I can’t find my purple dildo and I need it for my pottery work My life is weird

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/

As more and more of my friends with ADHD get diagnosed with autism, I can't help but wonder if one of these my number is going to come up too :thinkingcat: #ADHD #Autism #AuDHD

@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...)

Kids today live in a world where horribly pixelated graphics were just a cute stylistic choice and David Lynch had a coherent plan for Twin Peaks all along.

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! 🥂❤️

With 2023 quickly ending, I wanted to share five life lessons I learnt over the last 12 months. This is the eighth year I have written a “lessons learnt” post. If you want to return in ti…

@jwz@mastodon.social @foxhkron@cybre.club while the conclusions are correct, I do ponder whether we should be driving traffic to Bryan Lunduke, who is basically an alt-right tech personality.

@ariadne@treehouse.systems @jwz@mastodon.social @foxhkron@cybre.club also, If Lunduke writes something, it's probably a carefully curated set of facts garnished with bias

In the 14+ years we’ve been making The Changelog podcast, it has never gone viral. I’m not here to complain about that! We’ve had tons of success with our shows and I’m super grateful that we get to make awesome developer pods for a living. I do think the fact is interesting, though, and worth exploring. Hopefully this...

I work at a standing desk, which has done great things for my back and neck. But it leads me to say things like "I can't write any more today because my legs are tired," which is a funny sentence.

This is in no way a brag, but in reference to my earlier thread on take Covid seriously: I just paid 200 quid to move my trip to Berlin (that’s supposed to start tomorrow) back five days in the hope that Esther will not be testing negative after her Covid then rebound Covid. And if she is still, then I am unable to get a refund. We haven’t seen each other since October, we’ve both spent the holidays alone, and live alone. My mental health is affected and surely hers is too. But going there whilst she’s sick just gets me sick and then people on the plane sick. This is not a post about how good I am, this a post to say hey yeah I get it it’s fucking frustrating that this debilitating virus is still fucking our lives up four years later. But by taking care, I can stop myself and others from getting sick. Obviously I can afford it, but I’m afraid that even if you can’t afford to reschedule, going would cost you in other ways.

wanna teach people the difference between "open source contributions" and "unpaid internships for tech monopolies and or vc backed startups" assuming i can find one

@cwebber@octodon.social This line of thinking is why I still prefer #IndieWeb as the future of distributed social networking, and why I keep hoping IndieAuth + Ticket Auth (or something similar) goes somewhere to improve how we handle private/friends-only/limited-audience posts (which is the one thing really missing from the Atom/RSS ecosystem right now).
