If you haven't yet tried a wetsuit or a rubber catsuit underneath one-piece leather motorcycle suit. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!?!?!?!?!?!?/1/onequestionmark.

Ooooh. that sounds dreamy o.o
Have worn it under fursuit. That was /WARM/ but os so nice!
I've had a few folks ask me how I make https://www.thestopbits.net load so quickly.
It's a boring answer: it's tiny.
There's almost nothing you download when you visit. There's no JavaScript and we use whatever font you have as the default.
It's not a trick, it's just how things used to be. It has to load on a 28.8 modem, so on your modern machine it's going to feel zippy.
Modern websites can feel zippy too.

I sometimes think about trying Rust since they've fixed some of the major language design issues I like and the community evangelism and extreme hype is starting to die down. But I just can't help but think of the last time I tried it, the getting started guide “hello, world!” equivalent added one dependency that then pulled in 25 separate transitive dependencies totaling 97 megabytes of source code (as in, it would likely take actual years to read through it all to see what it all does). Left a very bad taste in my mouth that that's the very first thing you do in the official guide for a hello world program, and that the guide does it without even a word spared to “oh wow look at all this shit that's downloading!”
I think when I posted about it originally someone actually went in and made a PR to remove a number of the dependencies because it was a bad look, but the fact they had to go in afterwards because of bad optics rather than just not pulling the dependencies in in the first place still says volumes to me
Marching along on the fursuit walk at Sotonfurs Summer Party last weekend! It was a fantastic time!

Aww gosh, thank you so much! ^///^ 6 years on and I still love my suit SO much, Selkie did such an incredible job with it. ❤
I have never seen a more stark indication that the internet as we know it is about to die.
I can think of nothing worse that google could do than what this describes.
Contributing to open source is a privilege. It doesn't mean you have cheated to do it or that you don't deserve praise for doing it!
It only means that not everyone can do it. You need the skills, time and will to do it in addition to doing whatever you need to have a good life.
Not everyone has that time. Not everyone works in the field.
We must acknowledge it to meaningfully convey the value of open source in society.
Fun fact: the code which took Apollo 11 to the moon is available on github https://github.com/chrislgarry/Apollo-11/blob/master/Luminary099/LUNAR_LANDING_GUIDANCE_EQUATIONS.agc#L179
And if you look through it you'll see that - joyfully - it also includes original comments.
My absolute favourite thing about the Moon Code is that it includes comments like this: "TEMPORARY - I HOPE HOPE HOPE"

Let’s enjoy the official unofficial last weekend of summer :3
Remember when you could just buy a newspaper for like $1 at a shop?
Imagine if you went to the newsagent and they were like “$25 please”
“Huh? That’s steep”
“Oh that gives you a month of access”
“I don’t want a month of access, i want a newspaper”
“We’ll also flyer your house every day”
“I don’t care, I just want a newspaper. Today’s newspaper”
“You also get access to our other newspapers in other towns”
“I don’t care, I want a newspaper for here, today”
“Oh it’s not just for today. It’s for a month. And three months after”
“Wait, what happens after that, is that it over?”
“LOL of course not. It’s $35 a month after that”
“What? Why?”
“Introductory offer. Also we’ll tell a bunch of other companies where you live and THEY’LL flyer you too”
“Know what, it’s fine, I don’t need a paper”
“I’ll send you a reminder in a week”
“STOP. FFS”
And they wonder why online news makes no money.
