I would like to go do mawr things and say things that a mawr would say
And also go for a walk in the rain but I don't want to get wet because a wet ✨plush✨ doesn't get many cuddles. I have two umbrellas and they're both in the cars that aren't here. D:
The rain sure is nice today. ...but it's a lot heavier than usual, and we've been getting a *lot* of heavier-than-usual rain. The creeks and rivers in the area are at a high risk of flooding if this keeps up. >..>;
@mawr Malina is definitely one! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malina_(mythology)
smol late capitalism vent: mortgages
Mortgage insurance is an extra monthly fee you have to pay if you can't put at least 20% down on the purchase of a house.
A cheap house in the outskirts of a trans friendly metropolitan area will run you at least $500k (20% = $100k).
So if you manage to scrape together just enough to buy a "cheap" house in a place that won't kill you for existing, you will be forced to pay an extra $400 a month just because you're not rich.

Late Stage Capitalism, Marketing-Based Privacy Violations (-----)
I'm in a conference call with the company who's product we're replatforming to use, and they're showing off their built-in marketing tools.
Great fuck. Their _built in tools_ now include automated social media scraping to categorize user interests so you can market to them. You can open any customer profile and see all their calculated interests in a tag cloud.
None of this is okay. None of it. I feel sick.

Has anyone written a linux sound driver for outputting to Lyrebirds? It seems possible; I present the following as evidence.
