getting a text in the middle of the night and it's just my loathsome vizier saying "Your enemies lie in wait, my lord!!" what am I supposed to do with that. its four in the morning

Cursed idea: Ask a shitty manager. Like @askamanager.org but they pretend to be any of the hardcore techbro managers I had at software companies instead.

i know im 20 years late to this but holy fuck super mario galaxy really is just that goddamn good

Hello Fediverse -- let's have an #introduction and introduce ourselves :3 We're dotmeow, a queer-run community project to register the gTLD .meow. But not only for meows and giggles! The profits of this gTLD shall go to community causes, turning every domain into queer community support, especially focusing on trans issues. While we've already passed the ICANN Application Support Program, we're just now launching our web & social media presence(s). So while there's not much to see here yet, follow us if you're interested in registering a .meow domain and potentially supporting us in the way -- crowdfunding TBA soon. Outside of announcements we want to engage with the fediverse as regular fedizens and won't spam you with meaningless ads <3

I'm so glad y'all wear your conference badges when you treat people poorly, especially women. I can call you by your name when I call you out on it.

Who the US labels a 'terrorist' depends entirely on what serves American strategic interests. The CIA trained Bin Laden to fight the Sovjets and the US is allied with Saudia Arabia who sponsored 9/11 attackers. If we're counting civilian casualties the worst terrorist organization is Israel's IDF.

Redid my website to be static instead of wordpress and I've uploaded PDFs for a couple previously offline only things: Open Submission Window Now Closed and Records from the Alabastion Federation Archives. asterolsen.com https://asterolsen.com/

There are many infuriating things about Atlassian’s tools. The fact that Confluence calls individual posts “blogs” is top of my list.

Look out if you're at Kubecon, @lookitup.baby and I have a new way to cause (good) trouble

I wish It was socially acceptable to carry around that YuGiOh arm board thing that holds cards, but except use it to grab your debit card all baddass-like when its time to pay.

Absolutely sending me how I look like an innocent baby and Kat looks like an evil mastermind [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Coding agents like Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex CLI represent a genuine step change in how useful LLMs can be for producing working code. These agents can now directly …

It’s been quite a year of self-discovery.

Events in the US right now are a mistake

By the way, a really fun thing about getting added to a years-old private channel is the backscroll. :)

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani. The president and his allies came after him. Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute. He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters. His politics can win anywhere.

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

If you’re wondering what the future of the Democratic Party looks like, watch the young, brown democratic socialist on the TV right now.

Some readers read every word, others skim. Some readers speak your language, others don't. Some readers read the original version, others a summary.

Well there it is. I've finally made it. I've reached the top.

published a lil JavaScript package called is-mdm, inspired by @lgug2z.com's blog post that was at the top of lobste.rs yesterday and wrote a post about it: bnb.im/posts/is-mdm/ https://bnb.im/posts/is-mdm/

A quick post about is-mdm, a package I wrote to detect MDM enrollment that was inspired by a Rust implementation found on Lobste.rs from LGUG2Z.

If you dual-license your software in such a way that it requires a paid license for commercial use, here are two code blobs for you. macOS pub fn mdm_enrollment() -> eyre::Result<(bool, Option<String>)> { let mut command = Command::new("/usr/bin/profiles"); command.args(["status", "-type", "enrollment"]); let stdout = command.output()?.stdout; let output = std::str::from_utf8(&stdout)?; if output.contains("MDM enrollment: No") { return Ok((false, None)); } let mut server = None; for line in output.lines() { if line.starts_with("MDM server") { server = Some(line.trim_start_matches("MDM server: ").to_string()) } } Ok((true, server)) } Windows pub fn mdm_enrollment() -> eyre::Result<(bool, Option<String>)> { let mut command = Command::new("dsregcmd"); command.args(["/status"]); let stdout = command.output()?.stdout; let output = std::str::from_utf8(&stdout)?; if !output.contains("MdmUrl") { return Ok((false, None)); } let mut server = None; for line in output.lines() { if line.contains("MdmUrl") { let line = line.trim().to_string(); server = Some(line.trim_start_matches("MdmUrl : ").to_string()) } } Ok((true, server)) } Looking at mobile device management (MDM) enrollment is not a silver bullet for identifying corporate devices running your software, but it is a good start.

This is why I have a website. It’s also why everything I’ve ever written has appeared on my website with *very* few exceptions Having a single domain name that’s YOU is invaluable. My website gets lots of compliments on its branding and appearance. My slides borrow that appearance, too It matters! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

It feels really great to reject someone who offers to pay you money for something you don't want to do a HUGE privilege

IMO all parsers should accept trailing commas. Makes Codegen easier for one, and is more consistent/less annoying to edit/move around parts of lists.
