" Google may be like the borg, unstoppable and unforgiving. But there are the implants, which are well-made, and a decent community and on-going growth. Facebook is pure predatory."

wow, I have 30 gigs worth of stuff in my programming folder. Most of that is just repos I cloned to look through in an IDE and the like, but still. Impressive. :/
Oh god I have like five or six different installations of java. How did this happen? ._.
Ugh, and now netbeans won't start. Blegh. :/
Now, do I want to keep this domain? Or do I want to find something fancier? I'm gonna be federating soon, so I need to make this decision now... :/
Heyyy! I have https done. Huzzah! XD
Iβm sick to death of people being precious about #GMO produce. Functionally there is no difference between a grape bred to have little or no seed and a grape that has been modified in a lab for the same thing. Yβall are just scared of science.
You wanna talk about #Monsanto charging for βlicensesβ for their crops, ok. Talk about agribusiness killing the planet, ok. Talk about corporations copyrighting genetic code, ok. These are all valid concerns.
But the science is sound.
The ice cream truck outside and my emo music are just not getting along. -_-
Hmm. So is my app not validating because I got the dns records wrong? or because they haven't updated yet? Questions, questions... :/
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

Aaagh! DNS Records! Aaaagh! :X
I'm out biking in the mountains and I just got dive bombed by an incredibly loud screechy bug or something. WTF. :/
Okay, migration code written. Of course, I can't test that either without just deploying to me test server. And first I need to figure out Let's Encrypt and all that. :/
The orchid mantis is a big weird lanky bug, which is relatable, but she also rocks high-femme fashion while being a terrifying predator with swords for arms, which is aspirational.
AOf course, now I need to write the migration code. Seems straightforward though. :/
Argh. So I'm thinking I might just push Agora to my demo site in order to test federation. :/
"So much of how I interact with social media is 'How do I uplift connectivity, vulnerability, and intimacy and how do I do away with the rest?'
I'm not here for the callout culture...for the takedown culture...for even just repeating all the horrific news....Where can I find the most loving, generative, creative patterns where I can be vulnerable? Because I need that."
