Is nyan cat involved somehow? Or is that an unrelated project?

(Does this instance not have a nyan emojo? CAT ZWJ BREAD ZWJ RAINBOW)

Okay, I need someone to Explain The Joke: Why is Hatsune Miku the new name behind GNU?

(You don't need to explain why the previous person in that role has to go, I'm caught up on that part.)

The bit I was missing from all the Firefox DNS-over-HTTPS and Firefox Private Network discourse is that Cloudflare had their IPO today.

In this "armed robber" meme format, is the robber saying something that happens to be the exact thing that provokes a response from you? Or are they *trying* to get you to give up your location?

The first seems improbable and I'm unclear why they would do the second.

Oh, that #nbpy hashtag was referring to North Bay Python, not enby python. 🐍 ​

Something powerful is happening this week; Nathalie Lawhead came forward and told how a man influential in the game development industry used that influence to prey on them as a vulnerable newcomer.

Nathalie's act of courage found support, and that seems to have opened the floodgates for some people. Numerous others have spoken out against their abusers.

As Zoë put it, "Nathalie threw a brick."

I'm linking to the Kotaku article here because an article is an easy thing to link to, but the stories are reverberating all around gamedev birdsite.

I'm cautiously optimistic about this new medication?

I say, with a questioning intonation, because conditions change from day to day, so it's early to say whether it'll hold up.

But so far it shows promise for having noticeably more spoons.

Between spending the first half of this year under a rock, and also having no OS Bridge or Community Leadership Summit in town this year, I'm kinda missing you nerds.

I thought it would be easier to find something with sequins to wear.

I know there are an overwhelming number of these asks, but since this is the .cat instance, I thought of bringing this here.

This sweet boy, Monstro, is six years old and undergoing urgent surgery. His prognosis is good, but it's a big medical expense.

Just thinking about how the archetypal "Hi Hungry, I'm Dad!" joke doesn't exist in Spanish, because it doesn't use the same "to be" verb for those different sorts of things.

Chain of thought:

• nighttime noisy neighbors and daytime loud engine yard equipment are bad.
• I should live on the Moon, like Spaceboy.
• I wonder what Internet latency from the Moon is like.
• round-trip distance is around 2,500 ms 🙁
• how are we going to do fully automated luxury gay space communism with ping times like these?

My discovery of the summer is that just because I keep bread in the freezer, it doesn't mean I *have* to toast or even thaw it before eating.

If I don't want to heat the kitchen, I can put things on bread and eat them cold!
