Doing an post. I am a ~30 enby who is mediocre at being a gay and at being a software developer. I'm back from a bit of a break from fedi and I'm looking to just kind of vibe around a bit.

I have an interest in tech (especially open source software, or at least the idea of it) and I play a lot of Final Fantasy XIV and a few other video games.

ukpol, UK markets, the 2008 Financial Crisis repeating itself as farce 

One way in which the Tories have been lucky this week: so far, I suspect most people just have the sense that things have been messy and chaotic, when actually we were very close to a Lehman-Brothers-in-2008 level event. Handy Q&A explainer here: enterprise-sharing.ft.com/rede

Today I went out to get lunch, bought lunch, brought it back to the flat and then forgot that I had it and did not eat lunch.

(no harm done, I'm eating it now)

serious question about Twitch, forgive me I'm old in internet years 

What on earth is a "bit" on Twitch? When a viewer gives a streamer a "bit", what on earth is the streamer actually getting?

all websites should let you see the password requirements before resetting your password, because sometimes i see the requirements and go "OH right i know the password now" but i've already reset it because i couldn't remember

Opsec reminder 

Maybe I'm preaching to the choir here, but please, NEVER, EVER, EVER advocate for anything illegal online. Especially if it threatens the status quo.

At best, you'll be banned from your account. At worst, you can be arrested.

Leave that stuff for the darknet and in-person meetings.
