IT'S BEEN 5 SECONDS. GIVE ME A MOMENT TO WRITE SOME MORE LINES npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ is there some technical reason why every single password manager I've ever used doesn't do shit for HTTP Basic Auth? You'd think this is the place they'd shine, since it's standardized and built into the browser, rather than having to regex for username and password fields npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ so I try to go through the "customize my plan", which won't let me select no TV but I'm hoping I can remove it at a later spot, and it refuses to let me continue until I enter a credit card for my mobile phone account. apparently my direct debit info is fine for TV/Internet, but it needs a CC for my mobile phone account. I don't have a mobile phone account with them, though. Still, I need to enter a card for the 0$ npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ wow xfinity's site is terrible. I'm trying to convince it to let me cancel my TV plan but keep my internet. I got through two chatbots and it gives me the option to schedule a callback. I hit that button and it says there's an error, and suggest I go look at support. like, support for their website? not working? npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ JSONL/JSON Lines seems like a good replacement for CSV-type data, so I'm trying very hard to not have a kneejerk negative reaction to it npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ @nprofile…dcqh the previous time I was talking about working on shock collars, someone on reddit yelled at me, saying they were horrible and inhumane and a terrible way to train dogs. so I had to reply "uh, these will never be used on dogs, I promise." npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ KVMs are great if you want your mouse and keyboard and monitors to randomly not work also your network connections but other than that, they're great npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ @nprofile…e72k doordash, on a good day npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ going back in time and telling baby!Alice that one day, you'll be able to go online and order a computer 8 times faster than her packard bell, with dual cores, and it'll arrive within 24 hours. and she'll also be able to do the same for a sandwich, and the sandwich will cost more npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ okay I wrote the PHP script. it worked just fine. I didn't die npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ hoping closer to the former since I don't wanna have to update PHP on a school night npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I'm thinking of compiling a small visual basic program and embedding it into the internet archive's emularity version of windows 3.1 inside an em-dosbox on my website npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ lazyweb: imagine you need to make an HTML page that just shows a simple form, which'll do a simple request to a backend API when the user clicks the OK button. but you don't want to write raw HTML, use AI, or use anything cloud-hosted. What would you use to generate this? npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ 39 year ago, the debut single of a young singer was released, which would one day change the world forever. Let's celebrate together! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I was putting all kinds of different things in send.py and then running sendmqtt.py npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ remember kids, the #1 rule of debugging: MAKE SURE YOUR CODE IS ACTUALLY RUNNING npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I was trying to listen to a meeting on a tmobile-wifi-tethered macbook on my lap in the passenger seat of a moving car, and my horrible bandwidth was making this difficult. Turning off the video helped a lot, but WOW they put that option behind a real 'Beware of the Leopard; door npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ The answer to "how do I stop all incoming video", btw, is (at least on macos) Settings, Meetings and webinars, scroll to the bottom and hit advanced, then turn on "Enable stop incoming video feature". This just lets you see the menu option. To actually use that menu option, you need to be in a meeting, go to the "Speaker" menu in the top right, and click "Stop incoming video" npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ all, apparently, because Zoom can't stop changing their mind on where to put the incoming audio options. Is it on the microphone hamburger menu? the meeting's menu icon? the meetings tab in the settings? do you use the view menu? or settings, and then it's under Meetings & webinars? Do you need to go to the separate webpage that has even more extended options? npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I was trying to do some obscure operation in Zoom earlier today and found four separate guides on how to do that, and this let me figure out the 5th way that actually worked npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ and one of the little-discussed downsides to this: apps can (and do) change their UI way too fucking often npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ like obviously it's very hard and I hate it but if you just Don't Care and do electron, you can build and iterate on your terrible GUI really fast, because it's just a Webpage npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ sometimes I think making GUI applications has gotten too easy npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I'll be happy with non-keyboard-navigable UIs as soon as I can get a third arm installed, and no sooner npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ it's very cool and handy that you can use a website from a device that fits in your pants but I'm on a big computer that doesn't, and a lot of aspects of the experience has been kinda ruined by solely focusing on the pants-computer accessibility npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ like don't get me wrong, it's overall a good thing that we've been aggressively focusing on making computers easier to use for the last 40 years The learning curve used to be really steep, it was a problem. but we've also really flattened how much extra functionality you get out of learning more about how computers work. Even things as simple as "you can tab between UI elements and not have to take your hands off the mouse" is far less useful computer knowledge, since it barely works now npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ god so many web designers have never tried to navigate their website with the tab key and it shows npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ curl --cacert cert.pem https://zapgirl/ works just fine! but when I do: python -c "import requests;requests.get('https://zapgirl/',cert='cert.pem')" SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, "[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: Hostname mismatch, certificate is not valid for 'zapgirl'. (_ssl.c:1077)")) npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ curl: (60) SSL: certificate subject name 'Alice Averlong' does not match target host name '10.12.11.17' WHY AM I NOT A HOSTNAME npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I am not being paid enough to deal with SSL certs on a rp2040 npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ @nprofile…2pcx christ I'm so sorry. that's fucked up to do to any kid, but especially a kid with ADHD & Autism. npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ Is there a list anywhere of which crimes AI companies are allowed to commit "because AI" that humans are not? npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ Like I'm no lawyer but that's usually the kind of thing I think you shouldn't do and shouldn't tell people you're doing npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ and you only need to do it a maximum of 476 times! per frame! npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ doing fixed