Roxie rambles 🏳️‍🌈 @roxie@queerdorks.club

Hey friends, I'm officially actually going to try to give fedi microblogging a real go again! Maybe this time without running my own instance and leaving it up to others. Does anyone have any good instance recommendations?

I know I'll have to do a migration on a new instance to keep my followers but I might cull the follows a bit and readjust to how I am now as a person. Probably looking for a nice techy lgbt space that doesnt mind an extra anarchist hacker lesbian dog girl. I also sim race, and helping run a trans team in that space also occupies a lot of my time. So somewhere friendly to motorsports and fake computer motorsports?

Considering if its still worth it to run an instance myself or move to someone elses? Idk if theres anywhere nice for me or if this instance still works properly. Its really do I make a new one or just bite the bullet and find a new one and just pay less in donations than i would maintaining this one.

@cadey I also remember now ive thought about it Mara and getting taught stuff via your blog before I'm so dumb

@cadey yeah that fucker who seems to run an amazing blog that makes me jealous just looking at it 😝 seriously this is fab. Gives me some inspiration of the stuff I need to be doing too. I wanna be a queer gal writing about linux and software just to show this hyperfocus/career is somehow worth it and share that knowledge. I'll be sure to read some of these. Especially the moonlander review as another moonlander user

How hard is it to find a non chud-y programming content creator? While I found a guy who at least has nice industry experience he also has hints of being a stupid chud idiot and like I just wanna find someone I can learn off in an entertaining way. The only other person ive seen like that is like a trans woman who just makes gaming shaders so not my realm sadly.

I just broke down crying looking at a guide to help autistic children deal with plane travel and like idk it hit me how much that its exactly geared to how I think and need things and something I never had help with.

Roxie birthday today

Anyone come up with a Xenia plush yet? Like ive seen a few group buy plushies lately and I feel this is a gold mine waiting to happen. Trans people + Linux + plushies + furries. The ultimate combo.

I had another one planned for when I finally get to try pop-shell. As a gal whos tried to use i3 and sway so many times, they just fucking become a pain after a while. I'm hoping gnome plus tiling sits well. If not I will just go back to i3 ofc after this stint on KDE. Before I get bored of that and go back to KDE. My relationship with window managers has been hard

If anyone was interested ofc I'd love that. I just am trying not to centre that as my reason and get disheartened when the inevitable happens

Mostly dumb stuff like how I'm working on turning a companies awful infra into not a mess over time, why I love open source but slowly more and more closed source apps invade my life, and just whatever dumb hobby stuff I get up to. Also just general stuff that interests me. I'll probably post them here but I'm not too bothered if anyone reads them. They are just for me to get it out there. Vent at the world because tech sucks. Gives me something to focus on and process the day.

I'm genuinely thinking about getting a blog sorted. I used to want to write more for the sake of it. Now I have dangerous levels of salt and the need to let people know the random things I think. A month of being a senior dev can do that to a gal lol.

eepy

gotta make use of that computerwit.ch domain somehow

plus a new instance will bring on the full dog girl era roxie and full dev nerd roxie in one.

TWO kinds of string! both bad!!!
