Well. With my magnum opus being effectively realized, NOW is finally the time to share it: images of my very own museum exhibition!!!
The name of the exhibition is „On distant worlds- how could aliens look like?“ and is located in the natural history Museum Niebüll, in northern Germany! The exhibition is on display from April to October this year!
Here is a thread.. >:3

Thats all! I have been working on Phtanum privately for over six years, and to have my work displayed in a natural history museum like this is still absolutely surreal to me. I overhauled the entire project for this exhibition- new groups of life, new weird features, and a crazier and more grounded biosphere than ever before. And thanks to all the wonderful fedi entities who supported me in one way or another as well <3

The Home Assistant wiki badly needs a section on how to properly apologise to your family members
I am so, so exhausted now. Did a second trip to Action today, bringing back a crapload of ground cover, so I was already tired by the time I got back, and then the vine removal... including removing the two 'base plants' which had developed roots with a diameter of like 8-10cm...
Completed! That's like, 3 years worth of vine backlog deleted. Now nice things can finally grow there, instead of just endless uncontrollable vine overgrowth!

Go and browser search 'intelligence, IQ, racism, white supremacy', and do a bit of reading. Go on. As a treat.

I don't think I'll ever get over the attribution of "elevated sense of justice" as a "symptom" of autism. My sibling in science. This is not what you discovered. What you discovered is that "willingness to cheat when nobody is watching" or (perhaps, even) "virtue signaling" are symptoms of allism.
Autistic people have the sense of justice that allistic people claim to follow. Autistic people are more likely to actually behave ethically, regardless of whether anyone is watching or there is a social reward for it. This is not a weird foible with autists! This is a wild ethical breach by allists! Willingness to compromise on your stated ethical values is not "normal" regardless of how common it may be. Thats's weird! And troubling!
That's something worth looking into when it comes to allistic people. Leave autistic people with our propensity to simply believe and act accordingly out of your doublethink.

food, capitalism
Supermarket croissants feel very illustrative for the state of food manufacturing; you can get them anywhere and their ingredients are of higher quality than ever in history, but they still taste like shit because letting it proof overnight and develop sufficient flavour is too expensive in a capitalist manufacturing environment, so instead they just add a bunch of sugar

✅ Laptop fixed
The new display isn't 2k and does have a little burn in, but I'm prioritising a working laptop over minor details 😛
And I get some art to hang on my wall 🙂

You've seen that "honest anatomical chart" cartoon?
venting, 'alternative' software dev
I'm really disappointed in a lot of the 'alternative' software circles (environmental sustainability, minimalism, etc.). They often seem to operate on belief systems not just for their values (which is fine!) but also for technical beliefs which are trivial to disprove, resulting in often severe compromises that just aren't necessary.
It's for the same reason that I'm baffled by people who talk about how we need to 'organize' and 'collaborate' and then in virtually the same breath complain about projects having 'too many dependencies'. Dependencies are just about the optimal tool for doing in software dev what you say we should be doing!
I don't know, this stuff is just exhausting to me. I've already spent too much energy having to debate against people's belief systems in ordinary software development to reduce harm, I don't want to have to do it in supposedly progressive circles too, to get anywhere near a solution.
I just want to get to systemic solutions as quickly as possible with as little collateral damage as possible, whatever the best strategy for that ends up being, through methodical analysis of the *full* problem space. Why is this such a difficult ask?
