Could flatten's size hinting be improved?

I waited too long and now they're out of seats ;_;

Definitely check out Rain and My Impossible Soulmate by @lynnsenpai.bsky.social. The former has a massive backlog stretching over a decade and is story-complete and was an amazing story about a trans girl living as herself in high school.

Also Mage and Demon Queen for a GL/yuri fantasy run.

Upcoming ebay listing: "that one weird capacitor that was inexplicably powering a motor for 13 hours"

I had to take off the side panels so I could unplug the fan from the fan controller to get the damn thing to stop.

I feel like I should find and replace a capacitor and sell it as a collectors item.

Turns out its a fan in my PC that's refusing to stop spinning, and the "beeping" was the rhythmic noise of being slightly unbalanced.

That's all well and good, I unplugged the computer, assuming the power supply was just still powering the fan controller for some reason. Sadly, the fan didn't stop.

"Lumina & The Mysterious Case of the Perpetual Motion Fan" was not how I was expecting this morning to go.

case in point: theres a beeping coming from somewhere in my room but the frequency and resonance means i cant fucking find it

Fuck yeah bring back penny auctions

Relatedly: probably my most individually radical economic position is that anyone selling a house should be required by law to prefer an offer from anyone who will live in the house vs someone who will rent it / “invest” in it, no matter how much worse the offer is.

ive flown on budget airlines that charge more for a carry on than a checked bag

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally.

And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

My phone has full optical character recognition of 47,000 photos. I can search individual words.

I cannot search three words in quotes.

Computers used to be powerful. That power meant something. It was power for making your life better in sovereignty to your own interests.

And now we have this.
