lol its still so stupid that ppl in the tech industry didn't want to unionize when they had all the power

the thing is, this is not far off from some of the search engine "corrections" i've been getting lately (of things that actually weren't wrong, just not what the search engine 'expected')

god sundays suck so bad when you work a job with weekend shifts

@eramdam i am unfortunately ALL too aware lmao

'you typed in mastadon.social! that url doesn't seem to exist, sending you to bluesky.com instead'

i can't wait for browsers to start implementing 'fuzzy' urls

i swear to god they move the copilot setting every time i have to use Edge

AI becoming popular in part bc companies are exploiting properties of human brains is actually completely in line with the fact that they've also been turning the dial on our gambling addictions for the past couple of decades

i love breasts

uh wow. maybe its bc i was playing on a switch before, but i didn't realize that not only was gwynevere big, but she was also... very lovingly animated

eventually just went offline bc i was tired of dealing with it. i don't even mind invasions normally! but this was just frustrating, not fun

just beat ornstein & smough and honestly? while the boss fight itself was frustrating, what was even more frustrating was getting invaded by dudes twice my level EVERY TIME I TRIED TO GO HUMAN

@amorphophalex we've been talking about this at work and i think that's exactly the mindset? people wanting and expecting things to be instant and effortless

@amorphophalex honestly the fact that they don't understand technology is probably WHY they like AI

A Tumblr post by burningsprite:
"people think transitioning is a gradual gradient, that if you wait long enough the person transitioning becomes someone else. it isn't all like that. a ton of it is piecemeal. it's bit by bit, manually grabbed, big and small, heavy and light. it's accepting that thing you always did as okay. it's deciding to shave and how and where and how often. it's becoming okay with getting old. it's doing that thing you always wanted to do (wearing rave pants and a sports bra to the club in the summer was that for me.) it's learning rules and being there for people in big and small ways. it's realizing you're alive one day. it's deciding, piece by piece, to transition, to grab that forbidden fruit and take bite after bite after bite on purpose for your own wellbeing. it's loving yourself. it's healing, physically and mentally and doing it on purpose. being told it's wrong. knowing it's right."

cause if it doesn’t, this all just gets normalized bc ppl want to cling to the things they still have rather than risk something better (or they know that their current position means, on balance, if things get better for others it’ll get worse for them)

i feel like one of my points of disconnect is that when i talk about crumbling institutions and widespread corruption undermining society, most ppl listening are going “oh god what if society collapses” and i’m going “oh god what it doesnt”

I once saw a photograph of graffiti in Japan near a subway and it read (translated):

"We can't go back to normal, because the normal we had was precisely the problem."

That was in 2020, during the early days of the pandemic, and the lockdowns.

I think about that a lot.
