Just got your text from last night: you need to cut the red wire first to stop the countdown.
This content type is full of IndieWeb post types, which are all content types which allow me to take greater ownership of my own data. These are likely unrelated to my blog posts. You can find a better breakdown by actual post kind below:
Just got your text from last night: you need to cut the red wire first to stop the countdown.
@sil@mastodon.social Not sure if you saw this; https://clig.dev/ - seems in line with what I think I've seen you previously wrote (and if it isn't, I'd love to hear your views on why not 😃)
some naive networking greybeard once wrote that a good URL never changes, or something but URLs do change because everything changes, and the expectations around their longevity and change are one place where people exert power and have power used over them. if people rely on a URL they're actually relying on a stream of labor. There is no "static" content, all data storage requires some portion of ongoing renewal: new materials and ongoing human care.
Most folks don’t seem to realize how gravely under-resourced and under-funded the #PHP project is. For a technology that powers 77% of the web and has very little corporate backing, it's a wonder the project makes any headway at all. At times, it almost feels like the industry is doing this on purpose to choke out the language.
In light of the GitHub Universe announcements where they announce they are “re-founded on Copilot” allow me to re-present my blog post: https://blog.edwardloveall.com/lets-make-sure-github-doesnt-become-the-only-option

I have a new way that people can support my work, if they’d rather not use Ko-fi, it's direct via Stripe: https://support.thisismissem.social/ This means less fees, better invoices & receipts, and an overall simpler admin experience for myself. You can also manage your subscriptions and payments with ease too!

Whenever faced with excess meetings or unnecessary bureaucracy, I remember the contractor's mantra: > It all bills the same.
Until there is a definitive adjudication of the copyright status of LLM training data, it is *deeply irresponsible* to use Github Copilot for open source. I will refuse contributions created with it on any project I'm involved with, as well as permanently ban any user caught sneaking in Copilot-generated code in defiance of this rule. I would strongly encourage all maintainers to take this stand as well. License headaches are already bad enough without secret poison pills being injected.
The year I worked at Google was the Year Of Social, and everyone's OKRs involved integrating with Google+ somehow, and if you did that you got a large bonus. Anyway getting strong vibes like that when GitHub's new font family's landing page starts randomly talking about Copilot half-way. Update: The above has been described as a cheap dunk, and to be fair the CoPilot output having different font thing is fine. But. I guess I should expand with some context about my year at Google—
One of my ex colleagues used to do this a lot and it took me a while to unlearn that "Nice." was actually a valid and not sarcastic reply 😅
I’ve been accused by millennial friends of using “gen x full stops”. “is charlie mad at me??”
I’m trying really hard to let things go because I cannot take on the entire world but if I tell you somebody is non-binary your first question should not be “AMAB or AFAB”? That is very hostile. Thank you!
Oh nah, GitHub is doing too much

AI-powered content generation tools give me the mega ick. Why should I read something you couldn’t be bothered to write? @maggie@indieweb.social is guiding us through the dark forest of generative AI #ffconf
I dunno gang, maybe this whole "internet" thing was a mistake #ffconf
#ffconf in general is a good vibes conference, but there is always a talk or two that makes me go "oh god we're all doomed"

1 bar of 3G is not enough for me to enthuse about excellent talks at #FFConf 😭

“Instead of talking about hard skills and soft skills, let’s actually call them what they are. One set of skills is technical skills, skills for dealing with technology and technical problems And one set of skills is human skills, things for dealing with humans.” 🎥 @kball https://youtube.com/shorts/mNHX-QlHAlg
When I repeatedly am asked “Why accessibility though? What’s the business case?” I get cranky (but I’m working on that). It’s the law. Why do I have to argue a business case for anyone to *checks notes* not break the law?? Yes there is a whole ‘nother aspect where it shouldn’t have had to become a law in the first place but FFS.

The same sort of pattern can show up with something like being trans or gay. Anything that society stigmatizes, despite it being a thing a person is born with or otherwise has no control over. If people are punished for being themselves, they hide themselves. They break themselves to fit into the mold. 4/4
If you have had an adult family member or friend that was recently diagnosed with a previously unknown developmental psychological disorder (ADHD, autism, etc), you might have noticed something that confused you. Right around the time they were diagnosed, maybe even a bit before, they "suddenly" began to exhibit symptoms when never had before. You might be like, "I've known this person for X years and they never behaved like this." You might even think they are "acting" or something. 1/4
The truth is exactly the opposite. Anyone that's "different" in our culture learns very quickly to hide their differences. The world punishes anyone who's different — usually not explicitly, but by enforcing expectations that cannot be met. People start doing what's known as "masking" — they hold back their true selves and maintain an appearance of normalcy by any means. Usually masking is driven by guilt, shame, and anxiety, and it often leads to burnout or worse. It takes a toll on people. 2/4
Your friend or family member hasn't started acting for "attention" or to get a medication or whatever. They've *stopped* acting. The person you *thought* you knew was only a façade constructed for protection . You only saw the armor they put on everyday, not them. Now that they've learned their differences aren't "their fault" or because "they are broken" or whatever, they can let their guard down. For maybe the first time in their life, they aren't forcing themselves to be who they aren't. 3/4
One of the more fun projects I’ve worked on at Tailscale is golink, which provide simple, private shortcuts that you can share with others on your tailnet. We have hundreds of go links at Tailscale …

An anonymous internet is highly valuable; a pseudonymous internet is highly valuable; a named internet is highly valuable. Attempting to regulate these 3 Internets as if they are the same is ultimately futile.

Observation: if you're someone who angrily rants about how terrible a bunch of software is: chances are extremely high you've never actually built any notable software used by non-trivial amounts of people. It's almost as if reading many many people shredding your work to pieces on the internet makes you mildly less inclined to do the same to others. Who could have guessed?
https://www.pcgamer.com/valve-steam-deck-oled-announcement/ reports Valve making a OLED Steam Deck. I'm pretty happy with mine, the lowest model of the second batch. Frankly, it's not "just" a console to me, it's a whole separate computer that I have to maintain (but in a kinda fun way and with a journaled file system so rolling back is easy). For more causal folk, this might be the model they've been waiting for. A brighter screen, more power and it's lighter? (https://jacky.wtf/2023/11/mOe5)
