🆕 blog! “Who reads my blog?” Hello! Thank you for reading what I write. Sorry to ask, but… who are you? I was chatting to a friend about what it is like running a blog, finding new topics, keeping up with a daily schedule, moderating comments, etc. And they asked, quite reasonably, "who are your readers?" And, honestly, I have very […] 👀 Read more: https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/09/who-reads-my-blog/ ⸻ #blogging #meta

Attached: 3 images This is my new favorite thing! Artist Ememem takes cracks in sidewalks, walls and other urban environments and fills them with colorful, mosaic tiles. The results are just joyous. Boy, I really love this. I could see myself doing stuff like this after I retire, maybe I can apprentice. 😂 #Art #Artwork #StreetArt Their website: https://ememem.art Their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ememem.flacking

Attached: 1 image Do you want to see the most mindbogglingly stupid timestamp format? This is how the Oculus Quest renders dates in its file browser. And, yes, I have tried setting it to ISO8601 an/or 24 hour time. No luck. What kind of divot picks a single letter to represent a month? #meta #Oculus #VR

Batman has the potential of being a hero by one very significant element (imo) that he isnt a billionaire in a sense that he made himself one from the ground up (as in he proactively, consciously got up the class ladder by exploiting people), but rather is a son to a billionaire family and has experienced first-hand trauma of a corrupt capitalist system that could be analyzed as his family being responsible for producing. I do believe that we can have an anti-fascist bruce wayne, there have been some deconstructive stories about him learning of his family's responsibility in the creation of the corrupt society that he was born into, and there is a hint of restorative justice in batman' stories. But even then, this is me giving a HUUUUUGE benefit of the doubt to batman as an archetype and i would be inclined to agree that my interpretation of batman would need extreme deconstruction of the character from the ground up to make him redeemable.

Though it's tempting to get out the world's tiniest violin when Sam Bankman-Fried complains about his peanut butter sandwiches, it should make you wonder: if even he can't have his basic needs met in jail, what about the less privileged? https://newsletter.mollywhite.net/p/sam-bankman-frieds-jail-conditions #SBF #FTX #crypto #cryptocurrency #PrisonersRights

Beginning to think about how to approach #FOSDEM next year, as it's officially become an opportunity I can't miss. But I both value my health and can't take unnecessary risks with COVID, and I authored and signed the @phpledge@floss.social. I foresee lots of time spent bundled up outdoors, or maybe a fringe event. Maybe I can work with a subset of DevRoom organizers to put common sense precautions in place, such people like me can actually participate. Hmmm... 🤔

https://sauropods.win/@futurebird/111035301809333340 I don't think people realize just how much 'marketing gender' shapes our commercial world. This is the stuff of Gender: "Men" "Women" "Kids" This is why when you get the gender bit set as you browse the web without an ad blocker, ALL your ads change. Want to avoid cryptocurrency ads? Look up wedding stuff before visiting anything related to software development. Not to say you won't get even more horrifying things, but you will be coded as 'women'. Oh wait, I'm hearing _men get married too?_ that can't be right. Only women look at wedding things.

Attached: 1 image Parents should always take "awkward photos" of their kids, and show them off regularly. Though I'm sure I thought of this one as embarrassing at some point, I now love it — it's little me telling me I've got this in what looks like peak 90's clothing & pose, with a superlative confident grin 😄

DHH essentially saying code-of-conducts on projects he maintains don’t apply to him is deeply troubling. Yes, it’s “only” on how he rudely pushed through a controversial change this time but it exposes a “rules don’t apply to me” mentality that goes way beyond that. And a lot of younger men in the community look up to him and try to emulate him.

I wrote another newsletter entry at https://buttondown.email/jackyalcine/archive/ive-been-laid-off/. Taking this weekend to focus on important things but also to do something I do enjoy doing; and that's tinkering with side projects and/or reading some comics. Tonight, I'll be reading Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Search inbetween builds and when I want to take a little thinking break. I'll be working on making #Koype a bit more ready for me to talk about more concretely but from way down the pipe. Right now, I'm focusing on fixing up RPC logic. And yes, there's RPC in my blog setup because it's definitely a lot more than a blog (again, why I need to write more about this, lol). The process of me doing this today: is a bit manual (I write locally, tether over my phone to my laptop, make this post, write it in manual HTML in quill.p3k.io and make sure to syndicate it from my site (though that's just a button in Quill itself to enable). My hope is to write this from some native client on my desktop, pick up my phone - edit it and then open my website and see the final change there. That's because I want to get to a point where I don't have to be online to "blog" or just record my life to the extent that I want to. But again, relaxing. Part of relaxing is allowing myself to dream (lol) and… https://jacky.wtf/2023/9/GGtY
