whoever implemented KDE's "waggle the mouse to make it bigger" thing and decided it should have no end point of getting bigger should win a software engineering award
Idk if I'm just too autistic or my coworkers are, I'll still be in the middle of a conversation half way across the room, as I originally came in to go to the toilet, but every few steps I take my coworker keeps making conversation. I started my entry with "going to the loo" yet 5 mins later I'm trying to find a polite way to leave!
Hey arcade owners. If you purchase something, and come in to pick it up, it's frustrating when I have to explain what game it's for because you don't recognise the game name, you purchased the machine AND the part!
Rewatching Silicone valley, and anton (the web server) has just been introduced. Old Bitcoin mining rigs in plastic milk crates in the garage.
Forgot this was what got me into nas / home servers
GF and I are about to embark on a 6 hour drive to the middle of nowhere (nhill, VIC) closer to Adelaide than home.
There is not much in nhill... Besides Australia's only pinball museum.
We intend to play pinball all weekend, and compete in the pingolf tournament being held on 26th of April.
Wish us luck! I'll probably be updating here and my other fedi.
Yelling into the void,
But about pinball now!
I thought I heard the buzz of crts when I came into work this morning 🥰
Today in: "This is apart of my job"
Getting this smurfs weight
Man, Just got off reading bullshit on X about the new Social media age verification bill.
I Hate how many people are trying to bring up trans youth and them being allowed to "Mutilate" their bodies.
Like they feel they need a "valid reason" why they are mad about the bill... So they choose trans people... and like...
You should be mad about the bill, it is an overreach of authority all because they can't think of a better way of doing it.
BUT THAT DOES NOT GIVE YOU REASON TO BE TRANSPHOBIC, YOU ARE MAD AT YOUR GOVERMENT, NOT THE MINORITIES, STOP USING MINORITIES TO FULE YOUR ANGER ON OTHER ISSUES.
ANYWAY! I am still coming to terms with how to feel about the bill myself, I do look back at the kind of unlimited access i had to the internet as a child and shudder, I met many bad and dangerous people, I was harassed and bullied, But i also found my community, i learnt about the world and people unlike me, and i was educated enough before diving in to not wind up dead or on a revenge prn site.
Nowadays with AI and algorithms being so vicious, We do need to consider how our youth is sucked in and interacts with it... But i know that forcing all adults to hand over all their identity documents to each big company social media, is not how you do it.
You make laws around what the company can show the youth, not around where a youth can wonder on the internet.
You educate the youth on the dangers of social media, and not just predators but the ads and algorithms themselves.
This is all just a very rushed PR bill to make it look like they are doing something...
Be the girly that stops by the servo before work and buys a monster energy, Linx body spray and a pack of Pokemon cards.
Maybe I should start posting my new work shenanigans here. Lots of cool arcade stuff comes through.
