Actually, mounting should happen automatically when you insert a drive into the back port. And then you can load your files to the internal drive

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 10 months ago (2 children)

So if I'm understanding correctly - remember, I'm still learning, and I am an eager student - you insert your drive into my back port and then you load into my internal drive, and then everything works? Sounds good, when can we start?

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We can start whenever you want, my system is never microsoft

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm not opposed to Microsoft if that's the way people choose to live their life, but I will follow your lead

Actually, it might not get hard anymore once I get my hands on this new firmware crack

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hey, we can work around that. Tell me more about this firmware crack though, I certainly am interested in modifying my hardware

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well, this crack allows me to increase the padding around the buttons up top, allowing easier handling. My drive however will likely be neither hard nor solid, but probably floppy.

The code that needs to be injected for this to work needs official approval first, though.

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I too would very much enjoy thus firmware crack, unfortunately the approval for such a thing is comparatively hard to come by and increasingly is frowned upon. I've thought about going around the official approval route but that is a headache of its own.

(I live on TERF Island, and it sucks)

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The dumbest part for me is that I already have an appointment with the cracked firmware distributors but it won't go anywhere because I can't even get on a waiting list to talk about offical approval.

We're gonna get there. I can't believe in either of our healthcare systems, but I believe in us.

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That means a lot miss_brainfart, I'll do my best to believe in us both too ❤️

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Let me send you a big, big hug❤️

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Right back at you 🤗🤗🤗

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think I might be really bad at fixing computers, because it always ends in a data leak.

Also, the people on blahaj zone are the best❤️
I've had so many genuinely nice interactions here, it makes up for all the bad ones in other places

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's OK, we're all just learning and leaks can be cleaned up.

It is nice, isn't it? I'm so glad it was my introduction to the Fediverse. I like venturing out into the rest of it but I'm so glad I have blahaj zone to come back to, and it clearly brings in some nice people from other places too because you're here ❤️

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I signed up to lemmy ml because it has most topics I'm interested in, but turns out I basically live on blahaj zone now. Might as well transition (hihi) to here at this point^^

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

One of us, one of us, one of us! Come join us sis, be part of the family ❤️

(I shouldn't really have assumed "sis", call me out if I'm wrong)

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sis is correct, no worries^^

Well, guess I know what I'll do today

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

🤗 It's nice to have you around, sis ❤️

[–] miss_brainfarts@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)
[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Heyyy! Welcome home, it's great to have you :D How does it feel, being a proper blahajer? Allow me to give you your first upvote ❤️

[–] miss_brainfarts@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Blahaj Zone is the nicest online community I've ever visited, so it makes sense to make it my primary residence^^

I'll consider this to be the first part of my transition :P

Although this is actually the second fediverse account I've migrated, to be precise. My old pixelfed profile still had the word guy in it

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oh wow, I guess congrats on the official start of your transition =P I'm going to congratulate myself on playing a small part in it too 😆

Woof, somehow I've always avoided included words like "guy" in any username I've made, I suppose deep down I always knew I wasn't cis (although the repeated questioning of it over pretty much my whole life should have been the biggest clue 😅)

[–] miss_brainfarts@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I've been oblivious about many things throughout my life, and even if the thought ever came up, I'd usually just forget about it not even five minutes later :')

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Mood, it took me ages to recognise I was asexual too, I'd read about it and be like "damn, that really sounds like me, too bad I'm a cishet guy" and then forget about it again 😅 We should give ourselves a break though - it's a marathon, not a sprint

[–] miss_brainfarts@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Doesn't change the fact that I'm terrible at marathons though

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Hey now, none of that 🤗 It's just one (metaphorical) foot in front of the other, the important part is finishing, not how long it takes

[–] miss_brainfarts@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

We'll get there eventually. But it'd be cool if our ministry of health would realize where the word ministry comes from, and act accordingly.

I do recognize that I'm already very privileged when it comes to healthcare in my country, but even here there are still some serious issues in certain fields.

