when i first coded my blog i was like, should i have comments? and instead i decided to make a static site without analytics or javascript because the only comment i really want is "i believe in us, comrade"

@beeps Absolutely, and segmenting up the intersection risks escalating from the already not-great implication that neopronouns are a combination of he/she/they to implying that particular neopronouns align more strongly with particular "standard" pronouns - which is something we probably shouldn't assume.

Maybe the user setting the pronoun could decide where on the intersection is highlighted, with perhaps an option of choosing a point outside of the rings entirely.

But at a certain point it begins to stretch the constraints and utility of the iconography.

@beeps Neat idea, I'm not sure that I love that the neopronouns are a clear afterthought all bunched together in one category - but nice to have interactive iconography for pronouns otherwise.

Somehow I hadn't (knowingly) seen the pronoun icon before now, but somehow I've seen it multiple times today.

That's sorta neat.

I think there ought to be significantly more memes utilizing this image, it's so good 🏴‍☠️

Firehose access on Bluesky gets shut off for Bridgy Fed for a while https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/discussions/3094 https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/1520#issuecomment-2492534380

Not malicious, but what's notable here is that Bridgy Fed was unable to work w/ Bluesky during this period. I think @mcc is right that it's a reminder this is a result of centralization https://mastodon.social/@mcc/113541216191108214

My train which normally ends in Utrecht wil continue to Groningen Europapark, but the middle trainset will end in Zwolle. I don't believe that

@joepie91 who would win: a WAF that costs 400 USD a month, or two bored teenagers

@joepie91 Relatedly, surprising amount of internet far-right movements turn out to be headed up by some aggrieved fourteen year old.

With PHP 8.4 release last week, here is your annual reminder:

Symfony and Laravel have a massive core team, with lots of PHP internals connections, that set an unrealistically high bar for being compatible with new PHP versions.

Don't expect single-maintainer teams to be anywhere close to this without getting outside help in some way.

Run a library's testsuite on PHP 8.4, sponsor some money, whatever. Just don't expect them to simply support PHP 8.4 from day 0.

an example of a "social rule" in the terminal is that if you have a noninteractive program, you can generally expect that `Ctrl-C` will stop it, programs can do whatever they want but it would just be kind of rude for a noninteractive program to not respect `Ctrl-C`

(there are different social expectations around how to quit interactive programs)

I haven't totally sold myself yet on this "what are the secret rules of the terminal?” framing but it feels like a reasonable way to talk about how, even though “the terminal” is a lot of separate things working together, it "feels" like a cohesive environment that has a lot of rules that you can generally expect to be true.

Some of those rules are Unchangeable Facts and some of them are just Vague Social Rules but understanding the vague social rules is just as important as knowing The Facts.
