I am downright delighted to announce that my latest book, YOU DESERVE A TECH UNION, has a brand new look. I really love it, and I hope you do too.

Here’s a look at what’s changed and—maybe more importantly—what’s stayed the same:

In advance of the April #AtoZChallenge I wrote another blog post. This one is about the epics that have women heroes, but I won't include them in the series in April.

To read the list, and the reasons why, visit the blog:

(And if anyone has any suggestions for getting translations for some of these, that would be great )

hey! I've just moved here today and i thought I'd start by introducing myself. I'm an ecologist, specialized in avian and herpetofaunal ecology. i am also very interested in the data science aspect of the discipline, and i am working on getting more familiar with the ins and outs of R programming, and hopefully moving to more conventional programming, so i can feed into my other interests.

i am also muchly into open source software, specifically Emacs and Void Linux, and in my free time, work on contributing to Void Linux packages and my Emacs config. i tend to talk about all of these things a lot.

I'm big on cats. well, basically everything about them. expect a LOT of photos.

i also play the guitar a little and I'm predominantly into loud and dark music. I do talk about the music i listen to as well, both here and on my blog articles.

i also occasionally like to indulge in woodworking, and i hope to get more active with it

i have been blogging since 2016, on and off, and recently revived my blog after a hiatus of nearly 2 years.

I miss the times when #Google seemed kinda cool. There are many things in the web today that seem cool, but how will they end up?

I forget what prompted me to back @Iconfactory’s Tapestry, but I’m glad I did!

I played around with the beta on and off, but now it’s become a great way of checking on my social media when I’m busy. Not to mention a great way to check on YouTube channels, blogs, and podcasts that aren’t usually in my daily rotation. (In short: It’s become my daily go-to for the Internet.)

Here’s a little more about Tapestry: https://usetapestry.com

I am looking to move my blogs - trans content and photography away - from US-based providers (sorry, decent Americans!). Is there a particular UK, Commonwealth or European platform folk on here would recommend?

(Pic of sunlight shining through stained glass onto stone columns is from one of my photography blogs)

RSS folks got it first but I've written a new blog post https://jacky.wtf/essays/2025/back-to-livtet/ and this week's pile of notes https://jacky.wtf/weeknotes/2025/Mar-14/

Good chance this'll be more dense over the new few weeks as I pick up more time from reading to focus on Livtet and start writing more about what I'm reading

I cancelled my #Spotify Subscription at last, so I wrote about it.

WP.com's Query block is seriously the most unintiutive piece of UI ever. Even after reading the documentation I'm scratching my head lol.

I wrote this yesterday but forgot to post it, it's just a bit of a ramble about being a fake fan of something, what does that even mean anyway?

Definitely a messy one this time.

Hi everyone!

I’m Sylvester, a student from Malaysia. While I’m studying business by day, I’ve fallen deep into the #indieweb rabbit hole and spend my nights coding as a hobby.

Things I’m into: #blogging, #minimalism, small side projects that spark my curiosity.

Cheers!

I believe that it's my duty to publish the answer to previously-unanswered questions. That way, the next person who comes along has an easier time. "Filling in the gaps of the internet": https://evanhahn.com/filling-in-the-gaps-of-the-internet/

I want to document the way you might have a possibility to use the same software to make a similar website. @Madiator2011 already done that with blog.madiator.com. Lets go over: where you get the code, how do you set it up, how do you publish, how do you manage accounts, and most importantly, how do you modify everything, so it will look like your own thing.

#ChronoTrigger is 30 years old, so I wrote a blog post about some thoughts on it, maybe I'll play it again this year and finally write my full review for it?

Cool blog post on Leaded Solder (one of my favorite blogs), where they make a space shooting game with Nintendo Family BASIC on the Famicom.

From unboxing to programming to the finished video of the game on YouTube, everything is carefully pictured, linked and documented-- an amazing post that really shows why I dig this blog so much.

In this blog post, I talk about my first console ever, it was... not great

Hey @jayeless, just stumbled on your blog piece from a year ago;

"I wish there was a federated, ActivityPub-based LiveJournal ... a blog, where I can make occasional friends-only posts (not private or password-protected posts), and take advantage of ActivityPub for authenticating my friends. A Dreamwidth-like distinction between true “friends” and more distant “subscribers” wouldn’t go amiss ..."
