always such a shame when a great album isn’t available on CD and is only vinyl (although digital only is the worst)

like yeah sure i *could* buy vinyl, but I haven’t got anywhere to display them

“It was natural and simple, like opening a window … and knowing it’s a girl’s skin the sun’s shining on and a girl’s hair the wind’s blowing about.”
(Dorley 31 ‘Skin and Bones’)

Okay so this happened to me today, I was sat outside work having lunch in the sun, in a dress, feeling good

How do we fix open source funding?

Most open source contributors earn little or nothing for sustained, valuable work.

Open source funding, a bimodal distribution

just spent an hour tracing a stack overflow in parakeet, right back to some code I wrote 11 months ago that I knew I'd need to fix at some point to make sure it wouldn't do that... and then forgot about.

huh, Martin in Dorley chapter “Home Away From Home” sorta sums up the general appeal of forcefem, and Dorley more specifically, to trans readers - just having to _go along_ with the process of transition happening rather than being _actively in control_ of it

Hadn’t noticed that last time.

why did bluesky not use the new atproto docs site as a chance to put an end to AppView in favour of AppServer (or other alternative)?

I've spent my evening making a curated version of my main music library. Y'know, curated, the best of the best, a shorter list.

I’ve been running with kwallet on, but the kde setting to store WiFi passwords system-wide instead of per-user in wallet, and this seems to have fixed both the login/wake/unlock issue, and WiFi not connecting on boot

Mia @mia.omg.lol

turning kwallet off should’ve done it but failing that I’ll switch to greetd from sddm.

Unsure if it fixes one of the other weird sleep/hibernate issues but I think (hope) the freeze on wake is gone?

atproto desperately needs a way to deactivate on a per-service (per lexicon namespace?) level. wanting to tune out of one service shouldn't mean removing your entire atproto identity.

we'd be doing a lot better if folks would stop assuming malice every single time something goes wrong, especially about things that are highly nuanced and extremely difficult to manage. things going correctly ~99% of the time and having ~1% of things go wrong doesn't immediately invalidate the 99%.

for extremely normal and extremely professional reasons, I am considering inserting gifs into a word document.
I have been assured this is possible and I do not know how to feel, but it *is* useful in this circumstance
