Chaos in the Operating System @op-sys-chaos - Tumblr Blog

Masterpost

Hi everyone! If you don't know me, my main blog is @op-sys-chaos and I write both original content and fanfiction. I wanted to have a blog specifically to talk about the things I'm writing, so that's this!

If you'd like to quickly recieve updates for any of my works, please subscribe to the individual post I'll be making for each of these that are incomplete! (I'll make a subscription post and a discussions post so people can have a place to follow for updates and a place to talk about it for each without spamming the subscribed people.) Updates will not be consistent for any of these.

Without further ado, here's the masterlist of everything I've created or am working on, with links attached to the titles and lists for the associated posts below:

It would be kind of fun to have a medical dramamedy show where people (patients and people in the medical field) could submit their craziest experiences with the medical system and those plotlines and patient stories could be dramatized and woven into a cohesive narrative with any additional profits from the show going to pay off medical debt.

Plotline A: Patient is suffering from a near fatal case of hypothermia after passing out in the snow drunk and laying there all night until his 13 year old nephew discovered him in the morning, said 13 year old managed to transport his druncle to the hospital on a snowmobile but the rest of the family cannot make it there due to road conditions.

Plotline B: A live rat fell through the ceiling halfway through an emergency appendectomy, causing the surgeon to startle and rupture the patient’s appendix. Infectious disease is very interested in the situation due to the risk of zoonotic infection. The hospital’s legal department is also very interested in the situation.

The one thing I can articulate is that no amount of being disabled can prevent you from being ableist. Especially towards people with different impairment types or more severe disability.

Duke Thomas Starter Pack

Do YOU want to get into the character of all time, Duke Thomas? Are you not sure where to start? Here's a variety of resources to learn more about him! Comic and non-comic resources included :).

Basic Information

Here's a collection of Duke Thomas profiles for you to peruse! Check the reblogs for additional info.

Here's Duke Thomas' wiki page on DC fandom wiki.

Here's the Duke Thomas wiki, called the Hatch!

Reading Lists

@duketectivecomics has a great one here!

@searchforahero has a bunch of Duke resources, including a website list and a spreadsheet, here!

@haithhegimp has a colour-coded spreadsheet of all Duke's appearance here!

@s-darling-art has a nice streamlined list of important Duke comics here + a good Elseworlds list (and bonus Jace Fox list)!

If you want to follow Duke's story in-universe chronologically, check out DCU chronology guide!

Backstory

Duke's backstory is contained within Batman (2011), in the arcs Zero Year (where Duke and Bruce first meet) and Endgame (where Duke's parents get Jokerized). Read Batman (2011) #21 - 40 for the full story. For just the Duke bits, read: #21, 30, 33, 35, 37, 38, 39.

Starter Comic

If the reading lists look a little daunting, a good place to start would be the 12-issue comic series We Are Robin. The first six issues are relatively self-contained and a great introduction to Duke and his friends!

Further Reading

Read some Duke Thomas meta that I personally enjoy!

@himejoshiangels has a wonderful wonderful fic rec list for Duke-centric works!

Some Duke Thomas-related interviews excerpts I find interesting!

Amazing and comprehensive Duke writing advice from @inkpotsprite!

If you don't know where to read comics, consider searching 'read comics online' in Google... or check out this thread from r/Piracy.

Not reading but you can check out the adorable kid's show Batwheels for some Cass!Batgirl and Dukebin goodness.

Once the Batwheels generation grows up Duke will be everywhere so hop on the train early and join Duke nation 🥰🥰🥰

i saw someone say nobody needs to know what a .txt file is anymore. what the fuck is the world coming to

dreamsy990

unironically i think we need to bring back computer labs because APPARENTLY some people WERENT taught basic computer literacy and internet safety in school

dreamsy990

things about computers/the internet i think kids should be formally taught in schools because theyre important to know and the amount of soon to be grown adults i know who know NOTHING about any of these is quite frankly almost all of them (and resources to learn if you dont know these things, because its never to late to get better with computers)

how to troubleshoot by yourself when you have a technical problem

what common file types are

some very basics on how to use ""developer tools"" on your computer (because i cant think of a better way to refer to them) like task manager and command prompt (and their mac equivalents, terminal and activity monitor ofc)

