A rant on why I think we need realistic Solarpunk, plus some other things 1/2 ☀️
Felt compelled to make this. It will finally stop floating around in my head 🎉

Thanks to Kobzol for making this, which I've been meaning to do for a few years and keep forgetting to actually do: look at the evolution of the #Rust compiler errors over time
https://kobzol.github.io/rust/rustc/2025/05/16/evolution-of-rustc-errors.html
I also agree 100% with the take aways.
I'm looking forward to seeing how these get even better.

#ThisWeekInGNOME #200 is here — and I'm thrilled to unveil TWIG 2.0!
Check out the latest news and experience the new revamped TWIG:
"I've never had to use dynamic programming outside of a programming interview. But apparently, this was the moment we all were waiting for."
That was an excellent talk by 
@pgansslePaul Ganssle with some good takeaways:
* You can use whatever tech stack you want
* Projects are a great way to learn
* You can use programming to answer questions for yourself
* Your projects don't have to pay
* It's OK to make something just for you
* It's also great to tell other people about your work
The slides include links and references to all of the projects:

I mapped that to a hexagon on the map "6kgrvlcuqdaq" that matches where it is physically located. Seems like a good way to organize web archives that match physical locations in my city.

#curl build updates: curl-for-win Windows builds are now signed with cosign. Download page now includes links to these and to GPG signatures. The latest build uses zlib-ng instead of classic zlib as an experiment. https://curl.se/windows
Daily builds (also for Linux and macOS) are also signed now with GPG and cosign: https://github.com/curl/curl-for-win/actions/workflows/daily.yml
To know me is to know that I'm the one who deliberately parked the car *into* this spot before leaving again a little later with it in the same configuration.
Made some "art trading cards" for an upcoming end-of-term art club party at my local community college (where I've been taking painting classes).
Looking forward to seeing what other folks will have to trade - I'm pretty much the only person making such aggressively abstract work. 😅
Good visitor, allow me to introduce myself.
I'm Wolf. I'm a former US Navy Submariner who turned tech drone. I did it all from the support desk to CIO of a medium-sized company. Now retired and enjoying it with my husband of many years.
We live in the Upper Midwest of the USA, but travel worldwide very frequently.
Minimalist, non-judgmental for the most part. And now on my own instance! 😀

This is the way.
A high school freshman track athlete took second place behind a trans athlete, and a Republican leader used the situation to push hateful propaganda. The girl responds:
"I don't feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points... No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby."

i really hate how there’s this idea that posts can’t be edited just because the bluesky client doesn’t expose this functionality to users. you’re always able to edit pds records.

This is an excellent podcast about privacy, data and social media. I hope there’s a season 3 coming soon!

先前，為了擺攤買它，
現在則大多在我桌上，
夜間睡不著在沉思的時候，
它的人工火光其實蠻療癒的，
雖然只是壓克力，
但看它的折射感，
大約能想像為何人們對水晶燈著迷。
Just got called a 'good girl' in the most affirming, loving, horny way and I'll be over here in a puddle if anyone wants me.

在某群組收到XBB病毒株謠言，查了之後努力得體回覆，然後突然覺得活在看見什麼都得先查證的時代很累。
看見美好的、可愛的、神奇的，
要先查是不是AI製造；
看見荒誕的、該警惕的，
得確認是不是造謠。
越容易激起情緒反應的越可能不全是事實，
反倒一看就像造假的，卻真實發生了。
對我就是在說那行字，
昨天還覺得爛透了，
今天卻不由得開出那張照片來娛樂自己。
