i need to get lost in a cave for a few weeks

*addition* also neckdeep in forest loam, atop a secluded mountain, or stuck on a deserted island could work too.

i installed open video downloader, a FLOSS utility for ripping youtube videos, which is such an easy to use & convenient program, & it reminded me of the campaign i went on (completely unsuccessfully) a couple years ago to get clickless mouse added to the patron computers in my public library, because i had watched multiple older adults struggle immensely to double-click on our computers, went looking for an easy solution for them, & found that someone had already thoughtfully written an elegant & adaptable little program, initially intended as an accessibility tool for a particular friend of theirs. this is why i love FLOSS projects so much: they're usually personal passion projects, at least at the outset, & they reflect such powerfully pro-social values that even when they have nothing to offer me in particular i am delighted by them. thank u to all FLOSS devs <3

The opt out does include all posts, including reblogs, even those made before the integration. You don’t have to leave!

I appreciate that you guys want me to stay and I’m grateful that you like my art enough to say so, but 😭 I don’t trust tech companies like midjourney as far as I can throw them and a big part of this is just out of principle— I don’t want to support a site that’s willing to sell out its user base like this.

the difference between the cultures of heaven and hell in my ocverse are so funny to me because it leads to such profoundly different kinds of emotional mess

like, for angels, it's always been a kind of public service work- they're trying to make the world a better place, and that just so happens to involve promising humans eternal preservation in exchange for doing some manner of good and kindness in the world. but also humans are messy and complex and so are SYSTEMS and so are ANGELS so you end up with vastly different outlooks, like amaranth's "the system is flawed but if i work to change it from within i can one day achieve something truly and genuinely good even if i get there through morally grey means" vs asphodel's "the system is flawed and i no longer have faith in it, so i'm going to dedicate myself to learning as much as i can about the entirety of everything in hopes of one day finding the path to true good" vs zinnia's "the system is flawed and has been corrupt from the start, so why should i be punished by operating by the same metric? might as well embrace the truth that power means more than morality"

and then for the demons it's like.... they have absolutely no presumption what they're doing in the world is good, they're just part of an essentially capitalist machine that is only interested in Acquiring, they're all small cogs in a great big machine that only cares to get more mana, get more mana, get more mana by any means necessary

so they don't really HAVE complex feelings about the work they're doing, it's just a JOB. but you also have that kind of feeling of displacement and purposelessness that comes from working to survive, not for passion, so they're all just trying to make it by day to day without being swallowed by the system and chewed up and spat out. and they have kind of a nihilism that comes from viewing the system as unchangeable and omnipotent- well, it sucks, but literally nobody can do anything about it, it's too big for them to tackle

and this is all a lot of thought for a silly comic that's mostly about demons being horny and dumb slice of life but IDK I REALLY LIKE THINKING ABOUT IT

My job role is changing for the third time in less than a year so I thought I would start looking into learning Linux just to solidify a path of my skills instead of being a blanket "technology support"

Turns out, even just picking a starting point is it's own maze!

Diary Post #12

It's 17/01/2024, I've put my four weeks notice last week. The manager has asked me if there's anything he can do in order for me to stay.

For context, none of my supervisors and the manager know that I'm autistic, they just know that I have chronic migraines (which get worse during burn out).

So here I am again.... Burned out and needing to quit so I don't put myself in an early grave.

Cigarettes and energy drinks are my source of "nutrition". If it's got calories it's good enough for me.

Less painful than getting out of bed to make a simple sandwich.

Behavioral Truths IT Support Wishes You Knew

Let’s face it: in the world of IT support, we often tiptoe around a simple truth—sometimes, the customer is the problem. While the customer service mantra “the customer is always right” might work for retail, those of us in the tech trenches know better. After years of supporting businesses across Arizona, we’ve collected enough stories to fill a techie’s nightmare journal. Today, we’re pulling…
