Hello! I am mjdxp, an autistic trans woman here to share my interests and to interact with others. Potentially objectionable/uncomfortable posts (such as those mentioning politics, containing AI generated content, sexual content, etc) will be CWed. I usually try to add descriptive alt text for images I post, however boosted content might not have them present.
If you'd like to follow me, please interact with at least one of my posts in any way (favorite, react, boost, reply, anything you want). This is a precaution against botted follow requests. If I reject your follow request and you'd like to know why, you can ask. Sometimes I also reject based on instance, recent posts, etc.
My interests include retro and modern computing, cats, retro gaming, and just generally talking to others.
Follow me for posts about old tech, random things I find interesting, video games, bad jokes, making fun of AI, left wing political opinions, bullying the FSF, Linux, and a lot of boosts of anime girls lol
Current fixations include Atari consoles/computers (specifically the 2600, 5200, 7800, and 8-bit line), Commodore computers (especially the VIC 20 at the moment), Unix systems (specifically Sun Microsystems), fine pewter slabs, and Linux.
I only boost posts with images which I presume are not made with AI. If a photograph or drawing was actually AI generated, let me know and I will remove my boost.
Please DNI if you are pro-AI image generation, if you are bigoted against LGBTQ+, POC, disabled, or neurodivergent people (or other protected minority groups), or if you consider yourself right-wing or hold any right-wing political beliefs.

it actually looks better than the stock android app's pictures, although i don't know how to change the light the shutter lets in (very important for photographing CRTs and some other screens)

i tried taking another one and it literally blurred out my cat's entire face??? luckily it's a setting you can just turn off, but i should probably get a different camera app or something because i'm sure it won't be optional for long ._. he is not happy with this either

@KatyElphinstone@mas.to i need a label to remember what kinds of cables go into that box, or else they'll all get mixed up and it'll be very annoying

it's so cool how when minecraft's authentication servers go down (which seems to happen constantly), i can't even play the game i paid for in offline mode
i started a new pokemon explorers of sky randomizer run, the first personality test question was this while extremely ominous music played
starting a new thread to talk about terminal stuff
the terminal apps which apple ships with the mac is kind of weird. it comes with vim which isn't really too surprising, but it also comes with pico for some reason? it doesn't even come with pine, so i'm not sure why they don't just ship nano. emacs isn't here

- google chrome: allows for anonymous online browsing via "incognito mode"
- notepad++: a favorite programming software of hackers, used to write code
- roblox: allows hackers to meet up virtually and discuss hacking attacks
- microsoft excel: contains programming tools often used by hackers
- microsoft powerpoint: used by hackers to present information to each other
- steam: an online storefront for distribution of malware (malicious software)
- linux: a computer system created by the military for foreign surveillance of enemy states
- command prompt: allows hackers to run viruses

i thought i'd look up what modern composite switch boxes look like, and they seem to be pretty much the same. i'm a bit surprised you don't need a power cable on modern ones (yeah, i know it's just passing through the connection, but i'd expect some unnecessary overengineering from modern tech because that's what the industry is now).
by the way, here's an image listed for one of them. that's not an NES, and i don't think anyone's jumping on one of these because of the sega saturn
god, i really kind of hate modern minecraft, i'm trying to play the new snapshot but for some god forsaken reason, when you have toggle sneak on and you open your inventory while sneaking, it makes you unsneak. i've fallen off several blocks already because of that and almost died in lava. why does mojang love ruining things

@lunareclipse@snug.moe people use AI because they're lazy and using AI is easier than writing code yourself
