autistic text formatting survey 

which is more powerful for doing that thing with the text, title case or italics?

also i didn't exactly "download" his music from youtube, i played the song, and then captured the loopback audio with this old Mac program called "WireTap Pro". since "don't download this song" specifically refers to downloading, i considered explaining this to him as i thought this distinction might somehow be important.

so yeah i'm autistic and trans

i remember thinking about his song "don't download this song". and being like "ok so he's clearly doing satire, but is he satirizing anti-piracy itself, or is he just satirizing the song he's making fun of by making it about anti piracy? and like he makes some over the top statements about 'diamond coated swimming pools don't just grow on trees you know' but does that mean he's truly ok with piracy or just making fun of more successful, richer artists"

ok so when i was a young kid i got free tickets to a weird al concert with backstage passes (from a friend who's mom works at the stadium he was playing) and i got to meet him. and i remember the whole time leading up to the concert and meet & greet i was trying to decide if i should disclose to him that while i did like his music i had downloaded it all from youtube. like "he deserves to know"

app snark 

you know what would be sick? if i could take all my favorite Electron apps, and combine them into a single window. maybe they could even save memory by using the same chromium instance. You could navigate between your apps using some sort of tabbed interface. While we're at it, (this part's a bit of a stretch) but also how sweet would it be if app vendors put their code on like an HTTP server or something, and you could dynamically load new electron apps over the internet; instead of downloading the whole app in one go, just lazy-load the resources as they're needed, with automatic updates happening by vendors updating the files on their server and invalidating the file's local cache entry.

account wide CW, (reclaimed) homophobic slur 

ok, edited for egregious typos, nearly a year later, here we go:

sometimes a call myself a fag or faggot. sometimes as part of working through my relationship with straight society, sometimes just because it feels straightforwardly good to self-id that way. I feel weird CWing self-identifiers so this is my account-level warning on this.

hey is the statute of limitations up on the whole JFK thing? i have one hell of a story i've been sitting on

anyone want a challenge? I am trying to identify an obscure RF connector and having no luck; it's on an "AirPort Extreme" wifi card inside an iBook G4, it doesn't look like one of those normal tiny SMT connectors like u.fl, it's still tiny, but beefy, this right angle barrel, multiple millimeters deep.

If anyone's interested i can post pics and some measurements tomorrow, i've spent quite a bit of time online searching so i think it needs Someone Who Knows RF Connectors to crack it

re: car idea 

note: rules lawyering about what exactly counts as a "piston engine" is allowed and encouraged. however, the more it resembles a normal car engine the more bonus points you get.

There's a lot of bonus points; you can actually lose the race and still win if your fuel is cursed enough or your engine seems impossible enough. conversely, you can just barely squeak past the Problematicness Requirements with your Crude Oil car, win the race, and still lose to the Random Fragments Of Unexploded WWII Ordnance team that barely makes it across the finish line
