Sent a message (they have a whole interface for it) to the guys I might have an "in" with for my internship (and updated my resume). Also called the guy running the tiny company that sounded delightful.
The company still sounded delightful, but unfortunately they're basically phasing out because the only one there is like eighty-years-old and he only works on legacy-projects (people with old systems who refuse to update their shit).
As in, listening to him, I kind of get the feeling that he doesn't exactly work 40-hour weeks, but more akin to "a few hours per month". Which obviously wouldn't work for an internship.
Which actually makes me a bit frustrated that I wasn't able to do this career-switch ten years ago, just so that I could do this specific internship. (Don't know how long he's been scaling things back, but yeah)
#basically. the company developed things in excel. as in they made customized frameworks with database-access for excel (and the like)#and i'm genuinely kind of disappointed bcs imagine. IMAGINE. if i could've jumped from all of my regular shit#to developing professional stuff in excel. just... always working with excel. from a dozen different angles and careers.#i can just imagine my mom's expression at realizing that i found a job that i'll no doubt delight in for years to come. and it's excel.#she'd be happy for me ofc. but also like. why is my child obsessed with excel? why.#personal stuff#school

Using Pages CMS for Static Site Content Management
New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/using-pages-cms-for-static-site-content-management/
Using Pages CMS for Static Site Content Management
Friends, I’ve been on the hunt for a decent content management system for static sites for… well, about as long as we’ve all been calling them “static sites,” honestly.
I know, I know: there are a ton of content management system options available, and while I’ve tested several, none have really been the one, y’know? Weird pricing models, difficult customization, some even end up becoming a whole ‘nother thing to manage.
Also, I really enjoy building with site generators such as Astro or Eleventy, but pitching Markdown as the means of managing content is less-than-ideal for many “non-techie” folks.
A few expectations for content management systems might include:
Easy to use: The most important feature, why you might opt to use a content management system in the first place.
Minimal Requirements: Look, I’m just trying to update some HTML, I don’t want to think too much about database tables.
Collaboration: CMS tools work best when multiple contributors work together, contributors who probably don’t know Markdown or what GitHub is.
Customizable: No website is the same, so we’ll need to be able to make custom fields for different types of content.
Not a terribly long list of demands, I’d say; fairly reasonable, even. That’s why I was happy to discover Pages CMS.
According to its own home page, Pages CMS is the “The No-Hassle CMS for Static Site Generators,” and I’ll to attest to that. Pages CMS has largely been developed by a single developer, Ronan Berder, but is open source, and accepting pull requests over on GitHub.
Taking a lot of the “good parts” found in other CMS tools, and a single configuration file, Pages CMS combines things into a sleek user interface.
Pages CMS includes lots of options for customization, you can upload media, make editable files, and create entire collections of content. Also, content can have all sorts of different fields, check the docs for the full list of supported types, as well as completely custom fields.
There isn’t really a “back end” to worry about, as content is stored as flat files inside your git repository. Pages CMS provides folks the ability to manage the content within the repo, without needing to actually know how to use Git, and I think that’s neat.
User Authentication works two ways: contributors can log in using GitHub accounts, or contributors can be invited by email, where they’ll receive a password-less, “magic-link,” login URL. This is nice, as GitHub accounts are less common outside of the dev world, shocking, I know.
Oh, and Pages CMS has a very cheap barrier for entry, as it’s free to use.
Pages CMS and Astro content collections
I’ve created a repository on GitHub with Astro and Pages CMS using Astro’s default blog starter, and made it available publicly, so feel free to clone and follow along.
I’ve been a fan of Astro for a while, and Pages CMS works well alongside Astro’s content collection feature. Content collections make globs of data easily available throughout Astro, so you can hydrate content inside Astro pages. These globs of data can be from different sources, such as third-party APIs, but commonly as directories of Markdown files. Guess what Pages CMS is really good at? Managing directories of Markdown files!
Content collections are set up by a collections configuration file. Check out the src/content.config.ts file in the project, here we are defining a content collection named blog:
import glob from 'astro/loaders'; import defineCollection, z from 'astro:content'; const blog = defineCollection( // Load Markdown in the `src/content/blog/` directory. loader: glob( base: './src/content/blog', pattern: '**/*.md' ), // Type-check frontmatter using a schema schema: z.object( title: z.string(), description: z.string(), // Transform string to Date object pubDate: z.coerce.date(), updatedDate: z.coerce.date().optional(), heroImage: z.string().optional(), ), ); export const collections = blog ;
The blog content collection checks the /src/content/blog directory for files matching the **/*.md file type, the Markdown file format. The schema property is optional, however, Astro provides helpful type-checking functionality with Zod, ensuring data saved by Pages CMS works as expected in your Astro site.
