I will occasionally post or boost NSFW or kink related stuff under a CW. I expect that any minors following me will not interact with these posts for their own safety.
Boundaries: Don't label or diagnose me without my consent. Non-sexual flirting is okay, but ask before making overt sexual comments. Tell me when I do something wrong, and give me the benefit of the doubt; I promise I'm trying to do the right thing. Also, keep your drama away from me.
If you want to interact with me regularly, DM me to ask for my contact info on Matrix, Discord, email, or XMPP. I'm trying to be less dependent on general-purpose social media.
Maybe Ganondorf wouldn’t have come back if they put up a sign that said “this is not a place of honor”
You know all those fantasy stories where someone accidentally releases an ancient evil spirit sealed in a mountain?
I just realized that that’s real, and it’s why long-term nuclear waste warning messages exist
I think I’m gonna buy Doom (2016) and… maybe just put the remainder toward a more expensive game later

@Texan_Reverend huh. I thought Nitter was dead
@hanna oh I didn’t know Doom 2016 was that cheap now
I guess I might as well
@theking Everyone I know is really into Balatro and I’m not sure why
It’s probably the Tetris of our time, in that it doesn’t sound interesting when you describe it but it has a strong addictive pull
I’ll consider it
Someone gave me a $25 Steam gift card and I’m not sure how to use it
Any recommendations for Steam games around that price? I like indie or retro titles with simple gameplay, but in general I’m fine with most genres
@kat_cal2 yw!
@kat_cal2 yeah people figured out DVD copy protection loooooong ago, and the VLC guys maintain the software that breaks it (libdvdcss), but it’s technically not legal in the US, so HandBrake does not officially support it
@kat_cal2 is it perchance a copy-protected movie DVD?
I have ripped those in the past using HandBrake, but apparently you’re not supposed to use it for that, it just happens to work with libdvdcss
Future of OSU Open Source Lab in Jeopardy: a recent change in funding for the Oregon State University College of Engineering (CoE), which strongly supported the project, makes OSL's current funding model no longer sustainable. Currently the OSL provides infrastructure hosting for Debian and many other Free Software projects, and virtual machines for x86, aarch64 and ppc64le used for CI. If you are in position to make funds available, contact the address you can find in the call for help from...
UPDATE: We have data on >1000 terminated #NSF grants at https://grant-watch.us. Thanks to all who have been contributing data the past few days.
We've also added a "Reports" section with some analyses. For NSF, we see that the STEM education directorate has been absolutely pummeled.
As some have pointed out, Social, Behavioral and Economic sciences is a small directorate and they have taken an even bigger hit.
little known fact: evanescence’s Bring Me to Life is actually about debugging wake-on-lan:
- wake me up <—
ether-wake -b - can’t wake up <— “fuck, it doesn’t start?”
- save me! <— “did the NIC go into powersaving mode again? goddammit realtek”

We should always stick with text, which’ll never suffer data rot.

@evan In theory it’s important for similarly minded political parties in different countries to collaborate, after all they should be wanting to create a better world and not just make one country better, but I’m not clear on what most of them do that’s meaningful. (Other than “talking shop” like the other commenter suggested.)
A lot of organizations I like are members of Progressive International, but I wouldn’t have known that if it weren’t for their Wikipedia page listing their “international affiliation”
