@dansup ooh - coming to the UK? We need to get a beer if so.

@dansup sadly I think they only ship in the EU! But next time you come to Europe... :D

Some new #HTTPShirts available: 102, 303, 406, 409, 507, 508, plus bonus spline reticulation and burning printers: https://sellshirts.com/marketplace/httpshirts

@dansup battery storage was one of the first things I printed too :)

@waldoj also does anyone know what the stars mean? If they say they do, they're lying.

@dansup I'll validate your schema right into the sea, motherf'er

@dansup friends don't let friends validate JSON schemas

Very disappointed to see that @Thangs3D have got rid of their cross-site model search capability.

One more reason we need independent federated tools like @manyfold I guess.

I want to give some huge appreciation to everyone who helps pay for this instance!

We have a 6 month runway of money in OpenCollective, although our disk space needs (and thus the bill) keep creeping up, so every single donation, no matter how small, is hugely appreciated!

If you appreciate the community we've built here, please consider throwing a little money our way each month. Every pound helps keep this place secure!

@evan controversial take!

The new EHRC guidance on trans people's access to services and facilities is so fucking stupid.

I'm so disappointed in this country (yet again), and I'm so angry for everyone whose life is made even more difficult because of this through no fault of their own.

And all because arseholes always need someone less powerful than them to blame for their own problems.

@dansup that’s pretty damn fast.. I can’t keep up that kind of speed these days! Oh, to be significantly younger…

I *hate hate hate hate hate* AI-generated bug reports. No human I've ever met writes anything that long, with sections and bullet points.

It's a lot quicker and easier to understand a problem reported as "when I do X, Y happens instead of Z" instead of a wall of text that finishes off with a "suggested areas of investigation" heading and list.

It honestly makes me want to leave the bug in place.

@evan consider me intrigued

Very cool indeed to see @manyfold’s FASP support get referenced in @tchambers and @deadsuperhero‘s review of ecosystem progress on the 7 Fediverse UX sins. Proud to have been a tiny part of the improvement 😁

Are there any reliable community-run docker package registries out there? I'm trying to extricate myself from GitHub (i.e. GHCR) but just swapping to DockerHub seems like a step backwards.

@dansup I want to know more about how you're doing this! We should do a video call sometime maybe!

YES Hungary! Now, Orbán, off you fuck.

@benpate @ozoned I’m weirdly looking forward to it all falling flat on its face in public. I think I might be strange.