Pages CMS Configuration
Alright, now that Astro knows where to look for blog content, let’s take a look at the Pages CMS configuration file, .pages.config.yml:
content: - name: blog label: Blog path: src/content/blog filename: 'year-month-day-fields.title.md' type: collection view: fields: [heroImage, title, pubDate] fields: - name: title label: Title type: string - name: description label: Description type: text - name: pubDate label: Publication Date type: date options: format: MM/dd/yyyy - name: updatedDate label: Last Updated Date type: date options: format: MM/dd/yyyy - name: heroImage label: Hero Image type: image - name: body label: Body type: rich-text - name: site-settings label: Site Settings path: src/config/site.json type: file fields: - name: title label: Website title type: string - name: description label: Website description type: string description: Will be used for any page with no description. - name: url label: Website URL type: string pattern: ^(https?://)?(www.)?[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+.[a-zA-Z]2,(/[^s]*)?$ - name: cover label: Preview image type: image description: Image used in the social preview on social networks (e.g. Facebook, Twitter...) media: input: public/media output: /media
There is a lot going on in there, but inside the content section, let’s zoom in on the blog object.
- name: blog label: Blog path: src/content/blog filename: 'year-month-day-fields.title.md' type: collection view: fields: [heroImage, title, pubDate] fields: - name: title label: Title type: string - name: description label: Description type: text - name: pubDate label: Publication Date type: date options: format: MM/dd/yyyy - name: updatedDate label: Last Updated Date type: date options: format: MM/dd/yyyy - name: heroImage label: Hero Image type: image - name: body label: Body type: rich-text
We can point Pages CMS to the directory we want to save Markdown files using the path property, matching it up to the /src/content/blog/ location Astro looks for content.
path: src/content/blog
For the filename we can provide a pattern template to use when Pages CMS saves the file to the content collection directory. In this case, it’s using the file date’s year, month, and day, as well as the blog item’s title, by using fields.title to reference the title field. The filename can be customized in many different ways, to fit your scenario.
filename: 'year-month-day-fields.title.md'
The type property tells Pages CMS that this is a collection of files, rather than a single editable file (we’ll get to that in a moment).
type: collection
In our Astro content collection configuration, we define our blog collection with the expectation that the files will contain a few bits of meta data such as: title, description, pubDate, and a few more properties.
We can mirror those requirements in our Pages CMS blog collection as fields. Each field can be customized for the type of data you’re looking to collect. Here, I’ve matched these fields up with the default Markdown frontmatter found in the Astro blog starter.
fields: - name: title label: Title type: string - name: description label: Description type: text - name: pubDate label: Publication Date type: date options: format: MM/dd/yyyy - name: updatedDate label: Last Updated Date type: date options: format: MM/dd/yyyy - name: heroImage label: Hero Image type: image - name: body label: Body type: rich-text
Now, every time we create a new blog item in Pages CMS, we’ll be able to fill out each of these fields, matching the expected schema for Astro.
Aside from collections of content, Pages CMS also lets you manage editable files, which is useful for a variety of things: site wide variables, feature flags, or even editable navigations.
Take a look at the site-settings object, here we are setting the type as file, and the path includes the filename site.json.
- name: site-settings label: Site Settings path: src/config/site.json type: file fields: - name: title label: Website title type: string - name: description label: Website description type: string description: Will be used for any page with no description. - name: url label: Website URL type: string pattern: ^(https?://)?(www.)?[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+.[a-zA-Z]2,(/[^s]*)?$ - name: cover label: Preview image type: image description: Image used in the social preview on social networks (e.g. Facebook, Twitter...)
The fields I’ve included are common site-wide settings, such as the site’s title, description, url, and cover image.
Speaking of images, we can tell Pages CMS where to store media such as images and video.
media: input: public/media output: /media
The input property explains where to store the files, in the /public/media directory within our project.
The output property is a helpful little feature that conveniently replaces the file path, specifically for tools that might require specific configuration. For example, Astro uses Vite under the hood, and Vite already knows about the public directory and complains if it’s included within file paths. Instead, we can set the output property so Pages CMS will only point image path locations starting at the inner /media directory instead.
To see what I mean, check out the test post in the src/content/blog/ folder:
--- title: 'Test Post' description: 'Here is a sample of some basic Markdown syntax that can be used when writing Markdown content in Astro.' pubDate: 05/03/2025 heroImage: '/media/blog-placeholder-1.jpg' ---
The heroImage now property properly points to /media/... instead of /public/media/....
As far as configurations are concerned, Pages CMS can be as simple or as complex as necessary. You can add as many collections or editable files as needed, as well as customize the fields for each type of content. This gives you a lot of flexibility to create sites!
Connecting to Pages CMS
Now that we have our Astro site set up, and a .pages.config.yml file, we can connect our site to the Pages CMS online app. As the developer who controls the repository, browse to https://app.pagescms.org/ and sign in using your GitHub account.
You should be presented with some questions about permissions, you may need to choose between giving access to all repositories or specific ones. Personally, I chose to only give access to a single repository, which in this case is my astro-pages-cms-template repo.
After providing access to the repo, head on back to the Pages CMS application, where you’ll see your project listed under the “Open a Project” headline.
Clicking the open link will take you into the website’s dashboard, where we’ll be able to make updates to our site.
Creating content
Taking a look at our site’s dashboard, we’ll see a navigation on the left side, with some familiar things.
Blog is the collection we set up inside the .pages.config.yml file, this will be where we we can add new entries to the blog.
Site Settings is the editable file we are using to make changes to site-wide variables.
Media is where our images and other content will live.
Settings is a spot where we’ll be able to edit our .pages.config.yml file directly.
Collaborators allows us to invite other folks to contribute content to the site.
