I had a chat with @proactivepaul@mastodon.social about Barcamp. Turns out it’s not hosted in a bar, nor is it a camping trip. It’s a gathering of people geeking out over whatever they want to talk about. I’m looking forward to learning a lot of random facts next month! #bclxii

Another day, another HN comment thread that's mostly full of people complaining about someone's use of furry art in a technical post. This time, however, it's not me, Xe, or Cendyne that they're bitching about! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37887426

The whole bad space thing and blocking tech.lgbt from other instances is absolutely insane. Some of the instances involved haven't blocked mastodon.social (which is full of basically anything and tons of random abuse because it's so big), but are blocking tech.lgbt. As usual, queer people are hyper-scrutinised, and all it takes is one terminally online with an unhealthy obsession to find a way to frame an entire community as fundamentally evil based on some questionable disagreements. Don't use block lists. You really don't want your blocking decisions to be based on people who add things to a list on a whim with no accountability and oversight. But even outside of block lists... god when are progressive communities going to get over this obsession with performative punishment and branding people as bad? I've never seen this instance allow bad people to stay, moderators always take care of things, and they're usually pretty responsive. It's beyond absurd to block tech.lgbt

I've been sent some bone-conducting Bluetooth headphone which - so the manufacturer says - are waterproof. I don't have a swimming pool at home (😢 ) so I'm going to try them out in the shower. There won't be any videos - but if this thing electrocutes my head please know that I died doing what I love; dicking around with weird gadgets from China.

The second annual Petaluma Pride Festival was a wild success, and waaay bigger than anticipated. Now it's time to rest, recover, ... and do the bookkeeping.
Really dislike that in Android 14 I now can't disable Nearby Share and so it permanently takes up a space in the sharing intent 😡

I spend an unreasonable amount of time making sure my blog renders well even if CSS isn't loaded. Whether it's a dodgy Internet connection, a text-only browser, or something else - it's nice knowing that my blog is in a logical order and perfectly usable without decorations. So fire up Lynx or w3m and take a look at your site. What do you need to change?

Just found the Google Sound Amplifier app for people who need ambient noises amplified. Really useful! Needs headphones in but definitely boosts. Except it only uses the phone microphone. You can't attach a different microphone and set it to use that. Alternatives?

Gerhard joins us for the 12th Kaizen and this time talk about what we DIDN’T do. We were holding S3 wrong, we put some cash back in our pockets, we enabled HTTP/3, Brotli compression, and Fastly websockets, we improved our SLOs, we improved Changelog Nightly, and we’re going to KubeCon 2023 in Chicago.

@atpfm@mastodon.social good episode. On the topic of “life streams,” there are some people like me in the #IndieWeb community that use our websites for this purpose. I record every podcast I listen to on @overcastfm@mastodon.social automatically. Every show and movie through Trakt. Every significant place I go with Swarm. My location in realtime using Overland (https://overland.p3k.app), and more. My stream: https://cleverdevil.io/content/all A monthly summary of activity: https://cleverdevil.io/summary/2022/11
Ooh yeah this looks like it may be more what I want, thanks! That transcript should be a great start 😁

My hope is to get more eyes on the concepts of Thinnest Viable (in addition to Minimum Viable) Platforms and Floating Platforms. Let me know what you think!
