I did some #Art tonight, and while I feel like I'm no professional, I still like sharing
Dabs of paint in different colours with two flowers and a bird drawn overtop
DHCPv6 does exist, and honestly, it is just that
There's actual differences but they are incredibly minor
If I want to build a modern day pager - is there a scene doing this?
I just want a 8 character LCD and a cellular modem. Give it some SMSes or whatever.

Some posts recently made me realize not all who are new here know this.
It is important that you're on an instance where you feel you can trust your instance provider to make the right calls for you, especially around blocking other instances. If you don’t trust the admin of the instance you're on, then you should move somewhere else, be that to a smaller instance where you can more easily communicate with the admin or a larger instance where it's less personal and might feel better for whatever reason
As a reminder, you have to trust someone somewhere in the line for social media to work. So please don't come at me saying "trust is a valuable resource I'm keeping to myself". If you'd rather use Twitter, you're putting your trust in their admins all the same
I have been on XMPP continuously since 2004.
I have setup XMPP servers for organizations and companies
I have built XMPP tooling and clients
I also have friends and communities who want to exclusive on Discord
CW: male gaze
I was just thinking about how much I've struggled to find my personal style because my whole life I've been running away from the male gaze. Not because anything happened, but being demi and not really very interested in being viewed from that kind of perspective has made me stressed to wear anything that wasn't thrown together without any thought. In theory, I want to like what I wear and how I look but the idea of drawing any kind of attention to myself, especially male attention, has driven me to this point where only now am I figuring out what I like to look like for myself...

I mean ActivityPub was created to replace OStatus and import good ideas from Mastodon, partially because it has good ideas.
But yeah, I can't find the spot in the activitypub spec, but I recall there being other ways to do it.
I know I tried to use post title as CW and it didn't work and I need to use the Abstract tag to make a CW and I don't fully get it.
But yeah, it's not that Mastodon is the Evil Empire crushing us, it's just that it has weird norms and can be aggressive about enforcing things to conform to its client, but its programmer doesn't conform to the server model.
One of my worst days on here was when I boosted a private status because Mastodon makes Locked accounts not transmit followers-only statuses, so on my client I just saw it as a regular status with no markings making it private.

I mean - there's also the fact that Amazon doesn't differentiate between real and fakes.
The Amazon scam still works where you send a few fakes to amazon to sell, and then ask for the fake ones back, and get back real ones.i
And I mean - if it's up to me to spot scams - seems bad?
It's not even just third-party sellers, though Amazon definitely should screen those a lot better than they're doing. Even people ordering from Amazon itself have received fake crap or illegal copies of books. Possibly because it was in Amazon's warehouse and they blindly assumed it was the same as the real thing and therefore shipped it as one of their own.
Amazon's inability to prevent itself from selling counterfeit goods should have been its downfall. I mean, isn't that a crime? How does this not hurt Amazon? It's equally hard to believe that Amazon would have no control over what's in their warehouses. They're just intentionally sloppy in order to cut costs. This should have consequences. It would have consequences for anyone else.

Sorry, your right to vote Republican has been privatized
If you want to vote Republican you now need to pay me $30 per vote
Voting is not a natural monopoly and this will lead to increased competition and innovation in the voting Republican space
I call on the democrats to also agree that you should give me $30 before voting for them since private monopolies are great and definitely don't stifle competition

I lucid dreamed once. It was a nightmare and I, of course, thought "oh, I can control this! I can make anything happen..... oh no, what if we're suddenly driving up a giant hill" and poof, a whole lot of giant hills were formed.
Yes, my in dream nemesis is driving up a giant hill. For some reason I have nightmares about them and so dream me is always afraid of them

Well I understood waiting for it to be made! That makes sense!

Planning a scavenger hunt with the kids this morning with some treasure chests I found at the dollar store
I have 4 chests (1 bigger then the rest to end it off) and I drew a picture to point my kids in the right direction
This is the first pic I drew to start them off
Hand drawn rough image of a house with a deck with the words: Outside on the deck
My kids can't read yet, but I still wanted it explained in words to get them thinking about these things

I'm really interested in learning how to use music software. I've tried a bit on my own, and I'm really useless at it, but if anyone knows a patreon or people who actually teach these kind of skills, please let me know because I am possibly quite interested
Thinking on this post @silverwizard looking for someone to make sea shanties and so I've got music on my mind

Doing this re #introduction post for newcomers here 😊
Hi! I'm Becky! 🤗
I draw Helicopter Death (see my profile pic), who's been my pet character since grade 3, I love to #paint, I sometimes write #essays when I think of them and I love doing #research, especially on #bipolar but also on other topics which cross my mind.
I live with bipolar and I think #adhd, so I post about that a lot, and other mental health things. I also post a lot about my kids and random things I think are cool or interesting. Likely sometimes politics. Maybe some lgbtq+ (I'm bi and demi)...
I know things about #memory and #psychopathology too, as those are very interesting areas for me and I've done seminars when I was in undergrad (plus I started grad school in clinical psychology but I never finished)
Adjacently, I'm married to @silverwizard so sometimes I talk about tech stuff too, if a topic comes up between us that sits with me
Nice to meet you all 😊

I adore music and play it constanty to survive
But Shæ is very sensitive to noise so I play it low most of the time.... but importantly, he doesn't dance much or sing along much
So yesterday when he started swaying to music on a patio restaurant I took notes
I played him Jazz today. He said he loves it! I think he likes Jazz!! More music I can play for him!!
Ro is the opposite, he loves music

I don't normally like class anti-solidarity - but this song is exactly what I want out of folk other than that, the exact kind of rhythm - something you can be a crew to

I just bought a sea shanty from @The Corodon who turned around a sea shanty in under a day, and put cool RPG artifacts in it. And uh - it's amazing! I'll hopefully have a recording up soon!
But - uh - holy shit!

My 3yo is asleep
My wife is at the store
My 1yo found a plate he could smash
My wife moved the broom to a room where I couldn't find it
Needless to say, my barely speaking 1yo now knows the word fuck
That one's pretty dang cute
Swearing in French got me through middle school, so it's good to learn!
Today I learned that a friend of mine in the US had their boss ask them "Did you consult your Canadian Tech Friend?" when they were out of ideas
And that's the greatest professional designation I've ever gotten