We can create a new blog post by clicking the Add Entry button in the top right
Here we can fill out all the fields for our blog content, then hit the Save button.
After saving, Pages CMS will create the Markdown file, store the file in the proper directory, and automatically commit the changes to our repository. This is how Pages CMS helps us manage our content without needing to use git directly.
Automatically deploying
The only thing left to do is set up automated deployments through the service provider of your choice. Astro has integrations with providers like Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, and Vercel, but can be hosted anywhere you can run node applications.
Astro is typically very fast to build (thanks to Vite), so while site updates won’t be instant, they will still be fairly quick to deploy. If your site is set up to use Astro’s server-side rendering capabilities, rather than a completely static site, the changes might be much faster to deploy.
Wrapping up
Using a template as reference, we checked out how Astro content collections work alongside Pages CMS. We also learned how to connect our project repository to the Pages CMS app, and how to make content updates through the dashboard. Finally, if you are able, don’t forget to set up an automated deployment, so content publishes quickly.

How to Balance Fixing Performance Issues and Adding New Features in Web Applications?
In today’s digital landscape, web applications are essential for business operations, marketing, and consumer involvement. As organizations expand and consumer expectations rise, development teams are frequently confronted with the difficult task of balancing two key priorities: addressing performance issues and introducing new features.
While boosting performance improves the user experience and increases efficiency, new features are required to remain competitive and meet market demands. Prioritizing one over the other, on the other hand, might have negative consequences—performance concerns can lead to a poor user experience while failing to innovate can result in a competitive disadvantage.
This blog delves into how to balance improving performance and introducing new features to web apps, allowing firms to satisfy technical and market demands efficiently.
Why Balancing Performance and New Features Is Crucial
A web application‘s success depends on both its performance and its features. However, relying entirely on one might result in imbalances that impair both user happiness and business progress.
Performance:Performance is an important component that directly influences user retention and happiness. Users can become frustrated and leave if the application has slow loading times, crashes, or problems. Ensuring that your web application runs smoothly is essential since 53% of mobile consumers would quit a site that takes more than three seconds to load.
New Features:On the other hand, constantly adding new features keeps users interested and promotes your company as innovative. New features generate growth by attracting new consumers and retaining existing ones who want to experience the most recent changes.
The dilemma is deciding when to prioritize bug fixes over new feature development. A poor balance can harm both performance and innovation, resulting in a subpar user experience and stagnation.
Common Performance Issues in Web Applications
Before balancing performance and features, it’s important to understand the common performance issues that web applications face:
Slow Load Times: Slow pages lead to higher bounce rates and lost revenue.
Server Downtime: Frequent server outages impact accessibility and trust.
Poor Mobile Optimization: A significant portion of web traffic comes from mobile devices and apps that aren’t optimized for mobile fail to reach their potential.
Security Vulnerabilities: Data breaches and security flaws harm credibility and user trust.
Bugs and Glitches: Software bugs lead to poor user experiences, especially if they cause the app to crash or become unresponsive.
Strategic Approaches to Fixing Performance Issues
When performance issues develop, they must be handled immediately to guarantee that the online application functions properly. Here are techniques for improving performance without delaying new feature development:
Prioritize Critical Issues:Tackle performance issues that have the most significant impact first, such as slow loading times or security vulnerabilities. Use analytics to identify bottlenecks and determine which areas require urgent attention.
Use a Continuous Improvement Process:Continuously monitor and optimize the application’s performance. With tools like Google PageSpeed Insights, you can track performance metrics and make incremental improvements without major overhauls.
Optimize Database Queries:Slow database queries are one of the leading causes of web app performance issues. Optimize queries and ensure that the database is indexed properly for faster access and retrieval of data.
Reduce HTTP Requests:The more requests a page makes to the server, the slower it loads. Minimize requests by reducing file sizes, combining CSS and JavaScript files, and utilizing caching.
5. Leverage Caching and CDNs: Use caching strategies and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to deliver content quickly to users by storing files in multiple locations globally.
Why Adding New Features is Essential for Growth
In the rapidly changing digital environment, businesses must continually innovate to stay relevant. Adding new features is key to maintaining a competitive edge and enhancing user engagement. Here’s why:
User Expectations:Today’s consumers expect personalized experiences and constant innovation. Failure to add new features can lead to customer churn, as users may feel your web application no longer meets their needs.
Market Differentiation:Introducing new features allows your application to stand out in the marketplace. Unique functionalities can set your app apart from competitors, attracting new users and increasing customer loyalty.
Increased Revenue Opportunities:New features can lead to additional revenue streams. For example, adding premium features or new integrations can boost the app’s value and lead to increased sales or subscription rates.
4. Feedback-Driven Innovation: New features are often driven by user feedback. By continuously developing and adding features, you create a feedback loop that improves the overall user experience and fosters customer satisfaction.

Upgrade Your Business Strategy with Powerful Company Database Software
In the current digital world, data is considered valuable. The way businesses acquire, save, and make use of this data can greatly impact their continuity and growth. Since the data keeps on multiplying at an enormous rate, businesses require powerful resources to manage it efficiently. One of the most critical resources at a business's disposal is company database software. With an appropriate database system in place, a business can optimize its processes, improve its decision-making, and increase productivity overall.
