If you intend to keep masto away from paid advertisements, might I suggest welcoming sex workers with wide arms 😌
Credit card companies and advertisers hate us!!

OpenCola reminds me of the work I did making my own Club Mate clone, including a delicious sugar free Club Mate clone.
The one thing I never cracked was Club Mate Winter Edition.
Maybe this is worth turning into a project?
ponderings about trauma and parenting
I can't help but wonder whether the widespread cycle of "trauma and abuse passed down through the generations" might have something to do with our collective insistence that children be raised by exactly one (1) set of parents, who generally have not yet learned to process their own trauma and receive no outside support
probably a spicy take in some circles
Poverty can be a form of disability; it can significantly impair your executive functioning, and make you literally unable to complete certain tasks
@vantablack White tech dudes love to talk about "creating a forum for open discussion" while completely ignoring the uncomfortable contributions already made by marginalized folks in other venues, it seems
Fuck you, #Adobe, and the "open-use" you rode in on, for expecting bloggers to do your unpaid(!) advertising for you, and trying to dress it up as a courtesy
The internet works a lot better when you actually plug the fiber back into the modem
@AndyDeardentsa @GLaDTheresCake @mozilla (Also Mozilla is very obviously Google's stick against antitrust regulators, too)
@AndyDeardentsa @GLaDTheresCake @mozilla It's not that simple either; the existence of Mozilla is *also* sucking out any motivation to build something better, because too many people are like "we have Mozilla already, right?"
A bad competitor can, in fact, be worse than none at all
@zens@merveilles.town (And I'm mostly talking about personal stuff, not 'distributable' software)
@zens@merveilles.town I mean, I'm a professional developer, and honestly I would still want something like MS Access, for those cases where I really just need a database with some bog standard UI to get a job done quick

I went to my local coffee shop/roaster this morning and saw that they had a Sumatra available on pour-over, so I went ahead and got that because it's been a while since I've had beans from Indonesia (I grew up in Indonesia)
when I got home, I got an email from the roaster promoting these same beans, and apparently the local place was working with my old high school roommate to source the beans??

re: software design error
@freakazoid I feel like it illustrates the point really well that that was not, in fact, the offender of today 🙃
re: software design error
Recent offenders (not exhaustive):
- GraphQL
- Redux Toolkit
software design error
Every single data fetching library seems to make the exact same mistake:
- Realize that nested data retrieval can be reliably decomposed into multiple retrieval calls
- Settle on this approach in the library design and build around all the tools around it
- "Oh right, we need support for mutations too"
- Try to extend the existing fetching model with a 'mutation mode'
- Fail to realize that nested mutations *do not* decompose into multiple mutation calls... and end up with a completely bolted-on mutation API
Is this like, the data fetching API design equivalent of "forgetting to put on the heatshrink before soldering the connector every time", or something?

ableist trauma
Ableist trauma is having learned to reflexively make up excuses why you didn't do something, because nobody ever believed you when you told them the truth.

En er wordt vergeten dat mensen met een onderdrukt immuunsysteem, bijvoorbeeld na een nieuwe nier, geen goede immuunrespons aanmaken op een vaccin. Die mensen laten we nu gewoon zitten. Die moeten kiezen tussen risico nemen met hun leven of sociale isolatie. En krijgen ze een uitkering doordat ze door deze situatie niet meer veilig kunnen werken?
