i just added a page to my personal website that catalogs all the books, music, and games that are deeply important to me in some way.
i'm calling it The Loved List, shamelessly stealing the term from Anthony Fantano's website.
https://ankursethi.in/the-loved-list/
maybe one day i'll turn this into a nice gallery of sorts, with cover art and links and metadata and all sorts of bells and whistles. for now, a plain list is all i have the time to do.

Hey, good job patching all your browsers for the latest WebP vulnerabilities (there's a new one today, btw).
Know what probably didn't get updated?
Yeah, all those Electron apps.
Tell the person you love that you love them. This reminds them that the world can be a beautiful place.
Tell them by popping out from the corner you weren't in just a moment ago, giving them a mild heart attack and reminding them that the world is surprising and dangerous.
Also, sorry @IamMrsGeek
"Your trauma made you stronger."
No, my trauma made me traumatized, it made me weak, gave me sleepless nights, and memory loss. It gave me feelings I've never wanted. I made myself stronger, by dragging myself out of a dark place, and dealing with consequences that weren't my fault.

Why did @dletorey@mastodon.social give everyone floppy disks as lanyards this year at #SotB2023? “If your homepage doesn’t fit on one of these, you’re an idiot and you’re doing it wrong!”
Did #slack get rid of the ability to customise theme by Hex Code? Weirdly I can click "share" and get a copy of the hexcodes, but there's nowhere to set new ones that I can see?
Every day Slack works further away from the independent non-corporate vibe we all used to appreciate.
Hark! A person with #ADHD has decided that this will definitely be the time they will become focused and organised. The other 56 attempts were just a practice run and don't count.

I spent most of the day working on Meetable, my event listing website that powers https://events.indieweb.org and a few other sites. Some great new features and bugfixes!
• Added passkeys for admin …
There was a time in my life when I was working on open source, like, every weeknight and weekend. I was contributing to tools I used as well as my own OSS projects. Just firing on all cylinders.
After a few years I got super burned out (https://nolanlawson.com/2017/03/05/what-it-feels-like-to-be-an-open-source-maintainer/). These days I kind of feel like my weekends and evenings are sacred. I file bugs on browsers and OSS projects constantly, but I usually do it as part of my 9-to-5.
Contributing to the commons is a noble cause, but man is it tiring.
More #strangeloop thoughts. I have a hard time gauging when sensory nuisances impact my stress level, so went with wearing ear protection as much as possible.
I intentionally wore the big yellow gun range protectors not just to make it easier to find me, but to more openly show that wearing ear protection is a thing. Had I known it earlier, many conferences would have been much easier to attend.

BREAKING NEWS: A generation that knows nothing about #RSS and #Atom has finally grown up.
During the podcast recording today, a user in a live chat reached out to me saying that the #feed button on my personal site is broken 'cause it returns an #XML.

Happy bi visibility day! Yes, I am married to a beautiful man who I love. But I'm #StillBi. Not gay.
Same as we shouldn't assume a person's gender by how they look, we shouldn't assume a person's orientation by who their partner is.
