My dedication to our community remains steadfast. I've travelled this country with the hopes of networking and growing the fediverse and our community.

However I've begged for help in exactly this area for as long as Elon has owned Xitter. I've begged our community for folks to step up to create a society.

Yet no one has stepped up. We've all had to figure this technical shit out on our own, in our own silos, and it seems no one wants to share their knowledge.

My sleepless nights of dealing with databases, and endless hours of googling is really starting to wear on me.

24 hours ago I asked for some help and it went to deaf ears. I'm doing everything I can but I'm really starting to burn the candle on both ends.

This is the problem with where we're at with the fediverse. We have people bending over backwards and there's no rescue boat in sight when they need help.

If we truly want to build community, we do it together.

At what point is my cup empty? There's 36,000 people here.

You will know the EU leadership is taking the the US and Greenland threats seriously when they cut off Palintr, or other defense contractors that are deeply intertwined with US intelligence from government contracts

Everything else is just pandering and posturing so they look like they are doing something in the news while doing nothing that matters

I'm doing the design keynote at #axecon 2026! I'll be refuting – err I mean, discussing how accessibility isn’t something generative interfaces or AI will fix.

The event is free/online and folks can register here: www.deque.com/axe-con/regi....

I'm sorry to see obituaries for Dr. Gladys West this morning: https://thezebra.org/2026/01/18/dr-gladys-west-mathematician-whose-work-made-gps-possible-dies-at-95/

She was brilliant and did a lot of incredibly important scientific work, a lot of which was hidden/uncredited early on, because she was a mathematician in a time when "computer" was a job description.

Apologies to anyone on BlueSky that currently follows my posts from the fediverse. It is simply now too dangerous to allow my posts on to that network. I will be opting out of the bridge. Good bye and good luck.

I wasn't aware it has to be said, but here we are:

PLEASE STOP BLINDLY UPLOADING PHOTOS WITH METADATA!

I really didn't want to know the exact house the 3D model creator lives. I was surprised when my Nextcloud showed me photos I've supposedly taken somewhere in the USA.

I try not to make “indistinct complaining about the state of technology” a habit, but it is perturbing how I've had a year-old monitor stop working over Christmas and the two (!) subsequent factory-new replacements each arrived with obvious manufacturing defects.

I don't even need super accurate colors or anything, I just want a working screen. 😭

You can tell PGP is fit for purpose because I have had a published and attested key for YEARS and not once has anyone ever bothered to use it to contact me.

After much faffing about, I have implemented the dynamic #OAuth2 client creation for #GoActivityPub services using the Client ID Metadata Document[1] that's been proposed as a replacement(?) for RFC7591 (Dynamic Client Registration Protocol).

The changes are in both the Authorization service and in the BOX #ActivityPub client to server helper.

i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory

Well, you'll be pleased to know that, after letting Claude Code loose on my VPS, it's not only restored my missing blog posts from a backup, but also removed the duplicate posts from my original WordPress transfer.

10/10 would recommend.

This is absolutely awesome! The @leavexLeave X - Protect Democracy campaign now has their website up an running, so we can see exactly which members of the EU parliament still support Musk's disinformation platform X, and avoid voting for them.

I hope @leavexLeave X - Protect Democracy expands to add every national parliament — the disinformation has to end.

Se their excellent overview here:

Please boost this to support the campaign.