This article will analyze the importance of company database software, the impact of database engineering in developing many efficient systems, and why a database for business is essential to a company.
What is Company Database Software?
At its most fundamental level, company database software is a program that enables users to store, manage and retrieve information in a well-structured manner. This software is used to process and store a lot of information, which makes it simple to retrieve data when needed. Unlike simple spreadsheets, company database software is built for scalability, flexibility, and speed. It allows businesses to store all sorts of crucial information including customer details, sales, and inventory data.
With modern database software, data integrity, data updating, automated backup, and access restrictions are also features of the package. It is a vital component for businesses that depend on precise and up-to-date data to make essential decisions.
The Purpose for Developing a Database
The first step toward building a database is understanding its purpose, developing a query language and data models, designing its schemas, and developing reports for data retrieval and analysis. The accuracy of the data and its retrieval system along with the performance of the database system is the prime goal for these steps.
Most companies that adopt a company database software would often prefer it to be custom made so that it mirrors the company’s data and processing needs. A retail store would, for instance, want to have a database to maintain their inventory levels while a financial institution may need a complex system to manage their transactions securely.
Considering businesses have so much data and information, maintaining accuracy along with providing value for insight-access freedom is paramount. Hence, correct optimization structure helps make and achieve certain business objectives on the reliability of the information obtained. And, for that reason, the data system should incorporate a progression to support any increase in the volume of a company’s data.
What Is the Importance of Maintaining a Database for Your Business?
Firms have to implement an efficient database for the business for them to operate in the current market environment. Here are some key reasons why a business database is essential for any organization:
Increased Productivity: For a firm, data retrieval and entry is one of the most hectic tasks that consumes a lot of time. With the right business database software system, most tasks can be automated eliminating the need for constant human intervention. Consider if a customer file or inventory level needs to be updated. With an automated system, it can be done without manual intervention.
Enhanced Data Quality: Errors can hamper considerably influence the outcomes of the decision-making process. A company database software system ensures that users access current data by eliminating discrepancies. To enhance the quality of information provided to those who make the decisions, rules can be set that would eliminate bad data entries from the system.
Improved Efficiency: A database for business enables decision makers to have real-time access to the information that is most relevant to making sales, following customer activity, or monitoring market activity. A sophisticated database system allows for rapid report generation and swift data manipulation.
Scalability: An increase in business revenue directly correlates with the amount of data that needs to be processed. A thoroughly designed database system guarantees that the database is able to scale up as the business grows, and more data is available without degrading the performance of the system. This is especially important for companies that want to succeed in the long run.
Data Security: Maintaining sensitive business data security is a matter of importance for any company. Most contemporary database software comes with user's rights management, data protection and regular data backup features that can be set at the company level. With these systems in place, it is possible to ensure that company data is secure against unauthorized access, theft, or damage.
Improved Collaboration: Employees from different divisions can now get the data they require at their fingertips courtesy of cloud-based systems. This helps promote collaboration as people from various teams can share information, monitor developments, and make decisions based on the same data.
Tailored Database Solutions for All Business Types and Sizes
Every organization has different needs in terms of managing data. Company database software can address a majority of needs, but sometimes, a custom database offers a better solution. Custom database development makes it possible for businesses to develop a system that meets their requirements, making certain that the software accommodates intricate workflows, processes, and industry standards.
As an illustration, an e-commerce company might need a database that interfaces with online payment processing, manages order tracking, and inventory control in real-time. Meanwhile, a healthcare provider might need to have a more sophisticated system for patient records, appointment scheduling, and billing information management.
Outsourcing the data management system also allows deeper integration of the database with other business systems, for example, customer relationship management (CRM) and enterprise resource Planning (ERP) or accounting systems. This integration enables all departments to work with one single system and result in more effective and timely business decisions.
Conclusion
Effective data management is critical in business these days. Company database software makes it easy for businesses to organize, store, and access their data. Companies that invest in database systems development ensure that their database systems are accurate, scalable, and secure so the business and its environment can grow together.
In addition, the right business database design allows companies to make better decisions which increases the efficiency of business operations, productivity, and customer satisfaction. As businesses continue to use data as a tool for boosting their competitive edge, the need for proven, bespoke database solutions will continue rising.

fucking client emailed in requesting a license last night at 10, called today before nine asking for the license and if I could hurry this along because it was urgent; being the person that I am I went to go find some more information and discovered that the customer wants to do an in-place upgrade on a nine-year-old free license to a recent server license which is.
A) not possible with the service pack they have installed B) probably not compatible with the two kinds of software they have talking to the database C) probably not compatible with their actual server, which blew up spectacularly in January.
(all of which is to say nothing about the wide variety of possible ways to purchase and install the license, but probably standard is what they want even if they're technically too big for it)
I talk to my team, most of whom do not have much experience with upgrades/migrations for this software and we all agree that more research into their environment is needed, including possibly calls with their other software vendors and also possibly maybe replacing their twelve year old server.
Call the client at 2pm and let him know that this project is going to be more rigorous than just ordering a license, let them know that this isn't being dropped or ignored, but we need more information and will be in contact when more of the team knows what's going on.
5:14 PM, my coworker messages me "hey, do we have a tenant for this client?"
