Con moment I will never forget: years ago at Megaplex while in suit I bumped into a white wolf with blue markings in the group photo. We chatted, kept talking for a long time as we waited, then ended up hanging out. I eventually had to go to headless for a cooldown and she went with me. As we there, she mentioned how adorable I was. I apologized in advance with โwell, going to ruin that now Iโm afraidโ and popped my head off.
โNope, it doesnโt change it a bit.โ
We hung out for hours in suit that day, ending up in a giant pile of others in the inflatables room just laughing and being incredibly silly. I will never forget it and itโs a reminder to me that we all deserve and need to be told weโre beautiful and we need to remind those around us of their beauty.

All human beings have value and deserve basic human rights.
We must work proactively to identify and correct systems that prevent people from exercising their rights.
This isn't complicated and it shouldn't be controversial.
For my birthday, I'd really like it if my beloved fedi could spread word far and wide of Kitsune Tails. It's a platformer with a heartwarming story featuring queer main characters and personal discoveries in classic SMB3 style. You can find trailer, screenshots, and wishlist links here: https://kitsunegames.com/kitsunetails
It's coming out this year and the team and I have been working hard on it for several years now. Most of the team is queer in some form so by boosting you'd not only be making me happy on my birthday, but supporting a bunch of queer creators making queer art as well

my interest in musl wasn't because of some arbitrary marriage to POSIX, but rather that it aims to be as safe as could be expected from a C library.
the interest in algorithmic safety, thus hardening alpine's security posture as a result, is why we switched from uClibc to musl.
when the eglibc changes landed in glibc to allow for glibc to be modularized, alpine considered switching to glibc instead of musl. it was around the same time. that alternate universe version of alpine now exists as wolfi, but that's beside the point.
musl is, incidentally, *really* committed to the algorithmic safety angle. one of the reasons why the "musl == static linking" meme exists is because for a long time, musl did not support dynamic linking.
this was because not just any dynamic linker would do: the linker had to be safe, and it had to fail safe. this is also why dlclose(3) is a no-op on musl: you can't implement dlclose(3) in a memory safe way, it's just impossible.
the point here being that people will solve problems by leveraging the loci of control they already possess.
you have a bunch of OS designers working on systemd who need to solve a pain point *today*, so yes, they will use systemd as their instrument to do so.
similarly, we have used alpine to move the needle.
everyone does it. it is how technical progress is accomplished, you use the influence you have to push things in a direction that hopefully makes the world better somehow. or at least in a direction that can get a ticket or two closed out.
anyway, my suggestion is to stick to POSIX when you care about simplicity as your path to writing portable code. for all other cases, use abstractions as necessary to factor out platform-specific implementations.
and maybe don't take the "POSIX supremacy", "X11 supremacy", etc people seriously. because their arguments usually wind up not being worth taking seriously.
Across the political Right, the narrative is that disability benefits (primarily Personal Independence Payments; PIPs) are too easy to get & are often paid to the 'undeserving'... however, in reality nearly half of applicants are rejected, rising to over two thirds for endometriosis (a gendered dimension I'll leave you to ponder), but with high rates of rejections over-turned on appeal (often with the same evidence).

How do we get people, politicians and big business to really engage with #ClimateBreakdown ?
Itโs like a scab weโre all to afraid to look under. But unlike a scab, leaving it isnโt the adult thing to do. Our environment wonโt heal itself aloneโฆfor starters we need to stop inflicting wounds.
So what do relentless mega storms, rising sea levels and crop failure look like in reality?
How do we prepare, adapt and mitigate?
We must visualise these issues.

In the most glorious "fuck you" I have seen in a while, you know the book that Cumberland City Council banned because they're homophobic bigots - Holly Duhig's "A focus on Same Sex Parents"? Well, the publisher, BookLife Publishing, have made a PDF version of the book available for free.
Sure be a shame if it was shared far and wide now, wouldn't it?
Every time you ban a book filled with hope and kindness, and care and love, we will resist.

Allow me to contribute to all the aurora photos in your feed today.
Drove up to Wyoming last night. It was so amazing to see the sky out there.
Iโm seeing this graphic making the rounds without attribution - many versions have the info at the bottom cut off. The creator is alienyrox2 on reddit (https://www.reddit.com/user/alienyrox2/).

I just got the greatest light show I will ever have in my life. The sky exploded with light and motion. It was like nothing Iโve ever seen before.
It was dancing, curling, flickering like an electric flame. It was impossibly tall and bright as a moonlit night.

We desperately need a vision and a long term strategy
โWe understand that reports such as this can lead to a feeling of despair. However, as some scientists pointed out, hope lies in ensuring we keep ourselves and the next generation well informed so that we can push those in power to make decisions that will benefit our planet.โ

Someone on tumblr asked why 3.5" floppy disks seem so much more friendly (or "pleasant and edible" to use their terminology) than 5.25" floppy disks, so I wrote about it:
https://www.tumblr.com/foone/750216135935492096/why-do-35-inch-floppy-disks-seem-so-much-more
TL;DR: It's because Sony.
Why do 3.5 inch floppy disks seem so much more pleasant and edible than the 5.25 inch ones? cause they are. 5.25โณ and 8โณ disks were designed by IBM engineers who wouldnโt know good consumer good deโฆTumblr
