Heya, I'm lynn! 🏴🏳️‍⚧️

I'm a demigirl techno-scoundrel in their thirties. I like hacking machines and documenting that process on my site and wiki, doing CTFs, things like that. Computer chaos is beautiful.

Besides tech things, I enjoy moments spent alone with beautiful scenery, abandoned places, tea, electronic music, books, concerts, dogs, and eerie movies.

I try not to take myself too seriously online. Silly shenanigans fill the void in my soul  otherwise I get anxious and existential.

Follow requests status: fuck around and find out! I'll probably do a quick vibe check. If we've never interacted before, it's cool to DM me an introduction.

there are three kinds of programming tutorials:

  • “look man we both know you don’t wanna learn this shit so just install 30 GB of random frameworks and here’s the code to copy-paste if you wanna make a basic game and feel like you accomplished something. I’m not gonna explain how any of this works because nobody cares as long as your little guy jumps when you press spacebar”
  • “an endofunctor is a type of monoid which is a subcategory of monad that is variadic over the set of all impure lambdas - therefore all possible expressions in this language can be modeled after- wait where are you going?”
  • “this is called a variable! a variable is a little friend that can hold onto something called a value! variables love grabbing values and they can even carry them into functions! say hi, variable!”
Youtube has started doing AI upscales. Be careful what you archive from now on.
We should block transphobes from peeing. See how they like it.
My $5 VPS can send posts to the fediverse instantly, but god forbid the 3 trillion dollars company can send a fucking email
Can't send a mail with gmail. Ends up stuck in their shitty outbox feature. 2025 is very cool and normal.

remember when firefox was all "customise your experience with extensions" before they conveniently forgot they could add all this AI bullshit as extensions?

any opt-out in the core browser doesn't matter if they're going to override your choices every upgrade.

literally the only useful ML-aided tool they've shipped is the local translations. okay, that one's proved itself, but why would i willingly waste the limited resources of my machine on stuff like tab grouping?

My two moods currently are:

- Men I trust - Porcelain, outro loop extended
- Carpenter Brut - Escape from Midwich Valley

Which feels like being either in a state of deep longing, or emotionality mixed with incredible violence.
I'm angry. Mad at myself to be honest. I see that as a good thing, given how passive I've been lately.
Tough scroll for FOSS this morning, something shady going on with Calibre, something shady going on with SyncThing, something shady going on with F-Droid, it's almost as if free software has a functional society as one of its dependencies and none of this shit works in a social environment where people are emboldened to be arseholes