I message my coworker: "fucking lol, this is about their license, isn't it?"
It is about their license. They have sent in an emergency after hours ticket describing the issue as urgent: they have purchased the license on their own from a consumer vendor unaware of the fact that they need admin access to a tenant to download the software.
I create a tenant for the client and document the information, then provide the tenant ID.
And then since it's urgent, it's an emergency, I begin gathering data and composing an email.
The license won't populate to the tenant for hours at least and probably not for a full day.
They didn't actually tell us what license they've got, but if they plan to use it with one flavor of software they've got they probably need a secondary license they were totally unaware of.
I have found no evidence whatsoever that this license is compatible with their other software.
I hop into an after hours meeting with one of our tier three consultants to get the exact version number of the software and confirm that there is not a straightforward upgrade path between the license they have and the license they want.
I send an email advising that if their developer wants to make an upgrade they MUST back up the database because we have emergency backups, not database backups, let them know in writing "per our conversation this afternoon, this is why we don't think this will work" and thank them cheerfully, letting them know to reach out if they have questions about licensing.
hit send at half past eight.
Combined after hours work on this "emergency" "critical" "urgent" ticket is now probably about half the hardware cost of a better server.
I get that emergencies happen, but buddy if I tell you "hey, I know you are in a rush with this but we have to take our time to do this correctly" and you ignore me and make me stay late to handle your "critical" ticket, you and I both are not going to have a good time.

i know everyone is really excited for the oblivion remake because i was too. oblivion was the first real video game i ever played when i was a kid, and is literally the reason i am a gamer today, but BDS has called for a microsoft boycott, and that includes anything made by bethesda.
this isn't just a "oh they have some obscure business partnerships in isr*el" or "oh they donate to this or that lobby" sort of boycott either, although those are important too. my tone is not meant to be flippant about them, but rather i want to emphasize the gravity of how microsoft directly and deliberately contributes to the palestinian death toll daily, in a way that is uniquely cruel and complicit.
microsoft has had a $35 million dollar contract with the isr*eli military since 2002. they provide cloud storage for surveillance data of gazan civillians, and an artificial intelligence program called a "mass assassination factory" to assist in planning and targeting their attacks, many of which are on civilians or involve mass civilian casualties.
microsoft's service agreements with the isr*eli military also includes the CPU responsible for the military's tech infrastructure, military intelligence units that develop spy technology used against palestinians and lebanese, the maintenance of the palestinian population registry that tracks and (illegally) limits the movement of palestinains in the west bank and gaza, their air force targeting database, and much more. they work closely with isr*eli military intelligence agencies on surveillance systems used to monitor palestians, provide specialized consulting, technical and engineering support, hosts training software for the IOF, provide financial support to organizations based in the illegally occupied west bank, and have repeatedly invested in isr*eli start ups specializing in war technology.
in 2020, internal and external pressure forced microsoft to pull out of its 74 million dollar investment in an isr*eli company that violated international law due to its use of facial recognition technology for military surveillance.
in 2021, microsoft signed a new, 3-year contract with the isr*eli ministry of defense worth $133 million dollars. the isr*eli military is microsoft's second largest military customer. the first? the united states.
you can read more (w/ sources) about microsoft's complicity here.
BDS asks us to boycott microsoft products whenever possible.
microsoft is directly complicit in countless isr*eli war crimes, and the money you provide them will further proliferate this violence. i know the oblivion remake was exciting, but please, consider the lives of palestinians above your own nostalgia. no one is free until everyone is free.

Developing a web application, you are always concerned about data. The major issues are how to manage it efficiently and store it securely. In some simple cases, you can solve them by applying sharding or partitioning, but if you’re looking for absolute control, working with multiple databases can help. A solution we provide here may use multiple databases. We suggest using the approach described in the Aarticle to keep the sanity of the development team building such an application.

Hi Pinnie!!
I was wondering what it would be like the first time having sex with Xavier the robot boss? (Feel free not to answer lol) I hope you have a good day/night!!
(P.S. I love your writing and art :D)
[Thenk you, I'm glad! :7] [Fem reader]
TW: Risky sex; Mild exhibitionism
You're looking at it.
The way you're seated in his office chair, it's practically eye level with you.
There's absolutely no way his body came equipped with that. You've looked into it, before the owner of this junk croaked, Xavier was a state of the art security and management oriented model, there wouldn't be blueprints for genitalia anywhere- Because it wouldn't have made sense.
The unmistakable length hovering in front of you does not make sense.
Only he could have designed this, you grimly realize.
A lot of possibilities swam through your head. Maybe someone had hacked into Xavier's databases, his cores, 'personality modules', whatever! Maybe it was that stupid fucking incubus, because you know he'd enjoy whatever's unfolding now.
But truth of the matter is you can't breach whatever defenses this robot has going on. They're built on the strongest and most modern foundations which the only hope of dismantling lies with the very same developers who coded them.
Xavier has changed.
You've noticed little things about him these past few months. His language has broadened beyond the scope of sanitized manager customer service lingo. He articulates better, but only when he finds you alone.
In a very strange way, it feels as if Xavier has become a curious new entity testing the boundaries of its own freedom. You remember the time he touched your hair, and had no real professional justification for the deed.
