Not normal enough to be comfortable in crowds, not neurodivergent enough to be good at math

The only good part about being alone all week while I get hit with a heat wave in my house which doesn't have proper air conditioning and I have some sort of stomach issue that makes me not really want to eat while also doing it's best to dehydrate me, is that at least my family isn't suffering with me.

Let's go ahead and pile everything onto my debilitating bout of depression.

'Meredith,' some guys ask, 'why won't you shove AI into Signal?'

Because we love privacy, and we love you, and this shit is predictable and unacceptable. Use Signal ❤️

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

While I'm making AmperSands or skimming stones, the kidbots normally pursue rockpool-based wildlife and wifebot assembles rainbows from whatever stones / shells / sea glass she can find. And, well, it's June, so she made this on Sunday.

All from pebbles found on an otherwise fairly unexciting bit of shore!

Fun fact: If you see someone at a nerd event wearing a vim-themed shirt, it's because they put it on in 2003 and couldn't figure out how to take it off

For the past week, I've been so angry and disappointed in the Linux community for being quiet in regards to any kind of celebration to advancing accessibility, but suddenly becoming vocal and supportive when privileged people start writing about how bad accessibility on Linux is while portraying contributors as the devils who don't care about anybody.

I'm so exhausted. I'm so demotivated. The Linux community really doesn't care about accessibility on Linux. No wonder accessibility on Linux sucks. No one wants to work on it because they keep getting bullied and pressured.

It’s True, “We” Don’t Care About Accessibility on Linux

What do virtue-signalers and privileged people without disabilities sharing content about accessibility on Linux being trash have in common? They don’t actually really care about the group they’re defending; they just exploit these victims’ unfortunate situation to either fuel hate against groups and projects actually trying to make the world a better place. I never thought I’d be this upset to a point I’d be writing an article about something this sensitive with a clickbait-y title. It’s simultaneously demotivating, unproductive, and infuriating. I’m here writing this post fully knowing that I could have been working on accessibility in GNOME, but really, I’m so tired of having my mood ruined because of privileged people spending at most 5 minutes to write erroneous posts and then pretending to be oblivious when confronted while it takes us 5 months of unpaid work to get a quarter of recognition, let alone acknowledgment, without accounting for the time “wasted” addressing these accusations.

I haven't even finished the PC case yet and I'm already thinking

"Whenever I finish this thing I'll need to take cool photos. Hmm, I need to make a retro modern mouse to go with it. I mean I have a MX master 3S sitting around I could use for nice internals. I'll also need to do a bit of cosmetic work for my speakers, and my speaker stands, and my desk, and maybe add a little something to my monitor…"

When you say, "Reboot required," I hear, "For your security, we closed the book you were reading without marking the page you were on, we put away the clothes you laid out for the morning, we rearranged your tools, and we tore the last two pages out of your notebook and threw them away."
