This was kinda long for my profile, so I am instead posting and pinning it so I can shorten my profile.

Very new here. I don't normally do the whole social media thing, but this fucking pandemic has me pissed off and bored, looking around places on the net that I normally wouldn't check out or care about. When I found This network with its many and varied instances, I just had to give it a look.

I will not apologize for being who I am but I do apologize if anything I say offends you. I don't typically want to offend anyone, but sometimes my fingers type before my brain thinks it thru. For that, I do apologize.

I don't know what I expect from this. I like to look at gifs, vids, and read stories. If you have some you want to share with me, please do. But please do NOT link me to sites that require paying or even supposedly free registration. I'm broke AF, even more so with the pandemic.

I'm a nerd girl. If you wanna get your tech freak on with me, you better not be talking about fucking Apple shit (unless you did something interesting with it like hacking an ancient Powerbook to run Linux lol) because I'm not interested in candy cane tech. Don't be asking me to code anything for you because I have a perceptual disorder that makes looking at code for more than a few minutes give me a headache. It's literally another language and I had a hard enough time with French and Latin.

I am also kinda spiritual (not religious) and I say kinda because it's different for everyone and I am rather eclectic. I can feel and sense energy from the world around me. I sometimes will use tarot cards to help my intuition contextualize that energy, but not often.

I'm rather weird, a little twisted, and kinda all over the place. I have lots of interests but what I like at any given moment depends on my mood at the time.

General Interests: Linux (mainly Kali and QubesOS) some gaming like ESO, technology in general I find fascinating. Computers, internet, mobile tech, tiny living, off-grid, prepper/survival info, hacking for learning not for profit. If I hacked for profit, I wouldn't be so broke.

I also have quite a pervy side that I have no shame about. I will, however, minimize it here as there are other instances just for that so I can always make an account there.

Do NOT talk to me if you are a bigot. In other words, don't be a racist, sexist, homophobe, politician, etc. I welcome open-minded discussion, but that's not possible if you have a closed mind.

I may add more here later.

Spread this around. Anyone that unfriends/unfollows because of it, you're probably better off.

@tindall@cybre.space sounds like you're talking about (forgive me if i mess this up, i only learned about this fairly recently from reading a fanfic) a plural/multiple. A game like that might actually educate people... you'd have to publish the game under a fake name to avoid getting swatted by the corporate overlords for teaching anything that's not corporate overlord sponsored 😛

I'd buy it tho. <3

So, I'm finally getting around to deleting my old facebook account that i haven't used in years. Any fediverse suggestions for a replacement?

Someone wanted Samuel L Jackson to narrate 2020... well here is the next best thing.

some good news in these times... Hackers around the world are banding together in what is being called the COVID-19 CTI (cyber threat intelligence) League to fend off attacks on hospitals, medical facilities, and first responder agencies. <3

@silver I might be just guessing here since I have never worked that deeply in a laptop before. Is it that different that it doesn't have a normal jumper to reset the bios?

Has anyone else ever played with the WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) in Win10? I may or may not be running Kali in mine. 😉

in the future, basically all websites will be full of unblockable ads and/or implemented entirely in ultra-fucked webassembly/opengl, and the tech-savvy will browse the web entirely through cat & mouse proxy servers running headless browsers to OCR the inaccessible content back into old-fashioned normal HTML and illegally redistribute it through peer-to-peer networks

@Beznell If what I learned from youtube.com/watch?v=S57uhCQBEk is accurate, then you can share the links to those videos here, and anyone that sees your message can watch and comment on the video. I'm not sure how easy it is yet tho, that video I linked is a very high level review, but it sounds promising.

@Beznell you might want to research PeerTube, a fediverse version of youtube. If what i learned is true, you ca even follow/interact with those instances from here.

Twitch keeps shutting this stream down every few days or so. They come back with a new account a day or so later and I for one am glad for that.

I can't remember where exactly I found these images a while back, just that it was on google image search. Thought I would share them here for trans day of visibility.

Today is #TransDayOfVisibility and our maston mascot here on chaos.social wants to spread the word.

We all have Schrodingers Virus now.
Because we cannot get tested, we cant know wether we have the virus or not.
We have to act as if we have the virus, so that we dont spread it to others.
We have to act as weve never had the virus because if we didnt have it, were not immune
Therefore we both have and dont have the virus. Thus, Schrodingers virus.

If you dont understand this joke, youre never allowed to talk about science again.
