gender, non-binary identity woes 

Kinda excited for the day I'll get to hang out in spaces where it/its pronouns are taken seriously instead of with eye boggling.

I think I only have like one person in my life that consistently uses them and it also uses it/its pronouns. It's like how when I came out as a they/them I had to start constantly proving myself, but now it's even with other queer people. 😅

I can see how it'd be hard given how novel it'd be for most folks to encounter though.

Oopsie, looks like my server filled up overnight and now I need to do more clearning. :x

Looks like I'll want to do a more aggressive purge of old attachments. Maybe I should really upgrade to 4+ so I can use the `tootctl accounts prune` API.

Also I think this speaks to there being merit in caching more stuff client side and using content addressing + p2p instead of large central caches.

@nf lmao yeah. The default rental form 410 even encourages applicants to give their SIN even though it's marked as optional it seems kinda dangerous to set that precedent

@jonny looks like it could be related to mating cycles?

@jonny baring her teeth isn't to bite, they have additional olfactory organs that get exposed when they do that.

I see people question @pixelfed over @Mastodon, and that's fine (I ❤️ Mastodon, sent from Mastodon)

However I think it's important to note that Pixelfed has Stories, Collections, Portfolios and much more!

You can post pics on Twitter, but Flickr, 500px and Instagram still thrive!

Portfolios: portfolio.pixelfed.social/dans

Collections: pixelfed.social/c/530360750719

Use whatever best fits you, and know that @pixelfed + @Mastodon work great together ✨

Buh, house hunting is stressful. You gotta give them a bunch of your personal information and finances and then sit there twiddling your thumbs seeing if you actually get it.

Really hope I get accepted for some of these! Really excited to have a proper washer/dryer in my unit so laundry can be less of a pain. :P

@eater Yeah! Know of any nice graphical tools on top of that by any chance?

I wish my terminal was more like browser dev tools so I could see what files were being accessed and what network requests or syscalls were happening + ways of intercepting and modifying these things.

also! Hot take but the js console is easier to use than bash. 😅

not to sound like a huge communist but I don’t think millions of us should have to die hungry and in debt so a couple dudes with really really really big boats can have really really really really big boats

This week, I went over to Bluesky and asked people who'd left Mastodon why they left, and lots of people told me. I grabbed the replies and crunched them and wrote up a summary. I think it's really interesting and often kind of wrenching.

If you're still using Chrome for performance reasons:
- Firefox is now faster than Chrome out-of-the-box
- Firefox uses less memory than Chrome
- Contrary to Chrome, Firefox does not restrict Ad blockers, which will make your browsing experience much faster (and safer).

Whoops, my single user instance with 150 gb of storage got filled up again. 🙃

Found this blog post for pruning data and it's helped.

@bstix @Provider I'm guessing a big part of it is that writing blog posts doesn't pay ad revenue these days. Also most text tutorials are drowned out by algospam and your content will probably get scraped and reposted with better SEO and worse ads the moment it's out. :/

@alcinnz @mauve Yeah honestly, it'd be great to see some alternatives to JS heavy web pages. It'd also be interesting to get more user theming into user agents similar to what we have for desktop environments.
