this affirmation got me through the last few weeks.
people tend to think i make jingles for them, when i'm really just trying to cope with the randomness of the universe in a healthy way.
anyway, hope the song helps someone else today.
good night, bluesky.

my entire content creating career was realizing i knew how to market fighting games to casual players, but the changes companies require you to make in order to "market to casual players" result in both casual and hardcore players hating you
liking game genres that spawned from the arcades condemns you to forever suffer cuz no one outside of the bubble gets it and every developer wants to the appeal to the guy who doesn't get it

hey @atproto.com : i do not have a verification checkmark
A few moments ago I told the Atmosphere people I did not have a verification checkmark. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not.
"Yeah, I don't know if this is really them since they don't have a checkmark" Bluesky users checking someone's profile that might be phishing attempt
"yeah this mfer can't spell and is making no sense. it's got to be bailey" Bluesky users checking my profile

Hmm... So it's not Arch. Otherwise the compulsion to say you're using it would have taken over. 🤔
i am specifically withholding the flavor of linux because i don't know what compromise paths exist yet 🫣

showed this to a woman at work and she said "i knew you were smart, but i didn't know you modeled!"
i replied: "thank you for acknowledging my inner beauty and intelligence while also reinforcing patriarchal stereotypes which only exist to suppress the success of women."

Had a good chat with @jasonkoebler.bsky.social for the @404media.co podcast. Got a chance to talk about how tech companies main pitch changed from “you exchange some surveillance for services” to “we get to spy on you all the time and it’s good, actually.”

quick question for the skyline:
on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being a dumpster fire and 10 being absolutely perfect, how good is it that my company is scripting NAT firewall configurations for their clients through ChatGPT?
i should mention that several clients are government contractors.
