I discovered the ISFDB (Internet Speculative Fiction Database) today. What a fantastic reference to all the scifi/fantasy authors and their books.

This is my biggest fucking gripe.

Just name if Final Fantasy 7 - Remake part 1/2/whatever… or something.

I’m not gonna buy this shit cause the prices are fucking stupid, but it’d still be nice to be able to keep track of this shit in a way that makes sense to human brains.

Yes! Hell I’d prefer FF7 ReReRereelease over this

I know what ableism is & educate true ableism. I also know the damage to the community that the 'ableist police Karens' do

Here I sit in a motorized wheelchair, hooked up to a feeding tube pump, with a pump in my abdomen & cath in my spinal column that delivers medication to my brain and an anti-ableist 'police' Karen came at me in a DM over a gun violence boost

When I wouldn't engage, it abused two of my HashtagGames tags with a lecture & a 'take a look at yourself' with a misquote

Feck Off.

2/2
Just to be clear, I don't send my followers after anyone. Many of my followers are people that live with invisible disabilities and mental health challenges and they're tired of the inequality within the disabled community as well. They categorize it as Ableism just as I do. It's their prerogative to challenge what they see as Ableism and I have no control over that. People with MI challenges are not criminals or abusers. Criminals or abusers come from all walks of life, backgrounds and health circumstances.

The claim that I attacked both hashtags saying "take a look inside" was not directed at this individual but, the original poster and everyone else who feels it's okay to make derogatory comments about people with invisible disabilities and mental health challenges. Someone has definitely misinterpreted but, it wasn't me. The post reference about "take a look inside", is linked to the post above.

Regarding health issues: I'm not very far behind the description of the health issues noted in this post. I have two brain injuries, a spine injury, multiple orthopedic disabilities, autism, fibromyalgia, and a host of other disabilities. Apparently secret posts of misinformation has resulted in "cancel culture". As long as these things continue, right wing fascists will continue to be victorious.

@OutOfExile_IDR_Voice @paul @disability @disabilityjustice @MadMovementMastodon I read it as an adjective rather than a noun: referring to a person who is simultaneously a criminal and mentally ill and a drug addict and a wife abuser. It reads to me like it's meant to be a list of risk factors for violence.

Who has what disabilities is irrelevant.

The ableist part is using mental illness as shorthand for predisposed to violence.

Now I gotta add more tags to my autistic hashtag tab and it always takes me a while to remember how to get to that bit of the app shakes fist at sky

I think I missed asking autistics off it anyway.

Am I missing any good ones?

(I wish the suggested tags were in camel type so I don't have to type the whole thing out every time.)

special interests are really about hierarchy of motivations…

I spend a lot of my time being pissed off at interruptions/intrusions/diversions to whatever I happen to be focussed on in that moment, however compelling or tedious it happens to be.

If, however (as just happened), someone asks me a question about stationery, or dog breeds, or the astronomical tides, or the philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement, I’m going to drop literally ANYTHING else I’m doing to deal with that.

drandrewv2 OP ,
@drandrewv2@freeradical.zone avatar

I literally CAN’T NOT.

The dodgiest example of this is when I’m driving, and I see someone walking an interesting dog… 8-|

And now I consciously understand how it works, I see that I intuitively have been working it against fellow monotropic neurodivergents my whole life - parents, siblings, colleagues and PhD supervisors - to derail their efforts to talk about things I don’t wanna talk about. 😳

I am known to drive of the road in order to engage with what the person in the other seat is trying to tell me. 🤣 (noone got hurt)
But really if I did not have uninterrupted space to myself, I'd never get anything done. My self defense is to make people around me engage with whatever I happen to be focused on at the time. Can be annoying I guess, but can also create intense closeness. It's a lifetime of learning how to respect these things, both inside myself as in others and find wise ways to deal with it socially.

Pattern brain:
Why the rush to a new hashtag when has been in use for ten years and is understood across every platform in use now?

Rude brain:
Why did all the cool kids get up and decide to sit at a new lunch table when the poor weird kid who was raised in a cult sat down with them?

It wasn't a rush to a new tag.

When I 1st came here I assumed was gatekeeping & didn't interact until I saw the tag explained. Most weeks since I've seen posts assuming the same.

But like many of us I'm fond of the AA tag, plus change is... unappealing.

Then I saw a couple of posts under & got quite anxious we'd go through the pain of change but end up with another problematic tag.

So I thought I'd better say something.

@FrightenedRat @CynAq @anomalon @autistic[email protected] @actuallyautistic

When I read the AA tag for the 1st time I had no idea what it meant so I looked online. I understand the wish to have a new # because of the gatekeeping aspect but I have seen several new ones today + groups and it’s confusing.

As mentioned in the initial post of this thread the # is used everywhere online since 10 years, so I will continue, for myself, to explain its meaning to people wondering about it. 😊

They have official community apps now that they do themselves, and it’s amazing. I’ve switched all my apps over and I’ve had no problems since.

ssdfsdf3488sd ,

I really like truenas for nas but I agree with you on running vms/docker somewhere else. I ended up keeping truenas for the mass storage (the only thing I run on it is one virtual machine to hold proxmox backupserver on an ivol). I think the much better home platform for vms is proxmox. You get ar eally nice gui that makes everything pretty easy, it’s debian under the hood and with proxmox backup server you can very easily backup your virtual machines. It’s also very easy to mount nfs or cifs shares into docker containers so you can keep the bulk data of your docker environment directly on the nas, which makes managing backups dead simple.

No one cares about Hunter Biden. The pro-second amendment right wing wants every criminal, mentally ill, drug addict, wife abuser to have access to AR-15's EXCEPT Hunter Biden.

Attempting to unsubscribe from a newsletter results in me being "temporarily blocked"

One good day I wound up with a subscription to a site named Schwans, and I was receiving purchase orders from a guy named "John D." for some reason. So, naturally, I tried to unsubscribe. I got an error message saying:

Sorry, you have been temporarily blocked
We have implemented new measures to help protect against fraudulent activity. Something unusual was detected with your access to schwans.com and you’ve been temporarily blocked. Please contact our team at 1-888-724-9267 and provide the Ray ID shown below. We’ll have you back online as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding as we continue to defend and protect customers from ever-changing cybersecurity threats.

Odd thing, so I go into the main website and unsubscribe manually. All fine and dandy until I start getting these emails AGAIN because Schwans decided to rebrand as Yelloh and that apparently reset their unsubscriptions and back to the same shenanigans we go!

dragonrules ,

Most companies use a service to send their newsletters. You should be able to find the IP address from the email headers and then find the abuse email for that company. Email them, tell them you are unable to unsubscribe and their customer is thus sending you spam. Attach the email headers and 90% of the time they will take action (at least from my informal observation when I used to do this).

N00b22 ,

You can unsubscribe from the mail app I think. If not report as spam
