As my computer use continues to evolve, it's less and less likely I'll be posting meaningful things here. :(
The current alternative is that I'll be sending out an email broadcast - once public, once for paid subscribers, talking about the various sorta stuff I talk about.
For now, I'll be using Substack, a proprietary service, since they provide the necessarily payment processing without unreasonable overhead.

Since y'all have gotten access to all my rambling without any sort of gate so far, anyone who wants a paid subscription, just DM me your email and I'll hook you up.

On Decolonizing My Web Use

I'm not sure which bit to excerpt that'll get people to read the whole thing, but listen: a lot of y'all are engaged in the business of "fixing" the Web, or the Internet, or computers.
And for a variety of reasons, there's not many Indigenous contributions to those conversations, outside of Indigenous communities.
So here's my contribution. Please make use of it the way you might any other useful piece of software.
Just grabbed a book on #C# and I think I'm actually going to read through it all the way through this time. Not sure whether to start with the one from Mark J. Price, first, or the one that has fundamentals of C# 9.0. I think they both do.

I can't wait till the dispensaries around here either make their online menus accessible with screen readers, or they allow online/walk-ins again, because I can't be relying on the same person all the time for my cannabis refills. Note that I think of cannabis more like alcohol than like medication. I'm a totally recreational user, and not afraid to admit it.
Just realized how much I love the Day One journalling app, though one, wish it had a Windows equivalent, (though I can get around that by using my Arteck bluetooth keyboard while writing long passages), and I wish it had £micropub support. Some of my entries are private, but definitely not all. I would like to selectively publish them to my web site.
