lol so in order to add any kind of 2FA to a Twitch account, I have to give them my phone number and agree to "Twitch may use your phone number to call or send text messages for informational purposes."

How much 2FA goodwill have thirsty companies like this destroyed?

However: bookmark sync is unreliable and relatedly reading list is so janky too that I switched to GoodLinks. And somehow the UI gets increasingly sluggish until I restart it like an old Windows system.

I guess it's time for an experiment. 2/3

since I needed to occupy my brain with something silly that won't cause an avalanche of open issues, I've created the best-possible social card for nohttps.lol

There is something beautiful about taking notes about my first real keynote on the notebook from my first conference. 🥲

always good to receive a monthly reminder of all the wrong turns i've taken in my life

Now that the first draft of my PyCon UK keynote is done and my nerves are settling down a bit, why don't I check on the issues and PRs the accumulated on my FOSS projects…

wow cool did Sentry just fucking HALF the spans included in our plan!?

gotta love when a company introduces a feature you never asked for and doubles the price on a feature you care about

cool cool cool, no action required indeed

Since at this point everyone surely has seen

The Big OOPs: Anatomy of a Thirty-five-year Mistake

(and quartz, of course)

At its 2.5h & focus on game dev, it’s a bit difficult to generally recommend, but it's of course catnip to ME.

And this slide everyone should get framed.

As someone who even used Anki to remember using certain new commands (and failed), I’ve jumped on @judy.co.uk approach immediately.

Since, unlike him, I’m young, vivacious, and dynamic, I’ve went for lolcrab instead of some ancient parchment, of course.

apparently my channel passed 100,000 lifetime views!

that's something Real Tubers™ do per minute, but a milestone is a milestone! 🎉

There’s a fascinating phone scam wave going on that I’ve seen it so far with Apple, Paramount+, and now PayPal. You get an 100% legit looking mail even with valid BIMI headers and everything, telling you about some expensive thing or subscription with a number to call to dispute it. (1/4)

I just noticed something rather unfortunate: a negative payout in my GitHub Sponsors

a bit of spelunking revealed that apparently thanks.dev—that allows to transfer your money into GHS—has refunded a bunch of payments from last year.

if you used this feature, I recommend checking your account
