Happy birthday to ARPANET, the forerunner of the modern internet! 53 years ago, the first message was sent over this pioneering network, paving the way for a world of interconnection and innovation.
As a tech enthusiast, I am constantly amazed by the ways the internet has transformed our lives, allowing us to communicate, learn and share ideas across boundaries and borders. From social media to e-commerce, from telemedicine to remote work, the internet has become an essential part of our daily routines, enabling us to connect with others and access a wealth of information at our fingertips.

the web dev class was rough today, but for reasons mostly out of my control.
Several Chromebooks had build issues with the downloadable Debian VS Code package, so I had to help them add the MS apt repo and install from there.
We had to do some command line work to set git usernames and emails for commits, so that caused friction.
The VS Code git buttons are TINY. I'm sticking with that for now because their editor skills are growing, but it wasn't very clear how to stage files.
I'm going to work on a muscle-memory protocol for them to develop. Fire up the local copy, fetch any updates, and then get to work.
Commit when a chunk of work is done. Don't push til you're ready to be done for the day. Don't open a PR until you're _totally_ done with the task.
All good things, but it's going to take time.
I've been sick, and thus unable to work on commissions, or general art, or promote myself as much as usual, and weekly bills are now due :(
I had to duck out of an exhibition this week too because of MH (and then getting sick so I'm glad I didn't go).
I had a lot of little prints made for it, so how's this - if you spend £10+ in my Ko-Fi shop on physical items with postage, I'll send you a random small (4x4 or 6x4) print for free. ❤

If an employer ever asks you to resign, tell them "no".
There is no benefit to resigning unless you have another job lined up already.
Make them fire you. Get your unemployment benefits. Make sure you are legally protected in case of malfeasance. Resigning undermines all of that.
This message brought to you by AWS telling workers to return to office 5-days-a-week by commuting or relocating, or they should resign.
Again, the answer is "no, you'll have to fire me."
EDIT: To clarify, in most areas "fired" and "let go" are not legally meaningful terms and can be used interchangeably. The important term is "for cause" or not. So don't commit misconduct to get fired. Poor job performance is typically not a "for cause" reason, nor is failure to accept changes like RTO

@matt If you have actually read Kropotkin and you're trying to reverse engineer what an actual person might think, you're overthinking it :)
There *is* an actual kind of stupid person who watches streamers react to video essays where the essayist might cite Kropotkin; this sort of person is likely to be far left, and to care a lot about e.g. Gaza, and maybe even say stuff about how electoralism is bad and " we need revolution". But that's not who I'm talking about…

My matrix dart sdk talk from #matrixconf 2024. All things considered I am pretty satisfied with it, especially considering it's my first completely solo talk.
Working on a prototype in PocketPages. It's a bit rough around the edges but rapidly improving, and I'm having a blast.
Feels like the good parts of old school PHP development, with database and schema management built in, the ability to fall back to Go when you need it, real-time support and a Dart SDK for Flutter, plus other community-supported client APIs of course. About the only thing missing for me is switching SQLite out for something like Postgres if your prototype ever grows large enough, but since 90+% of them won't, I'm just not sweating it.
