Imagine if we spoke about wearing glasses like we do other disabilities.

“Oh, you don’t need them, just SEE harder.”

“What’s wrong with you? You’re just making it up for attention.”

“Oh, sorry, we can’t make the text bigger, it’s just how we do things.”

And yet, wearing glasses is acceptable and normal. But if you didn’t wear them, you would be disabled! You wouldn’t be able to see properly. We have made a wholesale, societal adjustment for people who wear glasses to the point where glasses are now a fashionable item that people wear false lenses for.

It is possible to make accessibility part of the world we live in. It is possible to do it in such a way that as a civilisation, we don’t even see it as a disability, but as something completely normal.

The instance fetches and authenticates itself over ActivityPub, turning on authenticated fetch and blocking the domain will be enough to prevent new fetches.

Time to get crazy! (The yinglet species is, as always, Valsalia's creation.)

Pine martens caught on camera playing on children's swingset in Ardnamurchan, Scotland. The owner of the video, Les Humphreys, tells us this is a nightly occurence in his garden.

ph, sleep 

So last night was weird and unpleasent sleep wise; for the first couple of hours I kept waking up every 20 minutes and then when I eventually dropped off at 1am it was only for three hours and then I woke up and couldn't fall back asleep until 7am at which point my alarm went off at 8am.
Really feeling rough today because of it; hopefully I'll be feeling more awake when I get to work.

My state of identity often swaps between wolf and Renamon, but there are times when I kinda feel both at the same time. In those cases it's like I'm a wolf wearing a Renamon fursuit!

Full suit, of course, because wings are important for birds.

The 64-bit time_t transition is now in progress in unstable, preparing Debian to deal with the "Year 2038 Problem". lists.debian.org/debian-devel- #debian

Since this month, we have the piracy museum/collection in-house. Around 2000 illegal disks and cassette tapes with movies, software, and music. The stories behind brands like Twilight, Crazy Bytes, WinWarez, Braun MTV Charts, and Moviebox are now shared in the music, as well as the hunt from the copyright authority to stop this. It's a piece of culture and fits right in the museum! #HomeComputerMuseum #retro #museum

@xssfox all job ads should clearly state at least the following 3 critical pieces of information:

1. Starting salary
2. Number of furries in the ops teams
3. Number of catgirls in the dev teams

Finally got myself a slouch beanie and wow it actually fits and feels comfortable!!

Whenever I ponder the advancements of my field I get thoroughly dejected. Take the latest "great innovations":
- **Targeted ads** ended privacy in a way that makes Gestapo look like silly children
- **Crypto** gave rise to the scourge of ransomware
- **"Self-driving" cars** destroying our hopes for good public transportation
- **AI** turning the semantic web into a web of lies

If you're not an anarchist/communist by now, you're not really paying attention.