point numbers on paper: definitely a sensible thing anyone should do npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I can highly recommend combining a migraine, lack of ADHD meds, and SSRI discontinuation syndrome if you just want to have a really bad time in your head npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ the good news is that I finally have migraine meds the bad news is that, for balance, I'm now suffering withdrawal symptoms from my antidepressants and I've got no ADHD meds either (apparently my pharmacy has been "out of them for a month" but they only told me today) npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ Instead of filling this month's ADHD prescription, they just completed last month's. So I have ONE PILL to last 30 days npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ Oh sweet banana-flavored Jesus. They fucked up one of my other meds today. Last month they were running low on Adderall, so they did a partial refill: 29 instead of 30 pills. Whatever, I just skipped taking my ADHD meds one weekend day. Today, for this month, they don't have a shortage. Yay! So they fill it, no notes, no warnings, and I get home to one (1) pill npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ alternatively I'll just do them one at a time and keep having chronic migraines well into next may npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ maybe I'll just get my doctor to prescribe me all 6 possible migraine meds that my insurance might cover and then I'll throw them all at the pharmacy and see if any of them stick npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I've located 5 more meds that might work for me (by looking up the whole class of anti-migraine meds on wikipedia and checking all of them through my insurance's coverage page) so I can restart this TWO MONTH process at any time for each of those npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ okay so my insurance told me a completely different story: that they HAVE got prior auth, but they're still processing it. it takes up to 72 hours, and it's only been 48. so within 24 hours they should approve or deny my prior authorization. when that happens... I won't know. so I just need to call them back tomorrow and start this whole process again npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ lemme type the exact medication into my insurance's coverage checker site. oh look, it's marked as covered npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ okay finally talked to a human. according to their lies, the insurance said it's not covered, and that my doctor should send alternatives. funny, given that I'm only trying to fill this specific prescription because the main alternative isn't covered, and this one is. npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I NEED A HUMAN TO LIE TO ME, NOT A ROBOT npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ oh my god when I tell it "I need to talk to a human pharmacy technician" it goes "okay... I'll connect you to the pharmacy!" and then there's a moment, and I'M TALKING TO THE SAME FUCKING AI AGAIN npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I specifically told it I was calling about my FOOBAR medicine, and it goes "oh your adderall?" npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ the worst part is that when you call them they make you use their AI, and I tell it I need to get the status of my prescription, and it goes "no problem. your adderall is ready!" because it only sees that one prescription because it silently un-filled the prescription. then I get routed to a real person AND THEY DO THE SAME THING TO ME npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ the prescription is now back to never-requested-to-fill. not canceled, not an error, just un-filled. I only know this because I checked manually. npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ okay so when they lied to me yesterday about it never having been attempted to be filled before, I asked if they could put a note on the prescription to contact me if it got canceled. They said "oh you'll be contacted when it's filled or it gets canceled!" I suspected at the time, but now I am certain: that was a lie. npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ oh hey, Microsoft Comic Chat has been open sourced! opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2026/07/16/microsoft-comic-chat-is-now-open-source/ npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I need to find a different pharmacy to try so I can get different, better lies npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ great thing to see: a github repo for a device that CAN KILL YOU and github warning you that claude contributed to it npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ @nprofile…0ca3 I only say SQL, but I'll accept SQL, sequel, or squirrel npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ happened again. same tab. it seems if I have a tab open for more than a day, and firefox has to restart, some kind of cookie or local storage is reset and thus the tab fails to work, since I can't do the Secret Handshake or whatever. https://digipres-club.s3.bhs.io.cloud.ovh.net/media_attachments/files/116/904/674/026/838/418/original/37ef9e5a4cc768ad.png npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ @nprofile…nx9p yeah, I wrote the text for bluesky first then copied that to mastodon, and Bad Things happened along the way npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ Time for a new Death Generator!

I told the app which model we had, it told me which button to press to connect to the wifi, and after trying that for 5 minutes I go and check the store page... this model doesn't have wifi npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I say this too often, but the future is stupid npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I just had to confirm to my washing machine that I'm over 18 npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ so if an enemy has launched large reflective satellites into orbit around your planet, how much laser power would it take to push them out of that orbit? because surely a ground-based laser could get them to act more like a solar sail? npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ on the other hand, just sticking your pronouns in bio means you never have the problem blusky just had where the owner of the most common pronoun labeler just got accused of sexual assult npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ @nprofile…z32h zooming. npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ OH GOODY THE CONTROLS ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IN SKETCH MODE npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ The best time to pick up a new 3d editor is when you're already pissed off at another failing, you're medically unable to watch any tutorial videos, and your eyes are too blurry to read small text npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I'm used to them all using different ways to move the camera, but I was REALLY not expecting "hold the middle button and left mouse, BUT you have to press middle button first or it won't work" npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I have opened FreeCAD for the first time start your clocks to when I decide I hate it, like every other 3D editing program I have ever used npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ @nprofile…5x5d @nprofile…005v actually now that I think about it, the reason why was 100% that I didn't have a pascal compiler. one of the things I do not miss from the 90s: being able to program in a language being something you have to pay a lot for npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ @nprofile…5x5d @nprofile…005v my grandmother was a programmer! she did PASCAL, and even gave me a book about it, but it didn't catch for some reason npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ @nprofile…005v the funny thing is both the BASICs I grew up on (Q/Quick and Visual) didn't use line numbers.
