Whenever I feel alone I always try to remind myself that my parents are looking down on me with love, hoping that one day I’ll find happiness with someone, and also that I’ll let them out of the attic.

So many takes about “how dare the state try to tell a corporation what to do”

Not enough acknowledgement of “the state is punishing it’s biggest employer for the absolute most minimal statement the employer could make in support of the LGBTQ+ community.”

Can everyone reblog this to help me find more black and/or lgbtq or disabled Mastodon users to be friends with 💛

I finally installed Stylus because the default UI of Mastodon is a low-contrast homoglyph mess.

My styles, if you wanna copy:
“`
@-moz-document domain(“[your instance domain]”) {
html {
scrollbar-color: rgba(255,255,255,.5) rgba(0,0,0,.1);
}
body.system-font {
font-family: Cabin;
}
.status__content, .compose-form .autosuggest-textarea__textarea {
font-size: 1rem;
}
}
“`

Someone’s done an awesome “orchestral remix” of Chrono Trigger’s main theme.

“Cannot publish unborn HEAD” has to be the creepiest way anyone could possibly say “Can’t publish branch with no commits”. The only explanation I have is that Git was written by an interdimensional eldritch horror and Linus Torvalds found it one day and was like “this is cool”

My wife’s coworker (who teaches several computer science classes at the HS) found out I’m a software engineer, and asked her “What’s she do? Full stack, front end?”

She texted to ask and I promptly and without thinking responded “Front end in the streets, full stack in the sheets”.

I’m proud of that, as nonsensical as it was, because apparently it made him snort coffee.
