Twitter's (apparently quite purposeful) killing of third-party clients ends any chances that I consistently use Twitter again. Follow me on the Fediverse instead: chitter.xyz/@batbeeps

Regarding the current discourse over The Guardian and the word "queer"—it's a letter, in the opinion section, from a person unassociated with the newspaper. Stop acting like it's The Guardian's official stance on it.

Through either ignorance or malice, Twitter is now starting to block third-party clients. Tweetbot isn’t the only one affected. Anyway, follow me on mastodon. chitter.xyz/@batbeeps @tweetbot/1613763746437947394

Can you imagine contrarians in the 90s arguing about how CDs would never replace the floppy disk because of something stupid like “you can’t scratch a CD!” and how they’ll probably come out with a higher-capacity floppy any day now.

CW: A minor gripe about jobs in general (not mine, specifically) Employers where you basically need to be in a leadership or management position to get a decent raise/promotion/bonus are pretty meh. I don’t want to have control other people.… awoo.space/@batbeeps/109483425235927218

Me: Bamboozled over how to make a client JS-only theme switcher without a FOLM (Flash Of Light Mode) on each page load. Also me: So accustomed to deferring JS initialisation in projects that I never thought that I could... just not do that. 🤦

The dark mode version of my website is (IMO) so much nicer than the light mode version, but I wanna have both around still so folks can use which they prefer for reading. Argh!

Does anyone make a mechanical keyboard with the exact same layout as a UK Apple keyboard? It’s kinda annoying having all these sweet shortcuts and macros set up as I do but then having to change what physical keys I’m pressing depending on which keyboard I’m currently using.

I robot.

Should start actively referring to myself as a synth. Synth is a cool word.

Spent a great deal of today writing my own Mastodon client that works how I want it to, which I can do because Mastodon’s API policies aren’t awful.
