Happy utau cv fest 2023! In an attempt to try to re-create Shizu’s core CV bank minus the mic pops, I made 3 new CV banks, but none of which quiiiite get the right tone I was going for. I made a quick cover of sasakure.UK’s Tondemo Wonderz using them, plus Shizu’s core CV bank and Aroku’s Loaf bank. For the heck of it, I’ve released these three banks, which can be found at https://soaringutau.wordpress.com/shizu-sogone/

Why enshittification happens and how to stop it.
The enshittification of the internet and increasingly the software we use to access it is driven by profit. It happens because corporations are machines for making profits from end users, the users and customers are only seen as sources of profits. Their interests are only considered if it can help the bottom line. It's capitalism.
For social media it's users are mainly seen by the companies that run the sites as a way for getting advertisers to pay money that can profit the shareholders. And social media is in a bit of death spiral right now, since they have seldom or never been profitable and investor money is drying up as they realize this.
So the social media companies. are getting more and more desperate for money. That's why they are getting more aggressive with getting you to watch ads or pay for the privilege of not watching ads. It won't work and tumblr and all the other sites will die eventually.
But it's not just social media companies, it's everything tech-related. It gets worse the more monopolistic a tech giant is. Google is abusing its chrome-based near monopoly over the web, nerfing adblockers, trying to drm the web, you name it. And Microsoft is famously a terrible company, spying on Windows users and selling their data. Again, there is so much money being poured into advertising, at least 493 billion globally, the tech giants want a slice of that massive pie. It's all about making profits for shareholders, people be damned.
And the only insurance against this death spiral is not being run by a corporation. If the software is being developed by a non-profit entity, and it's open source, there is no incentive for the developers to fuck over the users for the sake of profits for shareholders, because there aren't any profits, and no shareholders.
Free and Open source software is an important part of why such software development can stay non-corporate. It allows for volunteers to contribute to the code and makes it harder for users to be secretly be fucked over by hidden code.
Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird are good examples of this. There is a Mozilla corporation, but it exists only for legal reasons and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the non-profit Mozilla foundation. There are no shareholders. That means the Mozilla corporation is not really a corporation in the sense that Google is, and as an organization has entirely different incentives. If someone tells you that Mozilla is just another corporation, (which people have said in the notes of posts about firefox on this very site) they are spreading misinformation.
That's why Firefox has resisted the enshittification of the internet so well, it's not profit driven. And people who develop useful plugins that deshitify the web like Ublock origin and Xkit are as a rule not profit-driven corporations.
And you can go on with other examples of non-profit software like Libreoffice and VLC media player, both of which you should use.
And you can go further, use Linux as your computer's operating system.. It's the only way to resist the enshitification that the corporate duopoly of Microsoft and Apple has brought to their operating system. The plethora of community-run non-profit Linux distributions like Debian, Mint and Arch are the way to counteract that, and they will stay resistant to the same forces (creating profit for shareholders) that drove Microsoft to create Windows 11.
Of course not all Linux distributions are non-profits. There are corporate created distros like Red Hat's various distros, Canonical's Ubuntu and Suse's Opensuse, and they prove the point I'm making. There has some degree of enshittification going on with those, red hat going closed source and Canonical with the snap store for example. Mint is by now a succesful community-driven response to deshitify Ubuntu by removing snaps for example, and even they have a back-up plan to use Debian as a base in case Canonical makes Ubuntu unuseable.
As for social media, which I started with, I'm going to stay on tumblr for now, but it will definitely die. The closest thing to a community run non-profit replacement I can see is Mastodon, which I'm on as @[email protected].
You don't have to keep using corporate software, and have it inevitably decline because the corporations that develop it cares more about its profits than you as an end user.
The process of enshittification proves that corporations being profit-driven don't mean they will create a better product, and in fact may cause them to do the opposite. And the existence of great free and open source software, created entirely without the motivation of corporate profits, proves that people don't need to profit in order to help their fellow human beings. It kinda makes you question capitalism.

Go Home
Another twitter thread
So I've been thinking of a #Moshang AU all day about SQH actually pressing the 'go home button' but when he returns to the modern world MBJ can still hear him when he calls, he just can't go there.
So while dealing with LGJ he gets thrown across the clearing, he calls for MBJ but the system decides this is the most convenient time to pop up and in his desperate flailing one of his hands lands on the 'go home' button.
MBJ shows up to find his uncle cursing empty air, and he demands to know where SQH went.
"Vanished into thin air." A feat not even a heavenly demon could achieve without aid. Even Mobei Jun's powers leave a trail of shadow and cold.
Mobei Jun nearly kills LGJ, his uncle is covered in SQHs blood, but there is no body to be found. Mobei Jun had heard him call, and he tears the clearing apart looking for his cultivator but there is no sign of the man. He is distraught, he is devastated, he is alone.
