I do sincerely enjoy that this account is an unapologetically chaotic mix of serious (and non serious) programming, trans literature, and general other transposting.

Anyways, I’m probably not going to be around much today (certainly no programming!), so if you celebrate, have a good Christmas Day.

it is officially Christmas and here I am getting called out by goddamn Dorley 24 (again)
I see myself in 2008 Stef and the way he acts around people and comes out of his shell when he’s around the right people and I’m glad we know how it goes for him.

okay i'm running with an export of my ssh key for now but if anyone knows how to get ragenix to see age-plugin-fido2-hmac please tell me
ragenix is aptly named for how I feel after spending an afternoon trying to get it to find plugins

learning by doing is nice and all, but sometimes you spend a few hours confused because a chunk of your nix flake isn't connected to anything and therefore isn't doing anything

starting my Christmas break off right tomorrow by touching grass before spending two weeks on the computer

wondering how much of the site I’ll break if I mute “ai” and “ml” because ESH and reading takes from either side takes up time I could be using for other things.

this is, among other reasons, why i think names & emails as immutable identifiers are bad.
git's model basically forces deadnames in perpetuity. im hoping our next generation of vcses actually tackle this problem instead of punting on it and screwing trans folks over.

Extremely disappointed in the Rust community on this one. Changing your name online should be a very understandable thing to want to do in a trans and neurodivergent inclusive community. For example, having a publicly visible link between your name and deadname can cause real harm. 1/7

WHEN YOU FELL FROM HEAVEN is my trans/cis lesbian cheerleader series!
In HOW TO FLY, we meet Max and Taylor, and we discover just how much a suitably determined cheer captain can change someone’s life.

people at work really have proved over the last week that most cis people either literally do not care (in a good way) or are actively supportive of trans people.
some people switched to calling me Mia so fast it caught me off guard

tomorrow - wish me luck (thankfully I am not doing this myself, the boss is doing it and I have approved their wording)
Strongly considering coinciding an early lunchtime walk with the meeting it’s happening in bc even though I know it’ll be fine, idk if I want to be there.

putting off frontend by deciding to do some work on lexicon generation first because then I can have types!
generating lexicon* from the rust types using jacquard, naturally - got most of the way there but there’s a few rough edges atm imo
*the plural of lexicon is lexicon or lexica. don’t @ me

again; the doctor was *NOT* on trial
she was called as a witness to give testimony about Sandie Peggy's objectively horrible behaviour, some of which was targeted at said Doctor.
The courts should face consequence for the danger they have put the rest of her life in. Again; *as a victim*.

the judge who refused the doctor being harassed by a bigot at Fife the right to anonymity throughout these proceedings and ultimately led to her name and photos being published by the press and all of the harassment that has happened since

results: sqlite is significantly faster! I can index ~5 operations per second now with FTS, which is an acceptable speed. even the analysis is fast and runs over a few thousand records in 300ms.
sqlite stays winning, as ever, even if the DB is 26GB.

Need to finish moving the tables in to see what effect this will have on analysis, I guess it shouldn’t be too bad with some well placed indices but even worst case I can do a job system for the analysis and I want to cache anyways.

We are hearing that those few who were on NHS GIDS prescribed puberty blockers before GIDS closed, who were transferred to a small legacy clinic at Nottingham, are now being told all referrals for MDT panel approval to start hormones have been stopped. 1/2

I should really stop taking on projects. I’ve got like three programming things, four leaflet drafts, an infrastructure migration to do / prep for, and the beginnings of another programming thing that I want to turn into a talk eventually.
