Contemplating not getting a new display, and opting to replace my GTX 1070 with a 6700XT 12GB instead. The 7600 exists, but only has 8GB.Will push my 7700K to its limits, but still worth it, I think?

Or we blow it on hookers and cocaine. I'm sure we can get a sitter.

FEDI POLICE: THIS IS A JOKE. JOKES ARE STATEMENTS INTENDED TO MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH. "LAUGHING" IS WHAT HUMANS DO WHEN THEY EXPERIENCE HAPPINESS. DO NOT FEDIBLOCK ME. I REPEAT, DO NOT FEDIBLOCK ME. WE ARE NOT REALLY GOING TO BLOW OUR MONEY ON HOOKERS AND COCAINE.

I wanted to write this but chose to hug my children more instead. I'm glad someone else wrote it instead.https://twokitties.neocities.org/

There's a variety of reasons I decided not to write this.1) I'm not queer. I'm not trans. I'm not a harassment target for the .art/TBS clique. Despite countless harsh posts and boosts, I have not received a single bit of harassment... Because I'm a straight white cis male with a generic profile and photo - and a 450000 monthly readers tech news site. They are never going to target me. Cowards.2) I'm still quite new to the Fediverse. I don't know enough.3) I'm bad at search.

Let me remind you that I actively engaged with the Nivenly Foundation, asking them to disassociate from TBS. They replied saying TBS would not be the only option during setup. I replied that sure, that may be the case, but for now you're still pushing a transphobic blocklist, and I'm sure you don't want to be associated with transphobia?They never replied to that one. Full silence.Telling.

@hrefna For sure, but I asked Nivenly about it *afterwards* (and I'm sure I wasn't alone). Yet... It's all still up there. No word about it, at all. Not even a "we're looking into this, give us some time". Just silence.And yet, the people involved with TBS have kept on harassing trans and queer people, as has been well documented by now. I'm sure you can understand just how scared so many trans and queer folk on Fedi are about this, and have been for months now.

@hrefna Alright, I'll ignore the concerns of the trans and queer folk I follow about the relationship between TBS and Nivenly, then, since it seems relaying and amplifying these concerns is not something I'm supposed to do!I'm genuinely sorry for this.

Still getting abuse for a problem I did *not* cause. No apology, no rectification, no nothing from Asahi, who seem to enjoy this unwarranted abuse they sent my way.Interestingly enough, in their article about this, The Register made the exact same "mistake" I did because of the deliberately unclear GitHub article, yet there's no angry posts, demands, or abuse sent their way. I guess targeting the little guys is all Asahi can do.

I use #Fedora, but after the unwarranted harassment Asahi sent my way today, Fedora's active participation in Asahi is making me reconsider.

@stefano A simple "hey, this thing you said is actually wrong, but we didn't mention it in the GitHub article you're working off, so sorry about that. Could you fix it?" would've been enough. The article would've been fixed in a few minutes.

@stefano Asahi doesn't like it when you mention they're at Apple's mercy when it comes to the M1/2/3 Macs. It seems that fact is a bit of a sore spot for them. 🤷♀️

Terrible business idea: buy up weird architecture machines on eBay (SPARC, Itanium, Alpha, etc.) and build brand "new" workstations around them with beautiful custom cases and peripherals.I would go bankrupt in a week but man would it be the week of a lifetime.

I'll be moving instances this week, joining a small instance out of Amsterdam: https://exquisite.social/, run by @h3artbl33d and @mischa, who'll have me. I'll move over somewhere this week, depending on time. If all goes as it should, nobody should notice a thing!

I'm still so happy with @osnews's Gemini site. It's seeing far more use than I ever imagined.

@ThePlant And of the government's own making, no less. The fact there's poverty in a country as wealthy as the UK is a disgrace (and not limited to the UK, sadly).

Wait, there's a Frasier reboot? Sequel? Thing?