Meanwhile Shang Qinghua wakes up in the modern world feeling like he just licked a battery in a pile of cold noodle juice and a small fire from his laptop plugin burning up his wall.
He feels the years of An Ding training surge through him as he leaps to his feet and finds the small fire extinguisher in his cupboard and he puts the fire out, then the enormity of what just happened starts to sink in
"My king what have I done?"
He may have spent his first night sobbing MBJs name into his pillow, he wants to chalk it all up to a dream but he can't.
 He's been writing that damn novel for years and never had a dream like that.
  He's forced to return to a life he'd almost forgotten, he couldn't even remember what month it was let alone his passwords. Thank god he finished PIDW he wouldn't be able to write another word for that disaster.
He doesn't even know how to go back to it, his time in his own book feels like a dream but then he's looking at sales spreadsheets from his novel and he feels like he's back on An Ding.
Luckily finishing it meant physical copies were being published giving him a financial buffer.
He needed a new PC and a new apartment first, he started job hunting because he just wasn't sure if he could still write, not after everything.
 He'd also developed a bit of a habit of calling out for MBJ when anything went wrong. 
If he missed the bus?
"I was too slow my King."
He spilled his noodles (on a table far away from his new laptop)
"My King I'm such a Klutz"
Someone tried to bully him at his new office job?
"Save me from spreadsheets my King!"
  Mobei Jun is SUFF ER ING.
At first he thought he was hearing things. The call was distant, Shang Qinghua had left him and he was hallucinating.
 But it happened again, and again and finally he tried to follow it teleporting to SQH only to end up in the middle of the abyss, SQH nowhere to be found.
It is driving him mad, but he knows it's SQH calling for him.
 He thinks back to SQHs threat, that MBJ would never be able to find him but he also assumed that was only the case if SQH didn't want to be found.
Why would he call out so often if he didn't want to be found? 
Eventually SQHs constant cries drive him to approach Junshang's consort. He's so driven that perhaps he doesn't go about it in quite the right way.
"Where is he?" He shakes the cultivator's shoulders demanding answers, "He keeps calling for me but I can't find him. You know where he is don't you?"
 before SQQ can open his mouth to answer LBH descends on MBJ in a fury.
The two fight for the first time since MBJs Ascension and it's closer than any of their contests before. MBJ needs SQH back and even Junshang's strength won't stand in his way.
Be fore either of them can do any real damage SQQ intervenes.
"I know where he is! and I *think* I know how to get there."
 MBJ stops mid swing abandons the fight and kneels at the human's feet.
 "Tell me, please."
SQQ collapses his fan and taps it against his chin.
"Binghe, give him Xin Mo."
"BUT SHIZUN! It will corrupt him!" They had been dual cultivating frequently to aid Binghe's resistance of the blade.
SQQ sighs and mutters under his breath,
"I can't believe I didn't notice how much of that bastard's favourite you are." He turns to Binghe. "It won't"
"But Shizun, how do you know?"
 "This master just knows." he mutters again "and because it happened in chapter 669."
Chapter 669 was some dumb plot that had LBH stranded without his sword in a land beyond even his famous general's reach, after some adventure and two new wives MBJ appeared as a deus ex machina at a crucial plot point just to deliver Xin Mo back to the protagonists hands. 
SQQ hadn't payed as much attention to that moment because LBH's wrath after getting the sword back was a real badass moment.
It wasn't until a little reflection (and another nitpicking forum goer pointing it out) that he realized MBJ never hesitated to hand the blade back, nor had he ever made an attempt at owning the sword.
 Any other demon would have turned traitor in an instant.
Even SHL one of the protagonists wives was constantly trying to take the legendary sword from her husband.
 But MBJ was immune.
Because he'd always been the author's favourite.
Binghe Begrudginly retrieves Xin Mo but before he hands it over SQQ gives MBJ a short lecture.
"This will likely only work if he's *actually* calling for you." 
He jabs his fan into MBJs chest accusingly, "You are not to harm him, our world doesn't have cultivation. He'll be very fragile compared to demon strength."
 Mobei Jun ignores the slight instead nodding gravely.
Binghe seems to catch his words, "Shizun what do you mean by your worl-"
SQQ cuts him off instead continuing his lecture.
 "Your are to only bring him back if he wants to come back." MBJ nods again, If SQH wants to stay he will stay with him where ever the man has escaped to
He can't imagine why SQH might want to stay, he calls to MBJ daily if not more, without cultivation the place must truly be a hellscape.
Now he just has to wait for SQHs next call.
SQH gets home from a long day at work. He'd made the mistake of trawling the PIDW forums only to find a memorial post for Peerless Cucumber.
RIP bro at least you get to live out your domestic dreams with the protagonist now.
