  • Today I spent the day starting to set up basic things on my new CachyOS installation, and while this part is always a bit long, it's also a nice to take inventory of what I'm using, especially since some of those choices were made before I decided to go FLOSS as much as possible and think about information privacy. Just said good bye to a lot of browser extensions, changed out Thunderbird for Betterbird and we'll see what's next!

    So after more time than I care to say (😅) I got it working. I'm not sure what happened but my guess is two things at the same time. 1) X box controllers have two different pairing modes. Mine was probably in the wrong one. 2) Maybe i need to update my Bluetooth drivers? Secret #3) Updating my x box controllers firmware?

    Honestly, who knows. But like gift horse's mouth to the left and my eyes to the right is about where I am at.

  • Trying to get my xbox controller to connect on CachyOS (booting through the test usb, maybe part of the problem). Not discoverable, even after the firmwear update. (Actually one was discoverable before the update.)
    Reading forum posts and the number of people who have absolutely no shame in saying Grok/Copilot/ChatGPT told me to do this (and then sometimes copy wholesale the response) is staggering. Pena ajena. Anyway, if you're reading this and have any tips, I'm all ears.

    @donthatedontkill Ugh, I'm so sorry you're having to deal with that.

    Obviously, any adult should fully be expected to understand their culture's specific issues and structural discriminations and disadvantaged groups but just on the friend level... Your friend raises a concern about their comfort and safety and your first instinct is to ignore their feelings and completely disregard them? Awful friend behavior and then probably racist on top of that!

  • Please understand that if you ask me to join you and a friend I don't know somewhere where we need to be social and I ask you if they are going to be weird and exoticize me, one of the few wrong answers you can give is to start lecturing me about how all French people are not the same. I will definitely not come then. (This goes for just about any time a friend is looking for reassurance from xenophobia, racism, homophobia, etc. in an unknown setting.)

  • This week's samu is focused more on home repairs than cleaning, and so I need to make a trip to the hardware store. I'm cosplaying as butch by wearing my sleeveless hoody.

  • Rough night. Couldn't get to sleep. Felt weird muscle tension and anxiety. Finally took half over an OTC sleeping pill at a little past midnight and now I'm waking up at noon. Ho ve. I thought the sleep was getting better. At least I was able to stay in bed until I feel like the pill had mostly worn off, but the next day is always a little.... wonky.

    @tiefling It could be worse. I've been doing well. I spent a lot of the day the library today. I'm getting some rest and away from the Bad Situation. But I just think I'm going to need more than a week to get right again. If I'm still dropping things and falling down (among other burnout symptoms), I'm not sure a week is going to be enough for that.

  • So as of yesterday, I'm on sick leave for burn out because of the situation at work. Part of how this manifests is being clumsy and also just not being as emotionally stable as I could be.
    So suffice it to say, when a piece of seitan plopped into the pan, spilling hot oil onto the underside of my forearm, it did not go well for me.
    I think I'm going to need more than one week.

    @AutisticDoctorStruggles
    They don't have an Esperanto translation though... But then again I think Esperantistoj would be less likely to do this. (Partially because of shared values of communication and partially because a lot of us, especially online, I suspect are autistic, though I don't know if there's actually any data to back this up.) Maybe I'll do an Esperanto translation for fun.

    @stevegis_ssg It's what we were using, but I read in the wikipedia article that the main instance is hosted on amazon servers which aren't always GRDP compliant. We can deal with that if need be but it was digging and responses here that had me realize that we could just use a different instance instead
