@octopus@weirder.earth @picklish@weirder.earth Interesting. I don't think "software development" is the right place to draw the line. If I'm just making a game that's not even going to access the network, being licensed and held to a code of ethics doesn't make much sense to me. If I'm working on a website that handles other people's personal information, then yes I do want that and I want others to be held to it.

best thing about wearing a mask out is not catching all of the crud when i go out, but the second best thing is when i get home i can take off the mask with one hand and shake out my long auburn tresses in slow motion, revealing myself to be incredibly hot

"At first we believed that programmers were latently sexist/transphobic, and due to their demographics had never thought about the fact that minoritized communities might need to change their name or gender marker.

twitch.tv/madewokherd Still trying to get good enough at foot controls to get through BIT.TRIP Runner.

I'm gonna say mojeek is.. situationally useful. It's good for when I have a set of seemingly-unrelated words and I want to find a page with all of them.

@zaxusemk I do not have ADHD, but I am autistic. Best I've been able to come up with is to find something else to do (ideally taking advantage of your scattered nature to make progress or at least plans for things you don't usually get to), but that may not work depending on the situation.
