Something I haven't really ever gotten with tech industry is that certain senior engineers are /revered/ -- it is cool and normal to /respect/ good work and extra cool to tell people (senior or junior to you) when something is impressive to you and you learned something but reverance, per se, is super weird. Just always realize people are people, sometimes we all have dumb ideas, and that applies to yourself, it's such an easier way to be.

GoToSocial has been really impressive so far, the community is kind, and I'm really happy with my first few days here.

I've become a donor, and if you have the resources and want to see the ecosystem diversify beyond "just Mastodon", I encourage you to do the same.

It's great having a brain that, when you're trying to get actual important work done, says stuff like "there are way more unicode characters that don't display any glyphs than there are brainfuck primitives so in theory you'd only need a handful of #defines to reimplement brainfuck entirely in whitespace.

Useful and productive.

The are the 2 paragraphs from https://genderdysphoria.fyi/ that changed my life. These words were the final straws that broke the wall of denial I had built over a lifetime, when I could no longer deny I was #trans

You are given a magical button that will permanently swap your gender, giving you an “opposite-gendered” body that is equivalent to your own in age, fitness, and attractiveness. If you press the button, everybody in your life will have always known you as a girl. They will accept you immediately. You will not lose your partner, your job, or your family. Do you press it? Cis people would not even consider pressing this button, by the way. If you know deep down that you’d press it but are still afraid to self-accept as trans, then your sticking point probably has more to do with your fear of transitioning than it does with your true identity.

I'm going to say this in the most diplomatic possible way that doesn't actively hide the truth. We are being ruled by the dumbest fucking inbred morons who ever ate a raccoon penis.

RFK, a fascist with brain worms, who once ate a raccoon penis he found on the side of the road says the pedophile fucking fascist we decided to let run the country has a "different way of calculating percentages" and gives the examples "if you have a $600 drug and reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction". Welp he's correct about one thing, that's certainly a 'different' way of doing math. The wrong way.

Fox for #fursuitFriday

A photo of me wearing my fox fursuit head, and a yellow-orange and black techwear jacket. I am looking into the camera with a turquoise light shining behind me, contrasting with the yellows and oranges of my outfit.

(cont…) So today I woke up early, made a trip back to that trail, found the flower and… realized I was almost late, as it is now a much deeper purple color! It was a very light lavender just two days ago. I'm guessing it's going to die pretty soon.

So I'm extra happy now that I was able to catch it :-)

I mentioned a few times that I hate shooting flowers. They're beautiful by default, don't require much skill and don't tell any story.

So why am I posting this one?

See, I spotted it on a recent hike, and it's the first time I've seen a purple one, not the regular white. I didn't have a camera with me at that time, and had decided to let it go. But then I felt I really wanted to shoot that particular flower.

(cont…)

#darktable #photography #flowers

Deep purple trillium flower against a backdrop of its own big green leaves. The shot is made from a 3/4 angle, not face-on. One of the three petals is slightly bent down.

In the foreground, you can see beautiful pink blossoms on a bush/tree. I’m standing behind it (a white, blue and purple arctic fox), touching some of the blossoms with my paws.

When I wrote HTML for People, I envisioned non-tech people learning it because knowing HTML is a generally useful skill in information work.

But AI kinda ruins that. Fewer non-tech people want to learn HTML.

But it seems to have found a niche audience among people who still want to learn HTML despite having access to AI. That makes me feel better about it.

I’m glad I wrote it when I did because I’m not sure I could have stayed motivated to write it in 2026 with the proliferation of AI options—whether for writing HTML or for learning it.

Okay, that went well. And I culled the trillium shots from 13 to just 3. Now's the hard part — WHICH ONE OF THE THREE! Interesting angle vs. classic face-on shot, vs. the one highlighted by the sun. What do you think?
