Matt Sutton @xietanu.bsky.social · 08/04/2025This feels particularly mask-off to me. TERFs have spent a lot of effort to create a narrative that their bigotry is 'protecting women', but pretty hard to make argument like that for ace people (and JK doesn't even really try).

Matt Sutton @xietanu.bsky.social · 28/03/2025Pulling together some my work on SpaghettiCode into a library for creating dynamic UIs in #picotron. E.g. the column on the right is 30% of the window width, with a minimum width of 80px. Aiming for something kind of like CSS flexboxes? Hoping this'll be useful for a few projects down the road! 0110
Matt Sutton @xietanu.bsky.social · 25/03/2025Trying out a theme setting for SpaghettiCode to give an easier/more unified way to change up the colours. I just have a few thrown-together examples at the moment, but I plan to add more and a way for users to define their own. #picotron 130
Matt Sutton @xietanu.bsky.social · 23/03/2025Adding the ability to edit saved carts, as well as the RAM, to SpaghettiCode - making it usable while sandboxed.
