for some reason, that Chiitan account really loves liking posts on my alt. sure, I guess?

imagine women. waow

if you rely on fig's work (like constellation) for your stuff you should give them some money

the collection grows

is she about to buy a new .at domain for a project only she'll probably ever use? yeag

oh dear (I’m not apologising for the fact that this EP is incredible)

my first piece (cowritten with Catriona Innes) in a print magazine comes out today: we interviewed 13 people, mostly trans women, about how the Supreme Court ruling has affected them for Cosmo UK www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/a...

big tech should invent stuff we actually want like double jump and wave dashing

this seems like a minor distinction, but the solution of "stop users blocking mod.bsky" focuses on "*users can block the labeler*, and it breaks ozone" rather than on "and it breaks ozone"

not to discourse, but I’m going to be that one last stubborn bitch still writing her own code no matter what. you’ll have to pry nvim and rustc out of my cold, dead hands

it was only a matter of time

npmx is now in alpha: this is our story, as told by our team and friends

me, last week: this shouldn't cause a race condition, it'll be fine. me, today, debugging a very strange issue with no real failure logs but a load of PK failures: not again!

built a barbecue at the weekend with mum, at no point did she question why I lifted the handles out and said "habdel" and, y'know, I'm glad of that

today, we're announcing our €3,8M ($4.5M) seed financing round, led by byFounders with participation from Bain Capital Crypto, Antler, Thomas Dohmke (former CEO of GitHub), Avery Pennarun (CEO of Tailscale) among other incredible angels. read more on what's next: blog.tangled.org/seed

someone remind me why, every year, I spend a whole evening of my life watching the BRIT awards.

oh hell yeah the greens won in Manchester‽

new handle time new handle time (how tf did i manage to get username mia on omg.lol ?!)

i just have a *couple* of bluesky accounts

always such a shame when a great album isn’t available on CD and is only vinyl (although digital only is the worst) like yeah sure i *could* buy vinyl, but I haven’t got anywhere to display them

“It was natural and simple, like opening a window … and knowing it’s a girl’s skin the sun’s shining on and a girl’s hair the wind’s blowing about.” (Dorley 31 ‘Skin and Bones’) Okay so this happened to me today, I was sat outside work having lunch in the sun, in a dress, feeling good

How do we fix open source funding?

just spent an hour tracing a stack overflow in parakeet, right back to some code I wrote 11 months ago that I knew I'd need to fix at some point to make sure it wouldn't do that... and then forgot about.

huh, Martin in Dorley chapter “Home Away From Home” sorta sums up the general appeal of forcefem, and Dorley more specifically, to trans readers - just having to _go along_ with the process of transition happening rather than being _actively in control_ of it Hadn’t noticed that last time.

The whole gang's here!

why did bluesky not use the new atproto docs site as a chance to put an end to AppView in favour of AppServer (or other alternative)?

I've spent my evening making a curated version of my main music library. Y'know, curated, the best of the best, a shorter list. it's 865 songs.

Welcome to Dorley Hall is back in the UK! The first book of The Sisters of Dorley relaunches April 23rd, and for a limited time, you can get 25% off your pre-order at Waterstones with code FEB26. Visit the website or app between Feb 17 and Feb 20 to pre-order! www.waterstones.com/book/welcome...

I’ve been running with kwallet on, but the kde setting to store WiFi passwords system-wide instead of per-user in wallet, and this seems to have fixed both the login/wake/unlock issue, and WiFi not connecting on boot

atproto desperately needs a way to deactivate on a per-service (per lexicon namespace?) level. wanting to tune out of one service shouldn't mean removing your entire atproto identity.

*logs on* *looks around* > tf did I miss? *logs off*

finally, after years, I am documenting my goddamn truenas ACL situation, in some vague attempt at understanding what I actually need this nightmare for

Having an objectively rough one this week and I think I’m going to deal with it this weekend by tackling the list of places I need to change my name

we'd be doing a lot better if folks would stop assuming malice every single time something goes wrong, especially about things that are highly nuanced and extremely difficult to manage. things going correctly ~99% of the time and having ~1% of things go wrong doesn't immediately invalidate the 99%.

for extremely normal and extremely professional reasons, I am considering inserting gifs into a word document. I have been assured this is possible and I do not know how to feel, but it *is* useful in this circumstance

just spotted that my NAS has been offline for an undisclosed amount of time, I’m sure this is nothing to worry about

I am without chocolate eggs today, for it is February, and also nearly midnight, but oh my god I cannot get over this bit and *clears throat* need! (towards the end of the Dorley chapter “Old Soldiers”)

just discovered some awful behaviour in my lastfm scrobbler (it duplicates if I pause a song for long enough after 50%/4m) and now I'm back to wanting to write one in Rust

It is absolutely cruel that I cannot belt Chappell Roan whilst in the office, like wdym I can’t scream Casual or Good Luck, Babe?

(Belated) January CD haul: this is (a tad over) £100 of CDs and there’s quite a few favourites in here.

fosdem? no, I prefer forcefem (is this anything? I have like four permutations of this and they’re all this bad) (90% chance I’ve seen this somewhere and it’s not original lmao)

you ever think about how if you or I had Money we would, like, upgrade our gaming PC, get some life-saving medicine, pay for dinner for our friends, commission art of our blorbo, help out with somebody's mutual aid. and instead all these people took trips to Sex Crimes Island and get to run society

npmx is the first of many projects that will flourish from the relationships and bridges between communities we'll cultivate during the following months

mentioned this in my year end leaflet, but think I might make an actual goal of getting myself to fosdem next year, because it sounds like it’s popping off with ATProto +adjacent peeps this year

this is the last of all places i expected a spherical cow joke but they're always highly appreciated

“Consider: you just don’t have to get weird” is a whole mood especially in the context of names too. switching names for people isn’t hard, and not being weird about people switching names isn’t hard

do you guys know I like nix?

Going to get back into parakeet development tomorrow(finally!) by ripping out my did-resolver and replacing it with jacquard. At some point I want to do the same for the lexicon definitions - there’s no real point to me (manually) maintaining a copy in-tree.

how on earth did I forget “personality is stored in the balls” from Dorley, uh, whatever the first chapter of book 3 is. absolute gem, need to use that one in conversation.

I'm finally joining the firehose club.