He's starting to feel doubtful of his whole experience with the system in his novel but hearing of Cucumber's death makes him hope it was, even if it does make his own situation a little more tragic.
But it wasn't like he and Mobei Jun were actually dating.
Thinking about MBJ lowered his mood and as he was putting his work bag away he managed to kick his new kitchen table hard stubbing his toe.
"Fuck! My King who put that there?!"
He hisses and pulls his foot up trying to relieve the pain.  
Only to be knocked on his ass when a cool whirlwind of shadow laced with the scent of blood begins to swirl in the centre of his apartment.
The shadows coalesce into a familiar demonic form.
 "Mobei Jun!"
Icy blue eyes snap their attention to him but there is something determined and cold in his gaze.
"Where is he?" The demon's voice is low and dangerous.
 Fear creeps up SQHs spine when he realizes MBJ doesn't recognize him.
Which why would he? Airplane looks nothing like SQH,  he had taken a few days to get used to the difference but there is no way for Mobei Jun to know that.
How did he even get to the real world, his teleportation was a bit OP but never like this.
Then Xin Mo is leveled at his throat.
Mobei Jun paced waiting for Shang Qinghua's call, the moment he registers the faint "my King." He was pouring his power through the sword surrounding himself in shadow to find his human.
 The trip is strange, different from usual but he's sure he's on the right path.
He appears in a strange place, both familiar and bizarre. An oddly plain room cluttered in a manner that reminded him of SQHs office, despite the fact he barely recognized a single object.
He searches the room but Shang Qinghua is nowhere to be found.
There is however a man on the floor staring at him wide eyed.
"Where is he?" He expands his sense to find Shang Qinghua, to see him, to smell him, to hear him but there is nothing.
There is just the stranger. So he levels Xin Mo at the man.
"Where is Qinghua?"
The man trembles clearly afraid and Mobei Jun steps forward and his target scrambles back hitting a wall behind him, staring up and Mobei Jun with wide doe-like eyes.
Oddly Familiar eyes.
"Junshang?"   
No that wasn't right, the demon emperor wasn't quite as stocky as this man, and his hair was cascading curls rather than short cut frizz. Still the man's feature's were unmistakably similar to Luo Binghe's.
Perhaps a relative?
But no SQQ had said there were no cultivators or demons here.
The question has the man shaking his head frantically his movements skittish and familiar but not like Luo Binghe, like someone else.
 "Who are you?"
Shang Qinghua's thoughts are running a mile a minute. MBJ was confusing him with LBH?
Maybe he kind of sort of used LBH as a power fantasy but that changed way back in chapter 14 when he realized his gay xanxia novel was going to sell better as a papapa odyssey.
But MBJ had Xin Mo AND he was looking for Shang Qinghua, who was Airplane but wasn't Airplane. He debated the merits of revealing himself.
 MBJ looked pissed, and they hadn't been on great terms before he left. On the other hand would MBJ even believe him if he told the truth?
And there was Xin Mo to deal with. How did MBJ get his hands on the mythical sword? Was it corrupting him? Worse what if it wasn't his MBJ.
His mind buzzes as he tries to think up a reasonable lie, so his lips start to move, because he needs to stall.
"M-m-my King?!"
Fuck.
MBJs eyes widen at the exclamation, old habits die hard apparently and it seems like those habits are going to get him killed
. He watches a wealth of emotion cross his King's usually stoic face and holds his breath wondering what emotion the roulette wheel will land on.
When Xin Mo moves he curls into himself preparing for the worst.
 Only to be surprised by a clang. He peeks through his fingers only to see the OP blade thrown across the room sticking out of his drywall.
He doesn't see much however before Mobei Jun is invading his space.
There is something surreal about seeing the giant ice demon kneeling in front of him in his studio apartment, looking at him with a fragile sort of hope in his eyes.
"Qinghua?"  
SQH slowly uncurls to stare wide eyed at the demon in front of him a cool hand settles on his cheek. Eyes as bright and deep as pools of water darting back and forth, searching with more emotion than he's ever seen.
SQH swallows thickly nodding with trepidation. He feels something in his gut twist, aching with the gentleness MBJs thumb strokes his cheek.
"The same freckles." And SQH chokes out a laugh. The one thing that gave him away is something he could never get rid of in either life.
He didn't think MBJ had ever even noticed. His laugh gives way to a sob, he's bursting with tears now that MBJ is here, for him.
 "I never meant to leave my king!"
He's always been an ugly crier but MBJ doesn't seem to care, pulling him to his chest.
Which is SQHs dream spot, really he'd always wanted to sob into his king's bosom. So he does enthusiastically, while MBJ holds him just a little too tight.
He shakes, only to realize its MBJ making shuddering breaths.
They sit there on the floor wrapped in each other crying.
It isn't until they're cried out breathing into each other that SQH discovers a flaw to having an ice demon boyfriend.
