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. Read this article from @cariad@tech.lgbt

🎶 Cause I’m just Ken
Anywhere else I’d be admin
Is it my destiny to live and die a life of prod fragility?
I’m just Ken
Where they see blips I see a trend
What will it take for them to see the bro behind the Go
And log for me?

Husband bought sweets for trick or treaters and of course we didn’t get any, so I’m sitting on the bed emotionally eating skittles. 1 skittle = 1 feeling
Thanks to @ohhelloana@mastodon.social advise I wrote a post again! It's about trivial stuff, but what matters to me is that I wrote one again: https://blog.bdw.li/posts/fs22-things-i-needed-to-lookup/
I started reading the newspapers early in life, mostly during mealtimes (a bad habit I picked up from my father). Eventually I started reading the business sections as well. One of things that always …

I had some amazing news over the weekend…
I’m super excited to have been selected as one of the new #CNCF Cloud Native Ambassadors! 🎉

Just had to tell a great company with a great role that I'm unable to complete their homework assignment due to my injuries. Jobs that require homework are unintentionally discriminating against a lot of people that have big challenges in their lives.

Didn't realize just how exhausted I was until today when I went out for lunch with a friend in order to "come up for air" for a bit, then when I got home decided I really needed to nap, and then promptly slept for three hours and it still isn't enough

Wasn't "infinidash" the joke AWS product that @joenash@hachyderm.io made up?
AWS have adopted it for some of their internal training 😛
Autistic me:
Loves books but does not have the mental stamina to sit and read a book from start to finish for hours on end. So instead consumes short-form content online for hours and hours.
Yeah because this makes sense...

Anyone who says they get more traffic to their site from Mastodon than Twitter is... misguided at best.
Mastodon appends "noreferrer" to every external link. Your browser literally doesn't tell the server where it clicked from.
Now, some writers might be putting different tracking on their Twitter and Mastdon links.
But, by design, Mastodon doesn't show up in servers referral logs.
Whether that's a good thing or not is left as an exercise for the reader.
Seriously, Write Your API Spec First

why did it have to be guy who played the friends character with an inappropriately sarcastic response to absolutely everything
I am slightly sad but also trying so hard not to type inappropriately sarcastic catchphrasey commentary
If you attended the panel at #LFMemberSummit about open source software viability and project selection (or even if you didn't), you might want to listen to the CHAOSScast episode on this topic from last week. https://podcast.chaoss.community/72
When people invite you to dinner/movie.. the chances are the activity is just an excuse to meet up and the real objective is to socialise. I find this endearing, for years I didn’t know this.
I used to automatically assume that the suggested activity was the *main* purpose of a meet-up. I thought an invitation to dinner meant that the predominant point of focus was the FOOD, or an invitation to watch a movie meant the MOVIE was the centrepiece of the night.

Too spoon depleted to be diplomatic and return to the comments on one of my LinkedIn posts about #HealthAndSafety. Will have to wait.
But two things strike me:
1) Requiring masks is doable at any scale of event. It's the most effective (cost & impact) way of mitigating spread of airborne disease. And if you have a Code of Conduct, you already have the tools for enforcement.
2) Stop putting the burden of inclusion on marginalized people 😠

Like many kids, I remember drawing out the letters of my name in interesting ways in the margin of my notebook or on random scrap paper. I always liked the symmetry of the W and M in “William”, and …
Just a few things I struggle with:
- Having to put on a vivacious, inauthentic display of happiness at a moment’s notice.
- Having to adjust to a new item coming into my possession.
- Finding somewhere to put it.
- Potentially having to change my plans/do something out of character to use the item.

a lot of furry kinks involve clothing being ripped in some way, a reflection of the common innermost fantasy of being able to afford another pair of jeans
