KNOWINGLY*. I had my gonads surgically removed as part of my GRS. I _WANTED_ this. I did not WANT testes or to be "a man". This is just thinly-veiled "we know what's best for you". bsky.app/profile/erin...

It's wild to me how many people who work in tech define themselves based on the company they currently work for, or even the companies they *used to* work for. So many bios are like "ex-Amazon, ex-MSFT, current Googler" or whatever, as the very first thing. Don't you have anything else going on?
