Before I go to bed, here's a blog post I wrote a while ago and never published, on names and responsibility in software:

Oh yeah, it's #IDAD (International Day Against DRM) again today.

I don't like DRM.

There - I said it. See you all next year.👍

i want computers to be as magical as their promises

Yesterday I blogged about how I’m starting to post the links I previously posted on @indie / the Ind.ie site to my own site (and on here.)

Also I wrote a couple of reasons why… including how often my work is attributed to @aral

Hi! I made this goose emojo set for the fediverse to enjoy. ​

https://www.patreon.com/flan_foundry also has download packs in 200x200 and 500x500 sizes for use outside Fedi under a CC-BY-NC-SA license (or to ease addition to your emoji set). Attribution appreciated. Enjoy!

the idea of “programming is practical and will help you get a job!” is reaaaaally getting in the way of “programming is strange and beautiful and will help you understand the world”

last week I started Project Jortage, a collaboratively paid for S3-compatible media storage solution for fediverse instances

instances can join the pool for free, optionally donating to our OpenCollective. Jortage primarily offers cross-instance media deduplication which is a huge gain for Mastodon instances that indiscriminately copy all media

current members include sleeping.town, glaceon.social, toot.cat, donphan.social, cryptid.industries, and a smattering of personal instances

learn more: https://jortage.com
join by emailing hello@jortage.com or DMing me; I'll walk you through migrating from your current media storage

For those of you under 30: are you aware of the free software (as in GNU) vs. open source (as in OSI) debate?

Please RT for visibility, I think my immediate circle is mostly older people 😆