He's frozen to MBJs chest

I imagine that if q!phil and ae!phil in this au would meet, q!phil would be like 'here's a parting gift that I think would help you out :D' and just slaps a sharp 5 top-heavy scythe into his hand and a couple stacks of mines + avocado toast in hopes that ae!phil will use it to cause massive amounts of chaos (also WOOOOOOO 🚀 anon i get it the brainrot for these aus are CRAZY ive been here for w e e k s)- 💿
He 100% would WHEEZE
And then aePhil feeling bad because he doesn‘t know what to give qPhil in return, so he just. pulls out anything from the plugin stuff like a gun or grenades or smth probably and is like "yeah sure that‘ll do hopefully" and qPhil just wheezes like WHY DO YOU HAVE THAT JUST ON YOU???
Also aePhil 100% will cause chaos with it. As I think I already mentioned, I imagine that aePhil is much more openly chaos driven and a silly feral than qPhil ( mainly as he doesn’t have much, or anything to lose whatsoever ), so being given mines and a rather powerful weapon & stuff.. mans is gonna live up to his name as the Angel of Death even more now and the Federation should hope they don‘t ever meet aePhil AKAJA

The artificial intelligence race is gathering pace, and the stakes could not be higher. Major corporate players—including Alibaba, DeepMind, Google, IBM, Microsoft, OpenAI, and SAP—are leveraging huge computational power to push the boundaries of AI and popularize new AI tools such as GPT-4 and Bard. Hundreds of other private and non-profit players are rolling out apps and plugins, staking their claims in this fast-moving frontier market that some enthusiasts predict will upend the way we work, play, do business, create wealth, and govern.
Amid all the enthusiasm, there is a mounting sense of dread. A growing number of tech titans and computer scientists have expressed deep anxiety about the existential risks of surrendering decision-making to complex algorithms and, in the not so distant future, super-intelligent machines that may abruptly find little use for humans. A 2022 survey found that roughly half of all responding AI experts believed there is at least a one in 10 chance these technologies could doom us all. Whatever the verdict, as recent U.S. congressional testimony from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reveals, AI represents an unprecedented shift in the social contract that will fundamentally redefine relations between people, institutions, and nations.
Adding to these ominous existential worries is the already lopsided distribution of power and wealth, ensuring that the winnings of future upheaval will accrue disproportionately to the 1 percent. But if AI menaces white-collar jobs and empowers undemocratic interests in privileged countries, what to say about the fallout in those parts of the world where billions toil in the informal sector without safety nets, making them even easier marks for power elites and their digital tools? However the AI disruption plays out worldwide, there is scant hope that, without mitigation, safeguards, and compensation such as universal basic income, the world will be a more equitable place to live, work, or vote.
Fears about the existential risks posed by machine intelligence are hardly new. In his 1872 novel Erewhon, Samuel Butler prophesied that sentient machines would eventually replace humans. In 1942, master science fiction writer Isaac Asimov famously laid out his three laws for robotics: Robots may not injure humans, must obey orders from humans as long as this does not violate the first law, and must protect humans’ existence as long as this does not violate the first two laws. A few years later, in 1950, Alan Turing imagined machines that could converse with humans, while in 1965 Irving John Good predicted a machine-driven “intelligence explosion.” The world had to wait another half century for the promised AI revolution to arrive.
And yet for all the historical premonitions, the current furor over AI is as unprecedented as it is uniquely unsettling. For one, the latest crop of highly advanced large language models and the computational power driving them are no longer confined to the laboratory but are already being used by hundreds of millions of people. Another cause for concern is that some of the most outspoken AI advocates are now convinced that its unregulated use poses a fatal risk to humanity in the near future. What was once floated as a distant theoretical threat is now a clear and present danger—so much so that technologists such as Eliezer Yudkowsky, Geoffrey Hinton, and Max Tegmark and more than 31,000 other people have called for a pause in training the most powerful forms of AI, which they see as among the “most profound risks to society and humanity” today.
Well before the latest outbreak of anxiety, governments, businesses and universities across North America and Western Europe were debating the real and potential harms associated with AI. Their attention converged on at least four possible threats. The first is the existential threat posed by super intelligent machines that may quickly dispose of humans. The second is widespread and accelerating unemployment, with Goldman Sachs recently estimating that as many as 300 million jobs are at risk of being replaced by AI. The third major concern relates to the disturbing way AI imitates and shares text, voice, and video—and could thus supercharge misinformation and disinformation. A fourth fear is that AI could be used to build doomsday technologies—such as biological or cyber viruses—with devastating consequences.
