Holy heck, a functioning laptop and access to all the resources I need to work, and we aren't even done with the first week. I don't think this employer realizes how much better they are than the average.

Last time I brought this up on a UK-based technical mailing list, an entrepreneur—themself from a historically persecuted ethnic group—told me that, "no one cares". Well, I can't make anyone care but if you are in the position to advise on or choose a domain name you should maybe at least know some of the history behind .IO before buying one.

The .io top-level domain funds and legitimises Britain's exile of the Chagossian people from their homeland. Here's the history and the facts.

It’s only a little saddening that my most popular post on Mastodon is a screenshot of someone else’s shitpost from Twitter 🫠

Hope you're having a spooky/happy Halloween! 🎃👻
