She/her/white/cis. 40+ and still unapologetically fannish. Previously ajoblotofjunk but had a lost account case that Tumblr support couldn't solve for over a year, so here I am. Header picture by ayofandomthings; user icon by robotsdance.
Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.
I must not mock Gen Alpha. Mocking Gen Alpha is the mind killer. Mocking Gen Alpha is the little-death that brings total generational solidarity obliteration. I will engage with Gen Alpha lovingly. I will permit them to be cringe. And when they grow up I will turn my eye to their accomplishments. Where mocking has gone there will be nothing. Only generational solidarity remains

Another AO3 app that's pretending to be official when it's not (or at least isn't making it clear its unofficial.) They're using AO3's name and logo, and embedding ads.
There is no official AO3 app
Someone else is gathering your data, potentially your log in information etc and making use of it how they please. (They say they're not but their privacy policy says otherwise)
They are making money from the ads without the fic writer's consent.
They've also rated it Pegi 3 (which is ludicrous)
Please, even if you care about nothing else, for the safety of your data, please don't use this app. Certainly don't give it your AO3 log in details.
I've told AO3 that it's infringing on its copyright. I will be requesting they remove access of my work as I do not consent to my creative content being used to generate ad revenue for them.
I will be reporting it as incorrectly rated.
The only email address I can find is [email protected] which is included in their privacy policy, and [email protected] as their developer.
i saw your art on twitter, it's very good but the fact you have minors following you while you draw literal witches ("creatures" practicing m*gic) is REALLY iffy
it's over. 17th century puritan philip wittebane has found my tumblr at last. sorry i failed you general
What is your most romantic moment in the series? To me it is ‘so he did’ no question but I feel it’s different for every1.
I guess it's a scene rather than a moment but just the whole white sword tower scene between jb! i like that after being so up close and personal all through the riverlands, they're meeting each other again more formally, and they both look so different and for a moment they don't really know how to address each other but opt for these awkward compliments that neither of them knows how to accept..... and then their old familiarity settles in again and there's the whole oathkeeper scene where finally they fully understand one another and establish a mutual trust and it's the culmination of everything that got lost in translation during asos..... and then jb finally dressed as the knight and the lady only to immediately subvert it as jaime, playing the maiden, bestows his knight with a sword for her great quest..... this scene has it all man
