Moving to a new instance is a sly excuse to write an #introduction post (I never did one before).
I'm Drew, pleased to meet you. I'm male, middle aged, child-free, a Brit but don't feel like one, living in 🇵🇭 for the last few years. I'm #neurodivergent with quite severe #CPTSD. You can ask me about it, I'm trying to get better at discussing it. I'm married, I work in #tech and I love animals and nature.
I post about (takes deep breath): #DogsOfMastodon #WebDev #Linux #Fedora #RaspberryPi #Apple #NoAI #FuckAI #BanAI #Enshittification #Autism #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #ADHD #ChildhoodTrauma #MentalHealth #Stroke #PTSD #ModelRailway #NGauge #Philippines #SilentSunday #Bookstodon #Music
Edit: Almost forgot! I have a single-page personal profile website at https://drewtowler.me which expands on all this.
Edit: Other things I like but probably won't post about: #OldMaps #AnimeArt #StudioGhibli

Looking for a new instance since it seems mas.to can't handle my humour. Need: simple/minimal rules that don't pander to the humourless, long character limit. All sugggestions considered.

#Tech post... just found this:
Like #airdrop, but for all major OSes.
So for transferring notes and pieces of text, I have #AnyType, and for transferring files, I have #LocalSend. Nice and easy. I just used it to transfer 6 new photos (25Mb) from my iPhone to my Mac in a couple of seconds.
And they haz a tooter: @localsend

Turns out that on #Mineclonia, you can use spawnstruct to spawn a village, but not a mineshaft.
On #Voxelibre, you can use spawnstruct to spawn a mineshaft, but not a village.
This seems unnecessarily machiavellian.

My daily #RSS feed catchup today brought this to my attention: a list of software that explicitly refuses to incorporate #AI in any way:

I see a lot of posts today referencing parents and contact and visits etc... I assume it's #MothersDay or something.
I feel there's a lot I could say and comment, but at the same time I can't, because I'm not yet at the stage where I can talk rationally about my parents and their dark shadow over almost my entire life.
There's too much still to unpick and unravel and it may be years before I can talk about them without sliding into a 3 hour monologue that ends in tears.

@d1 @autistics
I also love #Luanti though I mainly play #Mineclonia rather than #Voxelibre. And finding mine tracks is always the highlight of every game session. Because trains. -
If you mix up #neurodivergent and #neurospicy you get #neurodicey, which is how I often feel after eating too much dairy.

Never underestimate a developer's need to put their own little stamp on things and to make themselves smile.
I create and use a lot of shell scripts in my work. I start each script with:
echo Reticulating splines...
and end it with:
echo Your hovercraft is full of eels.
Most of these scripts will only ever be used by me, but I still do it.

Just finished reading this and it somehow completely charmed me. It's a mix of #CozyCrime and #ComingOfAge, from the POV of a 12-year old girl living in a small West Yorkshire town at the end of the 1970s when the Yorkshire Ripper was being hunted.
As a #Sheffield lad born the same year as the heroine, the use of #Yorkshire dialect and mannerisms and the authentic world-building brought back vivid childhood memories. A bittersweet story with much sadness but also courage and grit.

1. Heading up to our farm workers' bunkhouse as soon as we wake up, to have a catch-up while the dogs roll in the grass and the chickens wander round us pecking in the dirt. #FarmLife
2. Running some trains on my little test layout while consistently failing to find the time to build my "proper" layout. #ModelRailway #NGauge #DCC #JMRI
3. A call from a former client #today may result in a #webdev project for a new client.
