i custom chose the colors and design of this keyboard with wasd keyboards ( it was a gift or i never could have afforded it back then lmao)

in case you cant tell, each "region" of associated keys is organized with color to denote differences of key type where the keys are not already physically seperate.

the number row is green, while tilde/grave is not. the function type keys (not f#) are differently colored as well, alt, tab, caps lock etc are all colored differently from the general typing area. it's a small thing but apparently it is similar to how old keyboards had different colors for what did and didnt change what the screen displayed

boost this post and i'll describe your aesthetic in outfit choice that I envision you in thru reading your bio / looking at your profile pic, my mind is hyperactive and very visual

yes, there are many intensities of PTSD. that doesn't make any level of PTSD invalid. no, it doesn't have to be something stereotypically traumatic.

PTSD can shape the way you work in incredibly hard ways, especially when you have many layers of PTSD (called Complex PTSD)

I've experienced personally A Lot of various types of PTSD (including the military related sort!!!) and all of them are valid. Don't be a jerk.

hey, yknow how the steam sale has a fifty dollar bundle for humongous games's collection?

you can also find them on https://archive.org/ and run them with https://scummvm.org/ scummvm proper, instead of having steam try to sell you a DRMed to fuck copy of entirely open free shit that already is super easy to get your hands on

how to set it up? download iso from archive.org of game of your choice, extract the iso with something like 7zip, and then point scummvm at that folder. click play.

you're welcome and happy holidays. i strongly suggest pajama sam 1 if you want a sugestion https://archive.org/download/PJSAM

(boosts welcome to spread the knowledge)

hey, me again

theoretically, i've got a job lined up but. they still need to work out scheduling stuff before they officially hire me

regardless of this, i have no capability to pay rent this month. if you want to donate to me you can help a disabled ex-navy trans woman survive via:
- paypal https://www.paypal.me/hoodiekitten or hoodiekitten@outlook.com
- patreon (i won't recieve this until after rent is due!!!) https://www.patreon.com/hoodieak
- cashapp, $hoodiehime or https://cash.me/app/KVNSNDQ

if you want, i'll draw a black and white sketch to the best of my abilities, when i have the spoons. my tablet doesnt work atm and i havent had the spoons to troubleshoot it, so it wont be digital art, but here's some examples of my digital art (cw for a weapon in the final attached pic)

i will also work and write text that is accessible, or write an article about a topic, if you like, or a short lewd fic like the ones of both on my blog https://hoodieaidakitten.dreamwidth.org/

boosts appreciated as well

does pleroma and mastodon have scuttlebutt interoperability yet

documentation is still developer work

work for the purposes of accessibility that does not generate code is still developer work

design, mockup, and visual aid in creation of the user interface is still developer work

just because something does not fit your narrow definition of "valid" does not make it any less valid or deserving of recognition

reminder that im very, very poor rn (to the point of not eating healthily, im probably lowkey malnourishing myself) and that you can always give me money

im a navy vet who got tricked out of my benefits, im constantly submitting job applications and finding nothing, and i really wish i could afford to just treat myself once in a while

there's a good chance i cant withdraw my retirement savings from my navy time fast enough for next month rent, in which case ill probably have to crowdfund or well, i dont really know what the alternative is

please help me survive

im trying so hard, and hope is scarce to find.

anything helps including boosts, thanks for reading

albin.social is a new mastodon derived instance

it has many negative traits that mean you as an instance admin should defederate

-harvests user data, presumably from all federation as well as local users
-plans to run off ads fed that data
-for profit, corporate adjacent based monetary goals, instead of user centric
-no features to sell you other than "ads = stability" in their twisted logics

boost and defederate, folx

hey. i'm a trans/nb, disabled, US navy veteran with years of experience in system administration, as well as a good chunk of github effort influencing mastodon's early growth period in user experience and featureset.

ive got next month's rent, and virtually nothing more to live off of afterward.

i'm based in Seattle, and am versatile in my abilities, not just centralized to system administration. I got a resume here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ctL51i0GjEfRHpewzj4ayJmiWnfq8QyVk8XDYjdM4n0/edit#heading=h.sb9muqbgut2t as well as methods of communication here, in wire, texting, email, and more.

i'm scared. i've not been able to find a job in the civilian world, despite my best efforts.

maybe point me in the right direction, or point me out to somebody you know?

please boost, or maybe hire me on a cheap commission to appraise your tech, for any reason, for a negotiable price. I just want to work for pay, enough to survive.

anything helps, including boosts.

dm if you just wanna send me money, instead, if that's easier for you.
