What fresh hell is this? @totalsynthetic - Tumblr Blog

Not to tell anyone in a horror story what to do, but:

Forests are normally loud.

They're full of life. There's endless animals that live there. They make noises. Lots of them.

If you ever are in a forest and it's quiet, that's not right. That means something is very wrong. You should probably either be similarly quiet until you can figure out what's going on, or you should get out of there very quickly.

the second worst thing about the recent surge (no pun intended) in robotgirl posting is that I'm a reverse engineer, and an asexual one at that. if I met a robotgirl we wouldn't have weird sex, I'd open up all her panels and take pictures of her PCBs and figure out what all the chips are and dump her EEPROMs and hard drive image and upload this to archive.org

the worst thing is that most of you robot girl posters would enjoy it

Excuse me, in the context of robotgirls, it's not called "free use", it's instead "open source"

It's important to me that everyone understands that if you've got an autistic friend who periodically sends you pictures/videos/whatever of your Thing, because they know you're into it... They love you.

Now don't get me wrong, It may not necessarily be romantic love, they might not want to run off to a little farm in Montana where you'll be married forever and raise little sheeps...

But they definitely love you. And they're so happy when they spot a post about X and go "ooh, my friend likes X! I'll send it to them!".

Because they love you and want you to be happy.

Neurotypical people might do this too for the same reason, but I can't speak for them. I don't understand how they work.

That's rough. I've got a friend who is still on t1t and they have to load their gender off a 5.25" floppy disk every morning.

And a couple years back I saw one of the developers of MS-GOS (Microsoft Gender Operating System) at VGF (Vintage Gender Festival) explain how, back in the day, he was working on t0t and had to toggle a gender bootloader into the front panel every day just to have a driver to load the rest of his gender off paper tape.

One of these beauties.

Something that I think should be an important part of solarpunk aesthetics is screws.

Look at your smartphone. No screws. You've got to have specialized tools to get inside your phone to repair something. There are certain pieces of tech that are glued in place and glue can't be undone without permanently breaking the bond.

But screws!

You can take apart a broken old radio, repair what's broken, and, if you were careful in taking it apart, you can put it back together and have a fully functioning radio and all you need is a common screwdriver!

It's hard to build screws and other mechanical fasteners because it requires more planning than clamps and glues, but isn't that what solarpunk is all about‽ It's about care and sustainability and and a radio or a computer built carefully with repair in mind is a sustainable computer that stays out of landfills and in use.

Screws are proof that God loves us and wants us to fix shit

I see people talking about the Brave browser in the whole Firefox vs chrome debate, and while people rightly point out that it's just chromium and that they do shady cryptocurrency shit, I never see anyone point out that Brave's founder and CEO is Brandan Eich.

He founded Brave after massive protests against him becoming CEO of Mozilla, resigning after 11 days. And the reason for those protests? He donated a lot of money to the Prop 8 campaign to ban gay marriage.

So just remember: it's not just another chromium fork, it's not just a browser with cryptocurrency bullshit, it's also the browser founded by a homophobe because he got kicked out of his former organization for being a homophobe.

Also, he invented Javascript. I'm willing to believe that maybe he has grown on the gay marriage issue, and made amends for his former mistakes. But Javascript cannot be forgiven.
