Something I'd really like to work on this next year of my life is to not say/think "stupid" or "dumb" or "idiot" to myself when I make small mistakes. It's frequent and automatic, and I know it's unhealthy.

I think having a replacement response would help. Maybe "oops"? Anyone else managed to break this habit?

I hate it when I see something and it gives me an idea to look up something, but then I forget what I was going to look up and I can't find the thing that gave me the idea anymore.

I'm building something which could uncharitably be described as "an open proxy providing attack amplification as a service", but which I'd rather describe as "a core part of tools like RSS feed readers": ask it to monitor a URL, and it'll check periodically to see if it has changed and tell you so. I'd like to make it a publicly available service so people can more easily build new tools for noticing when web pages change. What are some ways I can encourage good applications and discourage abuse?

fun fact you can just be trans. like just do it. try it. woke up feeling kinda girl today? yeah try it out who cares. more boy another day? cool do that too. nobody can stop you

For the next two days, you can unlock 13 amazing adult games for free as part of GOG's Freedom To Buy campaign. Included in the lineup is House Party, a game I star in!

I am incredibly honored to stand alongside GOG, Eek Games, and so many other bold, creative voices in adult gaming fighting for free expression.

Participate in this campaign, boost this post, and help push back against the threat MasterCard and Visa pose to our civil liberties.

Credit card content cops can't control culture. Not now, not ever.

So, who else is going to #WHY2025 and wants to meet up?

I lost the original source, but a historian on Bluesky pointed out that, over time, cities are more real and durable than countries.

That's been rattling around my head for weeks. Not sure what to do with it yet -- abandoning folks who live elsewhere certainly ain't it -- but it feels significant.

the early lenovo T14/P14s keyboard, trackpoint and trackpad combo seems to be the right size and depth to make an input cover for the Framework 13; going any older than that would add height

later this week I'll sketch up a full schematic~

Ok wait, there is an active Vectrex Homebrew scene?! Why did I not know about this? Really thinking about getting one now 👀
Someone into that going to #why2025 by chance?

If everything works out I will have BTTT (BGP to the tent) at #why2025 thanks to the on-site IXP 😄

If you have a ASN too and are at the WHY, maybe this is of interest to you: https://wiki.why2025.org/IXP

(Disclaimer: This is organized by others, I'm only a user, but wanted to spread the word)

GOG is giving away a bunch of free "banned" games and taking a stance against the payment processors who caved.

Go grab your free games and show some support.

🕯On 2 August 1944, around 4,300 Roma and Sinti were murdered in Auschwitz-Birkenau, ending of the so-called ‘Gypsy family camp’.

This was part of the Roma Holocaust, which took over 500,000 lives.

Today we honour the memory of victims & stand against prejudice of Romani people.

👨🏼‍🏫With the Council of Europe, we're working to bring Roma Holocaust history in school curricula across Europe, so young people can grow up embracing inclusion.
