Saw something from a friend of mine (on twitter) that made me want to really drive the point home. He was talking about ethics in tech, and ended his posts with the following:

The legacy of the Manhattan Project isn’t Oppenheimer being quoted as saying “oh man look at this sweet-ass research we did!”

And he's right. And I want to share something so that you can understand the stakes.

I just had a dream so intricate that it took me 600 words+ to type it all out. Holy moly.

@Felthry If my dream was anything to go by, buckle the fuck up. D:

I nearly died, and I don't want you to!

And yeah, I was upset enough that I DID THE BLOODY MATH!

Hey guys? I wrote up a PSA on electrical safety re: some stuff I've seen on Youtube recently. Really important so you don't get yourself killed. D:

@rey Aww ;_;

Kudos to @Draekos​ for the awesome work (and for being awesome in general). Dragons have to hoard something, right? https://awoo.space/media/sJayqTsM_NyNgXxwoXg

@Irick *hugs, is as lost as you are, is just trying to help*

@Irick I figure something she, and others, can look at and remember they're not alone might help. Hope so, anyways.

@Irick Same. I had an idea I sent Kos's way, but I'm not sure if she'll go for it / it requires others' consent.

"Between yourself and a few others today, there seems to be a bit of a heavy day. Pending permission from yourself and others, I'd like to commission a group piece of... well, as many as want to be in it, so that you, and the others who are hurting, can look at it and remember that you have friends and support."

@mawr It's like if they charged extra for AES-NI or something. I'm just like WTF.

@mawr I mean... I don't even know how they can not support it at this stage. Kinda crazy when the effort in something like Proxmox PVE (Debian based) is... I dunno, 3 lines in a config file?

@Draekos *gentle support hugs* >.<

TIL that VMWare vSphere does not support SR-IOV without an Enterprise Plus license. What the fuck? D:

@Felthry *thirteen boops*

@mawr Even though I really love law (to the point where I used to listen to TwiL (https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-law) weekly, I decided against pursuing it because I didn't want to be a patent lawyer. :(
