I talk tech, LGBT rights, furry shit, and politics.

I talk a lot of bullshit, which is why we invented content warnings. I apply liberally, please filter what doesn't appeal :)

:BlobhajTransPrideHeart: rights are human rights.

Came up in a discussion, and I think it's an important point: You don't need to write software to be mass marketable. It can be niche, weird and fun and as long as it speaks the common protocol, who gives a fuck if only you and some friends use it :)

We have an unhealthy obsession with naming things "sensibly" and making sure it's marketable.

Sod that, be fun with it! It's for you and your community first.

Just dreampt up an analogy on how my (sometimes frustrating) thought process works in conversations.

Imagine we're sitting in a park looking at clouds and you ask me "what do you see in the clouds?". I'll respond with "ooh, a plane" and then internally I'll think (in the space of 20s):

  • But what kind of plane?
  • Boeing 737?
  • Wait, Boeing who have safety issues?
  • Wait safety issues?
  • Did I ever resolve my servers backup issues?

"Hmm, I should fix my server today"

It's weird but I love writing captions for my images. Just feels like it's good fun to write proper descriptions of what you're sending.

Did a walk around the nearby woodland just now and the moonlight and stars were just amazing.

Cleared all the thinking gunk out of my head.

Right, I know that oat milk is expensive (why?) and it's so very woke to drink it but it's genuinely much nicer than dairy milk.

I stopped drinking dairy a few years ago and going back it just tastes...nah.

I'm going to need to step back a bit from socials for the moment. Something pretty devastating came up last night and I need my brain to be grounded 💚.

See you all in a few.

I appreciate you all :blobfoxheartcute:

Weird one this morning...My Firefox lost all of my cookies. Across the board. I wonder if it has anything to do with my disk nearly filling.
