Bonus: If I buy a book I get to keep it! The publisher can't turn up at my house at random and confiscate all the books I bought.

It is the month of pride, have fun and be jolly and gay.

I shall wait for the month of sloth as I am but an eppy being.

It is the time of year I remember a book I once read entitled the "Queer little Boy" it was written between when words had meanings and was about a queer little boy who was very gay and dressed as a fairy dress, wings and all until he met a fairy princess who he thought was very gay herself, he then grew up to be a mechanic if memory serves. I am wishing the queer little gay kids a very gay time, I hope they stay as queer as their hearts designer.

Just did the math and as long as I don't outright fail this assignment I pass the class. I mean- it's a big 50% assignment so I want to do well but it really shows I do better with lots of tinny assignments and crumble under big ones.

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

[estro-boi]

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

please learn to torrent

So many how to write essay guides are just how to use AI like- I'm sorry if you didn't find the sources yourself I do disregard you are a writer. You didn't find your sources and expect any level of credibility? If someone wanted AI to write an essay why would they use you as a middleman who just rewrites it in their own words? Where is the reflection, the links between descovories, what's the journey if it's all in prompts.

Maybe this is just getting to me more cos I'm researching the ability to research so- yeah.

They want to put data centers in Australia, you know that place that runs out of water? That place? The one that is dry and known for fire? If only we had a system that said how bad those fires would be if they broke out that advises when you least want to start a fire to do harm. But honestly- It's just disapointing. Fuck Abeneasy, I don't respect him enough to look up his name cos fr. The two major parties suck, there is a reassion I vote minor ones. Fusion and Soicalist.

I'm banning myself from complaining without offering a solution:

Make a Tax Deductible Donation to Greenpeace Australia Pacific

Together, we can speak out for our planet. Greenpeace works independently, powered by supporters just like you. Your donation helps to ensur

I visited a shopping center that is known for memes about 'so happy to be there for propels first day on earth" cos people have such bad spacial awareness at that shopping center in particular and when I say you could feel it in the air- people were walking so shit I forgot you could do that??? It was like everyone's routing was turned off.

Maybe be careful with the latest Firefox update.

[mint-offical]

Firefox update turned the AI bloat back on, 26 tabs do not need to be that large- (I'm writing a paper hence the tab count.)

I got an extension for my school work cos I've been sick. Remember to get your flu shot. I've only gotten colds since getting the flu shot yearly and it's nice to do my part in strengthening community immunity. Asymptomatic illness is far more common than you might think. Cold>>>>flu

Side note idk how I got this bug but SS of how it looks as I type this under the cut.

A fun bonus fact for you: those No Longer Buyable DVDs?

They're the ONLY surviving NONDAMAGED form of the show. In the late 90s, the masters from which the show is printed were damaged with a red-pink hazy filter.

So. Good luck buying them even if you find them. They're some of the most valuable collector's items in the entire franchise.

Without piracy, there would be NO UNDAMAGED COPIES OF SAILOR MOON AVAILABLE TO ANYONE ANYWHERE, PERIOD.

ETA: Because these undamaged copies are how you colour correct the uncensored ones.

Piracy Is Preservation.
