Intro After attending Techmids I decided to revisit setting up my own blog, because at the end of the day its documentation. Doing it at work then thinking over how to improve is a daily part of our craft. This thought was due to a talk by [Jamie Tanna](https://www.jvt.me/] on his Open Source project Dependency Management Data. Which tangentially led me to his blog and the indieweb movement of taking back control of your content.

Intro Attended Tech Mids today met Julian and Colin. I watched the following conference talks Thinking about inclusion with Molly Quantifying your reliance on Open Source Software Rethinking Content Modelling for Unforgettable User Experiences Fantastic SDKs, and how to build them Essential Insights into API-first Tooling Junior Developer to CTO - battle-hardened principles to live by In an API is published and not one is told, does it have value?

personally if i were a holy prophet i would find it pretty weird to name your kids after me. millions of people calling my name but actually they're yelling at their toddlers. what the hell

This is just another reminder to me that when some people start banging the “free speech” drum, you’re only really free to say sentiments preapproved by the establishment. It’s also easily observed that the people who *say* facts don’t care about feelings consistently and ruthlessly prioritise their discomfort (read: feelings) and use that as feeble justification to reject the facts. Some of you wonder why people like myself couldn’t see you as anything other than a bad-faith actor you present yourselves to be.

So… let me get this straight: Paddy Cosgrave – co-founder & chief executive officer of Web Summit, the largest tech conference in Europe –*correctly* called Israel’s war crimes “war crimes,” originally condemned Hamas’ attack while *correctly* insisting this doesn’t give Israel carte blanche to “break international law,” and everyone from Intel to Siemens is pulling out of the event in response? Listen… you can’t tell me there isn’t a rather coercive and corrupt double standard here.

I know people are mad with Hamas and correct me if I'm wrong but haven't the Israeli government "topped" Hamas in carnage now? Like they were throwing phosphorus in the air on people!

How retro kick ass is that? Flash is resurrected sans the neglected, proprietary, security ridden, plugin bs of Adobe; thanks to Rust, and modern day sandboxed WebAssembly. No plugin required; small, compact, compatible engine, that unlocks decades of lost SWF content in all its vector visuals, MP3 stereo, and ActionScript-y glory. https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle #flash #adobe #webdev #javascript #rust #retrogaming

I'm Skaly, an awkward neurodivergent queer who makes a lot of projects and does their best to be as ambitious as possible and to work with the different abilities and disabilities and not against them. I make a living from art, and it's super fluid and challenging but I do what I love, music, handmade jewelry, poetry and film. I'm 23 and UK based but looking to move to the US next year.

Attached: 1 image I bought a cup of coffee from Zero Green on North Street, it came in an edible cup. Normally I carry a reusable cup, but I was happy that I'd forgotten to bring it. The woman behind the counter informed me that the edible cup starts to break down after 40 minutes, so it's best to drink up before then. What a fantastic way to reduce waste. Has anyone else tried this? #ZeroGreen #NorthStreetBristol #BS3 #Bedminster #EdibleCup #ZeroWaste #CoffeeCup

Urgh. Got woken up at 3:19am by a test of the earthquake alert system that was supposed to happen at 10:19am... but they accidentally scheduled it in UTC instead of California time zone!

Started playing Deathloop yesterday and it’s exactly what I wanted from a Dishonored followup! Dishonored 2 is one of the few games I’ve played multiple times through, fully explored/unlocked everything and learnt how to speed run. And Deathloop leans into all those aspects in such a brilliant way!

Reddit is killing its blockchain based Community Points program because “the resourcing needed was unfortunately too high to justify”. An intern probably pointed out you could build an equivalent user points feature more quickly, cheaply and securely by just using a SQL database. Like, you know, Reddit’s existing karma system. 🙃 https://techcrunch.com/2023/10/17/reddit-is-phasing-out-community-points-blockchain-rewards/

Mmm, I had the loveliest of birthdays! I made some new cute friends, hung-out with mates, saw a fav person of mine, etc. Oh, and I looked like the cutest gothic lolita birthday princess you could imagine! 😸😸 Also thank you to everyone here who supports me who wished me a lovely birthday or sent me a gift, you're the best!

I’m very busy with Other Things in the run up to BarCamp on the 11th, so preparing a brand new talk would be a very silly thing to do. However, my stupid insomnia brain just thought of the perfect session idea, so now I’ve got to throw some slides together. Goodbye all of my free time until #bclxii

love how every time I have to sign in to Google for whatever reason, I get a whole bunch of TFA flows that lead back to the same device I’m signing in on, followed by a deluge of notifications both on-device and via email about the “SECURITY ALERT!!!!” about me having signed in. really wish people would stop using google forms for every fucking thing

Thank you lovely @techmids people for being such a great and engaged audience! Talking to you about your code, your skills and your #DocsAsCode future was excellent. If you'd like a copy of the slides, they are available here: https://noti.st/lornajane/73ScF3/docs-as-code-for-coders

For all the push back I get in some corners, there are always organizers who are eager to learn to do better.
