@patrickleavy Yeah, we just got rejected (again) for NLNet/ngi funding so I won’t be holding my breath.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Fuck.

@patrickleavy One or two ;)

@bondo *sigh*

@bondo Fuck. Its official?

@patrickleavy Thanks :)

On nostr, I try to stay away from things funded by Jack Dorsey; I find it’s a good indicator that the intent is different. And yeah, I wouldn’t touch anything that finds proof of work any way acceptable on a dying (being murdered) planet.

@Tutanota Also, this is what Brave is actually about: https://basicattentiontoken.org

@Tutanota It’s run by a homophobe. You decide.

@jess Not at all; that’s exactly right and so well articulated. Thanks for sharing :)

Hope my friends in the US will manage to stave off fascism for another four years tomorrow.

If you do (fingers crossed), please don’t stop there. Do whatever needs to be done to change the system—bring the whole damn thing to a halt if you need to—so you don’t find yourselves in the same place again in four years.

The worst thing that could happen is that Trump wins. The second worst thing that could happen is that Harris wins and y’all go “right, job done, time to hibernate for four years”.

Really enjoying adding end-to-end tests to Kitten¹ using Playwright² and my own little Kitten controller class for starting/stopping/otherwise interacting with the Kitten server.

Just wrote some that comprehensively test identity creation and authentication for Small Web places:

Lots more to write but I think I’ve found a good flow :)

If you’re running a relatively recent version of Node.js – I’m on 22.x for Kitten¹ at the moment– and you use ES Modules (because, of course, you use ES Modules, right, because it’s almost 2025…) and you want to use .js extensions on your files and not have to litter package.json files with "type": "module" all over the place, you can start Node with the following flag and it should Just Work™ ;)

@Dandelion There’s a reason you’re not a billionaire. (And that’s means as a compliment.)

@pgcd Just boosted. Good luck :)

@Saltssaltgirl It’s that time of the year where we once again thank you for being a lovely human being :)

Needless to say, don’t scan any random QR-codes you get spammed with here.

When teaching your kids that settler colonialism, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and genocide are bad, please remember to tell them that this doesn’t apply to Israel.

You wouldn’t want to raise antisemites, after all.

The UN is a joke if they don’t expel Israel following this.

@Shivviness Which begs the question: were they ever truly “otherwise decent?” Funny thing about decency, it usually extends to opposing genocide.
