@gtbray @BorrisInABox That's where I looked for it. I went to my dropbox settings, looked in the tabs for third party AI and it's' not there

@gtbray @BorrisInABox That's weird. Yeah I'm looking in the online settings, not in the app or anything, and it's not there at all.

God damn it I wish people would stop. Fucking. Yelling. About sports. You want something to yell at? I'll go over there and smash your TV into a million tiny pieces. There's something for you to yell about. Shut the fuck up for the good of everyone in the world

I really can't believe we're almost done with 2023. It seems like this year just started two months ago. Time is going so so fast

Everyone needs a friend who will go through anything with them. A friend who will support them through anything at all. A friend who will truly, unconditionally care. To the friends I have who are like this, thank you so much. You know who you are

A weird dream I had a couple of nights ago that I just now remembered. I somehow managed to set up some sort of VM on my computer (something I've never done in real life) with some strange version of Windows 10. Apparently, it was a version that was never outside of microsoft, and came from 10's development. How I got this I have no idea. My screen reader used some voice I couldn't change, and there were entirely different system sounds. In fact, the sounds were like nothing windows has ever implemented. There were sounds for everything,, alt tabbing, going to the desktop, opening the start menu... Literally everything had a sound. Also this version of Win10 had a ridiculously long shutdown sound, just because. Thing went on for like 15 seconds. No, I'm not sure why my brain did this.

I just checked the time and it's 03:33:33 AM. How wonderful

This is your reminder to check in on everyone. Not just the vulnerable ones. Not just the ones who show their feelings openly. Check in with all the people around you. Even the strong people. Even the happy people. Even the ones who say they're fine. So many things could be going on below the surface that you don't know about. Under that happy exterior that seems okay, they could be dealing with something very difficult. Open communication with them. Provide them a comfortable safe space within your friendship and company. The stronger people have feelings too. The strongest people need support too. Often it makes all the difference. You could make a difference for them.
It's also okay to not be okay. Whoever you are, you have feelings. You have very valid feelings. As hard as they can be to deal with, they are valid. It's okay to be struggling, and it's okay to talk about it. You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to constantly be strong for everyone. It's okay to ask for help. It's okay to let someone in and show them how you truly feel. It's not shameful, it's not wrong, it's not bad or harmful. You're not broken, you're not invalid, you're not a burden. You are valid in feeling whatever you feel, and you deserve support through all of it. Read that as many times as you need to.
Whoever you are, if things are going well, I hope they continue doing so. And if you're struggling, I hope things become better for you. Sending positive vibes everywhere.

For all the people who insist on spamming my discord with 4+ messages at a time when just attempting to say hello... Congratulations you're obnoxious

Hey brain. If someone's trying to talk to me, the following things are not important or worthy of causing a distraction:
Daydreams
random, abrupt thoughts out of nowhere
Nonsensical ideas
What's going to happen in the near future
Past memories
Things that I've previously found fun or amusing
Trivial stuff from the past I haven't been able to explain

Please just let me focus. You can go crazy when I'm alone but you gotta stop doing it when I'm in a critical, focus intensive situation. Erg

As much as I talk about image descriptions, which yes, are very, very important, I'd also like to bring some light to describing audio posts. This is just as important as describing your images. There are people who aren't able to access your audio posts for any number of reasons. Yes, audio can sometimes be difficult to describe, just as images can I'm sure, but at least trying is good. There are many, many people on the fediverse who appreciate that immensely.

If a blind person, or any person with accessibility needs, tells you what they need, listen to them. It is absolutely rude in the worst way to either push things on them that they don't want, or restrict them from things they do need. Denying someone accessibility, or forcing measures on them, is so, so rude. If you haven't experienced the situation the person is in that makes them require accessibility, you have no idea what they're going through. Listen to disabled people. Listen to their needs. Give them what *They* request, not whatever you think is best.
