if you put my blog in your feed reader, you might have gotten a couple notifications about a new post, which is the same as the one that's already there today (depending on how your reader works). that one's my bad - i was fixing up some of the spec non-compliance in my feeds, which meant changing the ID for posts (didn't realize the ID had to be a URI in atom, oops). it's all fixed now and you shouldn't get any more issues like that. sorry if you got some unnecessary pings!

on the plus side - i took the time to also serve up an old-school RSS 2.0 feed, as well as a fancy-pants JSON Feed. they all work the exact same way, except now you have Choices. fun!

after a whole bunch of work, pebble.nix has finally gotten to a state where all the new changes work reliably on all supported systems! getting a developer environment for building pebble apps and watchfaces is now as simple as nix develop, on both linux and macos!

congratulations to nintendo for being the first company to be late to their own console launch. truly innovation knows no bounds

DID YOU KNOW: Food companies have been using cryptic combinations of numbers and letters in their ingredients lists to hide DANGEROUS chemicals, such as monosodium glutamate! For more information and to learn how YOU can educate your friends and family so they can avoid products with these ingredients, visit e621.n- (i am forcibly dragged off the stage as the audience boos at me and shouts something along the lines of "get new material")

Bluesky, social media, why it's all shit and what can we do about it

(editor's note: I wrote this thread primarily for a Bluesky audience, but I feel that there's some substance people here will enjoy, so I'm x-posting it over here as well - if it feels like I'm speaking to the wrong crowd, that's probably why. You even get the pre-editing version that I had to chop up to fit the bullshit 300 char limit of Bluesky posts! Lucky you, hey?)

After watching Bluesky's moderation team reveal their hand and make it painfully clear that they are either unwilling or unable to effectively moderate their platform, and subsequently watching the people they threw under the bus get mad about it, but ultimately fail to convert that energy into any meaningful movement or action against Bluesky as a platform, I have to ask...

What the fuck are we doing here?
