I was like haha local IT girl does the back say “did you turn it off then on again?”
I love that #ParksAndRec still stands up
The #GoodOmens trailer makes me so sad it’s movie-length & not a season. It looks so emotional 😭🐍🪽
#Rivals S2 looks like a show I’d honestly never watch but gonna watch for #DavidTennant brilliant villainy acting
#DearDiary I was shopping around today at an outdoor mall bc it's BEAUTIFUL OUT, and at Anthropologie I heard a woman who looked super chill & cool explaining LibreOffice to a very tall guy, and I loved she used the word "interoperable" bc I've been on the struggle bus with that word before. Anyway I wanted to join their conversation but I didn't, because a) weird and b) I would've been like "I love FOSS but LibreOffice sucks" & I don't want to yuck anyone's #FOSS yums
#GoodOmens S3 tv movie event - releases tonight, 2am on Wednesday for me. Maybe, um, if I took a nap right when I got home... 🤔
I don't even remember the last time I stayed up til like 4am though 😂
My collection of music largely stopped around 2014ish because streaming kinda took over.
I'm back to casually listening to it right now through #wacup software on my computer though. Here to tell you #Matchbox20 still slaps
Buenos días desde la casa del monstruo de la biblioteca. Tienes el perro en casa? Yo tengoooo!
New blog post is out! I talk about my recent trip to #NYC <3 https://librarymonster.dreamwidth.org/1684.html
The irony of signing into change.org with my #Google account to join the petition to #KeepAndroidOpen https://c.org/g466SqZsVV
Okay! I am now officially on #Dreamwidth ! #IndieWeb #Blogging
Here's my #IntroPost : https://librarymonster.dreamwidth.org/1372.html
if you're on DW pls come visit me/follow me/friend me/whatever you do! <333
I'm watching #TheRunningMan and this guy lol how is Glen Powell supposed to be the angriest guy he looks like a quokka
Yesterday was SO exciting! I actually did #github stuff for the 1st time ever: learned what 'forking' was and what 'commits' are!
Using https://github.com/abuseofnotation/feed-aggregator I merged my #RSS feeds (so far I've got #Dreamwidth #Masto #Raindrop & put them into my #Neocities. The crowd in my head is going WILD right now!
I used #Perplexity to help me along. Wondering if, in an ironic twist, ppl will use #AI for #IndieWeb endeavors like this rejecting #BigTech...
I had too much coffee this evening & now I'm posting a ton but look at this thing abt #Notion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47824945
In the comments it's mentioned Notion has this flaw in its documentation as though it's 'by design.' ☹️
I have a public notion page attached to my pseud's gmail address, so it's all fine, but ach, one more reason to try to get away from Notion... (working with #Capacities rn)
Anyone else at #IUG2026 ??? I loved the #Polaris roadmap presentation. There were so many woots & rounds of applause over feature updates. Nerds 😂 I felt right at home hahah
@batts.bsky.social thank you for being my buddy. I was so exhausted & out of it all day 🫠
The repeated refrain that #AI is inaccurate & hallucinates & is therefore useless totally ignores how 1) it's getting more and more accurate and 2) even if it weren't, most questions we have while navigating life really aren't seeking the purest most scholarly-researched facts.
Maybe I'd be more intense about it if I were an academic librarian, but even the databases UIUC offers are implementing AI...
I’m working on tagging my collection of resources on https://raindrop.io/librarymonster/lm-io-collection-69723429 & I’ve wandered into an access/labeling quandary! Help! #librarians 🙌
At what point does something go from a “website” to a “web app”?
Obvs a static site like eff.org is the former & a radio.garden is the latter, but what about my favorite little utility sites like https://myminifactory.github.io/Fast-Quadric-Mesh-Simplification/ or https://send.djazz.se/ or https://removelinebreaks.net/ or even bookmarklets in the case of ANDI? https://www.ssa.gov/accessibility/andi/help/install.html
