Dang what I gotta do to get an account on the EU Mastodon instance?
social.network.europa.eu

One of my first acts as a developer on the UK government's web team is to abolish Internet Explorer from the UK government's web presence.

Public proposal is here: github.com/alphagov/govuk-fron

Helo do you have bones?

Also I noticed that a bunch of my usernames, stretching back to the early 2000s, have referenced robots or machinery. How on earth did I only _just_ make a robot my fursona?!

Years and years ago I had a logo in the form of a bat head silhouette with a gear in it.

It didn't get used much and generally got displaced by other symbols later on, especially when I rebranded my personal site to "Grey's Adventures" and changed it to a rocket ship.

Anyway, I brought it back.

Done some personal website updates for ~reasons~. RSS feed works now, and there's a page with links to places on it: berly.kim/contact

#FediTips

To all new folks comin' here:

You'll get more out of Mastodon by using unofficial mobile apps such as Tusky (Android) and Metatext (iOS) than through the official app.

You get a two more timelines to view: a Local timeline, and a Federated timeline.

The Local timeline consists of all public posts made by other people on the same instance/server you're on, while the Federated timeline consists of public posts including people outside of your instance.

You can the unofficial apps here: joinmastodon.org/apps

I did a bio update but I don't think I ever actually tooted— I work for the government now.

Pros: Good pay, good benefits, actually really great people who are good at their jobs.

Cons: Lots of paperwork, not allowed to continually rant about politics anymore.

So @scanlime@twitter.com reverse engineered the horrible TikTok voice and well

Earlier today I said "I command no mandate over the exploits of the heart" in a conversation and I would be remiss to not mention that must be one of the most Shakespeare-level eloquent-as-fuck things I've ever said.

L'il bio update. Also I wrote a (normie-oriented) explanation for why there's a robot bat on the internet. berly.kim/blog/2022-04-10-a-ro

bats!! bats!! bats!! bats!! bats!! bats!! bats!! bats!! bats!! bats!! bats!! bats!! bats!! bats!! bats!! bats!! bats!! bats!! bats!! bats!!

Ladies and gentlemen.
- Old fashioned.
- Overly formal.
- Not inclusive of other genders.

Jadies (jean ladies) and jentlemen (jean gentlemen).
- Same, but jeans.

Lost my voice so I pipe the macOS `say` command to my audio input and TTS all my phone calls.

The Linkin Park forums were full of murine furries. The place was CRAWLING IN MICE KIN

I made a Discord server for furries who enjoy Star Trek, because that seemed to be a niche with no real dedicated community for it for some reason. Would be nice to see your faces!