how to read and understand a privacy policy and what your personal data is, as well as what it being collected actually means and steps you can take to keep it private

how to understand terms of service (hey. if you have trouble with reading legalese and worry about being able to understand these policies anyways, here's a site that gives basic summaries of privacy policies and ToS)

what a cookie actually is

internet privacy and your digital footprint!! seriously i dont know why we stopped teaching people that they shouldnt be putting their entire real identity online in a world where your online actions can ruin you irl

basic safety measures like antivirus software (and why you should use it or if the built in one on windows or mac is enough for you) and backing up your computer (also a mac guide)

common keyboard shortcuts (and on mac)

as an additional note: things i think everyone should know on computers and the internet but schools may bit hesitant to teach about for whatever moral/legal standards schools pretend to operate on

vpns and adblockers! (btw for most of these where you can pay for things im purposefully not recommending any specific software but seriously just use ublock origin for an adblocker)

how to not get a virus while pirating something

what a temporary email is and when to use one

red flags that you shouldn't trust a website (and how to quickly check the security of a site)

what javascript on a website does and how to disable it to get around paywalls

dreamsy990

ok one last addition! if you want to take it one level higher, i think learning the very basics of at least one programming language is good for people. it makes computers less scary and it makes you feel very cool, and a lot of people get discouraged about it because it seems overly complicated and hard to learn outside a formal classroom setting, so heres some resources for learning the very basics of python (because i consider it the easiest language to learn and knowing one language will make it easier to learn others)

an online compiler so you dont need to download anything or worry about running code directly on your computer if that makes you nervous

a basic video guide to introduce you to python and walk you through beginner steps

a guide to some syntax and commands you should know (this was literally my lifeline in my first CS class)

some performance tasks to give you things to code to practice and assess yourself

biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist

insane some people don't use ad blockers? babe why r u rawdogging the internet

biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist

it's a CESSPIT out there. wrap it before ya tap it babes!!!

biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist

the notes are insane

"im on mobile" adblocking exists for mobile

"im broke :(" ADBLOCKING IS FREE

"im lazy" i truly sympathize with executive dysfunction, but this is one of those quality-of-life things you need to prioritize. 3 minutes of research/installation will save you a thousandfold in time and energy. it can even help with brain fog (most people don't realize how much mental energy ads actually steal)

"i like ads" my jaw is on the fucking floor. you chose to live in a sewer, yet you will never be a ninja nor a turtle. you do not have a warrior's heart.

"adblock exists for mobile"

"Adblock is free"

That doesn't sound real but okay.

biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist

*inhaling deeply and reminding myself that Shaking The Baby only endangers the baby, and does not assist it to learn or grow* in spite of everything there are beautiful and important truths within this world that you must learn, and i must help you to learn

Adblock DNS is easy to install! Works for all phones! It works on most ads, but not video or tumblr.

Settings → Network → Private DNS, paste in dns.adguard.com

biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist

⬆️⬆️⬆️ Can confirm, I use this method (alongside others) on android. for iOS the steps are different (and it may be easier to install the AdGuard DNS app instead)

biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist

the above will decrease the amount of ads you see system-wide. however: hands down the BEST ANDROID ADBLOCKING feature is the ability to install Firefox with uBlock Origin enabled.

Install Firefox -> Settings -> Extensions -> uBlock Origin

this only blocks browser ads, but HOLY SHIT does that matter if you try browsing websites over apps when possible. which you should bc it's awesome and gives you SO much more control. E.g. blocks youtube.com ads and you can play videos in the background. works with spotify.com too

Pro tip: toggle on 'Desktop site' to avoid mobile sites that are purposely designed to bully you into using the app. Desktop mode fixes a surprising number of problems

Note: for iOS users this isn't available bc Apple hates your guts, but there are other browser options with built-in adblocking, e.g. Firefox Focus, Brave

“Wow,” Bruce tensed at the unexpected voice, “that was, to be polite, an absolute train wreck.”

“That’s the polite descriptor?” Bruce turned to meet blue eyes, “I shudder to imagine the impolite version.”

The room had been empty. He’d made sure of it before allowing Dick to move their… argument. There were no signs of life on this or the next five floors down. Yet, there he was. A beautiful man, too many years his junior for his thoughts to go straight to the man’s looks, sitting on a stool at a workbench.

