Cancelling plans is okay. Putting yourself first is okay. Going for a long walk is okay. Abandoning society is okay. Moving into a cave with a family of raccoons is okay. Giving them tiny swords & shields is okay. Do what you need to do to cope.

Monosexuals are whack. It's Adam AND Eve, not Adam OR Eve! 😤

Just tried out debirdify and it looks like a lot of the folks I follow on twitter are already online.

Also useful to find folks I blocked 🤪

I wish I had some clones so we could work on more stuff than my individual body can do. 😭

There's like a dozen things I want done but I can handle 4 at most at a time in practice.

Sounds like the folks at @capyloon are starting to work on the writable protocol handlers in the new Rust implementation of IPFS.

This will lead to apps being portable between our environments!

Spec writing is hard. It takes so much time to get stuff right, especially compared to publishing some code with maybe a few tests to back it up. 😅

But hey! We've got v0 of our IPLD Prolly Tree implementation up for anyone that'd like to take a look. 😁

Oops, not me applying for another joint grant proposal with folks. :x

Gonna be doing a lot of p2p search indexing stuff over the coming year which will be great.

I am dead, I can’t believe this AI intro text I just got. If you thumb through it, there are all the usual suspects like breadth-first search and probability.

Then you open the first chapter and it goes HARD on the current state of things.

Then it’s back to mathematical notation like nothing happened.

Remember, kids, the most powerful privacy control is to not collect the data in the first place.

I know we joke about how the hardest problems in computer science is cache invalidation and naming things, but it's bonkers how often I run into issues that literally stem from these problems. 😂

Two hours of work and I needed to bypass the service's HTTP cache to make stuff work. 🤷

If you download your Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.

So here's a Python script to convert a Twitter archive to markdown or other formats: github.com/timhutton/twitter-a

Now you can archive your tweets in any way you want.

The fediverse is just a bunch of LAN parties hooked up to each other.

There has been a lot of research about autistics over the years, but this one really took the cake! 🍰

Find out what happened when researchers attempted to compare the moral compass of autistic and non-autistic people... (1/2)

Seven meetings in one day. 🙃 And at least four more this week. 😭

I'm really not worried about Mastodon scaling issues at all.

When I left Twitter in 2008, we had roughly twice as many users as the current combined Mastodon network, all running on one MySQL server that had the same specs as a high-end 2013 MacBook Pro, plus roughly 10 web servers and 5 queue servers.

To be fair, growth wasn't as rapid, and we had local-infra advantages over federated systems, but these problems are solvable and I have no doubt will be fixed soon.

*Hugops to all admins!*

One of those special days where all the projects I've been working on have meetings at once. 🤪
