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

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 https://ko-fi.com/CursedSilicon

@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?

To be clear, I usually just talk about computer things over in my retro Discord these days Not because I *like* Discord.

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
