Somehow I feel like this disconnect being discussed in this post is exactly why the untalented and unskilled think that AI isn't a problem. Because they think they can do it too, so they use software that rips you off so that they can say they did something
abstract and modern art haters are sooo snobby like klein literally Created an entirely new pigment and then painted a canvas in a way where the brush strokes wouldn't be visible. the insinuation that people with no skill could reproduce that is so annoying because unless you are skilled at color mixing and painting you definitely couldn’t lmao

You've Been Severed
Sometimes I struggle to think of topics to write about on my blog, and as anyone reading might see, the topics are all over the place. In order to continue that tradition, but to keep it in the same kind of theme I’ve been rolling with lately: Liminality.
I wrote about the Backrooms and how ominously cool it is, or at least some of it. It makes me think of what it might be like to escape to a…

New at [REVOSA]: Nano Nexus (Void Edition)
Brand new at [REVOSA] (my Second Life store), and after quite a bit of time, the Nano Nexus line of shorts has received a “void” edition! Like previous shorts, this is fit for legacy, reborn, and maitreya, and is colored in ALL BLACK!
It has been quite some time since I’ve released anything, and my store over-all has had a much slower drip feed of products. This is partially due to my working…

The Toll it Takes: Isolation, Transness, & the Disappointment That Are Other People
I wanted to write a story here, in as much a condensed manner as I can, about things I’ve grappled with, and had going on years ago, and am dealing with the fallout from, even today. But it’s complicated, it’s messy, it’s not fun or happy; it’s not a road I’ve gone down in a cohesive way in a single blog post.
Back in 2012 I began a transition in the form of taking female hormones, and to skip…

Prompt: What’s Your Morning Ritual?
What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
On most mornings I find myself literally crawling out of bed. See, I sleep on top of a mattress that’s topped with memory foam, that’s also topped with more memory foam. I basically sleep in one gushy square of foam, so getting up out of it is kind of a chore sometimes. To add to that, I also have a 15 pound weighted…

*hacker voice* I'm In, the XZ Fiasco
As some who visit this blog, and also my Patreon, may know, for the past month or so, I’ve gone headfirst completely into Linux leaving Windows in the dust like the roadrunner escaping the coyote. This was largely due-in-part to Microsoft’s forced “artificial intelligence” injections into every single piece of its software (and possible subscription requirements in future versions of…

The Year is 1995
You’re sitting at a wooden desk in front of a mammoth of a PC tower. It’s beige and blocky; the buttons are chunky. Its idling sounds like the low hum of an aircraft taking off, and the hard drive clicks like a woodpecker having a seizure.
It’s late November 1995, and you’ve just installed the new Windows … 95. This was a process that took many hours, as you had to reformat your hard drive, and…

Prompt: Comprehension, and Einstein's Theory of Relativity
What’s something most people don’t understand?
This is an interesting prompt, because there is no way in the world I could possibly know what the average consensus of people usually don’t understand. I could say, “Most people don’t understand that the genre of Cyberpunk is a warning, not an aspiration.” But, is that true? Is that really something most people don’t understand?
Who knows? I’m…

#Threadipact
As some, or many, may know, a lot, or maybe even just a few instances across the activitypub fediverse have pacted to block federation with the corporate giant Meta, or to be more specific, Threads. Threads is a new take on the Twitter experience, meant to be a kinder, less hostile place to post. All-in-all, after about six or seven months, I might call it only really marginally better. Or, just…

Prompt: Just Say No
How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?
This is kind of an ambiguous question, at least for me, because I have a lot of goals. But by and large, most of my goals have to do with either learning new things, doing creative work in my free time, and advancing at work.
In the past four years I’ve always said “No” to things that got in the way of my … work goals.…

The "FediPact" & How to Make Your Own Choices
Ever since Meta launched Threads, there have been talks around Mastodon and the rest of the fediverse about what will happen when Threads eventually makes a full ActivityPub connection. The main worry is that data collection will increase across the fediverse, and smaller instances will be snuffed out by extreme user demands (having to do with profile and media storage), and so on.
And,…

Create a Bootable Debian Flash Drive
In my last post, I suggested you, the reader, abandon Windows, jump ship, get out while you still can, and dive directly into Debian. What I didn’t talk about, was how to create a bootable flash drive so that you can install it! This is, of course, sparsely detailed on the Debian Wiki itself, and maybe across many different websites.
More often than not, I find when I’m looking for instructions…

Apt Install Blog_Post
I’ve avoided writing anything for a bit, maybe a week or so, or more? I lose count of days sometimes. I haven’t really written much for my book, and I’ve made drafts on here but haven’t published. I think it’s mostly to do with my writing-brain needing constant breaks.
But that’s beside the point, because recently I made the full-switch away from Windows 11 straight to Debian 12. After a lot of…

Prompt: Failure and Success
How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?
In my lifetime I’ve failed many times, and I’ve had many successes. There are things I fail at more than others, but the one big takeaway is that failure precludes success.
What I mean by that, is that I fully believe in the idea that, if at first you don’t succeed, try again.
It’s been something that’s worked for me my…

Neo Machina: Not Closed!
Hey, what do you know? I changed my mind (previous post has been set to private). Basically, the past … I guess five months, I’ve been having a lot of financial anxiety. Everything’s expensive, credit cards don’t ever seem to be going down. I told myself I was going to close Neo Machina until I pay down a few cards, and then reopen it.
And I let that idea simmer for about half a week, until I…
