Just a quick intro post to say hello!
I'm a mid-40s woman in tech and security engineer. I'm neurodivergent, genderfluid, and my pronouns are she/they.
I tend to use Mastodon for the things I love and enjoy, and I'll include a few of them in the hashtags.
Sharing a pic of me wearing my comfy Dustrial hoodie. In case I look familiar, I have migrated from elsewhere on the Fediverse!

COVID probably killed 150,000 more people in its first two years than official U.S. tolls show
We have severely undercounted the number of COVID deaths, scientists sayMeghan Bartels (Scientific American)
"Don’t tell me or it won’t happen."
I just turned one of those bold, round numbers that invites metaphysical thoughts about Time. Waking up at forty, I find myself in a body that feels healthy. From here, the past doesn’t look effortless: waking at six, workouts, repetitions, injuries, recoveries. But it does feel contingent. Perhaps a future version of me wished it so. Maybe a wish is not something that happens in the future, but something that selects a past.
Not an injection of energy, but a constraint on what histories are allowed, a pressure that filters the trajectories that can lead to this moment. There has to be a sequence of events that leads to the arrangement of me now. Perhaps this is the only history that survives the constraint of a wish I would one day impose: that I be well.
If so, thanks.
🔨 Todos deberíamos ser luditas
Meta perdió 77.000 millones USD en el metaverso (~PIB de Uruguay) antes de aceptar que nadie lo quería. Los luditas del siglo XIX no odiaban las máquinas: rechazaban su implantación sin debate, que destruía empleos y comunidades. Hoy OpenAI pierde 7.800 millones y no espera beneficios hasta 2030, pero nos venden un futuro "inevitable".

¿Qué futuros tecnológicos nos están vendiendo como inevitables que podríamos simplemente... ignorar?

Kill your clone in It Has My Face with the expanded 1.0 release in April
It Has My Face is a unique idea that sort of blends Hitman with hide and seek, as you try to hunt down and kill your clone before they get you.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

Epic Games just laid off over 1,000 people
Another sad day for the gaming industry, as Epic Games just announced some pretty big restructuring with a whole lot of developers being sent packing.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
A bit concerning for the company how much of the reasons were related to Fortnight. It can't be healthy to put almost all of your money on one pony.
Secondarily, lowering wages and raising cost of living is leading to well-known results. It's just, that, well...
So 20% of the company laid off.
meh...just another shitty billionaire doing shitty billionaire things.
what did you expect from him? To *not* suck people dry and throw them away?
Stop being surprised at this stuff. Maybe don't play billionaire's games instead. Then you can just skip the "betrayal and anger" bit when they fuck their employees over. Again. And again.

I suspect we will have two webs: the version controlled by big tech, and a much, much smaller version that is largely reputation based and is shaped by things analogous to webrings with discovery via resource lists.
Big potential plus: the corporate web will be a blend of saccharine content, ragebait, and dark patterns - so a subset of people will use it less and get outside more.

in reply to Devine Lu Linvega • • •oh that's neat. So it's samples, but you have control over attack, decay, sustain, etc..
How do you generate the samples?
I have been playing around with synths the past year; the idea of programming an entire song, not just tracking but also samples, in uxn sounds appealing. This might be what finally gets me into uxn.
