Hi! I’m Katherine, or webkitten. I’ve been on the internet since our family got our first computer - a Tandy Sensation.
Yes, I went to computer camp as a kid and learned how to program BASIC on Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 4.
I’m trans, queer, and bisexual. #actuallyautistic
I started programming with PHP in the mid 90s and haven’t stopped. I’m an advocate for the open web; I used Netscape as long as I can remember.
I have an obsession with Hello Kitty, Moogles, and Squishmallows.
I finally moved my personal dev/blog server to Hetzner and today was the first time in a while that the AWS bill was smaller than what it normally was (I did get rid of everything - EC2, S3 - except for domain registrations since I didn’t want to renew ones that just got renewed yet). Obviously I was still just paying for half the month so next month should be even smaller.
Between Brave Little Toaster, the Punky Brewster Challenger scene, and the swamp scene in Neverending Story, it’s a wonder the way I am.
Well that’s not going to hold up in court.
I just wish they updated OSM data quicker; I’ve done updates that still aren’t represented.
Keep in mind, even IF something could be done by GUI, if you ask for help, 95% of the replies are immediately going to tell you to open CLI…
To be fair, you’d find that with Windows too; someone telling you to run some command in Powershell or the prompt (even Start > Run).
On Linux Mint, most updates and backups can be automated; installing ClamTK from Software Manager can be automated; the Software Manager, itself, is a GUI.
The terminal is helpful but required? Not really.
Doing a pure EU PDS is great; hopefully they do a Webview too, so that moderation and trust and safety aren’t at the behest of US Bsky.
If media companies make it impossible to buy and own content, then pirating is not unethical.
Debian; comes on Linux or on a tiny blue pill.
I think I was about 16 1/2? We did night time (?) Drivers Ed classes in my high school with my geography or history teacher (he was awesome) and then we had road experience with a local drivers ed instructor.
I remember when it came time to do the road test, he actually took us through the actual course first so we were prepared and then during the actual test I got “warned” about being a little too far into the road turning at an intersection to go back to the RMV but the instructor I had backed me up because I had to go due to the other person turning the other way so I could see around him.
Honestly, nothing wrong with not having a license. I hate driving, to be honest. If you can get places without cars (or at least without driving your own, more power!)
A reminder you can donate to AA though a multiple number of ways including a simple Amazon gift card and it takes less than 5 minutes.
