npm: union busting scum 

So this new article showed up on The Register today:
theregister.co.uk/2019/07/02/n

TL;DR NPM fired folks for trying to improve working conditions and talking about unionizing. Blatantly illegally. Union busting companies don't usually settle with the employees. That tells me this was egregious.

Pride month is over, which means it's officially Halloween season

Decided to see what would happen if I trained a neural net to write names for self-aware AIs.

Some telegram stickers commissioned by @leafnoodle! I'm open to do more of these if anyone wants some of their own - I'm thinking $15/sticker or $100 for ten? #dragon #furry #mastoart

masto drama snark 

accidentally got my Twitter mentions flooded by people who are livid that most Masto instances don’t like users that are just twitter-crossposting spambots.

good! we don’t want you either.

by popular demand, here's the final draft of the Queer Villain Pride flag I did yesterday, along with a link to a hi-res version here: dropbox.com/s/abew1ci7y5xzt9q/

again: pink for passion, orange for community, green for knowledge, purple for queer history, and black for evil, pure EVIL. feel free to use this for whatever. mwa ha ha ha haaa, etc

Cadence Of Hyrule is really fun! it solves all the issues I had with Necrodancer (which was completely unplayable if you weren’t Gud)

posting this here again with the hope that it'll spur me to write more of it...

(this is a work of fiction)

I do love to not have power for 10+ hours, thanks pg&e!

corporate legal shenanigans 

honestly, how is it legal to *add* arbitration bindings to an existing account, with a timed *opt-out*?

signing away one’s rights should be something that requires a...signature...

factoring RSA keys by sending them to straight guys with the subject line "if you can't solve this you're gay"

You ever wonder how awful it would be to be on the design team for a Metal Gear

"So they want it to be articulated to walk upright and switch between Rex and upright mode, and they want to test it in a region with regular dust storms?"
"It also has to scream."
"Who wants it to scream? Why does it have to scream?!"
"Skull Face says it has to scream."
"Skull Face says a *lot of things*."

Robots I liked from games in recent memory:

-Metal Great Sahelanthropus from MGSV
-The Jackal and its derivatives from Warframe
-Zorn from Remember Me

"Naux," you might say, "these are just all the robots you can think of that scream." And if you said that, then you have just learned something about me.
