That's not me creating a "filter bubble". That's me having learned to focus my energy and time.

Me: I need a "personal massager"
Hitachi: No problem, here's our Magic Wand. Anything else?
Me: You wouldn't happen to know where I can get a 20-ton industrial crawler excavator would you?
Hitachi: You're not gonna believe this

#Accessibility / #Disability awareness in a nutshell

after several attempts at testing it, my conclusion is that #bun is overhyped and rushed to ‘release’ software of alpha quality

I see no applications where I want to use it, even its own tools aren't working. trading stability for performance is probably the worst trade you can make

and I have suspicions about the intents behind deno and bun. like I just don't have any good feeling about VC funded business like that

ars technica: we don't know how they did it but google chrome now extracts a pint of blood every time you log on

chrome user, dizzy from blood loss: I swear to god I am like this close to switching to firefox

another chrome user, on the verge of fainting from severe blood loss: no need to resort to that, just switch to [insert today's trendy chrome fork here] and be smart like meeee

For anyone who is considering it for their own org, I shifted my org to a four day workweek several months ago, just as others globally are starting to (including, civil servants in Scotland!)

100% endorse. We are getting the same amount of work done because we are less bored, stressed and tired. We all take off Fridays. Everyone’s pay remained the same.

Some people use the time for a paid second gig. Others to volunteer or like me, to read a book with a cat snuggled near by.

#4dayworkweek

Please make it stop

Hi!

I have toyed around with a experiment for a while. Given the fact that providers like Hetzner will charge for IPv4-space now, I am interested to see how 'IPv6'-ready the fediverse is.
I would like to know what people think of my methodology, and if there is any feedback.

Boosts welcomed!

Daydreaming about how to design a new device that fits into the spot where #retrocomputing sits. Nostalgia is, of course, some of the flavor; a visit to childhood excitement and energy. In addition, I remember those machines felt almost like a new state of matter. A dynamic and responsive mineral!

To sum up the entire problem of the transphobic assumption that trans women need to be passing to be considered women is when cis women don't look "passing" enough to some people and suddenly aren't considered women despite being women in every respect that matters to anyone except transphobes.

The result can be people receiving death threats and other harmful abuse for literally not being pretty enough to someone they probably don't even know or care about.
Yay. Congrats. If you don't see the err of those ways then please take a long while to think about what you consider progress and what you want the world to look like in three generations.

omg i just saw one person with a manual wheelchair and one with a power chair, where the manual user was holding onto the back of the power chair

traumaqueers make the best #rust programmers because rustc gives us something we wish we had our whole life: someone who will tell us when we've made a mistake, what the mistake was, and what we can do to fix it, and then actually acknowledge that we did so.

back to where you came from wicked beast! #cat
