don't write alt text at 11pm - I did *not* listen 36 times today, it's been in my playlist since it came out, but the most recent three are today

when I circle back to flashback later this year I want to do a top listeners thing even though it’s completely arbitrary.

it’d be at least a little funnier if I was the only listener and that’s the advantage of using teal: now you can be #1 for your faves (which I think I am for several from a quick scroll)

One Year On: 13 people on the ruling that changed their lives On 16 April 2025, the UK’s Supreme Court ruled that the legal definition of a woman is based on their biological sex assigned at birth. Forget the rage-bait headlines and attempts to divide us through...

my first piece (cowritten with Catriona Innes) in a print magazine comes out today: we interviewed 13 people, mostly trans women, about how the Supreme Court ruling has affected them for Cosmo UK

big tech should invent stuff we actually want like double jump and wave dashing

this seems like a minor distinction, but the solution of "stop users blocking mod.bsky" focuses on "*users can block the labeler*, and it breaks ozone" rather than on "and it breaks ozone"

yeah surely the issue here is ozone not being able to do whatever it's trying to do when blocked (fetching details ig?) rather than users being able to block the mod service?

The solution should be fix ozone/allow it via appview to bypass blocks, not to stop people blocking the labeler

posted this before but I enjoy programming too much to delegate the task, now this is probably because I am not employed as a software engineer, but maybe enjoyable, well paid, fair jobs shouldn’t be that big of an ask

uhh a few (they’re in my nix config because apparently I’m a masochist) but I need to fix some bits because idk if theyre doing what i want

not to discourse, but I’m going to be that one last stubborn bitch still writing her own code no matter what. you’ll have to pry nvim and rustc out of my cold, dead hands

Announcing npmx: a fast, modern browser for the npm registry Today we're releasing the alpha of npmx.dev – a fast, modern browser for the npm registry, built in the open by a growing community.

npmx is now in alpha: this is our story, as told by our team and friends

good news: now I either have to implement account purging, stats recalculation, or account resyncing.

me, last week: this shouldn't cause a race condition, it'll be fine.

me, today, debugging a very strange issue with no real failure logs but a load of PK failures: not again!

built a barbecue at the weekend with mum, at no point did she question why I lifted the handles out and said "habdel" and, y'know, I'm glad of that

ime created_at tends to be missing on older accounts but can’t remember when it was added/fixed* - really don’t think it’d show up during migration tho (because it’d create a new commit)

(*this is fine if you’re Bluesky and have full history but causes nightmares for backfilling)

I’ve needed a good personal domain for a while anyways, but I don’t need anything super pro (and I couldn’t have mia.tld bc $$$).
Besides, the plan is to switch my main PDS (this acc and parakeet.at) to tranquil, and kick the test accs over to another place TBA, and I wanted a more stable handle
