Trans Finder is so popular that it literally CRASHED my Mastodon instance for several hours
I'm unemployed and REALLY need money so uuuuhhh
If I said "send me like, $5 or something on Ko-Fi" would folks be interested in getting one with [insert pride flag of your choice] ?
They're 2133 x 2133 pixels and I'll send you the PNG and a PSD if you want it
I can probably figure out how to make them actually replace the finder icon if you use a Mac, too

This got so popular that it broke my instance lmao
I did an Ace mac for myself while waiting for it to come back online
Gimme the s n a c k s
I know it's a tiny thing but this made my day noticably brighter
(I'm not having a bad day this just made it a *better* day)
I did the "popular thing" and made a video essay about the absolute misery of the "modern internet" and how we got here
Give it a watch maybe? <3
Not to criticize the folks who genuinely will benefit from this
But the last thing anyone has ever willingly said is "Yes, Microsoft"
And I mean that about any-fucking-thing they do
If you're cold I'm cold
Let me in and give me snacks
Someone in my Discord offered a $100 bounty for every broken game folks could get running on XP
I chose Chicken Run
I regret my decision
Oh yeah it's that time of year again
Thank god Discord has trained all of its users to ignore the stupid little pithy messages that pop up when the program loads
And then tries to use it to alert users to errors when the program fails to log in
Took me like 5 fucking minutes to realize it's not just some stupid "GAAAAAAAAAAMERS" joke printed for once and was an actual status message
Oops I got given *another* G5 Mac (Dual 2.5Ghz)
And two 17" Apple monitors for $10 each
That's okay Resident Evil
I also haven't been able to run since Windows 95
THEY. TOOK. MY. GAAAARBAAAAAAAAGE
Signed the lease to my new workshop on Thursday
Moved in Saturday
Internet install was *today* (Monday)
Turns out when they re-painted the unit from the last tenant, the painters fucking ripped the fiber ONT off the wall, cut the fiber cable and just lazily stuffed it back into the wall
Then stuck a blank network plate over it
So I got to do my favourite hobby and write a SUPREMELY BITCHY "corporate email"
The "I'm being polite and formal but in reality I am PERCOLATING WITH RAGE" kind
He's compensating in hell now
NICE
FUCKEN

Migrating to @CursedSilicon@social.treehouse.systems little by little
S'been been a fun ride but Restless Systems Mastodon is being wound down
@miss_rodent@girlcock.club FINALLY someone understands
"We have Command & Conquer at home"
I don't wanna overstate this
But I would rather shit in my hands and clap than run a PowerVR graphics card
Replying to
To be clear, I usually just talk about computer things over in my retro Discord these days
Not because I *like* Discord. But because it's a nice little community of queer nerds who like old computers
And because almost all my energies of late have been going into CGHMN

Jollibee, or "what if we sold 6 pieces of mediocre chicken for $19.99 vs Safeway's 8 for $7.99"
Good chicken burgers tho

@VANTABlack2000@mastodon.gamedev.place It's because the sociopat- sorry "tech bros" don't *understand* art
They truly believe it's something you can just wring out through "programming" because well, they're billionaires. Obviously they're polymaths too. So why shouldn't "art" be within their reach?
