Pro tip: Every time you see the word “inflation” in the news, just replace it with “record-breaking corporate profits”.

Billionaires aren’t “self-made men.” Trans men are self-made men.

Are you a woman? Do you have some shit to say? I've got no guest blog for this week, on 8th March (international women's day). Pitch me... https://www.girlonthenet.com/guest-blogs/ Guest blogs especially welcome from trans women, gay women, women over 50, disabled women, women who have kinks that I don't normally talk about on the blog, and basically any women who have different perspectives/experience to me. All women welcome, though. WOMEN. NEVER KNOW YOUR LIMITS.

JFC, people in tech are really out there saying that language models will be better at therapy, financial advice, and career advice than trained people. WTF is wrong with you people? Do you really have no clue about what other people’s jobs actually involve? Language models can’t even do maths how are they supposed to get good at financial advice? And therapy? Just… 😑 What’s wrong with people in tech?

My friend just told me of a genius idea: her friend & partner have a secret signal for when they have guests. If one of them makes themselves a hot drink in a specific mug, that means ‘I grow weary of company, please help guests out of the door.’

My favourite genre of post is when I get to hear about all the cool stuff you’ve achieved. Tried crochet for the first time? Made a healthy choice? A new personal best at best at bouldering? More of this please.

I think maybe my best advice is: definitely get involved in open source, just make sure either nobody uses your software or you quit ASAP 😆