“Oh, for sure, you definitely don’t want to hear what else I could describe that as.” The man nodded, bringing Bruce’s attention to the jewelry tucked into the man’s shirt and hidden by his hair. “Ignoring all the stuff I clearly shouldn’t have heard,” which meant he did, in fact, notice the Bat-based vocabulary, “you are terrible at communicating with your kids.”

“Oh?” Bruce strained to sound casual, trying not to give away what all he may have not already.

“Oh yeah. Like, clearly you love your kids. Right?” The man waited for acknowledgment, which Bruce begrudgingly gave, before he continued, “right, so, what’s stopping you from saying it? Just a simple, I’m worried about you going on that inter-dimensional mission because I love you and want you to be safe, would work great. Might even get you brownie points, you know? Instead of what you said, which implied a lack of trust and a sense of derision towards your son’s skills, and was never going to be taken well.” Well. That answered well enough what all the pretty man had heard.

“It’s not that easy,” Bruce frowned at him, debating how many NDAs he’d have to threaten the man into signing.

“Sure it is. Just open your mouth and say the words, let them sit there, and don’t take them back.” Blue met and held blue from across the room before the man rolled his eyes, “right, okay, would it help you to think of it as a series of undefined tasks or a science experiment?”

“The latter,” the former sounded like what he’d already been working with.

“Okay, so pull up a stool,” the man twirled a pen as he pulled over a loose sheet of paper, “and we’ll start with the scientific method: if the big bad Bat communicates ineffectively then his children will be upset because they don’t have empathic abilities. What about this sentence can we change to make it better?”

“My ability to communicate,” Bruce admitted.

“Very good,” the man praised and Bruce wondered if he could get away with slamming the man’s head into the table without it being workplace abuse. Probably not. “So, if the Bat communicates effectively, then…?”

“My children won’t be as upset.”

“Because…?”

“They’ll understand what I mean better.”

“Alright, we now have our hypothesis. Next step is the experiment.”

I think the best most human thing in the world is strangers doing a silly thing together

calamitys-child

Examples:

- guy at work "Yes, and -" ing the bit me and my coworker were doing where we pretended to be owners of a fantasy medieval tavern not minimum wage retail staff

- at the gay club when Die Young by Kesha came on and two hundred people, all dancing and drinking separately, jumped up and down to make the "- beat of the drums *STOMP STOMP*" as loud as possible

- person who watched me stomp round the beach singing a made up song about breakfast foods to name a cat after and suggested more breakfast foods that would be good cat names

- guy who started a dance off with everyone across the road while waiting for the lights to change

- very tiny girl at the pharmacy interviewing everyone in the queue and every single one of us in turn sat down and answered this toddler's questions like we were on Letterman

calamitys-child

The three pillars of humanity, in no particular order, are Joy, Absurdity, and Sharing

reblog if you would never let ai write fanfics for you

batfambrainrotbeloved

I would sooner take weeks onto months to write a single chapter than let a soulless immitation of human creation parrot a mirage of my vision back at me-

Oh and creative integrity aside- suppourting ANY AI includes the enviornmental impact, human rights exploitation, outright slavery??, economic bubble, and about 101 other neg impacts. You cant easily stop all the bad things in the world that you play no part in, but you CAN very easily stop using AI, especially in fandom where it is not welcome.

your inner child is so proud of the writer you’ve become

You're the only Roman senator who wasn't briefed on the whole 'kill Julius Caesar' thing.

“Damnit guys! I was going to kill him next week! You beat me to it! What am I supposed to do with all this poison now????”

writing-prompt-s

Your spells are custom-made for you, by you. Usually it doesn’t change much, but tonight you were robbed and as the thief tried to cast one of your spells, he burned to a husk before he finished the first line. Your party takes a step away from the book.

op-sys-chaos

“I mean, I did warn you guys not to try my spells. Why are you surprised that someone who tried it got hurt??”

“I just… how do you survive them then?”

“Oh, that’s because I know where I put the traps.”

“The what??”

“There’s certain parts of the spell you’re supposed to skip when you read it out loud. I know what to skip to stay safe. Thieves do not.”

“………….”

“What???? What’s so wrong with enforcing magical copyright via murder- okay no I hear it now.”
