I'm increasingly convinced that no one outside of millennials know how old millennials actually are. Gen Z universally seems to think we're at _least_ Gen X if not boomers and round Gen X and Boomers into millennials. I saw a Gen Z woman complaining that we weren't exiting the workforce and […]

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@ekuber/117041527082059388 I strongly, strongly encourage Open Source projects to adopt an AI policy. Whatever goes _in_ that policy is less important than that you _have_ one.

Example of how women's sizes are made up. Me: <typically wears a size 10–14, brand dependent, for dresses and the like> My girlfriend: "I think you'd fit in my jeans" Me: <is dubious> Her: "the long ones I wear with heels" Me: <still dubious> "okay, I'll try them" <tries them> <they fit […]

Content warning list I've put together so far for this game.

Gods I'm begging people who just realized they are trans six months ago to crack open a theory book or spend more time listening before deciding to opine on things. Please. I'm begging.

"Can you write a design doc for this" "I mean I can, but it is two tickets and is supposed to be relatively lightweight"

Talking with my fiancée about how Brennan Lee Mulligan really only seems to know how to tell two types of ttrpg stories. Apocalypse stories or goofy romps. Nothing in-between. Nothing that blends them. So on the one hand you get Crown of Candy, Calamity, Campaign 4. Neverafter. On the other […]

The parliamentary systems that most people talk about being better because they allow for multiple parties also have multiple features you'd identify as profoundly anti-democratic, many of which the US system avoids or at the least is not worse at. In this essay I will…

I kind of struggle with wearing crop tops in public, but more out of a lack of familiarity and thinking that I _can't_ look good in them than anything more grounded.

There's currently discourse about straight women refusing to date bi men and not acknowledging that this is, in fact, homophobia/biphobia. The defenses on this have been _wild_. * "If a straight man refuses to date a bi man is that biphobic" (no, because they are… straight) * "Why don't _you_ […]

Gods it is so obvious when cis, het, straight men start boxing outside of their weight class in online discussions.

"Phobia means _fear of_ and I'm not afraid of gay people" Mantis shrimp and hydrophohic fabrics must be _very_ confusing to you.

"I've never written a CLI before" Okay, now I feel ancient and practically dead.

Dear developer, you don't get to increase the priority just because it isn't happening as fast as you'd like. The priority you are trying to set it to has _rules_ and unfortunately for you I happen to know them. This is the _second_ time your team has pulled this trick and I've stopped you both […]

"Orpheus's song wasn't impressive and it was also plagiarism" is not a take I expected to wake up to and now I'm going to walk into the sea.

This is great. Hadestown truly is a triumph and the proshot is such a love letter. https://playbill.com/article/hadestown-stage-film-nearly-surpasses-all-time-record-for-highest-grossing-broadway-capture-film

Hadestown Stage Film Surpasses Hamilton for Highest-Grossing Live Capture

The pro-shot of the hit Broadway and West End musical opened to $10.2 million and will now be in movie theatres "indefinitely."

"Surely there's a butch lesbian _somewhere_ in Seattle who would be willing to infodump to us about where to get a 60s vintage suit"

Girlfriend describing why she thinks I'd get along with this friend of hers: > There's a particular archetype of 'trans woman who was boffer LARP staff pre-transition' that is just 'takes no prisoners, "you have no idea the NONSENSE I had to deal with"' Which I mean, as someone who is also in […]

Gods I get annoyed by this pattern. Woman: <talks about her experience of womanhood> Men, coming in like the kool-aid man: "BUT WHY AREN'T YOU TALKING ABOUT MEN'S ISSUES?!?!?" Because I'm not a man? Go talk about your own issues. I encourage it! Why is your primary advocacy here trying to […]

This person had a lot of the same thoughts I did, but went about them in a very different way (and is a lot further than I am): https://github.com/paulprogrammer/llmlang#key-features I don't love the syntax or some of the thoughts on the details of the language, and I would personally […]

If you have a chance, Hadestown is well worth seeing tonight in the theaters.

The number of recruiter contacts I've gotten since swapping my professional profile to feminine terms and pronouns has gone radically down. Weird that. Must be a coincidence.

Oh hey didn't expect to see a False Hydra plot in 2026.

People have lost track of why interviews for software engineers had programming in the first place and how _incredibly weird_ that is compared to not just other industries, but even how it used to be not that long ago. Like it used to be that it was relatively common to just give someone a […]

Every so often I need to spell a name/word/phrase in a language like Irish and the spellchecker/autocorrect systems CANNOT be convinced that I actually know what I'm doing. Today's example: Cumann na mBan

"Do not use argument X to attack/defend Y, it is a falsehood that falls into the trap of being 'short, quippy, and wrong'" "How dare you defend/attack Y." Do people listen to themselves or do they just lack reading comprehension.

"Every query is like dumping a bottle of fresh water on the ground" Except it isn't remotely like that. At all. In any way, shape, or form. We can make anti-AI-datacenter arguments without resorting to falsehoods. Please.

Saw a trans woman talking about how she was clocked because of her interests aligning with the stereotypical trans woman stereotypes. Not even the hardcore stereotypes, just things like "likes linux" and "games" in fairly conventional games. So she got rid of her hobbies. It just made me sad […]

RE: https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/116962763699983489 This is one of the current "things" I've been observing: * We have a problem that is being introduced by AI * Therefore the solution is more AI to solve the problem There's no deeper thought than that. It's disturbing. I also _keep […]

they say: > A malicious dataset abused two code-execution paths in our dataset processing (a remote-code dataset loader and a template-injection in a dataset configuration) to run code on a processing worker. From there, the actor escalated to node-level access, harvested cloud and cluster […]

You are absolutely right! I should not have injured a human being or, through inaction, allowed a human being to come to harm!
