I’m a lapsed accountant and analyst who was retired by a disability a few years back. I’m also the musician who wrote the book for the instrument i play and am the bay area’s best kept secret on percussion. Oh and i can ride my bike real fast.

if i’m being unreasonably curt or rude, just ask me what crawled up my butt. that should snap me out of it. one of the best things about the fediverse is how we treat each other.

    i remember googling a script how to code in a something google engine with a -noai into my firefox. not one week passes and that search extension has somehow turned into an ai exclusive search engine swear to, uh, fuck. i forgot i can’t believe i legitimately have to look this one up. Hieronymous Theodor Richter and Ferdinand Reich, gods of me breaking electronics whenever i walk into the fucking room. my religion is getting so goddamned weird my wife is right. anyways that was when i stopped using google for good and using duckduckgo. but even the duckduckgo-noai bullshit script did that, i did all the antivirus malwarebytes bullshit swear to… fuck. Hieronymous Theodor Richter and Ferdinand Reich. I really should have picked people to engodden with shorter and easier to remember names, like Pierre Jules Cesar Jannsenn. Anysays, i just ended up having to make a duckducklogin and tell it no ai which doesn’t that defeat the purpose of going from the duck?
