re: looking for tech advice
@tastymochafox A few of my personal must haves:
VisualHashing: Puts a 4 panel color background in most password boxes. Gives me a quick check to see if I'm entering my passwords correctly.
Cryptext- https://github.com/cassandrascarpa/Cryptext : Text transformer and decrypter. Good for making and decoding ROT13 spoilers
View Image- https://github.com/bijij/ViewImage : Restores the "View Image" Button in Google Image Search
I've got a few more, but they are pretty me-specific.
CW: ME(~), Drug use.
What is it about pot that clears out self interference and lets me really think and communicate clearly with myself?
I've felt like I've had a bunch of really important breakthroughs since I took a week-long break.
And then cold and work and stress from cold and work just... erases or rollsback all that progress and I'm just pushed back into this cold wet muddy rut i keep trying to Sisyphus my way out of.
@orrery @Leucrotta @ElectricKeet I'd read it!
re: video games, apex legends
@tastymochafox I'll check it out and play with you!
@tahajin My favorite is the NASA engineer who also invented the OG SuperSoaker 50
@kauko No fight needed. Now I know where to send all the SSC to when I've got a surplus.
@orrery @irisjaycomics I've seen relationships built on less that didn't look as full of love as Jaws and his new sweetheart's.
Its like Breakfast at Tiffany's. Having someplace to _start_from is the important part. And if they can make it work, drifting alone through the void of space, then more power to the both of them.
@irisjaycomics I am so glad you included Moonraker on your list. It was my favorite Bond growing up, because it had SPACE! and Lasers! But holy spark was it bad.
@fluxom_alt I believe it came from women (historically) relying on maids and servants dressing them instead of dressing themselves. So when looking at a shirt from the front, it would be working the same way as how a man or poor person would do it for themselves.
re: asking a question as a white person about whats appropriate for me to do during black history month
@daylight I think, as my own black person, that discussing, and even trying to educate and share information should be done by those who have it to those who don't, regardless of skin color. I for one don't think learned about any specific slave revolt and I certainly never heard of the one you want to talk about.
Intent counts for a lot. Intent doesn't _excuse_ bad/problematic behavior, but providing context is never a bad thing, IMO.
re: CW: Orthocosm, censorship, capitalism #mademethink, Engadget link
Does anyone remember the Real Sex series on HBO? They had at least 32 episodes (I'm guessing, cause I have episodes 32 and 13) and they were a series of 1 hour multi-segment documentaries on human sexuality. Titilation was unavoidable, especially when they talked about things that are supposed to be titilating, but I feel like the intent was more on a normalization and education course. And I realized that there's probably no way something like that could be on the air. Not these days, I don't think.

Came across this in my firehose of RSS feeds and it made me full of thinks and some sads, and I really hope that there are enough of people around my age that are taking the chance to work into the places where decisions like this were made and doing their best to change them when they can

@SuperCee@plush.city Me and @mawr love Marbleympics! Me cause that channel really nails the /aesthetic/ and mood of a high-stakes sporting event, but there's no nationalism or problematic for-corporate profit sponsorship. it's just marbles.
@tahajin holy crap.
