Quality Chinese SSDs really hit the market just in time. Samsung's cheapest readily-available 1TB NVMe is AU$350 here, while Fanxiang have comparable* 2TB SSDs for the same price. (Or 1TB for AU$200)

The Samsung drive I'm talking about is TLC while Fanxiang's is QLC, and there are tradeoffs involved in that. But for a consumer wanting a boot drive for their personal PC, I don't think this matters.

Edit: it seems I may have understood how this works. See replies for details.

PSA if you have a Bluray drive:

Flash it with LibreDrive ASAP. Otherwise every disc you insert carries the risk of rendering your drive permanently useless.

Then a ~12 year old kid was like "excuse me? where did you get the pins on your bag? oh is that a trans flag! cool! I'm aroace" It's nice to get little reminders of why visibility is so important, so worthwhile. I never want to be stealth, I want to be loudly queer, I want people to see how happy I am, I want people to feel inspired and safe just from seeing me around.

I'm so tempted to reach out to this person and ask them if they're aware of how they are contributing to ableist stigma. But also that feels like a really rude way to interact with the mutual aid post of a disabled person I don't follow. And I don't want to make myself the lolcow subject of another meta.

@mynameistillian @elilla In much the same way as a submissive can say "I'm worried I might shut down and not be able to safe word, so please stop if I start crying" or "please check in with me for continued affirmative consent periodically", the dominant is allowed to have things they are worried about and need safeguards around. Safety in kink is a shared responsibility, and should be approached collaboratively.

People living in Naarm, if you like PVC and/or rainwear, you should come along to the 3rd annual rainwear meetup!

It's being hosted at DT's Hotel in Richmond on the 11th of July. All genders welcome, and I'll be coming down from Dharug / Sydney just for the occasion!

And to be clear, real psychology still has a lot of issues with over-pathologisation of certain things. But it's gradually getting better, and the attitudes of clinicians towards even pathologised conditions are still generally compassionate.

So uhhhh. Is it a good sign if I set up my Rayhunter and it's immediately warning me about a possible interception? Is there a legitimate reason why my nearest LTE cell would be advertising a priority 0 downgrade to 3G? #eff #rayhunter #cybersecurity

@danirabbit@mastodon.online I did a similar thing recently, but my psych phrased it as needing to be able to store memories/thoughts/emotions. She suggested the usual things (e.g. a box) but none of them made sense to me since you can't put emotions in a box. So then I thought about what memories & thoughts typically reside within: people. Anyway good thing I'm plural, now I just create an alter to store everything between EMDR sessions.

@rosaaeterna @sleepybisexual It is still used as a slur in the US, a lot of you are just weirdly uneducated about that. Which results in it coming up in some bizarre locations. E.g. Weird Al's Word Crimes. But the meaning and usage are just like the r-slur, insulting someone's coordination or intelligence by referencing a disability. British use of fag is different, because they're completely different words that happen to be homonyms. The meanings are unrelated.

@alice Bioidentical progesterone does not appear to elevate breast cancer risk beyond the average for cis women. And this is just such a typical women's health care story. For years the medical establishment was kinda just like "oh you need progesterone? well here's something that's close enough" and it never occurred to them to give people the real thing. (The main recipients of progesterone supplements are cis women who need them for uterine health) 2/2

@rosaaeterna @sleepybisexual That's fair. I'm autistic and often frustrate people with insistence on little details as well. I just have little patience for this topic because it's so obvious to me that it's a slur, and talking about that with Americans feels like pulling teeth sometimes.

@rosaaeterna @sleepybisexual Even in the case of using the adjective for an inanimate object, it still relies on drawing a comparison from the object to a disabled person. It still reinforces the societal harm and stigma of the condition and it still gives the word power. Which is to say, it works via the exact same mechanisms that a slur does. Because it's a slur. I don't really understand why you're nitpicking this. Just call a slur a slur and move on.

@rosaaeterna @sleepybisexual To simplify: Using the technical term "retard", for example within the context of inhibiting the spread of a fire - non-slur usage, but maybe choose a different word anyway if possible Using the r-slur to refer to anything (animate or no) that you think is stupid, faulty, ugly / other pejorative uses. - definitely still a slur! It's the meaning of the word that matters, not the subject. There are no non-slur definitions for sp*z / sp*stic.

@danirabbit@mastodon.online Yes, being a container for unpleasant thoughts is existentially horrifying for the alters. But, much like Simon Jarrett, they don't realise that it's going to be them until it's too late. The poor things expect that they're going to become me. Or rather, they think they already are me. Maybe some of them were. It is difficult to keep track of which one is the clone and which is the original.

My motherboard's UEFI UI also doesn't appear if my primary monitor is connected. Idk if rEFInd would help but it seems worth a shot at this point...
