I am trying out some changes to the Explore tab here on mastodon.social. Only one post per author will now be displayed, allowing more different authors to be seen. I've also tweaked how quickly those posts fall off.

#GitHub #OAuth tokens stolen, those with #Heroku and #TravisCI integration have cause to worry. The attack seems to be highly targeted.

First Impressions

https://paper.wf/kepic/first-impressions

I'm starting an original #webnovel. I'm publishing it as I go, so some editing is likely to happen post-publication. It's called *I Am What I Kill* and features a #serialkiller protagonist in a world with #superpowers. #Scifi is an integral part of the setting, as we all know that #supertechnology and #superintelligence are superpowers.

CW: death, murder, villain perspective

Are group chats coming at some points? Chats with relatively simple invite links/codes would boost Jami's visibility greatly.

Incredible pictures as Australia’s gathering for the #climatestrike
This is the huge crowd building up in Sydney.
Australia is setting the standard!
Its bedtime in New York...so please share as many pictures as you can as the strikes move across Asia to Europe and Africa!

I'm honestly baffled by some authors. They're apparently using #patreon to get paid for writing #fanfiction. I thought that was a big no-no?

A few weeks ago, Fabrice Bellard released a Javascript engine that's a "[f]ast interpreter with very low startup time", includes a bytecode compiler and can create executables.

Why wasn't this international news?

Does anyone know any good resources/courses on #progressivewebapps?

An alternative take on the setting. Crossfics are interesting - authors sometimes make very interesting choices in blending two settings.

I enjoy the creativity, filled plot holes, deeper background, expanded universe, and alternative relationships. I'm actually not much of a shipper but sometimes they just make more sense (Harry/Hermione, anyone?).

What if's. That's why I write them as well.

My favorite originals are #Worm, #harrypotter, #wh40k, #dresdenfiles, #prototype, #masseffect.

Ah, a Twitter alternative instead of FB alternative. It's fine.