We are not yet at the mercy of thinking machines. As awareness of AI risks has grown, so too have standards and guidance to mitigate them. But for the most part, these are voluntary, including hundreds of protocols and principles advocating for responsible design and self-restraint. Common priorities include aligning AI with the best interests of humans and promoting safety in the design and deployment of algorithms. Other objectives include transparency of the algorithms themselves, accountability in relation to their development and application, fairness and equity in their use, privacy and data protection, human oversight and control, and compliance with regulations. The focus on voluntary self-policing is starting to change, with tech companies themselves advocating for the establishment of AI agencies and the enforcement of more robust rules.
Yet the push to create safeguards is far from ecumenical. To date, most of the debate over AI and possible strategies to mitigate unintended harms is concentrated in the West. Most of the government and industry standards now on the table were issued in the European Union, the United States, or member states of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a club of 38 advanced economies. The EU, for example, is poised to release a new AI Act focusing on applications and systems that pose unacceptable and high risk. The Western focus on AI is hardly surprising given the density of AI companies, investors, and research institutes working on AI from Silicon Valley to Tel Aviv, Israel.
Even so, it is worth underlining that the needs and concerns of regions such as Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia—where AI is also rapidly expanding and will generate monumental effects—are not much reflected in the AI debate. Put another way, the vast majority of discussion about the consequences and regulation of AI is occurring among countries whose populations make up just 1.3 billion people. Far less attention and resources are dedicated to addressing these same concerns in poor and emerging countries that account for the remaining 6.7 billion of the global population.
This is a troubling omission, given that many of the darker consequences of poorly regulated AI are particularly resonant in the so-called global south. Undoubtedly, some anxieties are global, including those over super-intelligence, job losses, and accelerating fake news. Yet the darker portents of AI represent anything but an equal opportunity affliction. Unmitigated AI could deepen social, economic, and digital cleavages between and within countries. The unregulated spread of AI could also concentrate corporate power even more, and deepening techno-authoritarianism could accelerate the corrosion of already damaged democratic institutions.
While these AI-induced harms clearly represent universal threats, their impacts not only will fall unevenly across an already badly divided globe but could also prove particularly paralyzing in lower- and middle-income countries with precarious regulatory guardrails and weak institutions. For one, algorithms and datasets generated in wealthy countries and subsequently applied in developing nations could reproduce and reinforce biases and discrimination owing to their lack of sensitivity and diversity. Moreover, low-wage and low-skill workers already suffering from poor pay and lax labor protections are particularly exposed to the job-killing effects of AI. There are, of course, many potential benefits to the spread of AI in the global south, but these may not be harnessed without adequate AI regulation, ethical governance, and better public awareness of the need to limit AI’s damaging effects.
Given the blistering pace of AI advances, the time for building regulatory guardrails and other backstops is now. AI-powered technologies are rapidly being adopted in some of the world’s most unequal countries in Africa (including the Central African Republic, Mozambique, and South Africa), the Middle East (including Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia) and Latin America (including Brazil, Chile, and Mexico). Yet many of the basic laws and principles to govern safe AI have yet to be fully developed, much less negotiated and publicly debated. Likewise, large U.S., European, and Chinese technology vendors are rapidly introducing powerful AI technologies in many developing countries, securing dominant market share in surveillance and other AI applications, and wiping out the local competition. The use of AI technologies to reinforce illiberal and autocratic governance is already on full display in places such as Cambodia, China, Egypt, Nicaragua, Russia, and Venezuela.
Unfettered AI development is good news for autocrats and power elites who are already set up to reap the spoils of government and monopolize public goods. Unless effective regulations, equitable compensatory mechanisms, social safeguards, and political firewalls can be built, AI is likely to deliver greater uncertainty and collateral damages to the globe’s digitally challenged underclass, for whom next-generation technology will be someone else’s miracle.

9/25-26/2023
i took a walk today.
Tumblr media
i saw this guy. i took a picture with him too.
Tumblr media
i can scarcely imagine what people are supposed to use this guy for i guess you just throw balls at him and practice aim or something. encountering him felt really crazy. just disused shadows of men posed and waiting to play ball with you.
anyways, i also cleaned the apartment a bunch while listening to the locust and electrosleep int'l, the floors of the bathroom, and then the studio zone i guess, kitchen and everything, under my gf's desk, and i also super cleaned off our kettle, i'd like to go at it again but it's in a decent enough state now. this is gross but oil splatters onto it and i just didn't really bother. don't think badly of me please. it's not like it's for anything but hot water, and like, it's not fancy. but seeing it cleaner, to the point i could really actually see myself in it, was crazy, it's this old thing from my grandma, i never saw the thing approaching bright.
tomorrow we're going to see a movie, and then after is errand day again. everything is super busy suddenly, i guess.
not really actually. but you know. or you don't. i dunno what i'm saying honestlyyy.