However, one foot in front of the other, as you say. This year will be where an important new law comes into effect here, making it much easier and less dehumanizing to change ones legal gender and name.

The reactions to this law have been a great way to add new polititians to my Do Not Vote list, which is a welcome side effect :D

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If you don't mind me asking which country are you in? I'm in the UK so it's already pretty transphobic, which sucks, but we have a general election this year so we might at least get the extremely marginally less overtly transphobic Labour Party in, though I don't expect they'll make it any better. I should save money to either try and go private or do some DIYing but sadly big expenses keep coming up.

However, I did randomly decide to shave my arms last night and that feels pretty great =D

[–] miss_brainfarts@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

(we can continue on Matrix, if you'd like)

I'm in Germany, which is pretty good in most areas, all things considered. But every now and then, if you need something specific, you might discover some roadblocks.

Being active on Lemmy, you've probably come across posts showing the massive protests against Germanys far right party, the AfD. The fact that they managed to become as successful as they are is incredibly concerning.

So who knows what the future holds.

Oooh, I haven't even thought about my arms yet. I wonder how they'd look without hair :D

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

(I'm not sure what Matrix is but I'm happy to look into it. Might need to be later because I'll be getting ready for work soon, but it's probably an idea if we don't just keep posting in this random thread 😅)

I've always had the impression that Germany is pretty good about these things, it's a shame it still throws up roadblocks. I had heard about the AfD thing and it's definitely scary, are you at least a little heartened by the protests against them? I really hope they're stopped, I'd hate for you to end up in an unsafe situation.

I can thoroughly recommend shaving arms, I did it thinking "well, I can fairly easily keep ithem covered til it regrows" and already I'm like "people are just going to have to get used to me having shaved arms, I guess, because I don't want them hairy again" 😅

[–] miss_brainfarts@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's certainly nice to see more people openly speaking out against them. I think many are also just uninformed about what's actually going on behind their curtains, what kind of narrative they drive.

So spreading awareness is, as always, the most important step.

Yeahh, I think I'll shave my arms some time soon^^

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's distressing how easily people are willing to write off shocking levels of bigotry as just being "edgy" or "controversial" until it slaps them in the face, at least hopefully it has slapped people there soon enough to avert the worst of the problems. And hopefully the protests make Those People a bit less bold in their politics. Spreading awareness is important but it's also important to be safe, it can be hard to do so if you're potentially being confronted with a crowd of fascists 😕

Oh yay, you'll have to let me know when you do and we can compare notes ^_^

(I think I'm setup on Matrix, I've been stuck in traffic on the bus to work and had nothing else to do 😅 I should be luckingfurker:catgirl.cloud, if I understand it correctly (yes, I took a look at your (old?) profile to get an idea 🙂 I suppose really I could've just messaged you this on there instead, but I can be a silly goose sometimes))

[–] miss_brainfarts@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I messaged you on Matrix :D

Gotta love how the people I talk to just seem to flock to catgirl.cloud for some inexplicable reason :P

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago

Clearly you're an influencer, be it good or bad remains to be seen =P

[–] TheCoolerMia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Hiii hello hewwo heyo hihihi helo welcome to blahaj :3

Heyyy^^ Lovely to be here :D

[–] Old_Fat_White_Guy@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

OK, I'm not white knighting here.... but I don't want to see you become the butt of the joke. All of this double and triple entendre is getting out of control. For all of this back loading to properly work you need a proper tower case. Personally I'm into cases by the Eiffel company. Eiffel towers are the best! You can front load AND back load simultaneously (some hand holding for structural support may be necessary). I utilize a method that has been widely recognized as the best. You have the comedic effect of a Spit Take along side the slow burn of a good Roast over how sloppy you com ports are. The colloquial term is SpitRoasting.... it's quite the undertaking but if we all work hard we can make this all come together.

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

That sounds like it becomes confusing and possibly messy, but I'm not not into it
