@vampiress@eigenmagic.net This is a logical* outcome of degrees becoming the thing that lets you get job, not about learning and expanding who you are. I was going to say endgame but they can make it worse. I did the wrong degree and was a terrible student (thanks, undiagnosed ADHD). But it signals I made it through and for some reason that's a positive? I don't really recall anything much from the degree. But the performative nature of the system has been progressively turning up for some time.

I wish all computers a Stop Trying To Help Me You Suck At It and a happy Shut The Fuck Up And Do What You’re Told.

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social I assume that’s not wood grain, it’s the density of the cocoa warping spacetime.

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz Can't even pass a COVID test. Kids these days.

I need enough money and power to seize control of Mastodon development to add the most critical missing feature: Footnotes.

@zzt@mas.to @davidgerard@circumstances.run I’ve taken to checking if ‘.gitignore’ excludes the files.

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social Jason Statham in JASON, in which Jason Statham fights every other Jason for reasons never actually adequately explained.

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social @xssfox@cloudisland.nz Opens box marked "Totally Safe AI. Ignore Buzzing." SUDDENLY: BEEEEEEES Hive type was unclear, I might have panicked.

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz @daedalus@eigenmagic.net Technically, all my problems are people problems.

@trent@eigenmagic.net @daedalus@eigenmagic.net That’s secondary to the primary purposes of deflecting blame and making perpetuating errors inevitable. “The system just does that, nothing we can do”.

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social I’m assuming if you edit many images you sometimes get a buildup of pixels if the colours aren’t balanced.

@futzle@old.mermaid.town Why would you trust a computer Deborah? WHY?

@futzle@old.mermaid.town In my defence I am now at the stage where I need reading glasses and also I’m a bad person with terrible impulse control.

@futzle@old.mermaid.town OK DEBORAH NOW WHAT?

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz Should be printing hexagons, Michaela. They're the bestagons.

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz Well that sucks.

The appropriate response to the "Don't You Know Who I Am?" posts bemoaning the lack of "reach" around here is "No and I intend to keep it that way."

I assume this eldritch sigil is for summoning @xssfox@cloudisland.nz

@futzle@old.mermaid.town Theft.

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz This looks like it needs a CW.

Down With Pants

• Official motto of the Anti-Pants League

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz Needs a CW and also a complaint that it doesn’t have a CW.

@garius@mastodon.me.uk That's excellent news

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz CITATION REQUIRED FOX. YOU WERE PRINTING RHOMBOIDS AGAIN WEREN'T YOU? YOU MONSTER.

@futzle@old.mermaid.town I leave it as an exercise for the reader how that constitutes a defence.

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social Are you saying Tim Cook retired to spend more time creating a robot apocalypse?

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz I printed an adaptor for the top of the Snapmaker U1 that allows using an IKEA plastic storage container* as a top lid, as the first party one is delayed. In multiple colours to use the filament that came with the printer. If I was using it for an extended period I might reconsider the use of PLA but it only has to last until November. I have also been printing spools and I have a holder for bed plates and some adapters for the storage boxes lined up in the slicer. So it's nice I'm not the only person whose main use of the printer is to print things for the printer. *I have two for reasons. Maybe slightly better thermally, but probably not.

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz OR: you weren't printed with the right infill pattern. Also why are you printed in PLA? Surely at least PETG for printing Foxes.

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz Michaela Michaela Michaela. You're doing this all wrong. What you* do is after getting a Snapmaker U1 you really don't have room for you almost immediately order a Prusa Core One L you absolutely do not have room for. Your plan sounds like it's "feasible" and "doesn't disregard how much space you actually have". Kids these days. *me

@rwhitworth@infosec.exchange @xssfox@cloudisland.nz @daedalus@eigenmagic.net …have you not met people?

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz MUST. RESIST. THINGS. THAT. NEED. CWS.

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz Probably not.

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz Could it be…MICHAELA?

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz Well a couple of times a year my GP uses a syringe to flush out my ears which is a weird feeling. Do you have an air compressor and a reckless disregard for your own safety?

@RyeNCode@mstdn.ca This is something I’ve encountered. I know that most of the time this won’t happen. But it will be bad when (not if) it does and we are using a platform that has features that allow us to prevent it. Humans are not good at understanding that improbable things are certain across enough instances.

@girlgerms@infosec.exchange @bundyb@infosec.exchange @purserj@aus.social Well obviously you also both need daggers for parrying. Or do you prefer a shield?

@jpm@aus.social PANTS ARE TYRANNY. LIVE FREE. TELL PEOPLE IT'S COLD IN HERE.

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social iiNet was my first ISP back in the day, and they did fall to the attacks of TPG.

@benno@eigenmagic.net I was unaware I’m in your meeting.

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz What are you making? I have to clean bed plates so I can print a stand to hold bed plates. I am going to try using adhesive with PETG to see if that helps with getting the supports etc off the plate at the end of the print. That will be in lime green PETG to finish the spool.

@steadilyebbing@girlcock.club Fairly sure burning Tasmania down is like a $50 fine. Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer nor do I play one on The Interwebs.

@stilgherrian@eigenmagic.net Has it gotten into debt with bad people gambling at online crypto casinos?
