hiya,
quickly dipping back in here to let yall know that my cool website is now live!! it’s still a heavy work in progress but constructive feedback would be appreciated :))
since i’m trying to leave most social media with minor exceptions, once my site is a bit less rough around the edges, it’ll become the landing page for anything regarding yours truly, whether that’s projects i’m working on or drawings i’ve made or whatever. i’m also trying to deliberately avoid using css for now since i’m afraid of it, but maybe i’ll dip my toes into that sort of thing later.
hope yall like it, peace
(or if that doesn’t work try https://kiwi2.nekoweb.org)
does anybody outside the *nix sphere use package managers for their general-use software (stuff like choco/scoop/winget on windows or brew on mac, excluding project dependencies)
the ios 27 beta is causing my test subject iphone to heat up faster than it usually does - only other time it's reached the temperatures it's at is when i accidentally left it in direct sunlight for 2 hours. i'm guessing this has something to do with the search indexer - it's been stuck at 38% for the whole week post-install
i regret to inform you that they haven't gotten rid of the dead space that was so important it involved shrinking the clock
they had it right before ios 26 and yeah it's pointless but what else am i going to be angry at? politics?
if i try and download a piece of software and the only option on the download page is an "paste this curl+bash fuckery into your terminal and enter your sudo password" then that software is automatically ass. just give me a tarball or a package repo, i am perfectly capable of administering my own machine
every year, someone really close to where i live attempts a shitty rendition of the national anthem on their electric guitar before starting an 'unauthorized' firework show. the police usually show up pretty quick. this time, i counted about 4 explosions before they were forced to stop.
encrypt your drives and set a password on your bios/uefi settings, especially if you use a laptop that you take with you
whenever someone leaves a public computer unattended, you can either really help them or be a complete asshole by signing them out for them

every implementation of age verification i've seen either requires you to trust a provider with really personal information or your biometrics, and that alone freaks me out
this whole push for age verification is also going to potentially break smaller platforms and federated networks, and i don't doubt there's some involved in these pushes interested in centralizing internet activity onto big platforms that are easier to manipulate.
making pseudonymous users hand over PII and connecting a real person to a thing that's only supposed to exist online is a problem for people who just like having their actions disconnected from themselves, whistleblowers or people that could be in actual danger if their identities were known.
i could list more but character limits are beating my ass, apologies for all the rewrites lmao
i now have so many feeds in my freshrss setup that my server is hitting it's own ratelimits. currently going through and muting all the inactive/rarely updating feeds. i probably should have done this months ago but ehhhhh
