Trans Finder is so popular that it literally CRASHED my Mastodon instance for several hours

I'm unemployed and REALLY need money so uuuuhhh

If I said "send me like, $5 or something on Ko-Fi" would folks be interested in getting one with [insert pride flag of your choice] ?

They're 2133 x 2133 pixels and I'll send you the PNG and a PSD if you want it

I can probably figure out how to make them actually replace the finder icon if you use a Mac, too

@midway @djsumdog I checked the guest list of this conversation and "bootlickers of fucking capitalism" were not invited

Fuck AI. Make art (by Joshua W. Cotter)

So, I missed a phone call from a recruiter!

Except it's not a recruiter. Apparently capitalism realized that recruiters are worthless and actually pretty easy to automate with "AI"

Except except oops. The slop machine cannot understand data, only brute force statistical algebra

So it thinks I'd be a great developer (I'm not a developer, I suck at programming) and that I'd WANT to work on fucking Kubernetes (I would rather be thrown violently off a bridge than work with Kubernetes again)

HEY #retrocomputing lovelies!

I gave a talk at LinuxFest NorthWest about #Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Net

You should give it a watch <3

@disorderlyf In fairness, the people who screech "no politics!" (in 2026) *generally* mean "I agree with far-reich things but I don't wanna be called out for being a piece of shit"

If you hear "NO FASCISTS" and you say "waow way to be POLITICAL"

It's you. You're the person that warning is about

Get the fuck out of my sight before I Judge Dredd punch you

@bleedingphoenix I'm not familiar with the reference. But a friend drew him for me and it became a channel mascot of sorts

Me: Yeah there's unfortunately a lot of fascists in retro computing. They're not fucking welcome on my projects

Literally the second comment on my youtube video:

oh fuck I need that-

HEY, #Seattle #retrocomputing lovelies. It's almost that time of year again!

VINTAGE COMPUTER FESTIVAL: PACIFIC NORTH WEST IS BACK!

It's FREE to attend (though donations are appreciated)

Come see a bunch of old computer stuff and meet the cool folks behind them!

(Boosts greatly appreciated so we can get the word out! <3)

@soatok I WONDER WHY

HEY #retrocomputing folk in the PNW. VCF PNW needs more exhibitors because it's a much larger space! Go register!

(Boosts also appreciated <3)

@mac84tv They're the G5 Quads with liquid coolers

So you might say they're just bursting with joy!

It's very important that when you adopt a Mac G5 you introduce it to your other Mac G5's right away

Socializing your Mac G5 is important to ensure it remains happy!

Remember. It's not just a PowerPC. It's a lifetime commitment

@icedquinn I mean they have PowerShell now

I don't *like* it. But they seem happy

@snep @icedquinn Yeah I just don't like the EverythingIsCapitalized.Syntax --bullshit --it --pulls

When my purely ops ass joins the dev team

@argv_minus_one @rk @prettygood As I Understand It (poorly)

They re-mapped it to all be in /dev/sdX after the SATA drivers in the kernel just kind of took over from IDE as the primary "type of hard disk" likely to be encountered. I think somewhere in the 2.6 kernel series?

That's also why the old driver has "DEPRECATED" everywhere
