あけましておめでとうございます！
🐀 A reminder why we are going through the drain.. thank you, #SteveCutts, as always. You don't let us down. 💙 💚 🧡
Don't be in the rat race, and don't be in disneyland either. #OpenYourMind instead. Think out of the box. You can do it, and so can I. 💪
@germnetwork.com I thought I'd try Bluesky pairing. I know it's a work in progress, but adding a very long, unclickable link into my bio is a hard no. I would have to get rid of most of what I've written for humans – for a machine to read. how about writing a custom record to my pds instead?

so much happened this year but remember when 404 Media found out the DOGE(.)gov website that was spun up to track Elon Musk’s cuts to the federal government could be edited by anyone?

And to close of the year, one of my first photos of 2025.

who has two thumbs and database backups running every 6 minutes instead of every 6 hours because Go CRON has a subtly different 6-field format instead of the traditional 5-field format?

Yummyバイト (レストランのサクラ)
This article from 
@pluralisticCory Doctorow was a really great read. I like this flavour of "elbows up" a lot - ending anticircumvention laws and maybe even loosening copyright laws. It would definitely be better than counter-tariffs. https://pluralistic.net/2025/12/16/k-shaped-recovery/
闇バイトなんて使い捨てにしかされないんじゃないかな… #しらんけど

lol at the difference between the headline and the story
I will never understand how it's more secure to:
- prompt me for my password to approve downloading an OS update/upgrade
- prompt me for my password to approve the installation of said update/upgrade
- prompt me for my password immediately after watching the progress bar for 20 minutes
- prompt me for my password again for the hell of it
- prompt me for my password to login (I'm fine with this one)
- prompt me for my password again for whatever else was related to the update/upgrade
FUUUU

I had to go back to grab this screenshot, because we have now zoomed past 100% But, to be honest, we needed to. I believe this will end up being our best fundraising year ever, but it is also our most expensive year ever. Please help us finish strong!