i took a walk today, and cleaned so much today, because i need to take a break from music so i can go back to these songs and with a clear head actually listen and decide on changes and things, see what is actually good, or closer to actually good, and what isn't. i've driven myself slightly crazy. i think the most i can let myself do each day, is work on guitar tones, just little stuff at this point, figure out cool ways to distort things and whatever else. to help with guitars, i acquired (lololol) a plugin that simulates pickups on a guitar. really really useful actually. i honestly expected it to sssuck, but it didn't/doesn't, and that plugin came with another thing that can do distortion, and it's a good sounding distortion/bunch of good sounding distortions.
so now that i have all these amp sims, a pickup sim, some physical modeling, impulse responses to simulate cabs, i'm excited about putting imperfect guitar simulations through these things to reach fucked up and weird tones. so far though, i'm really fond of all the ring modulation options i have. they can help me get some locust-y sounds. i can already do that on my own too though honestly.
i should do the last bits of working out i need to do today and wash my face after this song.
today i've also been looking for more images of grubs/larvae/whatever, for the cover art.
and now the movie tomorrow is a maybe. that's mostly okay i guess. i could go either way i was just excited for it because it'd be a welcome distraction so i wouldn't keep obsessing. we'd have to go to a part of town that honestly i am not super crazy about. downtown is just super, i dunno, grody in a way. mega gentrified, supra-millennial, hot, sad. it's the los angeles las vegas crossroads, really. it's better than the strip which is just a soulsucking hell every time i'm there for even a little bit. but the movie would probably be really good, it'd be a wkw movie i'm pretty sure, i've never seen any of his movies.
on my walk i didn't see much else that was really memorable i guess, i walked around where i normally walk around, a lot of other people out today which makes me feel nervous a little i guess, some people stare. i guess at the end of the day i just hope they stare in the more positive way and not because they think i'm way disgusting or something but the positive way is also not actually positive. it's just unfortunately somewhat gratifying to be seen like that i guess.
anyways i'm really sleepy now, so maybe i should just go lay down earlier than usual. it might be really good for me. i can't wait to see if i feel good tomorrow and then not ruin that with forcing myself to sit and listen to these songs over and over and instead maybe just working on a guitar sound or something. that would be kind of a nice day, and then maybe going and seeing a movie, and if i don't i dunno.
oh, tonight i tried something new, breaded chicken and gochujang butter instead of miso butter (still kind of miso butter because i put miso in there too). it was really good. it's kind of like, the best of both worlds.
anyways, byebye!!

I tried to quit when you went to shit, when you proved to the world that you only cared about yourselves and not the people who needed you most. But here I am coming back for more like a god damn junkie. I kinda hate this, not gonna lie, but there's really nothing else like VRchat.
VRchat is a weird and amazing thing when you're queer. The aging 2019 Unity Engine LTS build it uses, although held together by duct tape and super glue, provides near infinite capabilities for self expression to those who have the time and patience to understand how to use it's SDK toolkit alongside other community tools like various Blender Plugins. It goes without saying, for those such as myself who have struggled with their own identity for a long time, this shit will crack eggs. And it shattered what remained of mine in the beginning of 2020. This is why this badly written and mismanaged clusterfuck of a Unity game holds a special place in my heart.
Tumblr media
To make a very fucking long story short, I've been on VRchat since basically the beginning. My earliest memories of VRC were in late 2017, early 2018 where everything was far more raw, simple, and experimental. VRchat itself was a blank canvas, and on that canvas was a tight knit community that spawned an iconic culture all to its own. And yes, before anyone asks I do know de wae. But for those early years, mainly because of my lack of budget and stable income, I was tied down to just keyboard and mouse controls from a desktop PC. It's a sub ideal way to play VRC but you make do with what you have in that kind of situation and make the best of it. So when I had the means to get my own headset in the beginning of 2020, an Oculus Rift S, you can bet your ass the first thing I loaded into was VRchat.
Before we continue, I need to introduce the concept of phantom touch or phantom sense. Phantom touch is a term that was originally for amputees who could feel their missing limbs when given certain stimuli, typically some form of mirror therapy or sometimes via ones prosthetics. Phantom senses in VR are along the same lines. For all intents and purposes, your avatar in VR is the same as your body to your brain. Now, not everyone gets this, and those who do get it in varying amounts in just different ways. I'm admittedly on the more extreme end of this, as far as my brain gives a shit my avatar is my body and that ends up causing some interesting sensations. Most importantly, it pretty much drives my own choice of avatar since a lot of options out there just don't feel right. Yeah an avatar may be super cute or super funny but with that level of immersion for someone like myself it becomes very apparent that a lot of things will give full on dysphoria. This isn't really limited to anything either, I've noped off of cute looking avatars for a variety of reasons, sometimes even just small things like clothing, hair style, body proportions, height, etc. On the flip side of that, the right avatar can relieve a lot of dysphoria for someone like me who does experience gender dysphoria regularly in their day to day lives. So what were my options then?
