Hi! I'm Katherine, or webkitten. I've been on the internet since our family got our first computer - a Tandy Sensation.

Yes, I went to computer camp as a kid and learned how to program BASIC on Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 4.

I'm trans, queer, and bisexual. #actuallyautistic

I started programming with PHP in the mid 90s and haven't stopped. I'm an advocate for the open web; I used Netscape as long as I can remember.

I have an obsession with Hello Kitty, Moogles, and Squishmallows.

  • Ok, here's the thing. I don't remember many dreams from a week ago but to this date I still remember waking up as a kid in the early 90's and looking down the stairs and seeing two people in period clothes standing at the bottom of the stairs. We lived in a house from the 1800s so it checked out; and given that I genuinely felt a force when I tried to close the basement door, I believe they were basically standing guard between the cellar door and me protecting me.

  • A reminder you can donate to AA though a multiple number of ways including a simple Amazon gift card and it takes less than 5 minutes.

  • I finally moved my personal dev/blog server to Hetzner and today was the first time in a while that the AWS bill was smaller than what it normally was (I did get rid of everything - EC2, S3 - except for domain registrations since I didn't want to renew ones that just got renewed yet). Obviously I was still just paying for half the month so next month should be even smaller.

  • Look at Kacsmaryk and mifepristone.

    Look at Comstock.

  • Whitney's was great, no doubt, but nothing top's Dolly's version.

  • Between Brave Little Toaster, the Punky Brewster Challenger scene, and the swamp scene in Neverending Story, it's a wonder the way I am.

  • We want Homerun Homer.

  • It has basic app folders; I just meant some of the controls that you can do in Nova like setting folders to specific tabs, showing apps in folders in main draw, etc.

  • Well that's not going to hold up in court.

  • This is exactly why the first thing I did was disable updates for Nova, just in case.

    I have been using Lawnchair Nightly as my default home screen though; there are a couple of things that aren't carried over from Nova (mainly folder and tabs in app drawer) but for the most part it's pretty comparable.

  • I tried it for a year to compare it to 1password, but I didn't like the fact that their Notes type didn't include markup.

    If I wasn't already invested in 1P, however, I would definitely use it and be happy with it.

  • I just wish they updated OSM data quicker; I've done updates that still aren't represented.

  • Please Sam bring Colbert to Dropout.

  • I did read about disk space but it's pretty clean; it was a fresh install, no Windows.

    Home is on a secondary drive, Linux on SSD. Plenty of space according to File Manager.

    The graphic drivers are the standard that came with the Laptop; going into Driver Manager showed no updates necessary.

  • If you're on Android (not sure if iOS has an equivalent app), one of the easiest things you can do is download Street Complete and take 15 minutes a day to use it in order to fill in information about your neighborhood.

  • Keep in mind, even IF something could be done by GUI, if you ask for help, 95% of the replies are immediately going to tell you to open CLI…

    To be fair, you'd find that with Windows too; someone telling you to run some command in Powershell or the prompt (even Start > Run).

  • On Linux Mint, most updates and backups can be automated; installing ClamTK from Software Manager can be automated; the Software Manager, itself, is a GUI.

    The terminal is helpful but required? Not really.

  • Doing a pure EU PDS is great; hopefully they do a Webview too, so that moderation and trust and safety aren't at the behest of US Bsky.

  • If media companies make it impossible to buy and own content, then pirating is not unethical.

  • Debian; comes on Linux or on a tiny blue pill.
