Intently trying not to be That Linux/Open-Source Guy in other peoples mentions is hard. Know that if I slip up and become That Guy in your mentions, it was from a lifetime enduring enshittification and learning hundreds of neat little ways to avoid getting trapped by it.

A little talked about symptom of ADHD is Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD).
This is an intense feeling that everyone hates you.
RSD comes in waves, and does not require events to trigger it. You can be walking along with friends having a great time and suddenly you feel an outsider.

I think sort of hidden in the whole AI/LLM conversation is the tendency for large companies to just throw any optimization out the window once a service is launched, and instead just spin up a bunch of bare-metal capacity to make things appear to work like they should.

This guy just verbally abuses an LLM as it continues to agree with him cheerfully, and it's awesome.

My therapist is refusing to sign off on the psych paperwork I need for bottom surgery because she says what I'm asking for is "irresponsible" and "confusing". I cannot make it any simpler than the words "Quiznos toaster oven pussy". I will not compromise or yield on my flawless vision.

If I offer to pull a tarot card from my massive bizarro 138-card desk and interpret it for pay-what-you-can, would anyone be interested?
I really need to make headway towards not being overdrawn tonight and I feel like reading is something I could actually do right now.
It's the Alleyman Tarot!

I had a dream I went to a weird house with my sister and adopted a dog and then I woke up and there was no dog, and I've spent the day sad there's not a dog.
Wish I could adopt a dog. It's been like 10 years of me wanting to adopt a dog.

I'm 100% in this boat. I learned to appreciate just the pure effort that people were putting into making a thing, with the promise of continuing to make things until they made things that were better.
the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now

Listened to this last night and I gotta say: I'd listen to a dozen or more episodes of this kind of recap/retrospective from folks across the various corners of #OVER/UNDER. I was in the same faction with these folks, and there's still a bunch of details here I never knew at the time!
Last Friday, @scarius.bsky.social invited @lukegearing.bsky.social onto Ansible Uplink for an impromptu bonus episode recording, all a big ol' debrief (a.k.a. chattin shit) about #Over/Under
Enjoy the episode, one week after the game has finished, 🤠

A lot of CRPGs are gay but Citizen Sleeper games are trans. They don't have gay romance subplots they have "overthrow capitalism to get puberty blockers" main plots.
