Negotiating is so much harder now than it ever was before. People just put long documents into AI to accommodate some sane sense of industry praxis.The document grows 3 pages. It includes more literal insanity. The process goes on 4 times and an 4 page NDA is now 20 pages and still needs changes.

Please for the love of all that is good in this world. Do not use AI to negotiate with actual people. It will continuously exhibit the worst of humanity and infinitely complicate the process.

why am I mansplaining produce? I don't know people its Saturday. My brain is empty. Maybe I should take a nap then fix some stuff.

I am sad to see all the summer vegetables go out of season. I made my last batch of fresh salsa this past week. But, on the plus side there are carrots, potatoes and sweet potatoes for days!

If you have never had a carrot from a farm and don't really care for the ones from the store I recommend trying one. Good carrots are almost citrusy and floral raw and when cooked they are kind of sweet like sweet potatoes. The ones in the stores (US) are more bitter and scratchy.

Sometimes I wish fedi had a way to hide or downweight posts by someone who isn't disruptive they just post a lot of content I don't care for. I bet other people like it and appreciate it, so I don't want them to be penalized. Just because their stuff isn't my stuff it doesn't mean other people shouldn't see their stuff. Hmmm. Maybe I don't understand how fedi works.

Awe dang. My favorite cozy fisherman sweater shrank :(. Its not tube top status, but its not long enough to wear in public or in the cold outside. I want to google how to unshrink a sweater but I am scared to find out the answer is I need to donate it :(

Hmm I wonder if there's a good rust crate for handling thumb stick input? I've been prototyping with WASD and it's kind of a bummer because you lose magnitude that way. Before I start working on Minute 3 of game play I should probably figure out a way to deploy to a steam deck(?) for testing or plug in a USB controller and find a crate that handles it. If anyone has experience with this dilemma let me know!

Whenever I need gamedev inspiration I look at Earthbound SNES. Is it crazy to make a game which has its own interpreter baked inside it? No! It's freaking awesome.

`...“Whoa, almost sounds like a CPU!” In fact, using a simple hack Rufus made a while back to allow the scripting system to access any memory address, it would theoretically be possible to write an emulator just using EarthBound’s text system.

I will not politics today.

Today I will do fun things, rest, and work on my game. 🐼

I see lots of people talking about Omarchy. I had no idea what that was. So I finally googled it. Apparently its a Linux OS that requires you to feed all of your issues and usages to an AI provider or something?

Am I crazy or is this a really bad idea? #infosec

I have mixed feelings about pride this year. Woah chill not like that. I am a fan of it and I'm an ally. My wife is volunteering this year, maybe I will too if I'm not filling out applications.

Is it bad for someone who is more or less cis hetero is to volunteer for pride? I used to go to gay bars a lot to support my friends brother doing drag and stuff. Maybe I'm less cis hetero then the average cis hetero person is but thats where I am. Am I safe enough of a person to be in that space? Idk.

I didn't land the dream job :'(. I'm a bit crushed but have to keep moving. Bills need to get paid, funds are running lower. My spirit is still high but I am so tired.

The hardest part of being unemployed is knowing how much my wife depends on me and not being able to solve real problems. I'll figure it out somehow...

I really wish there was a fediverse alternative to say discord. I like mastodon because it is so laid back but sometimes its nice to jump into a chatroom for half an hour and meet people that way. I might start writing a protocol for it because why not. Worst comes to worst I'll turn it into a MUD or something :D

I am about to share my opinion about clothes.

Mens clothing sucks. It is scratchy, doesn't fit good, and often lacks fun. Have you seen womens socks? Like come on.

Womens clothing is often soft and comfy and stretchy. Womens wallets and purses have amazing utility. Womens jackets are so cool. The downside is NO POCKETS. But what I have learned is, if you wear a purse its not as big of a deal. So you kind of have to go all in.

If anyone knows of mens clothing that is nice please let me know.

Yes, no (built-in) AI is now a feature

Welp either I landed the dream job or I didn't. Now all I have to do is continue to mass apply to other jobbers until I find out if I got it or they want more interviews. I can't focus on anything. My game projects feel dead, but maybe thats OK right now.

I am shaking. I just had a good 2nd interview at a dream company. Please put good vibes, juju, whatever in the air for me yalls. Wishing the fediverse the best. I hope we all have some good luck this week. We all deserve it!

I can't decide if I need to change my career again, or what to do with myself.

I like keeping people safe, but I don't want to get into AI cybersecurity. Maybe disaster and continuity could be good!

I like improving peoples situations inside companies. But I tried and couldn't break into people operations. At least not yet.

I am good at software and data science stuff. But it's all AI now and I can barely get an interview except at sketchy places. So RPG my life

Saw this on another social and got a kick out of it.

Random question. Does anonymous still do hacktivism? 10-15 years ago it was a huge talking point with the occupy wallstreet movement, etc. Then Trump got elected and it seemed like most of the Anonymous people were happy and stopped. Was/is Anonymous cover for exactly these types of things? Or do they still do things to try and make the world better?
