Thinking about finally using my Twitch account again to stream the upcoming second PlayDate season.
In case you're deciding whether or not to wear a respirator when you go out:
Consider that the recent #Covid variant NB.1.8.1 which is dominant in much of Asia, and rising globally as we move into the early stages of this summer's surge, features a symptom referred to as "razor blade throat."
The existence of Norway implies the existence of Nandway.
#Microsoft has put vile LLMs into everything including Notepad & Github: https://www.theregister.com/2025/05/23/microsoft_ai_notepad
Escape this dystopia by switching to #FOSS alternatives:
➡️ @CryptPad - Privacy-friendly online office suite, used by the UN 🇺🇳
➡️ @libreoffice - Most popular free open offline office suite
➡️ @CollaboraOffice - Collaborative online fork of LibreOffice
➡️ @ONLYOFFICE - Online office suite, self-hostable
➡️ @thunderbird@mastodon.online (main) & @thunderbird@tilvids.com (videos) - Email & comms suite (RSS, XMPP, IRC etc)

ネコ飛出し注意 (neko tobidashi chūi) Means “watch for cats darting out” and we need more signs like this.
About 8 years ago I went to a pub and had a burger that was served between two mini pepperoni pizzas instead of a bun and I’ve thought about it at least once a week since.
A state of mind should be encouraged that anything can be sabotaged.
"this does not spark joy" and is therefore safe to use in environments where joy may become aerosolised.
My pub has a stronger CoC than a lot of mastodon instances.
Wonder where it's going? /s
Note: All these are things which should be publicly funded, not privatized and run for-profit.
"i don't understand this economy when nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt our grandparents but nursing home aides need to use food banks. daycare is so expensive it eats up one parent's entire paycheck and yet daycare providers only make $10/hr and need second jobs
college costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and puts students into debt for life and yet we have thousands of professors living in their cars.
everything we need is astronomically expensive and yet almost none of the money we pay is going towards the people actually doing the work and providing the services."
Decided to start putting up older vods again.
Let’s travel back to 2018 and be a tiny bug again.

In light of GitHub going full genAI agents, which will likely lead to a flood of garbage PRs that will make dependabot nags a joke:
Would other foss maintainers with projects on GitHub be interested in some kind of event where we all get together and try moving our projects over to @Codeberg?
I’m thinking of it as a way to both promote our foss projects, provide mutual support during the moves, find solutions to small cuts we run into along the way, and just generally have fun together?
Boosts and ideas welcome!
If anyone is interested in talking more about this or participating, even if you’re not a core maintainer for a project, I’ve created Discord and Matrix places we can start chatting in: https://discord.gg/fcSeuv56qp and https://matrix.to/#/%23nohub:matrix.org
I love the irony pointed out by this protest tactic.
The cis controlled state will do everything they can to "unwoman" trans women via the law but we're still female enough that cis people will lose their shit if we show fully visible breasts in public.
Notice that the published photos edited out everyone's nipples.
