I tried so many pillows and then I discovered the Coop pillow. It’s shredded memory foam and comes with a bag of extra filling so you can remove or add to your liking

I don’t remember her name, but #3 is from Atlantis: The Lost Empire

I just upgraded my daily driver laptop to a new desktop, so now I’m using the laptop as a home server. Much more powerful than anything else I could afford.

Booleans can be true, false or maybe. Technical info: Booleans are stored as one-and-a-half bits.

A lot of work has gone into making floating point numbers efficient and they cover 99% of use cases. In the rare case you really need perfect fractional accuracy, it’s not that difficult to implement as a pair of integers.

Chevy Chase very much was crazy

I Saw the TV Glow. Watched it at home and then in theaters when the theater near me did another run of it. Best movie of the year and my new favorite. Arguably the best trans representation in all of cinema, truly a masterpiece

DROPOUT MENTIONED

Don’t worry, they have DreamBerd

It’s Microsoft, they probably want you to host a webinar so they can use you to train AI to do it

Over time I’ve curated the list of creators I watch, so my recommendations are pretty good at feeding me what I like, though I do usually have to scroll through a lot of junk. And when the recommendations aren’t doing it, I’ll just manually go to a channel I like and find something and the algorithm will quickly adjust.

Patreon takes a cut of your money and gives the rest to the creator. Youtube does the same thing with Premium, plus creators receive a higher rpm from Premium viewers than they do from ads. And people left Reddit because they stopped supporting 3rd party apps. Youtube never supported 3rd party apps, plus there’s no suitable alternative to leave Youtube for.

Also, I’m not completely fine with Youtube Premium, but the pros outweigh the cons enough for me to justify paying for it.

Do I hate giving money to Google? Yes. Do I watch 6+ hours of Youtube a day? Also yes. I almost always have something playing in the background throughout my day, so it’s the one service I’m ok paying for and I don’t have to worry about it breaking like I would with other frontends.

The recent Disney lawsuit reminded me of this. In order to get those deals, McDonald’s makes you use their app, and part of signing up for the app is agreeing to their ToS which has an arbitration clause

Every cat is a kitten and every dog is a puppy

I had a neighbor come to my door wanting to read some bible verses. I was initially combative because I’m trans and have a pride flag in my window and was ready to be preached to about how I’m a sinner. I’m not religious but we actually had a really nice conversation about exactly this. I told them that I don’t believe in Jesus but do believe in the message of the bible, being a loving and caring person to everybody, and how conservatives have completely twisted the meaning to attack people like me. They read me a couple verses supporting that and how conservatives go against everything the bible says. It really gave me hope and what I was expecting to ruin my day actually made it instead.

Rectum? Barely knew 'em

• We’re fucked
• We’ve always been fucked
• Everyone’s always been fucked
• Everyone is close to being really fucked

That’s just not true. It’s transphobic to make it a big issue. Normally when you don’t want to sleep with someone, you don’t go out of your way to tell them and cry about it. You just… don’t sleep with them.

People underestimate just how massive California is. There are a lot of people across a large span of land that require electricity. I imagine the map would look very different if it was scaled by population.
