Doc: "Can you rate the pain 0 to 10?"
Me: "well let me state for the record that I've witnessed a woman give birth so if that's a 10 I'm unlikely to rate any pain I'm experiencing, no matter how intense, higher than around an 8."

If you are (rightfully) concerned about where things are going, this is exactly why you should read up on atproto.com.
Also why you should support people and projects like zeppelin.social, deer.social, @rudyfraser.com, @transrights.northsky.social, @aendra.comændra.,

And this gets me thinking about a thing I have often heard from C programmers pushing back on the use of tools or language features that would improve the quality of their software, along the lines of “competent programmers don’t need these things, they should just get good”.
I am well past the point in my life where I engage with that sort of noise in any good faith, because if your answer to any perceived failing in a person is “just try harder”, you are either woefully inexperienced or a just a dick.

NEW: Gazans Make Diesel From Plastic Amid Genocide
With the US-backed genocide of Palestinians in Gaza continuing unabated and the border crossings closed by Israel, the ingenuity and resolve of Gazans continues to shine amid the ethnic cleansing being waged on them. As no diesel or gasoline is allowed into the Gaza Strip, citizens have come up the successful idea of converting plastic into diesel and gasoline to be used for means of transportation.

Some back-of-the-napkin math for those worried that we might still exhaust #IPv6 if we're not careful:
We are currently numbering out of 2000:/3, but effectively it's been 2000::/4 so far. The smallest amount of space that can be announced in BGP is a /48.
4 bits off the top and 16 bits off the bottom leaves us with 2^28 individual /48 networks we _could_ issue (obviously we're issuing larger chunks where possible, eg: /32 for many ISPs). This is representable without having to go to engineering notation: 268,435,456.
Last night's bgp.tools dump shows 117,731 active ASNs. We could issue every org with an ASN a starter /48 and still have several orders of magnitude worth of room for growth. And that's even before we get to 3000::/4.
So, don't worry about filling up the pool. Grab what you need (and maybe a bit more) and build the network you've been dreaming of.
hmmm
so if I were to sell my current phone and change it for an used one that has more rom support, should I focus on...

A little nervous to do this but I don’t see too much #bevy content so I thought I would shoot my shot.
I’ve been working on a factory game written in #rust with #bevy and I recently hit a big milestone (aka now on steam)
If anyone’s interested in #indiedev dev logs I have a rss/atom feed. This weeks is mostly about art, but I normally talk about ECS woes and the pain of programmatic terrain generation. This is my first “large scale” game so it’s a mixed bag.
So today I am learning the Z80 instruction set and I think, I don't hate it

무릎 재활 달리기… 안하다 하니 힘들다…
眠れない ｱｰｲｸｲｸ
Vor ca. 20 Jahren habe ich die #HBlock das erste mal am #Forestglade in Wiesen gehört. Mit Betonung auf "gehört", denn ich hatte einen Sonnenstich und habe im schattigen Wald nebenan versucht mein Hirn abzukühlen.
Heute endlich den Blick auf die Bühne nachgeholt.
When I was 18 years old, my brother asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I said I wanted a .com domain. I didn’t have a credit card, so he bought it for me.
I’ve been writing there for 22 years. Long chunks of time in the ‘10s where I barely wrote at all, but I always maintained an archive of some sort. I was able to move it through different systems, because I owned the files.
One day I will write about how being one of the first visibly queer bloggers in my region at the time was an incredible and also incredibly weird time.
I was writing about being queer as a teenager in a time when no one else around me was talking about it. People thought I was brave. I was just autistic. I had no idea I wasn’t supposed to be out.
Being one of the first bloggers there, and one of the first queer ones, got me a lot of things: I got published in things, people wrote about me, I got speaking opportunities.
But I also got.. parasocial relationships. A lot of it.

It makes me a bit sad to know that all of my current electronic gadgets for eg biking are fundamentally doomed, because they're little computers with flash storage and LiIon batteries, both of which wear out. I will not be using my current GPS unit in ten or twenty years, no matter how much I like it. Hopefully I will still be using the bike it's currently attached to.
(My commuting GPS unit has actually lasted almost ten years so far and it isn't dead yet, but. It probably won't make twenty.)
아 맞다 오겜2~3기에 트랜스젠더 여성 캐릭터가 나오는데 사람들이 되게 호감캐로 꼽는 캐거든. 조용하고 착하고 군필은 당연 특전사 출신에, 항상 1인분 정도가 아니라 2~3인분 정도를 하는거 같은 유능한 인력임. 근데 이 캐릭터가 이렇게 잘 받아들여지는걸 보니 역으로, 한국 사람들은 무임승차 개 싫어하는구나, 그래서 소수자 공격하려면 무임승차론을 먼저 뿌리는구나 라는 생각이 듦. 여자로서의 고생은 하나도 안하고 여자에게 배치된 소수자 혜택만 누리고 싶어한다는 트랜스여성에 대한 혐오 프레임도 일종의 무임승차론.

What I'm listening to today: "Tiny Setup, HUGE Sound: Jungle with the PO-33 KO! + Monotron Delay", Pocket Trax
The Pocket Operator and Monotron Delay remain the bang-for-buck champions of the desktop synth world, "toy" devices that at one time retailed for $60-80 in the Guitar Center checkout line (…before inflation…) and pair beautifully.
This shockingly hard track shows just how far you can push these little PCBs. Lightspeed 12-bit drum & bass
What I'm listening to today: "4 dollar casio sa5 processed through EQD avalanche run, afterneath and transmisser reverb", Anne Sulikowski
Gorgeous, slow ambient music composed live on [see above]. Time-lapse video of clouds over cliffs, a cat sleeping for nine hours, chunky kalimba echoing over brainfog. Three blocks away there is a cement mixer running, just at the edge of your hearing, far enough the acoustics of the street turn the grinding into soothing white noise
You could never release Blazing Saddles today because most of the actors are dead
