Just being yourself is amazing advice until it stops being a recommendation and becomes a requirement to keep living.

try and dodge my estrogen beam attack
Hmmm but should I dodge it though?
Let’s do a pro/con list
Pros:
Girl
Might be fun
Cons:
Maybe expensive?
Maybe lots of paperwork?
Not boy
Makes eczema worse? (It’s already pretty bad)
Might involve succumbing to the idea that gender exists, which is a real no-no in my opinion (everything would be a lot better if we stopped grouping people into arbitrary categories by unrelated characteristics like genitals, face shape, appearance, clothing, skin and skin care, and most other things for some reason)
…
Ah shit I took to long to decide

after hearing everyone call it "second moon" i was so disappointed to learn that it won't complete even one orbit :(
i’m so glad earth only has one moon, if there were more i’d have to pick a favorite and that sounds too emotionally taxing to even fathom

“The old magic persists thanks to it’s unfathomable power.”
No, the old magic persists because the new magic can’t run the legacy spells I need to do my job, and keeps trying to install spirits I don’t want or need onto my orb.
#wizardposting#programmer humor#instead of saying you run Linux try saying you prescribe to the old magics

do you have a favourite flag, real or fictional?
you mean besides --no-preserve-root?
I don't think I know any great fictional flags. I do really like Amsterdam's. I don't really like Amsterdam itself though

Pssst. Guys, there's this wonderful thing called "Ghost Spectre 11". With a little know how (Googled) you can also turn off the new 'Copilot' AI update using registry magic tricks. GS11 is Windows but it's also not Windows. It runs all games and things as it should, minus the bloatware, ads and junk present in stock Windows slowing down your PC. Best part? You're back to being Admin and owner of your own PC.
Look into it. It's worth it.
I got a laptop with Windows 11 for an IT course so I can get certified, and doing the first time device set-up for it made me want to commit unspeakable violence
Windows 11 should not exist, no one should use it for any reason, it puts ads in the file explorer and has made it so file searches are also web searches and this cannot be turned off except through registry editing. Whoever is responsible for those decisions should be killed, full stop.
Switch to linux, it's free and it's good.
#fuck windows#fuck windows 11#tech tips#gs11#ghost spectre#ghost specter#ghost spectre 11#ghost specter 11#not linux#but still very good

I think every computer user needs to read this because holy fucking shit this is fucking horrible.
So Windows has a new feature incoming called Recall where your computer will first, monitor everything you do with screenshots every couple of seconds and "process that" with an AI.
Hey, errrr, fuck no? This isn't merely because AI is really energy intensive to the point that it causes environmental damage. This is because it's basically surveilling what you are doing on your fucking desktop.
This AI is not going to be on your desktop, like all AI, it's going to be done on another server, "in the cloud" to be precise, so all those data and screenshot? They're going to go off to Microsoft. Microsoft are going to be monitoring what you do on your own computer.
Now of course Microsoft are going to be all "oooh, it's okay, we'll keep your data safe". They won't. Let me just remind you that evidence given over from Facebook has been used to prosecute a mother and daughter for an "illegal abortion", Microsoft will likely do the same.
And before someone goes "durrr, nuthin' to fear, nuthin to hide", let me remind you that you can be doing completely legal and righteous acts and still have the police on your arse. Are you an activist? Don't even need to be a hackivist, you can just be very vocal about something concerning and have the fucking police on your arse. They did this with environmental protesters in the UK. The culture war against transgender people looks likely to be heading in a direction wherein people looking for information on transgender people or help transitioning will be tracked down too. You have plenty to hide from the government, including your opinions and ideas.
Again, look into backing up your shit and switching to Linux Mint or Ubuntu to get away from Microsoft doing this shit.
