Attached: 1 image I'D JUST LIKE TO INTERJECT FOR A MOMENT. WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO AS LINUX IS IN FACT GNU/LINUX, OR AS I'VE RECENTLY TAKEN TO CALLING IT, GNU + LINUX. LINUX IS NOT AN OPERATING SYSTEM UNTO ITSELF, BUT RATHER ANOTHER FREE COMPONENT OF A FULLY FUNCTIONING GNU SYSTEM

These are all separate vectors: 1. VC vs user-supported 2. Files vs databases 3. Open vs proprietary formats 4. Open vs closed source 5. Extensible vs non-extensible 6. Private vs privacy-invasive An open source app can be VC-backed, store its data in a proprietary format, have terrible APIs, and include telemetry

watching the episode of queer eye set at the lousiana school for the deaf (which is the campus my father went to when he went blind! we love it) and it's clear that they were using translators and assistive technology throughout the shoot, but they removed all of it from the final cut which, I don't know, feels like a choice to me

i know i disappeared, but i’m in the trenches of the seasonal sads, will be back soon!

Trying to do a career change into a predominantly academic and NGO driven field in an ongoing pandemic which means I don’t want to work in an office, and in a country in which I’m not fluent in the native language, is certainly a decision I have made

Finally started a task I intended to start about ten months ago. I’m cured now right

It's time to write a conference talk, so I think it's appropriate to spend several hours building a new slide deck template.

have been wondering why my cat has gotten so heavy over the past month and 😩 she figured out how to dispense food from the feeder on her own

What an amazing #soocon24 I'm utterly exhausted from meeting so many old and new friends. Thank you to all the volunteers, speakers, and attendees for making it such a fun and friendly space.

Uh, social experiment? How about we do a socialism experiment instead

The episode of @gotime@changelog.social I recorded is out! Just in time for the release of #golang 1.22. :ablobcatattention: https://changelog.com/gotime/302

I keep hearing about post-op girls who can't remember what it felt like to have a penis and I think "that sounds like a thing people say that's not real but everyone wants to be real." Like, we love our entire lives with these things, we're not gonna just *forget.* Let's be sensible. It's been 4 days since surgery and I legit cannot remember what it felt like to have a penis. I'm not even sure what it feels like to have a vagina yet, it's still filled with packing and sewn shut. I honestly don't know what hanging a vagina is like. But I have no memory of what having a penis I'd like. None. It almost feels like a part of my consciousness was removed with the penis.

#soocon24 is like open source conferences used to be. This is more of a compliment than it may sound like.

some days i wake up feeling low and then i remember that i am indirectly responsible for literally hundreds of thousands of orgasms

Spent the last few days building a small site which will convert an OPML file of RSS subscriptions into an HTML list of links to their respective websites. I needed it for a blogroll I’m planning to add, but I figured this might be something others may find useful. https://opml-to-blogroll.lmika.app

If you're a girl and walk up to me in a bar or some social setting and start talking to me about a Fourier transformation or some other complex math shit please know that I will almost immediately stop listening to you. I don't mean to. It's just that my brain will be overloaded trying to figure out how you're supposed to keep talking about whatever random incomprehensible shit you're saying while my tongue is exploring your mouth.
