The perfect website doesn't exi- owlsintowels.org

Every woman that I know in tech has similar stories. I do, my partner does, my friends, and so on. Anecdotally, that it's so pervasive is often cited as a main reason for leaving the industry

Thanks everyone who came to the community call today! 🎃✨ For anyone that missed it, here's the recording www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rpf...

A month after my switch from 1Password to Bitwarden, I wrote a little bit about my experience. The short version: it's fairly effortless and apart from some UX nits, it just works. jola.dev/posts/migrat...

On vacation, so taking time to migrate off of several Omarchy-aligned products. Still shocked at the cash support for Omarchy — it's aesthetic is low-tier-to-mid at best, despite that being maybe its main selling point? AFAICT the ONLY reason to support is if you want to signal alignment with DHH 🤷‍♀️

"Are you selling me a solution or a dependency?" is a question I think more people should ask.

Today we bring you the second @localfirstconf.com Lab Day video. Follow Ivy Reese @spiralganglion.com as she whirls through PlayBook: A Programmable Paper Notebook It's a blank page in the truest sense, for pulling ideas out of your head so you can feel and think differently about them.

✨📣 Excited to be keynoting @codebeam.bsky.social in October! 🇳🇱 I'll be taking about local-first software, user agency, and the BEAM ecosystem

guess i can add @digitalocean.com to the list of businesses to which i'll no longer be giving money

🌈 I've now been out of the closet for ✨20 years✨ (Caveat: it's not really possible to pin down an exact date and you could argue that I was out long before, but the day that I decided to actually live life fully authentically was 20 years ago on Labour Day)

Huh, I wasn't expecting Bring It On (2000 cheerleading film) to have aged as well as it has! Not "perfect" but feels way more progressive than other films from that era (which mostly have a lot of regressive dialogue and themes 2026 standards)

I must either be good job of hiding my personal info & ad algorithms are making random guesses, or I'm doing a really bad job & they know something about me that I don't. Last month every site thought I wanted a Ford F-150. This month it thinks I'm in the market for a dirndl (maybe Octoberfest? 🍻)

Okay well apparently I'm on the switching services treadmill as I discover who's still supporting bad actors 😫 Nerds of Bluesky: if I want to get off of Proton but still have E2EE email from a non-USA company, what are my options?

I guess we've made it to disk 3

RIP to a legend

OF COURSE ThePrimeagen is involved in this shit of course. crybaby white male victim of woke 2 number one is on the line-up for DHH's crusade of fucking course. "mask off" is good though, makes it easier to warn about.

Oh hey, that's me! ✨ I'm excited to keynote @codebeam.bsky.social in Haarlem in October this year 🇳🇱🎉 I'll be talking about local-first software, a paradigm that hands power back to users — in an era of otherwise ever increasing control and disempowerment

Genius rant

haven't felt this energized in a while 🔋 We're building a proof-of-concept E2EE library & demo on AT Protocol, using BeeKEM for DCGKA. There's a long road between a PoC and a foundation we can all depend on, but every journey has a first step🐾 bsky.app/profile/bosc... bsky.app/profile/expe...

The Local-First Conf 2026 talks are up! I always get hallway tracked real hard at this event so I'm really excited to catch all the talks I missed... www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Toooooootally normal. Certainly no such thing as climate change, this much fire every year is completely natural, right? 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

we've set a date in September choosing a spot that is metro accessible and central w/ relationship with hosts. Love to see people there! If you had not reached out to me, go ahead and join directly via Lumo! #localfirst #localfirstdc @bmann.ca @inkandswitch.com @adamwiggins.com @pvh.ca

🆕 We're trying something new: here's the first ever This Month in Automerge 🗞️✨ Check out what's been happening in the core libraries, and a few projects in the ecosystem! automerge.org/blog/2026-ju...

My talk at @localfirstconf.com is up, in which I argue that local-first has a role to play in improving the resilience of democratic societies in an era of geopolitical tensions. I'm pretty happy with how this talk turned out www.youtube.com/watch?v=--Ru...
