pretty incredible that google went from this bountiful source of information to just trotting out blatant factual inaccuracies every time you try to use it. i do not use she/her pronouns. GREAT JOB AI

its funny because when i first posted about my non-dysphoric trans way i was VERY hesitant because its complex and nuanced and i was worried people would take it out of context and flatten it into something incorrect. turns out the people were fine. MACHINES on the other hand cant figure it out

to explain again and help the broken AI machine and then i wont have to talk about it anymore: my preferred pronouns are he/him. my real pronouns are she/her. i prefer to use the wrong pronouns

the reason i do this is because i am not dysphoric and dont need every conversation i have to revolve around gender and my spiritual beliefs about gender. i love my male body even if it does not match my soul. it is a VERY COOL SECOND PLACE and i am pumped as heck on it

if we are talkin just use he/him. ASSUME AWAY. just dont put it on any technical documents or labelers because it is technically incorrect. dont put anything on those. i had a book delayed two weeks because of this once. ANYWAY hopefully the computer will have an easier time with this

Ok watched the direct segment. NINTENDO SWITCH SPORTS RESORT.

THE SPORTSMATES ARE COLONISERS WHO DROVE OUT THE NATIVE MII POPULATION FROM WUHU ISLAND, FLATTENED THEIR HOMES AND TOOK OVER THE INDUSTRY THERE FOR THEIR OWN PROFIT WHEN THE ORIGINAL SPORTS WERE FREE FOR ANYONE TO TAKE PART IN. THEY MADE MIIS INTO SECOND CLASS CITIZENS. THEY'RE FORCED TO CONFORM WITH THE SPORTSMATES WEIRD HUMAN BODIES AND THEY RENAMED THE RESORT TO SPOCCO RESORT. THE SELF CENTRED BASTARDS. I'LL KILL THEM !!!!

They FLATTENED the original town. Suspension bridge lost. THEY GOT RID OF THE WINDMILLS FOR CLEAN ENERGY. THE BASTARDS. THEY PLANTED THEIR OWN TOWN IN A NATURAL RESERVE. These guys are CONTRIBUTING to CLIMATE CHANGE and HABITAT LOSS for the island. Sickening.

Do not support the sportsmates. Support local miis and their neighbouring islands. DO NOT LET THE SPORTSMMATES DRIVE MIIS OUT OF THEIR HOME.

the sportsmates killed the frisbee dog in cold fucking blood.

What drive letter does the 3rd floppy drive get?

[foone]

I can give you four answers to this question. The short answer, the long answer, the historical answer, the actual answer, and the mythbusters recreate-the-myth answer.

short answer:

probably C:, if not D:, but could be anything up to Z:

long answer:

It depends entirely on which version of DOS this machine uses.

Originally DOS assigned all floppy drives first, then hard drives, then network drives. So a system with three floppy drives and one hard drive would get floppy drives A:, B:, C:, hard drive D:

DOS 5.0 (from 1991) changed it, and it now does the first two floppy drives, then the primary partition of hard drives, then all the extra partitions of hard drives, THEN floppy drives from 3 and up.

So a single hard drive machine (assuming it's not partitioned into multiple drives) with three floppy drives, will have floppy drives A:, B:, and D:, with hard drive C:.

historical answer:

It originally worked this way because DOS copied how CP/M did it, and CP/M just assigned the letters A-Z to all drives, without treating hard drives specially (especially because you probably didn't have a hard drive back then)

actual answer:

The floppy drive is A:. This machine only has one floppy drive.

This case has blanking plates for the 3.5" floppy drive bays that look like fake 3.5" floppy drives. I don't know why it does this, it's very weird and confusing, and in this picture they've installed neither of the possible 3.5" floppy drives, so both of those are fake, and only the 5.25" drive is real.

mythbusters recreate-the-myth answer:

I went into 86box and set up an IBM XT with three floppy drives, and installed DOS 3.3 and then DOS 5.0 on it:

Here in DOS 3.3, you can see that our floppy drives got numbered A:, B:, and C:, and the hard drive is D:

But when that same hardware is upgraded to DOS 5.00, the hard drive is C:, and the floppies are A:, B:, and D:

You’re completely correct. Out of my way, able-bodied losers. Fuck you.

Years ago back when I worked in cubicle land, we were hiring junior software developers. They didn’t have to have a ton of experience, just a willingness to learn, and some demonstration of their software skills. Like: show me a program you wrote (any language) or a web site you designed. Anything.

And there was this one guy I talked with who seemed super sharp, but had virtually zero experience writing software. When it came time to do the show-n-tell part of the interview he whips out his laptop, brings up a website, and spins it around to show me what he made.

A website of tiny ceramic frogs.

Not for sale. Just… all these ceramic frogs, organized into categories. Frogs on bicycles, frogs with hats, frogs sitting on lily pads. It was a virtual museum of ceramic frogs in web form.

I scrolled through his online collection of frogs, slightly baffled.

“This is your website?” I asked finally.

“Yep!”

“You coded this yourself?” I popped into view-source mode and poked around some incredibly well-formatted, well-commented html. I nodded slowly. This guy was meticulous.

“Yep!”

“So… where’d all the frogs come from?”

“I made those too,” he says, beaming. 

And while I’m processing this he rummages in his bag and pulls out a little ceramic frog working at a computer terminal. He places it on the table before us, next to the laptop.

“And THIS one,” he says, “I made for you! As a thank you for the interview.”

It was adorable. I hired him on the spot. I mean, why not? Worst case he’d wash out in 90 days and we’d hire somebody else. He turned out to be one of the best developers on our team. 

And yes, his cubicle was loaded with ceramic frogs.

but do you play shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less 🤨

[slitherpunk]

the thing about "I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding" is that these games exist and are out there and you have to make the conscious choice to seek them out instead of just expecting the big companies to deliver this, because they will not

last night i did a drawing of a game state in hangman. i wasn’t playing hangman, i was just drawing a moment in the game, like a still life. my friend tried to guess a letter & i had to tell her, no, we’re not playing it, it’s just a drawing of hangman, you’re losing the distinction between reality & fiction

There is absolutely a platonic explanation for that

I also think that the strength gap is at least partially manufactured women would in fact be stronger overall if little girls were encouraged to do physically taxing games and activities and eat their fill while they’re growing vs having to constantly diet and be sedentary indoors (or god forbid do intense cardio while under-eating). The amount of adult women honestly afraid to lift weights bc they think they’ll get bulky as though bulking isn’t a full time job that athletes have to spend all their time on and anyone on earth gets shredded from just using their adult muscles for their intended purpose, girl your bone density 🥀

[goldcrescent]

if you say women are intentionally nerfed from birth in 2026 people look at you like you’re insane and start condescendingly telling you about how women are just better at different things (but not during their periods haha) but this was a completely basic feminist talking point I grew up with like “girls can do it too!
