Autistic technology nerd into electronic music, FOSS, sci-fi, and retro gaming, among other things. I try to stay open-minded and rational, and encourage others to do the same.

Boundaries: Don't label or diagnose me without my consent. Non-sexual flirting is okay, but ask before making overt sexual comments - or just direct them to my lewd account, @[email protected]. Tell me when I do something wrong, and give me the benefit of the doubt; I promise I'm trying to do the right thing. XMPP is in extra profile fields, feel free to send a message and you may ask for my Matrix, Discord, or email in a DM if you wish.

Mario’s fireballs are not made of fire - they bounce off the ground, they work underwater, and when they hit ice, it shatters instead of melting.
The fire flower produces glowing, bouncy rocks.

@npub1tps…9rmt ah yes, it’s well known that your brain and your teeth are not part of your body.

cool dating ideas:
use the relative dates of higher (newer) and lower (older) rock layers
compare amounts of radioisotopes in organic carbon or potassium in volcanic deposits
compare the position of magnetic minerals against known reversals of earth’s magnetic field
use molecular biological data from multiple species to estimate the date of the common ancestor

I like “pretentious” art
Firstly because a lot of genuinely deep stuff gets labeled as pretentious by people who don’t get it
Secondly because even if sophistication is just being applied as an aesthetic to something that isn’t that sophisticated… it’s an aesthetic I like
I also like “indulgent” music, please go ahead with that 3-minute drum solo followed by a longer keyboard solo, because I bet you’ll have tons of fun playing it, and it’ll definitely sound that way

LoadingReadyRun is currently streaming a match between Magic decks called “Pay Teachers More” and “Trans Rights, Trans Lefts”.
Love it.

STOP DOING VENDORING
libraries were not supposed to be bundled with apps
years of software packaging yet no real world use found for 2000 different copies of log4j on the same computer
wanted to automatically include libraries anyway? we had that already, it was called dependency resolution
“hello i would like to port chromium’s webp buffer overflow fix to discord”
they have played us for absolute fools

whenever I hear “strongly typed” I think of the programmer typing furiously, pressing as hard on the keys as possible

@npub1f0u…853l yeah, i meant pretty hate machine and downward spiral
i usually consider eps to be on equal footing with albums, but for some reason i’d forgotten the broken ep existed and when it was released.

@npub1f0u…853l confession: i have only listened to NIN’s first two albums. even though I like them enough to own both of those on CD

ai music idea: johnny cash covers of other nine inch nails songs
i’d love to hear him sing such lyrics as “it comes down to this, your kiss, your fist, and the strain that gets under my skin, within, taken, the extent of my sin”

@npub1uuv…zpxv @npub1pha…68fq this is why my current approach to music is:
look on Bandcamp first
if it’s not on Bandcamp, look for a CD and rip it.
this way, I can use my music collection however I want, without having to get around DRM.

Vaguely considering buying a Linux or de-Googled Android phone to replace my Pixel, or alternatively installing a de-Googled ROM on my next Android device.
If I’m to do this, I will need to be able to run up-to-date Android apps (probably including apps from Google Play). It would also be preferable to continue to use my previous cellular provider, which is one of the major providers in the US, so I’d like to know if that’s possible.
Also, what pairing of device and ROM would you recommend?
Please boost if you have some followers that know about this.