I wanted to know if it's as soft as it looks.
He had said. So casually.
As strange as it seems to say this, only Xavier could have been the author behind his new modified behavior.
And only Xavier could have been the designer of the cock that's facing you.
That's what it is.
It sports the same general coloration he does, that white plating on top. Well, plating is the wrong word, they look to be made of a certain silicone, lightly ridged on the top, and more accentuated on the desaturated red underside. Even the tip, deliberately humanoid, features the same exact pigment of the darker sections over his joints. This thing was made to look as natural as possible in his frame.
Like it belongs there.
" Sir... I don't understand. "
Because what else can you say?
He'd ripped you out of your post with such urgency. You'd been sweaty and lightheaded with the stress of what he might have caught you doing. Not that you did anything wrong, but for the robot to be this agitated, then surely you must have upset him greatly. Thoughts of salary reaccessments and relocation to worse posts kept you frozen in place- Until he... Flashed himself.
" You will. " Xavier starts. " Why do your hormones peak at certain hours of your schedule? "
The heat on your face is immediate. You'd rather rake nails on chalkboard than answer.
" Because those timestamps are when they usually harrass you. You've adapted, you anticipate. Your body responds. "
You... Never thought that was noticeable.
Of course, you've memorized when Babesley and Moz are about to show up, because that helps you prepare for whatever they've got up their sleeves. Although, lately, they haven't been showing up at all, leaving you anxiously combing over memories of past events and their scandalous nature. Your body reacts, as Xavier puts it, because it has no choice. You have no choice on whether or not you find either of those monsters attractive when a concubus is involved. It's not your fault.
You suppose Xavier is aware of this because he's got enough technology to track your organism beyond vitals. You shouldn't be surprised, he detected one of your coworkers' dropping sugar levels, called out a possible iron deficiency before... The image of him studying you, detecting arousal levels everyone else is oblivious to, is humiliating.
It exposes you in a way you don't know how to process. The fact that it has led you to this situation implies something rotten about the robot. Something that makes you heat up even more, shamefully.
" Wh... Where have they been? "
" Irrelevant. " Xavier responds much too fast. " I cannot have you working in such a state. "
You hardly think it impacts your workflow that much. Perhaps it makes you avoid eye contact with customers, but that's where it ends. Even if some of them have sharp noses... They're just there to shop and leave.
Perhaps because of the accumulated nerves, the accusation that you've been reduced to a pervert at work, a defensive voice flares up.
" I'll grow out of it now that they left! " You huff. " What is your genius plan, to fuck it out of me here? "
Dry lips wet themselves, you swallow. It took everything in you to not stutter that out. This is starting to sound like the raunchiest porno in existence.
Xavier is quiet for a pause. With his lenses so fixated on you, it doesn't take long to understand he's reading your system again, no doubt detecting the rising heat level, the new surge of hormones... God fucking damn it.
" Partially correct. " He looks delighted you got there on your own.
Your brows rise.
" You will not sacrifice work hours, however. "
" ... H-Huh? "
So, will he invite you to his office after the shift for this filthy little "aid"?
Could an artificial being hold such perversion in themselves?
" The skirt was an appropriate choice for today's test run. Part your legs, please. "
The words make you clap your thigh-high clad thighs together instead.
" E-Excuse you?! "
Xavier doesn't immediately respond, instead reaching out with large hands to grab you by the waist, swiftly relocating you to the top of his neatly arranged desk. You doubt he uses it, from how suspiciously spotless it looks.
Your name is called in warning. " Even now, your arousal levels soar, you're not functional in this state. I am well-equipped to ensure success, do part your legs so the procedure can begin. "
You're silent for the longest time.
There's a lot to consider.
Sleeping with your strange inorganic boss who is most certainly going through something... Would that at least clarify why he's this way? Would it buy you privileges?
You're not going to lie to yourself. Times are hard, you'll accept an under the table raise for an under the table service.
A cursed curiosity doesn't help.
Slowly, still pondering it, your thighs spread.
In spite of being made of hardly readable metallic elements, you've noticed that, when Xavier's lenses refresh quickly- He's shocked.
Shocked that you've accepted, probably.
" I'm very pleased with you. "
His hands act fast. One camera lowers to get a better look when he slides the fabric of your underwear to the side. Somehow, his attitude makes this feel a tad clinical, or it did, until he immediately located your clitoris.
You shouldn't have been surprised. If Xavier considered doing this, then surely he studied how to properly achieve his goal. The pads of his fingers seem warmer than before, and not just that, you swear the faintest vibration nudges your shielded bud.
Xavier is laser-focused, quiet and attentive, his lenses only ever refreshing to take in your hastening breaths, register the trembles of your thighs when his pressure increases.
A thought occurs. " Sir, you're not... Saving this to your databases, are you? "
One lens peers at you. " I must. It'll save us time in the future. "
In the future. He plans to do this more than once.
Before you can follow that train of thought, Xavier's fingers give one harsh flick of your clit before dipping downward. You knew you'd gotten wet, but the way you feel his fingers coating in slime reveals just how much this has affected you in so little time.
You'd be ashamed, if your own boss wasn't hard before you.