Wade through a lot of public avatars until you find something anywhere between just right to perfect. The world of public avatars available is almost limitless, as games driven by user generated content tend to be so there's plenty of options.
Make your own avatar, either from scratch or a prefab base. This is again where the limitlessness of the engine comes into play, where the only limitation is your own technical abilities with Unity SDK, and tools like Blender or Maya.
Tumblr media
I got lucky and took option one. I found one that felt just right, a Tda based red haired fox girl in a cute hoodie, crop top, and jeans, and only needed a few minor tweaks. While there was a bit of a language barrier, the creator of this avatar and I got something worked out and the image above is the result. This is me. This was when what remained of my egg, so to speak, was completely fucking shattered into oblivion. This was where I realized that "Nah yeah I'm not fucking cis," after years of going back and forth and being on the fence about my own sense of self. Ultimately, VRchat ended up a coping mechanism for my dysphoria. I was free. I was me. I ended up parting ways with the guy who made the model posted above for reasons I won't get into. I was never given the source files to update the model to SDK3 so where it is now is where it will be forever until SDK2 gets dropped entirely. So, in mid 2021 when I found a prefab base that was relatively well support and easy to work with on booth.pm called Imeris, I jumped on that. I re-made me.
Tumblr media
Maybe to a bit of an extreme, but whatever. Bouncy squishy boobs on my chest makes girly gender euphoria go brrrr in a way I can't get over. But this is how I stayed for about a year without any major changes save for some new outfits every now and then.
In August, 2022, VRchat implemented EasyAntiCheat into the game. The reasoning for it is all over the place and while I have some insider information as to why it's not been stated publicly and I don't feel like getting sued into oblivion. But regardless of their reasoning, no matter how much public backlash they got, no matter how many members of the community who relied on third party client mods for accessibility for various disabilities and basic usability and quality of life functions not present in the base game, they pushed the patch out live anyways. They pushed out a patch knowing it broke compatibility with some Oculus headsets and software, this even was noted in the patch notes. They didn't care about us. That much was clear.
I swore off VRchat then and there, but the reality is the other options all sucked. NeosVR had NFT integration which is something I despise on principle. ChilloutVR, while promising, still lacks a lot of the functionality for their dev tools that makes a lot of my shit work. It was on par with early VRchat SDK1 and SDK2 tools, which compared to SDK3 with Udon were beyond archaic. I tried to give that some love, but it's so far from ready to take the place of VRchat that I couldn't switch over. Maybe some day, though, CVR will be in a position where it's a suitable place to call my home in the metaverse.
So after dealing with VRC being broken for months on my machine, I finally figured out a workaround. Turns out my main issue where VRchat was crashing to desktop was because of some sandboxing options I had enabled way back when I was still running Windows 10. Disabling these settings fixed the crashing to desktop, but Oculus overlay still crashes any time the virtual desktops are used. This, however and unfortunately, is a documented issue because of how EAC works, and there's no real fix for it. In any case though, I can be me again. And while unfortunately a lot of my friends have left VRC entirely post EAC update, there's still enough to justify sticking around.
At the time of writing this, I'm a month out from hopefully receiving hormone replacement treatment and beginning my transition proper. It's a bit overdue, admittedly, but I know some day soon I'll feel comfortable in my own shell. For now, this will continue to be my escapism from the dysphoria that's plagued me for years.

Top factors to consider when choosing a WordPress theme
When it comes to choosing a WordPress theme for your website, there are several important factors to consider that can greatly impact the overall success of your site.
First and foremost, you should consider the design and layout of the theme. A well-designed theme not only looks visually appealing but also enhances user experience by making it easy for visitors to navigate your site and find the information they are looking for. Look for a theme that offers a clean and organized layout, with plenty of customization options to tailor the design to your specific needs.
Another important factor to consider is responsiveness. With more and more people accessing websites on their mobile devices, it is crucial that your theme is responsive and provides a seamless user experience across all screen sizes. A responsive theme will automatically adjust the layout and design elements to fit the screen size of the device being used, ensuring that your site looks great no matter how it is viewed.
In addition to design and responsiveness, you should also consider the functionality of the theme. Make sure the theme offers all the features and tools you need to create the type of website you want. Whether you are looking for an e-commerce theme with built-in shopping cart functionality, a blog theme with customizable post layouts, or a portfolio theme with sleek image galleries, choose a theme that aligns with your goals and needs.
Another important factor to consider is page speed. A slow-loading website can frustrate visitors and negatively impact your site's ranking in search engines. Choose a theme that is optimized for speed and performance, with clean code and efficient design elements that ensure fast load times.
Lastly, consider the level of support and updates provided by the theme developer. A well-supported theme will receive regular updates to ensure compatibility with the latest version of WordPress and address any security vulnerabilities or bugs that may arise. Look for a theme developer that offers ongoing support through a dedicated support team, forums, or documentation to help you troubleshoot any issues that may arise.
