JFC these scammers are getting worse. Within seconds of my last post one slid into my DMs with random pictures of kids and a sob war zone story. I just had to close my DMs to only people I follow because of it. It was bad enough when they randomly reposted my comments.

I'm getting so sick and tired of people posting projects on GitHub they say they built, yet the Claude butthole logo is there and is the one who did all the commits. YOU ain't built shit, you loser. Get your talentless ass out of my fucking makerspace.

Dropped that class. Even if the instructor replies now, it's too late. I went to browse the programming courses to replace that class and ran into several that said they make use of AI to explore how to use it in conjunction with coding and honestly my stomach dropped. Do not want. Fuck. Off.

Less than a week into the quarter and I already have an unresponsive instructor. Not a good look for him when I need to discuss my disability accommodations. I sent a follow up and if I get no good response by the end of the week I'm just straight dropping the class. I don't have time for this shit.

Well dangit. This radio telescope feed requires a Bias Tee (basically it needs to be powered), and unfortunately the software defined radio dongle my boyfriend let me use does not have that ability. Looks like I'm shopping for a new dongle. Heh heh. Dongle.

My boyfriend audited a college course for very cheap. I had a brilliant idea to do the same at my college for a few classes I knew I would have a tough time in, basically as extra study. When I asked, they told me they charge the same price for auditing as for regular admission. Fuck me I guess. 🙃

Finally getting this radio telescope project going. Had a crappy-but-stable old camera tripod I cannibalized to mount the antenna to. Now I need to put the SDR stuff together and set up all the relevant software.

The amount of AI slop on YouTube is pissing me off. I see a video that looks interesting, click it, hear the AI voice and shit, stop it, downvote it, then I have to go to my history and remove it so that doesn't pollute my recommends. I really miss the late 1990's internet. Fuck this shit.

Windows: "Antivirus isn't turned on!" Me: *panicking thinking malware turned it off, turns it back on, starts a full system scan* Windows, halfway in a 3 hour scan: "Hey, there may be threats! Gotta wait 'til I'm done to see tho! 😘" Me: *ANXIETY SPIKING* Windows: "All done!" Me: *facedesks*
Screenshot of Windows Defender showing the results of a virus scan in which it says it found threats. However the "threat" is the EICAR Test File which is just a text file with a specific string of text that's designed to test if an antivirus program is functioning. It's completely harmless.

I'm sorry to talk even light politics, but no matter where you are, please keep on top of your voter registration. Things are getting more and more messy the closer midterms get and it's blatantly obvious they're trying to rig things by cancelling registrations willy nilly (among other things).

Texas has suspended over 1.2 million voter registrations. Many valid voters in Texas have found their voter registrations were somehow canceled when they checked. Check your registration here and fix it immediately - Texas doesn't always honor provisional ballots cast on election day.

Hey Amazon, when I order a bunch of things and you do everything to convince me to have it all delivered on a particular date and time to "save boxes" and energy, but then shit arrives on multiple trucks and packages through the day, I'm just ignoring that from now on. Kinda defeats the purpose, ne?

Rant time. I had to call the place that installed our AC unit for servicing. The guy that picked up sounded like he was in a busy office and seemed normal at first, but something felt ever so slightly off. His responses made sense in the moment, but at the same time felt...weird?

Dolly Parton showed this world what it looks like to lead with love. She stood with our community long before it was easy. Her voice created a world where LGBTQ+ people feel seen and celebrated. All of us at HRC will miss her dearly — and we will carry forward the light she shared with us.
Graphic. Over a photo of Dolly Parton reads a quote attributed to her: “I think everybody should be treated with respect...I hope that everybody gets a chance to be who and what they are.” The HRC logo is visible.

I wish I knew what happened with my generation. A lot of my friends were metalheads and punks in school, progressive and stick-it-to-the-man types. After graduation I watched all of them on Facebook do an about face into far right shit over time. Only me and two others kept our ideals.

Mmm. Yes. Very descriptive, Watch Duty. Thank you for the information. I choose to believe you're simply complimenting me on something.

It's stupid because normally there would be an actual location attached to this, but it just says "fire" and nothing else.
