A close up of Bertie, an orange cat. He's on his back looking into the camera with one eye closed and one eye open, and his ear stick underneath him (on my leg)

RE: tldr.nettime.org/@tante/11728158802… That one time I went viral for calling out a multi-billion dollar company and all I got was 200 mastodon followers, a journalist in my DMs and the slight annoyance of people who have large amounts of money

I haven't really posted about it, but the bots have been getting worse recently. In the past couple of months they've started bypassing protections that were effective for more than a year previously and hitting peaks of 160 requests per second against my forge […] [Original post on tech.lgbt]

OK I had a look at the steam frame and this seems like it could actually be crazy for FPV content recording? With the dual 5k60 HDR cameras plus the fact that it's running a full Linux system that you could probably hook digital viewfinders for other cameras up to as well

It's so so important as software developers we don't forget that we aren't working on a production line - what we do is creative work, is art, and artists are our siblings in persuit.

Computer code is not art. It has no aesthetic quality. It's generally not even seen and frequently hidden.

It's engineering - you don't need to get all up yourself by claiming to be "artists".


Jade posted:

As someone who has performed in orchestras, hosted touring musicians, shot video onstage at festivals, livestreamed events, and worked with photographers, sound engineers and producers - Computer programming and software development is just as much art as any of them. Calling what we do engineering is a poor excuse to forgoe solidarity with our fellow creatives.

The #Continuwuity #Matrix server has just hit 1,000 stars! I can't thank everyone enough for the constant support of the project, from code, documentation and moderation to guides and recommendations. Here's to another thousand, and to another 18 months of awesome.
A line graph titled "Star History" displays the growth of GitHub stars over time for the repo continuwuity/continuwuity. There is a massive spike around February 2026, and constant growth since then.

Matrix is great nowadays
Pictured: A very purple chat client with chat rooms (channels) and spaces (servers) down the left, a call UI in the middle with five people in it, and a chat timeline on the right. On the left, users have pronouns next to their names. Ginger has posted a meme saying "Jade is calling". On the right, a Continuwuity banner from a previous post can be seen. There's even more going on, but you get the idea at this point.