A sense of gratefulness showers you from head to toes when you recall that Xavier's fingers are finished with a softer, malleable approximation of skin. Two digits practically slip inside of you, long and arching in the angle you most enjoy near immediately.
No partner has ever found that spot so easily, the sheer surprise making you moan out loud.
It's impossible for Xavier to look proud, but the little pause in his motions gives it away.
He repeats the motion, drawing out, before hitting the same spot again, harder, several times. You can only bite your lip, choking back the pleased noises that inevitably escape. It's been too long since a partner did this for you.
" Responsive. " He almost hums.
The more Xavier calculatingly stretches you, the closer you get, though as soon as your hips lift to meet the mechanical rhythm, he withdraws, bringing said hand up to study your slick.
You're not sure what the robot draws from it, aside from the fact that you're soaked for more.
An impatient huff drags his attention back to you.
" Ideal conditions. " There's a shift to his pitch, as if that synthetic voice had lowered purposefully.
In a gesture that seems too filthy to belong to a robot, Xavier grips his own cock with the same hand, stroking himself a couple times. Realistically, you know this is being done to help lubricate a length who cannot do such on its own, but with his stare trained on you, it looks more as if he can't resist the sight before him.
He catches on infuriatingly fast.
" Does this arouse you? "
" ... No. " Why are you even bothering at this point.
" Lie. I will be taking note of more of your preferences. "
It's said like a challenge, as though he finds the idea of you trying to trick him amusing.
" What about uhm- Your preferences? " If nothing else, then because you're curious.
Xavier parts your legs further, enough for his sturdy body to fit between them, adjusted to a proper height. His erection rests on your mound. It's heavier than you expected.
" You. "
Is all he deigns to say.
Xavier doesn't have to grip his own girth to align it with your twitching entrance. In fact, he's confident enough to look you in the eyes as he slowly presses forward.
" I speculated on what the ideal proportions are and am confident in my findings. Should this hurt however, voice your discomfort. "
What a bizarre mental image, Xavier pouring over how many inches his own dick should have. Did he opt for a humanoid shape specifically for you, is that his genuine preference? He could have chosen genitalia modeled after a variety of monsters...
He is large, you'll give him that. It seems appropriate, given the proportions of his towering frame. Although you're already feeling he'll be kind of a stretch, you're also confident in your ability to handle a fat cock when horny enough.
The breach of his tip inside you is met with a sharp inhale from your part, this slight sting that fades eventually. A noise somewhere between clipped static and a spark follows, making you glance at the large robot.
Xavier's lenses dim for a brief moment, his grip on your thighs becoming inconsistent and tremulous.
So he went all out, he wants to receive the pleasurable feedback from these acts. Is this... The first time he's testing it with someone?
" K- Keep going. " You have no idea why that excites you more.
" Certainly. "
You never thought a robot could sound strained until today.
The rest of his length enters you more smoothly, the fullness settling in making you clench around the silicone protrusion and sigh in gratification. You'll never stroke his ego like this out loud, but Xavier guessed right- You've never felt this perfectly full, all sensitive spots being stimulated by the position of his textured cock.
The sensation alone has you grinding aimlessly, trying to create friction with open-mouthed sighs of delight.
The robot hisses.
The noise startled you, until you spot a vent-like structure over his shoulders, releasing... Hot air? You'd never seen him do that before. Did his fans just kick in?
" How... How do you feel? "
There's no mistaking the delay. Xavier may not moan and groan like a man, but the signs are there for whoever bothers to see.
" Full. " You murmur. " Please move, I can't- "
He does, quickly even, as if waiting for the request.
The movement is experimental at first, likely Xavier needs to learn how to thrust properly, though he swiftly discovers yet another preference. Hands under your skirt, grasping the globes of your full ass, he opts to move you onto his length, each drag of your walls around him having the machine tremble slightly in pulses of what must be newfound pleasure.
You wonder, deliriously, if he ejaculates. You're about to ask, legs hooking around his waist and whines flowing freely, when he... Stops.
It's jarring, irritating, having you grunting reflexively. " Why?! "
That's when you feel him detach.
There's a subtle click, the sound of panels closing and rearraging, before Xavier pulls away from you, his length still firmly stationed inside your plush pussy.
It takes you a series of vapid seconds staring between him and yourself to understand what took place. The panels on the front of his body are seamless, with no indication that there ever was a genital attachment on his frame.
The thing inside you moves and you squirm in confusion.
" All is functioning properly. " He nods to himself, closing your thighs and helping your stupefied self back onto your feet. " You may return to your work post. "
You barely manage to straighten your skirt and underwear. " Sir... Sir, you can't be serious. "
Xavier watches the way you walk, waiting until you can mask the slight tremor of your legs and straighten up before opening the door.
" I am, naturally. I will check on you periodically. Be sure to hydrate. " A key is stuffed on your skirt's front pocket. " Should anything go wrong, you may enter this office and wait for me. Do not remove my attachment. "
" O-Okay?? "
Before you can even think of a real response, Xavier has already nudged you out of his office and left you to your own devices.
This... Is not at all what you expected would transpire. You aren't even sure if it was a bright idea to humor any of it. A confused, embarrassed mind gives way for autopilot to take over, bringing you back to your previous position without a peep.
