Reposted by JabeVeronika Simms @veronikasimms.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It drives me insane when people see anything trans as political. We've gotten to the point where anti trans people think a pride flag is a political statement. There is no anti trans argument that isn't a lie, misinformation, or fallacy, and that's because the anti trans side is evil 0724
Jabe @nominalindltd.bsky.social · 03/10/2026most of my job is a lot of VERY gently telling people they made a mistake, showing them the impact of their mistake, and then giving them everything they need to be able to fix it the response I get is usually get is either "huh?" or "NO, *U* FIX" and I guarantee you all of those people LOVE AI 000
Jabe @nominalindltd.bsky.social · 02/10/2026to be clear, "generative" in this context really just means I use a whole lot of low-frequency oscillators to influence a lot of other stuff and then sometimes also themselves, and tweak it until it sounds musical enough to do a live jam over. It's like surfing except audio and I make my own waves 000
Jabe @nominalindltd.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Anyway, yeah, not a good time for me to be doing the stuff that I love (still doing it anyway). I never really released most of it because it's something I do mostly for me but I definitely wouldn't do it NOW- it'd get stolen or otherwise misinterpreted by people who don't care what they're hearing 000

Its also tied to an app on your phone, so limited comms if your phone is borked. But it can still send a location ping and SOS on its own!
