Hey @danirabbitDanielle Foré, originally I wanted to make this a private message but I think it might be good for it to be public actually. Because often the negative is said out loud but the positive is said quietly and I wanted to flip that.

I hope this won't come off as creepy or unnerving. This bunny is not really good with social rules and cues. I just wanted to congratulate you personally on the launch of elementary OS 8.1. I'm excited to try it.

This bunny also wanted to say that you're kind of a hero of hers. I admire you a lot for the work you're doing in the open source community. You've pushed for so much things that were so forward thinking and ahead of their time.

There are things about elementary that have frustrated me, like the lack of fractional scaling, for a while, but I also recognize that it is a small team and that it takes great care in its work. It tries to be safe and doesn't try to rush things and break things because it knows that by doing so, it will leave people behind. No matter how much it frustrates me, I wanted to tell you that I admired the hell out of that. Because choosing to not let anyone behind is the hard choice here.

I wanted to say that when you take the time to write blog posts about pride, when you make a release that has the trans or disability flag within the logo, it genuinely moves me. Because of that, bunny feels seen and embraced by this project in a way that no other projects gives her. It means a lot.

And we are sister through transness, you and I. You are a prominent trans woman in the Linux community and I really admire you for that. I know, and I've seen, the harassment, and all of the shit you've had to deal with just for being openly who you are in this space. Being deadnamed, being misgendered by awful people. The Linux and open source community is a shithole. It's a dumpster fire. And... I kind of hate it here.

But while I wish you never had to deal with any of that, but I want to say how much I admire you for still being there. I want you to know that I wasn't all for nothing. That through standing tall against all of this injustice you've been put through, you, and plenty of other trans women in this space have cultivated a bright spot in this community, and it's one that I'm genuinely thankful to be able to find shelter in. And I'm really thankful for that.

Thank you for being you and what you do. You are seen. And I hope more people will express that to you.

This post is also for all of the trans and non binary people who are putting up with all of the shit that they have to put up in this community and all of the people who are working on elementary.

From the bottom of this bunny's heart, she thanks you.

ホスト部とパス部をバックスラッシュでつないだURLを閲覧するように促す広告が聞こえてきてInternet Explorerとかならよしなにスラッシュに変換してくれるのかしらって手元のAndroidのChromeで試したらよしなにスラッシュに変換してびっくりしたよ。何かの脆弱性にならないかしら…

Question for anyone working on a software development team: do you use a bug tracking system?

This can be either a dedicated bug tracking tool or a dedicated issue type with specific fields in your work management tool.

And if none of the four match what you do, please tell me more. :-)

Boosts for reach are appreciated!

When an entire class of technology states on the packaging that it was made in China but intended "for overseas use only," this should really give you pause before plugging it into your network.

You will find this verbiage on a lot of Android TV streaming boxes for sale at the major retailers. There's a very good reason the country that makes this crap doesn't want it on their own networks. My advice: If you have one of these Android streaming boxes on your network or get one as a gift, toss it in the trash. I'll have a lot more about this in the New Year, but these things are responsible for building out a botnet that currently has ~2M devices and is growing rapidly. blog.xlab.qianxin.com/kimwolf-

Minnesota has long been a safe haven for transgender youth, but new moves by the Trump administration to ban gender-affirming care put that status in jeopardy.

One of the proposed rules would withhold all Medicaid and Medicare funding from hospitals that provide any gender-affirming care to anyone under the age of 18, even if that care is paid for by private insurance or by families out of pocket.

It’s absolutely true that AI is reducing jobs, but not like you think. AI is not *doing* those jobs instead of people, AI speculation is redirecting *investment* away from job-creating businesses to capital-intensive businesses.

Debug this idea for me: A permissioned Mastodon server for kids and parents in a community.

Goals:
- Share plans for activities without parents having to text each other all the time
- Be silly
- Learn healthy social media norms under supervision

Policies:
- All messages (including direct) are auditable by parent admins
- Collaboratively authored code of conduct

iOS에서 내가 쓸 단모음 키보드 앱을 만들고 있다.

기존에 쓰던 앱들이 있긴 했는데, 하나는 어느샌가 키보드 자판 위에 툴바를 붙이더니 월 구독 결제를 안하면 숨길 수 없게 해놨고 다른 하나는 최근 iOS 업데이트 이후로 텍스트를 지울때 단어가 망가지는 문제가 생겨서 대체제를 찾다가 마음에 드는게 없어서 결국 직접 만들기로 결정함..

직접 만들어서 테스트하다보니 유저 입장에서 어떤 부분이 불편한지 - 해소해야할지 보인다. 재미는 있는데 생각보다 신경써야 할 게 많다.

Interesting (but entirely anecdotal) note since I started responding with human trafficking assistance resources to every incoming sha zhu pan ("pig butchering") text message -- they have stopped completely. I believe I got added to some exclusion list the criminals pass around. So I can endorse this strategy on several levels now.

anyway, the way i would write this is a sequence of steps - take your existing lexicon *.json files - add $type: "com.atproto.lexicon.schema" to them - publish them under some did - here's how to tie that did to your domain