In conclusion, choosing the right WordPress theme is a crucial decision that can greatly impact the success of your website. Consider factors such as design, responsiveness, functionality, page speed, and support when selecting a theme that best suits your needs. By taking the time to carefully evaluate these factors, you can ensure that your website not only looks great but also performs optimally to attract and retain visitors.

Maximizing Customer Engagement with Rewards Plugins
In today's highly competitive business landscape, customer engagement has become a critical factor for success. With the increasing shift towards online shopping and digital interactions, businesses need to find innovative ways to connect with their audience and foster long-term relationships. One effective strategy for achieving this is through the use of rewards plugins.
Understanding Rewards Plugins
Rewards plugins are software tools designed to incentivize and reward customer behavior. They can be integrated into e-commerce platforms, websites, or mobile applications to offer various incentives such as discounts, loyalty points, or exclusive offers. These plugins work by tracking customer actions, such as purchases, referrals, or social media interactions, and rewarding them accordingly.
Benefits of Using Rewards Plugins
The utilization of rewards plugins offers numerous benefits for businesses looking to enhance customer engagement. Firstly, they contribute to increased customer retention by providing incentives for repeat purchases and ongoing interaction with the brand. Additionally, rewards plugins help to build brand loyalty by offering exclusive rewards and personalized experiences to customers. This, in turn, leads to higher conversion rates as satisfied customers are more likely to make additional purchases and recommend the brand to others.
Key Features to Look for in Rewards Plugins
When choosing a rewards plugin for your business, it's essential to consider several key features to ensure maximum effectiveness. Customization options are crucial for tailoring the rewards program to suit your specific business goals and target audience. Integration with popular e-commerce platforms such as Shopify or WooCommerce is also important for seamless implementation and management. Furthermore, analytics and reporting capabilities allow businesses to track the performance of their rewards program and make data-driven decisions for optimization.
Examples of Successful Implementation
Several businesses have successfully implemented rewards plugins to enhance customer engagement and drive business growth. For example, a clothing retailer implemented a rewards program that offered points for purchases and social media sharing, resulting in a 20% increase in customer retention within the first year. Similarly, a subscription-based service used a tiered rewards system to incentivize referrals, leading to a 30% increase in customer acquisition.
Tips for Maximizing Customer Engagement with Rewards Plugins
To maximize the effectiveness of rewards plugins, businesses should focus on personalization, promotion, and continuous optimization. Personalizing rewards based on customer preferences and behavior can significantly increase engagement and loyalty. Promoting the rewards program through various channels such as email marketing, social media, and in-store signage helps to raise awareness and encourage participation. Additionally, businesses should regularly analyze the performance of their rewards program and make adjustments to ensure it remains relevant and effective.
Challenges and Solutions
While rewards plugins offer significant benefits, businesses may encounter challenges in their implementation and management. Common challenges include low participation rates, difficulty in tracking ROI, and lack of technical expertise. However, these challenges can be overcome through strategies such as offering enticing rewards, leveraging data analytics for insights, and seeking assistance from experienced professionals or service providers.
Future Trends in Rewards Plugins
As technology continues to evolve, rewards plugins are expected to become even more sophisticated and innovative. One emerging trend is the integration of gamification elements, such as challenges, leaderboards, and badges, to make the rewards experience more engaging and enjoyable for customers. Additionally, rewards plugins may increasingly utilize emerging technologies such as augmented reality and artificial intelligence to offer personalized and immersive experiences.
Conclusion
In conclusion, maximizing customer engagement with rewards plugins is essential for businesses looking to thrive in today's competitive marketplace. By understanding the benefits, key features, and best practices associated with rewards plugins, businesses can effectively leverage these tools to foster long-term relationships with their customers and drive sustainable growth.

Do you want to learn more about Notable ChatGpt plugin? Here we go! What we can do with it and what are the best features? Notable ChatGPT Plugin-What You Should Know? In the past, working with notebooks required a certain level of technical expertise. You not only need to know how to write, but you also need skills in system administration to set up the environment, install libraries, and manage your project with very little user interface support. This process has been improved with modern data notebooks, which provide enhanced interfaces, integrations, and settings, allowing users to concentrate on working with data and experimenting with different ideas. The Notable ChatGPT plugin makes all of it obsolete. You will receive a full notebook explaining the data you want to work with, the analysis you require, the methodologies you want to investigate, and how you want all of it in a literate programming document. That notebook isn't simply some static report; instead, it's an interactive and collaborative document that you can utilize with your stakeholders and colleagues to grow your work even further, or you can schedule it to facilitate periodic discussions. Imagine being able to issue a command to chatGPT to construct a notebook that contains all of your product data analysis, which you can then use to direct your MBRs, evaluate your user traffic, or visualize your income streams.
