Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

This Halloween remember: Damage to property matters only so far as it harms actual people.

UDP jokes are unreliable at best. You never know if someone's going to get it

Most adorable : the conductor had a printed sign "Tickets please" they hold in my sight in the silent area of the train rather than loudly asking for it. They said that'd be more comfortable for everyone than shouting and half of the people in the train were wearing headphones anyway.
I really, really like that idea and their commitment to just print these tiny signs.

tl;dr In just over 2 weeks I will donate a kidney.
Some of you may know that @joepie91 is preparing for a kidney transplant. That kidney is mine. But if everything goes right, not for much longer.
See their post at https://social.pixie.town/@joepie91/113227488818373457 for their perspective.
Lots of people have told me IRL that this is a huge thing. But honestly, it was a "no reason not to"-situation. I'm in near perfect health, and otherwise in a situation where the procedure won't really impact my life that much.

i saw this being floated around again and it felt very apt lately.

It's my last day of being a Pumpkaboo before the spell is lifted and I may return to my dragon form!
I have had a lot of fun as a Pumpkaboo and I'm especially looking forward to pumpkin carving today, though as a Pumpkaboo I certainly have some mixed feelings.
Meanwhile I'm learning elliptic curve cryptography, while in the room next to me, boxes are being sorted and repacked to free up space, and somehow my focus isn't completely shot either??

The gender of the day is an angry gnome on a spaceship.
The street here is outright crowded today. Painters are still repainting the block, bird-blocking mesh installers were installing today, the garbage truck came to pick up the plastic waste, then there was a DPD delivery (mattress) and a DHL delivery (box) several hours later, *and then* the 'leaf collection parade' (tractor + massive vacuum cart + two guys with leafblowers directing leaves towards it) showed up. It's a miracle that there haven't been any conflicts today.

Tech CEO: Revenue, profits and subscribers are at an all time high and we are incredibly optimistic about our new products, therefore, we have no choice but to let go 20% of our employees. I take full responsibility for these layoffs, which will have no negative financial impact on me.

@joepie91 Same. I've always been a print debugger. I know how to use breakpoint/step debuggers, but I find that in many cases, print debugging is significantly faster and easier. My main reason for breakpoints on lines/variables/events is to figure out what the heck is calling/changing it, and after that I usually add some more print statements.
One of my favourite extremely simple features of Perl is that a bare "warn();" will print the file and line number to stderr at runtime.

Today, I present to you this image that goes so well with Halloween.
I had no idea Konijn was doing this until I zoomed in on the picture 😹
So, enjoy a Draculating Konijn.

I love carving punkins
You do an Art with your friends
Nobody's really good at it
You share it briefly with your neighbours but it's by nature, ephemeral
It costs very little money; there's no way to monetize it
You don't have to justify it in terms of starting a new business or career
Baked punkin seeds are a great snack
The used punkin gets composted, there's approximately zero plastic involved and the worst thing you can say about it is that it's an inefficient use of a vegetable
