I've realized today that it's lose-lose for me to talk about the flaws of Mastodon. Between getting picked apart, yelled at, and threatened, it's just not worth it. I don't think the decisionmakers want to change a thing and most of you-all don't ever run into the problems I'm facing here.

If you don't have a thousand daily rituals involving watching your back and protecting yourself from literal harm, sit down, shut up, and listen.

I am tired of protected men trying to explain things to me. Just fix it.

Wow, setting the IIgs to monochrome gives a way way better crisper image than I would have guessed

Another quote of my own tumblr posts.

The fact there are two 2s is accurate to the tumblr post, btw.

I'm seeing people posting scripts for automated recovery.. Scripts don't work if the machine won't boot (it causes instant BSOD) -- you still need to manually boot the system in safe mode, get through BitLocker recovery (needs per system key), then execute anything.

Crowdstrike are huge, at a global scale that's going to take.. some time.

„If nothing else, this illustrates the disconnect between those building AI systems, and how much (or, rather, how little) they understand the jobs they wish to eliminate. A little humility goes a long way.”

Well...they played Duel of the Fates just before they quoted me about SpaceX being awful on my local CBC radio station! Wowee, that was awesome. I think it's time for me to get off the computer and snuggle goats for a while.

So...now what?

After all that, I am really not sure if what just happened was 100% legal.

I'm not sure what Canadians are supposed to do if they find space junk.

I have a nice map of where several pieces were found (along about 50km of the projected ground track), and I'm sure more pieces will be found in the coming months/years. What are people supposed to do with them? (The SpaceX dudes did not answer that question.)

So, I'm sure this story's far from over.

if you have any theories why, I’m all ears.

*deep breath*
GUIs are broken on Linux

Good OSS photo editing tools don't exist

That goes for video editing as well, and audio, and literally anything that isn't blender

Mobile and touch screens? In this OSS? Pffh

"Coding on an iPad means you're a fake loser" is a sentiment that needs to stop

WordPress and PHP are real, useful, and your ego won't die if you admit you use them

CSS is a real programming language, so is html

Y'know how there's a pattern of behavior where someone says something is bad about the tech industry or community or OSS software or something, and then every single nerd within a 50 square mile radius says *WELL ACKTUALLY*??

I just realized that if, like, even 10% of them just... Sat down and spent some energy fixing the problem instead of insulting someone for experiencing it, we would've solved all those issues by now

The FCC comment period is still open for direct-to-cell gigantic satellites. And people who pay attention to the FCC are noticing that loads of private individuals are submitting comments on this!

A sincere thank you to everyone who's already submitted, and there's still 1 week left to submit your own comments if you have energy for it

Will it make a difference? No one really knows. The FCC is a black box. But this is pretty much the only way to tell them what you think, so worth a try!

A group of concerned astronomers, artists, and policy experts have come together and formed Kessler Rebellion. Our goal is to educate the public about what's happening in orbit and advocate for regulatory changes that will avoid Kessler Syndrome, which would destroy our ability to use satellites in Low Earth Orbit for decades to centuries.

Generative AI will allow so many people to be creative, like designing your product to be just like a character from someone else's film!

Great Scott there's a fourth Brent Bozell!?

Why does anybody take the right's allegations about paid activists seriously when anyone on the right who is not a billionaire is on a billionaire's payroll? The Brents being obvious cases in point, along with at least half of the Supreme Court.

#WordPress really didn't do anyone any favours by making EVERYTHING a post and stuffing everything into the Posts table.

I don't know how they talked themselves into the idea that Media uploads are 'posts' but this is really bad architecture.

(Coming from someone trying to do some fancy migrating of media.)
