I've just been blocked by someone for being labelled under using "Changed handle" as a label. Problem is, that this is going to become increasingly common as people start using domain names on here to verify, having previously held a bsky.social handle. Please check clearsky.app first.

With the KDE XOrg announcement I am really feeling like we are entering a universe of "Accessible machine and OS, Affordable hardware, Respect privacy, pick two" universe. I get why but until Talon works on Wayland it's the reality for me.

I have had the first fitting of a tailor-made corset pattern over the weekend! Even in the current state of fit it's so much better wearing dresses without feeling unsupported or bloated. Needs tweaking before the final design so at least one more pattern to do.
Since Trans Joy Tuesday got such a great response last week, let’s do it again.

For the trans people out there, let’s offset all the bad news and share something happy going on with you.

Whether it’s big or small, please share your joy!

I too appreciate a week about the impermanence of gender identity.

My most woke opinion is that too many of life's problems come from a similar common theme where folks in power are jealous of communities they can't influence and choose to deny those communities bodily autonomy instead of actually accepting difference and putting in the work allyship entails.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

First bit of interactivity! Spent the weekend refactoring most of the code from the last two weeks, significantly improving the responsiveness of the keypad hander and simplifying the drivers. Now it’s all integrated with the embedded-graphics crate for consistent color typing.

@dylanbeatt.ie I don't know if I cursed myself or what but I did not expect a tunnel fire to keep me from getting home tonight. Hope you both got back safely and can get to your talks this week safely.

Semantic versioning is so passé, today I am all about Bubonic Versioning, which is when different software versions spread like the plague for some inexplicable reason without any rhyme or reason, regardless of their CVEs. Going viral if you will.
complete the sentence:

distributed systems in theory: we run our code across several networked machines so that a failure of one doesn’t break the system as a whole

distributed systems in practice, apparently: hey it’s probably fine to put all our eggs in the us-east-1 basket right?

Ahhh, I see Robbie Williams is a fan of The Darkness. Good on him needing their debut album.

Unusual post-COVID symptom - the muscle used for my most recent injection site is sore again. Very weird.

@equalityhumanright.bsky.social are withholding their consultation report till after the Code is a “done deal”

But we sent copies of the public’s submissions direct to @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social & @niagriffith.bsky.social

Brain, you can have your fun once you've given/built up that workshop, ok? ;-;

I've never written any Go. But it does seem like that the fussiness and maintainability of the language stemming from the simpler syntax is as complicated as trying to teach someone how to think ahead about consequences of "the ko rule" in the namesake game.

Thanking (I think?) @psycheplays.com for the recommendation to listen to the album "Second Puberty" by Strange New Places. One of the most relatable queerpunk albums I've listened to in years. Finally got the time to listen properly and I don't regret it, even if it's a *huge* callout.
