Hi, is this thing on?
I should probably write an introduction post, so here goes:
I'm Leonora, a professional computer toucher, go-fast-vehicle enthusiast and occasionally I write stuff too.
Fandoms I've written for include #Overwatch, #ElderScrolls and #Control.
Staunchly anti generative AI.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

This essay touches on some specific and particular issues that arise when you grow up as a girl who doesn’t know she’s a girl, and who likes girls, but not in the way that literally every boy you know does.
This one hit really close to home. Like, “I need to unpack and process some of this” close.

So I saw a comment on Reddit and had to write an essay about it
"You can be a girl if you want to" is useless if you don't know what wanting to be a girl looks like.
If lesbians make you sad, read this one

HR departments countrywide need to start treating gendercrit employees as potentially hostile. As soon as you are required to interact with one, you dust off the rulebook, you dot every eye and cross every t, and you assume bad faith at every turn.
They are a threat to every organisation.

Getting to be a girl FEELS like a privilege.
I know the resources we use to express those manifestations of self are a privilege to have.
But the quintessential truth of gender is you can just decide to be a girl, and nobody can stop you.

Kind of immensely satisfying that the way you treat one of many trans women's worst sources of dysphoria is by shooting lasers at it until it goes away.

Absolute shame that if you want to properly configure your gaming mouse on Linux, Razer is one of the best options you have due to decent open source driver support thanks to OpenRazer. I don't want a Logitech mouse and it looks like I won't be buying Razer either. Shame.
It figures that an industry that thinks that "vibe coding" is a reliable thing would now decide that QA is the next thing you can replace with AI 😒
Your friendly reminder that good QA people are worth their weight in gold and an invaluable part of game dev

The improv comedy group can reliably count how many Rs are in strawberry, so we're really overrating ChatGPT with this comparison.
you say "i asked chatgpt"
i hear "i asked [an improv comedy group]"
an improv group wrote this report

chatgpt is much like an improv comedy group
1) you are the audience, giving it prompts
2) it produces things roughly shaped like your prompt
3) it is trained to respond with Yes, And
4) it has the factual accuracy of improv
5) it does not understand comedy

IT, Warhammer and MTG are "transfem traits" because they are niche hobbies that allow you to engage with them either completely on your own or with people who otherwise only care that you like the hobby too, and people who scan as "effeminate boys" do not have space to exist in society otherwise
Damn I did not know this was a t-girl stereotype because I have never been interested in Warhammer
