Everyone who spins up a server, develops an app, or otherwise hosts others’ speech in the Open Social Web has skin in the game when it comes to defending Section 230. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

crazy how Tim Heidecker, A. G. Cook, and Neil Cicierega are all “straight” “cis” “men”

crashing in (like locking in but more intense and erratic and the outcome is less predictabl)

having been a teenage girl as a transfem person sucks because nobody else has the experiences I have and knows how much they suck except for other transfem people who came out when they were young, which seems to not be extremely common. but it's fine because that's in the past and I'm an adult now

so wait......... is there an OS/1 or did IBM just call it that

Yeah

thinkin about "halo" by depeche mode also @perefex.bsky.social lent me his bass synth pedal and the urge to use it on everything now is staggering

Oh no…

touched grass this weekend, was nice

The womens multi vitamins in my 31 year old body I am taking very bad care of

In addition to a really interesting phenomenon, this video also goes in-depth about how the X Windowing System/X11/X.org and what use-cases it was designed for, which I knew about but still ran into some new/fun info. Love this channel www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHGK...

Made my real name up and took my stage/online name from a text editor I was using (Vim) and paired it with the last name Lena with it because I looked how it sounded 👍

I know it's out of style to shame people's body but why the fuck does evil piece of shit venture capitalist with Epstein ties Marc Andreessen look like that lmaooo

The piercings are working as intended, gals!

Playing around with it more and I do think I'll try to learn the Rust language more after I'm out of school. Was making some progress but it got disrupted by other obligations, but I do think that it does some interesting stuff and it clicks with how I think about memory management.

I can't believe he would say this

Hey check this out starwarsweb.net

I do not support podcasts but @10bux.bsky.social is a delight. There will never be another website like Something Awful (for better or worse) and I’m glad somebody is actually talking about how fucking weird it is/was.

That’s craaaaazy (this happens every month) www.theregister.com/2026/04/22/a...

Austic kid who got really good grades or was in the gifted program is so boring. I hardly passed high school because I was too busy programming and writing fanfiction. Once I hacked into the school district’s email server. Never got caught bc I knew the rules too well. That’s much more interesting.

lrt that's literally the spare laptop I got, an IBM ThinkPad that had Windows XP installed. The crazy thing, it's built like a rock and still runs just fine with no issues minus the battery being unable to hold anything other than a very short charge (which can be easily swapped out)

do you miss when you enjoyed being on websites? introducing killthecomputer.com

Follow-up that apparently PDAs are still being made and they have full mechanical keyboards, data, wifi, bluetooth, multiple USB ports, and 4 GB of RAM and can run Debian? What the fuck if I had money to burn I’d buy this in an instant. store.planetcom.co.uk/collections/...

Ever since I first saw it, I have been obsessed with this list of American-sounding names because it feels like seeing what American names looks like to people who aren’t familiar and it’s so fucking funny to me.

I don't think the plant Callery Pears in Chicago, or they don't in my immediate area, so whenever people talk about the cum trees I'm like what the fuck

I would never be a CEO but. Apple Newton 2

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

Happy 4/20 Treksky

lol 420 likes on the weed post, nice.

I warned you about proprietary video codecs bro!!!! I told you dog!

The naming conventions used by technology companies and standards committees is so funny because they are either like “New Technology” and “Fast Ethernet” or they’re like “Palantir” or “Cyberdyne.” The classic post about the Torment Nexus is literally timeless.

we like to have fun here 🫡

We are so back

Told my gf that Tim Curry is 80 today and she was like “wow, so is he like actually gay or just like that?” and I was like ……………………………… I legitimately don’t know lmaooo

Have been really vibing with the IBM Plex typefaces lately for everyday use because of how legible and humanistic they are. The monospace typeface seemed a bit excessive at first with all the serifs and really decorative italics but I have come to find it very legible and usable.

imo “smart/intelligent/intellectual/etc.” is not easily able to be separated from eugenics and I wish more people acknowledged that in how they use it. also none of it matters, what actually gets you through life is being adaptable and willing to work hard and put passion into what you do and create

I feel like the main kinds of men I’m consistently attracted to are gay or queer and not interested and that’s fine because I love the shes and the theys and am perfectly fine w that but it is kinda funny to me. Working at a job where I am regularly around a lot of gay guys has 100% confirmed this.

It’s sleepy Saturday

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Hate that Markdown formatting, em dashes, and curly quotes are all associated with generative AI now because I’ve been using Markdown since I was in high school for plaintext notes and am the kind of typography nerd that uses uncommon/ technically correct punctuation whenever possible.

it’s funny to me when people say they are LGBTQ or some variation of that because it’s like, oh all at once?

on the 50th anniversary of the release of The Boys Are Back in Town I'm morally obligated to share my favorite story of all time

trying and failing to explain the importance of MGMT and Foster the People to my zoomer baby sister

I picked up some prints of this last night and they look GOOD >:)

you can spread thermal paste on toast like jam and eat it if you want. they can't take that from you
