I've got a spare so I'll prob just drive to some car place near the conf and get it fixed while I get brekkie.

One of my front tires popped on the highway as I was in the middle lane. 🥲

Luckily I managed to manuver to the side befoee it caused a collission.

Now I gotta figure out how to coordinate getting this thing fixed while I attend 🤪

Who says Computer Science can't be a little magical? Today I'm proud to announce the publication of my textbook, aligned to @csteachersorg and @nextgenscience standards for grades 6-8: Computer Science for Kids: A Storytelling Approach. Learn more at cs4kids.club #K12 #students

Ended up going back to Evolution installed via Flathub. It's not perfect and Flatpak makes it so that it's not inheriting my OS theme. But it's good enough. :P

Hardest part of setting up my as my main machine is figuring out what to do for my Calendar and Email stuff. I have like 5 calendars and 6 email accounts I want to sync and stuff like Kontact/KOrganizer are waaaay too heavy.

Seems to be using like 1GB of RAM on idle for some reason. 🙃

One of my coworkers has a bunch of her talks posted online and it seems to have some useful tech info in there.

Seeing early adopters successful like this give me major sense of happiness after over a year of development work #p2p #webdev

I think I may have recovered my mastodon instance finally. 😭

Advertising is literally pollution and it causes psychic damage

The US has been purpose-building hell on earth for minors for about two decades, and mark my words *everything* that is being done to trans kids and undocumented kids will make that hell far, far worse for all kids here.

Public spaces ubiquitously ban minors these days, hostile civil engineering that builds stroads everywhere make the outdoors ugly and dangerous, the commons have long since been enclosed, the internet is deep into its own age of enclosure, surveillance of minors is becoming more widespread and invasive every day, their rights and privacy are barely that of property. Now we see them being stripped of labor protections and subjected to genital exams.

Our most vulnerable community members are *daily* being subjected to more and more inhumane conditions, deprived of autonomy and humanity. Our society's naked contempt for the young seems to have no end.

A big day to day pain point for me is that my speech is like a quarter of the speed I think at ao my brain gets confused trying to keep my sentances queued up and coherent.

I wish I could dump thoughts out my mouth at the same rate as the 2x speed youtube videos I watch 🤪

Socket Runtime’s #p2p takes #wasm out of the cloud, beyond the edge, and makes it ubiquitous. “Edge” computing is just a half step on the historic path away from the costs and constraints of the data center.

I wish retirement wasn't just an option for the privileged but a mandatory thing for everyone. I feel like we could have more social progress if people (including those with power) would just vibe and relax for their final years before death.

Speaking to older people their perception and values in life change over time and we could all benefit by embracing it.

ZIP files are fun. You need to scan for 4 magic bytes starting from the end of the file. Then from there you can figure out how many bytes before that offset to start finding "file header offsets" in the rest of the file and the file names / sizes. But then you need to parse the file header offset to actually know where the file starts. :P

Very convoluted but I guess it could be worse.

I wish more folks I knew ran or a similar p2p browser so that I could send them p2p archives of web articles instead of raw links so that they could skip the paywall and adblocking bits on their end. 🤔
