Trying to read a blog post and getting sidetracked by 14px monospace font where the contrast somehow doesn’t feel sharp enough at 9.98:1 and thank goodness for browsers with Reader Mode but anyways hashtag you might like this if you can read it #AstroDotBuild #Emacs #DoomEmacs

@earthshine Mutes, filters, and blocks applied to those who try to use “clever” nicknames for topical people / orgs

It’s the only way I’ve been able to survive online for so long.

@earthshine I have a few specific exceptions on accounts that roll with nicknames, but 80% of the time it’s a block.

@earthshine oh yes for follows absolutely.

But I’m a fan of the pre-emptive block. Something gets boosted into my feed, or I see a reply in someone else’s thread, I keep an eye out for annoyances.

And somebody that still uses Micro$oft or similar, we’re not gonna have a good time if we accidentally converse.

@GillBates @earthshine no, but it means I probably won’t follow this account.

@GillBates @earthshine completely obvious, and appreciated. I just overindulged in satire and ironic detachment up to the early 2000s and my doctor told me to cut back for my health.

@masukomi Do they involve food? A look like that traditionally involves food hopes.

@mhoye that is heckin’ awesome

i wonder if it was supposed to be an insult

Sometimes it seems like every time I do a major editing run through my blog archives, somebody else mentioned in it has died.

Clearly I need to stop doing major editing runs through my blog archives.

@ireneista @mcc yep you probably did know that!

I remember getting bit by variable name constraints in Applesoft BASIC in elementary school.

Always been a fan of verbose names.

Shifted all the posts on the blog’s Astro iteration from Markdoc to MDX and only regretted it a little bit.

MDX version 2 is sufficiently fussy that I was getting XHTML flashbacks.
