A few years ago I made this flow chart of which Mastodon posts end up in which timelines!

So, you can see how each instance will have a different local timeline, and even a slightly different federated timeline - and you can see why the federated timeline moves so much faster than the local one, too.

This is why it's important to boost good posts and use hashtags - the fediverse is fragmented and harder to search by nature.

<spiders> Cargo.toml used to have an `authors` field?
<iliana> yep
<spiders> did they get rid of it because of trans people
<iliana> yep

hey hi hello. my name is iliana and i am allegedly back on fedi. you may remember me from past accounts such as "iliana" and "iliana".

i'm a trans, non-binary woman (xie/xer pronouns) in seattle, reluctantly working in tech. currently i'm a systems engineer at oxide computer company.

i am an advocate for motion accessibility, because i don't like getting motion sickness from using the internet.

i made emojos.in and @new, which are somehow still working despite me having touched neither in over a year. i also operate AS64241 Wobscale for fun and un-profit.

outside of work i am currently focused on writing the many blog post drafts i have stuck in my head, which may eventually find their way to iliana.fyi. my account is more of a stream of consciousness.

Please help me get stable while I am in a bit of a financial bind

"As I work to complete my program, I realize I cannot work any kind of “regular” job. Since I am trained as and enjoy working as a photographer, I intend to freelance to sustain myself as I study. These last couple of months have been particularly difficult as I’ve tried to maintain."

therapist: the Unsafe Rust mascot isn't real, it can't hurt you

Unsafe Rust mascot:

RT @MontereyAq@twitter.com

Porcupine crabs and their king crab kin are related to hermit crabs and lack one pair of walking legs compared to “true crabs”, while their bodily asymmetry tells of a different ancestral tale than other carcinized crustaceans.

horrible linux pun 

Sure, you can put Arch's and Fedora's package managers side by side and argue back and forth about which one is better. I just don't think that's an apt comparison

I made a high res screenshot of my quarterfinal round with anti-aliasing

"If I had a million dollars, we wouldn't have to eat Kraft Dinner--"

"But we would eat Kraft Dinner."

"Of course we would, we'd just eat more."
