If you're still on TikTok at this point…hope you like the US government knowing your sexuality and citizenship status.

[lyrics posting] > Het gaat om; ons realiseren dat wij oneindig veel meer creatieve manieren hebben om samen te zijn en om vreugdevol samen te zijn, dan die manieren waartoe wij nu toe in staat zijn. En ja, dat is ergens deprimerend, maar betekent ook: deze orde zal verdwijnen. Die verkruimelt […]

I'm glad I make backups

RE: https://milliways.social/@obsidian/115895147598049232 The reason push notifications on my Matrix server weren't working was sporadic DNS failure, so keep that counter at zero ...

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Tutanota/115864293275542007 Google doing all of this is just making the case for using @postmarketOS more and more for me honestly

Had an amazing time at my first CCC, was a lot of fun meeting people old and new. Thanks for a great event everyone :BlobhajTinyHeart: #39c3

me: oh this code is really strange and brittle, why was it done like this _checks commit_ _sigh_