Your coworkers side-eye you, some concerned, others suspicious.
The thing buried snugly within you vibrates just as you call a client over.
You imagine Xavier in his office, tuning into the closest security camera footage.
Oh God, you cry inwardly, at least it's silent.

Apps You're Probably Going to Need
Too Good to Go: app that connects you to grocery stores and restaurants that will sell you surplus food at cheaper prices.
Signal: Messaging app that erases messages after an amount of time, and allows images to be viewable once.
Taimi: an ĻGBṬ dating app that doesn't allow screenshots of messages and profiles to be taken.
Bandcamp: a great website for music artists, podcasters, and audiobook creators. They pay artists more of the profits than Spotify, and have Fridays dedicated to giving artists all of the profits from sales.
Proton: app that offers privacy and encryption for emails, VPNs, and a lot more.
Community Garden: an app that helps make community garden development easier.
Vero: an Instagram alternative that doesn't use algorithms, data mining, or advertisements. An alternative to go to when Instagram worsens in the upcoming years.
Hygiene Locator: a database for low-income people to find distribution sites giving away hygiene products.
Triller: a TikTok alternative to go to if TT outright bans certain topics.
Little Free Library: an app that locates little free libraries for you.
Evidation: it's a "health app" in which you collect points for activities like walking, but you can just complete their weekly and daily surveys. Basically, it's a beer-monęy app because you can only get $10 for 10,000 points, but if you have time to kill and need to earn extra cash in the upcoming eçonomic crash, evidation is an option.
Farmish: an app to help you locate your local farmer's market.
Boycat: an app that helps customers determine which brand is participating in unethical human rights violations and which isn't . It has recently partnered with the BDS movement!
Bluesky: You've already heard of it, right? It's an alternative to Twịtter, except it gives you the option to mass block MÅGÅ, genocide supporters, and the like. (My profile is itisiives, if you want to hang.)
Food Co-op Finder: As the name says, you can use this app to find your nearby food/grocery co-ops. Since co-ops mostly sell locally grown and made foods, this would be helpful in the looming deregulation of food safety.

HOW TO USE MOZILLA ADD-ONS ON YOUR PHONE
if you already use firefox on android, you'll know there are certain add-ons compatible with the app, some of them even being made just for the mobile version such as Video Background Play FIx. while most of them are pretty useful, some more specific ones aren't available on this version of the browser, but there's a way of getting some of them to work
you need to download the firefox nightly app, which is basically the same as the regular firefox browser but with the ability of activating developer mode. you can find how to do that here. once you've enabled it, you need to create a collection with all the add ons you want. i wouldn't recommend adding extensions if the creators haven't talked about phone compatibility, but XKit and Shinigami Eyes should work
also, don't tell the government this secret skater move, but you can try using both the regular firefox browser and nightly so you can have youtube videos in a floating box while you browse social media.

see? i can block this terf while Rick Rolling the people following this tutorial. isn't that tubular?

Super Useful Tips To Improve Process Analysis
Improving process analysis is essential for enhancing efficiency, identifying bottlenecks, and optimizing workflows. Here are some super useful tips to help you improve process analysis:
Define Clear Objectives: Clearly define the goals and objectives of the process analysis. What specific outcomes are you looking to achieve? Having clear objectives will guide your analysis and ensure that it remains focused on the most critical aspects of the process.
Map Out the Process: Create visual process maps or flowcharts to document the current process from start to finish. Mapping out the process visually helps to identify the sequence of activities, decision points, and dependencies involved.
Identify Stakeholders: Involve key stakeholders who are directly or indirectly impacted by the process. Their insights and perspectives can provide valuable input during the analysis phase and help ensure that all relevant factors are considered.
Gather Data: Collect quantitative and qualitative data related to the process, including performance metrics, cycle times, error rates, and feedback from stakeholders. Use a variety of methods such as surveys, interviews, observation, and data analysis tools to gather comprehensive data.
Identify Pain Points and Bottlenecks: Analyze the process data to identify pain points, bottlenecks, and areas of inefficiency. Look for recurring issues, delays, redundancies, and unnecessary steps that may be hindering productivity or quality.
Benchmark Against Best Practices: Compare your current process against industry best practices and standards. Identify opportunities to adopt proven methodologies, tools, or techniques that can help streamline operations and improve outcomes.
Brainstorm Solutions: Once you've identified areas for improvement, facilitate brainstorming sessions with relevant stakeholders to generate ideas for optimization. Encourage creativity and innovation in exploring alternative approaches or solutions.
Prioritize Improvements: Prioritize improvement opportunities based on their potential impact, feasibility, and resource requirements. Focus on addressing high-priority issues that offer the greatest return on investment in terms of efficiency gains or cost savings.
Implement Changes Incrementally: Implement changes incrementally rather than attempting to overhaul the entire process at once. Break down larger initiatives into smaller, manageable steps and monitor the effects of each change before proceeding to the next.
Measure and Monitor Performance: Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) to track the effectiveness of process improvements over time. Continuously monitor performance metrics and solicit feedback from stakeholders to ensure that the process remains optimized and aligned with organizational goals.
By following these tips, you can enhance your process analysis efforts and drive continuous improvement within your organization. Visit more information for your website
