I had a chat with @proactivepaul@mastodon.social about Barcamp. Turns out it’s not hosted in a bar, nor is it a camping trip. It’s a gathering of people geeking out over whatever they want to talk about. I’m looking forward to learning a lot of random facts next month! #bclxii

I don’t want to alarm you but we are getting dangerously close to the 10 year anniversary of The Force Awakens

bad game idea: French French Revolution whether that's a rhythm game involving deep tongue-kissing or guillotines is up to you

Ring fit fucking slaps

Another day, another HN comment thread that's mostly full of people complaining about someone's use of furry art in a technical post. This time, however, it's not me, Xe, or Cendyne that they're bitching about! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37887426

Summary: we are leaving Twitter because Elon Musk is encouraging hate and division. See you on LinkedIn and Mastodon!

You don't need to mansplain, you need a good pegging and to STFU. 💀​

I've been sent some bone-conducting Bluetooth headphone which - so the manufacturer says - are waterproof. I don't have a swimming pool at home (😢 ) so I'm going to try them out in the shower. There won't be any videos - but if this thing electrocutes my head please know that I died doing what I love; dicking around with weird gadgets from China.

The second annual Petaluma Pride Festival was a wild success, and waaay bigger than anticipated. Now it's time to rest, recover, ... and do the bookkeeping.

This is the 7th edition of People and Blogs, the series where I ask interesting people to talk about themselves and their blogs. Today we have Ana …

I spend an unreasonable amount of time making sure my blog renders well even if CSS isn't loaded. Whether it's a dodgy Internet connection, a text-only browser, or something else - it's nice knowing that my blog is in a logical order and perfectly usable without decorations. So fire up Lynx or w3m and take a look at your site. What do you need to change?

Just found the Google Sound Amplifier app for people who need ambient noises amplified. Really useful! Needs headphones in but definitely boosts. Except it only uses the phone microphone. You can't attach a different microphone and set it to use that. Alternatives?

"Unleash your Creativity with the power of Leonardo Ai " Maybe change that to "unleash your ability to generate images based on the *actual* talents of others with unethical art sourcing while claiming that you're a creative person because you don't care"

@cadey@pony.social Confluence is /dev/null as a service, but with added CVEs

@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me I found explainxkcd a useful source when I made my own xkcd searcher (now a dead project) The transcript sections would be a good source for real alt text e.g. https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/2840:_Earth_Layers Edit: explainxkcd is still alive; my searcher doesn’t exist anymore

@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me still a WIP but the author of “alt text reminder bot” has been working on this for a few years https://my.alt-text.org

@atpfm@mastodon.social good episode. On the topic of “life streams,” there are some people like me in the #IndieWeb community that use our websites for this purpose. I record every podcast I listen to on @overcastfm@mastodon.social automatically. Every show and movie through Trakt. Every significant place I go with Swarm. My location in realtime using Overland (https://overland.p3k.app), and more. My stream: https://cleverdevil.io/content/all A monthly summary of activity: https://cleverdevil.io/summary/2022/11

I did a thing👀 https://thenewstack.io/mvp-or-tvp-why-your-internal-developer-platform-needs-both/ This is off the back of amazing work by @matthewskelton@mastodon.social / @manuelpais@mastodon.social with @TeamTopologies@mastodon.social and Gregor Hohpe. My hope is to get more eyes on the concepts of Thinnest Viable (in addition to Minimum Viable) Platforms and Floating Platforms. Let me know what you think!

I’m so happy to have been featured in the latest edition of the beautiful https://peopleandblogs.com You can still sign up to their newsletter or subscribe to the RSS feed and check the previous editions on the website. But here’s my contribution to it 💛 https://manuelmoreale.com/pb-ana-rodrigues

Deactivated my Microsoft account. That'll be over a decade of games, achievements, history, email and the like all gone once it's done. That was not an easy choice to make. And now I'll be alienating myself from anyone who plays on there. I still have my 360 (and a bunch of games to play on) so I'll keep that but I'll probably look to homebrew it so I can pull my stats into a SQLite database somewhere. I'm at the point now where I care a lot less if I "miss out". It'll be on Steam (because PC gaming - though still a cliff, once climbed - brings it to everyone) or GOG or what have you. I'm putting my faith into PC gaming, too. It's what got me into gaming (on library computers) and it's what keeps me interested. Never had a PlayStation so never had to worry about that.
