I just default to doing lazy prompt injection attempts in every public forum now

@kianga reading this as someone that has never managed to run Windows for more than a few months and runs Linux ever since they started using computers (not counting macOS for a year) is very weird

I like, to use the same analogy, enter the apartment, spend the whole time trying to make the lights change to the precise color I want by hooking into its wiring and then giving up after a week of failure, installing like 20 locks on the door to make the landlord stop coming - after the previous 19 locks were broken, there's now a laser trap and a trap with hungry sharks and the landlord still somehow manages to get in

When I get tired of this and the electricity dying in the middle of me working or cooking and shutting down all of the lights and everything, spoiling the food in my fridge, I give up, blow the apartment up and move to my cozy cottage in the woods, which is currently resembling a Hello Neighbor house moreso than anything else, and some random thing collapses in an on itself every few days, and the breakers pop every month, but at least I can cook and work in peace. Mostly.

Does anyone have a thermal receipt printer they particularly like?

I want to start printing little thermal-printed versions of my blog posts to staple in my journal. But I don't know much about what good brands are and the like?

Oh my god, Pied JUST WORKS!
I can't believe my ears!

I just installed Pied's flatpak package, let it install Piper, then downloaded the best English voice I could find ("Lessac", the basis for most other voices), and told Pied to set it as the Speech Dispatcher voice…

Now Orca sounds natural, and I can stand using it, for the first time in 20 years.

Video below demonstrates reading this post.

"You say you are an anarchist yet you keep building state machines, interesting"

Groups: "Let's go around and have everyone share a fun fact."

Neurotypical: [A fact about themselves that's quirky in the most beige, unoffensive way possible]

Autistic: [A decontextualized deep slice about one of their special interests... maybe followed by a series of similar facts as they get increasingly excited]

ADHD'ers: [A decontextualized obscure connection that they made between two seemingly unconnected things... followed by a 30 minute attempt to provide the missing context]

I was corrected for saying “real name” when I meant “legal name.” So, a reminder:

Your LEGAL name is a name that identifies you for official purposes.

Your REAL name is the name by which a practitioner of the occult arts could conjure you in a summoning circle and bind you to complete a task.
