Attached: 1 video Before the holidays, we added a 'festive' output format to #Regal, which presents you with this glorious ASCII art animation when the linter has nothing to complain about. This is software relied on by banks, btw. It's OK to be silly — just make sure it's opt-in. Thanks to @charlieegan3 for working on that.

It's kind of funny to me how when I first discovered the furry fandom in the 90s it's because I believed myself to be an animal in a human body and most folks in the fandom were like "nah that isn't a thing" and since then I've come to accept that I'm human and fast forward 25 years and now there's a big and growing movement where it's like most furries seem to identify as nonhuman at a spiritual level and it's weird to be the outlier who *doesn't*

In 2009, I join Twitter. I make friends there. I can see their posts. Twitter has a Nazi problem. I pre-emptively join Mastodon. But I don’t really use it yet. Elon Musk buys Twitter. My friends start leaving. I no longer see their posts. I want to see my friends’ posts. - I find my friends again on Mastodon. Now I have two apps to keep track of. But I can see my friends’ posts again. My instance admins get in a fight. Friends’ instances defederate from mine. I can no longer follow them, nor they me. I am told about this by a friend who noticed. There is no indication given by the software. I am not notified of the connections I’ve lost. I want to see my friends’ posts. - A friend invites me to their instance. I accept, and migrate my profile across. I re-follow missing friends I can remember. And I can see my friends’ posts again. A friend posts photos on her instance. But those photos are not visible on mine. Her profile appears, to me, devoid of images. My new instance seemingly media-blocks hers. There is no indication given by the software. - I just want to see my friends’ posts. Am I wrong to want that? - https://moonbase.lgbt/blog/i-want-to-see-my-friends-posts/

@sphakos@toot.cat "It's almost like neuro-spicy folks like to hang out with each other..." Right?! 😂 Seems to happen on other dimensions of identity too! Like, genuinely shocking numbers of people I've formed strong ties with have ultimately been diagnosed as neurospicy, and/or with EDS, and/or come out as queer/trans. Love that we find each other even before we self-identify these ways. (...so yea I'm definitely thinking a lot more about autism rn...)

2023 was a decent year for me. With the kids now 1 and 3 I think I finally started to realize I’m a dad (!!) with all the responsibilities that come with that, and I started to adapt (way less travel, etc). Professionally, I’m really happy with what me and @charlieegan3 have accomplished during quite a turbulent year. And of course #Regal, the linter for #Rego that I started work on in January, and which now has a small community of users and contributors. Happy new year everyone! 🥂❤️
