there's something truly magical about being a long time regular donor for a project and seeing the project that was literally barely able to render my own website at the time I started, slowly but surely grow to the point of almost being usable as a general browser.
It's not quite there yet, but the progress is amazing; My website works flawlessly now, and even complex Javascript-heavy pages like Google Search are sort of usable with the experimental features turned on
Go Servo! You can do it!
You'll soon be able to order an HIV testing kit from the NHS app.

Should hopefully help end HIV transmissions in England by 2030.
I like the phrase “Don’t threaten me with a good time,” because as an introvert, I find few things as threatening as a good time.

Last night the 11yo broke down the Google Slides middle school Chatroom for me:
1. At first they used a Google doc but the infinite scroll was too chaotic
2. In the slide deck each new slide is one “post”—some all text, some images, some both—
3. They use slides’ comments feature to “reply” to each other’s “posts”
4. This allows participants to easily flip between posts using the slide thumbnail navigation, so they can find the conversations they care about easily
5. He owns the file & if anyone spams it, deletes other people’s posts, or gets nasty, he can revert the file to its previous save state & remove the spammer’s access
6. He did share the file with me on purpose, I think because he was proud & wanted me to see what he’d made
Essentially they’ve created a chatroom with moderation in Google Slides, so they can get around the school’s ban on platforms like Discord. It’s kind of brilliant
So our entire economic well being hinges on a company with $20B in revenues spending $1.4T on AI infrastructure when there isn’t enough electricity generated on the planet to power that many data centers?
It's very kind, in these divisive times, of the Cheney family to provide a free, gender neutral public toilet

@christinelove teppu is my absolute favourite manga if nothing else it got me into Muay Thai when it was really needed in my life
Also it has eyebrows
@hyro hah this is just a life long medical thing that I am very used to, it’s not a new thing. I occasionally forget that it’s not something that everyone experiences.
In good news, recently I’ve recently got it to the point where it is not constant which lets me use it as a metric for other things being wrong. It’s definitely not something to be sad for nor is it something I will ever fully get rid of.
It’s like tinnitus but for bad thoughts.
I did not have "neutrino laser" on my bingo card. 🙂
"Benjamin Jones of the University of Texas at Arlington and Joseph Formaggio of MIT suggest that a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of radioactive atoms could offer a platform for building a “neutrino laser”. The scheme would generate an intense, coherent beam of neutrinos that could be a transformative tool for neutrino studies."
Another milestone unlocked for Servo: inline SVG support has now landed 🎉
i should probably mention i am still on the search for a job, staff engineer or senior, remote or uk hybrid
I encourage everyone to wish ill will upon JK Rowling, here and, if you have a Bluesky account, please do so there as well. If you get suspended, please share that information here.
No, I didn't "forget your name", I didn't store it in the first place, it's called being GDPR compliant.
