| i've been playing around with 'smallnet' protocols recently, so i decided to set up a capsule for the gemini protocol. the markup language it uses tastes like markdown, and given how absolutely stripped down it is, pages for it load really fast. only downside i've found (that doesn't make it more appealing) is it's name. google took the name for their slopbot and it's making it hard to find resources for it outside of the protocol space itself.
anyway, gemini://theglasspenguin.capsule.town |

| does anybody outside the *nix sphere use package managers for their general-use software (stuff like choco/scoop/winget on windows or brew on mac, excluding project dependencies) |

| the ios 27 beta is causing my test subject iphone to heat up faster than it usually does - only other time it's reached the temperatures it's at is when i accidentally left it in direct sunlight for 2 hours. i'm guessing this has something to do with the search indexer - it's been stuck at 38% for the whole week post-install |

| i regret to inform you that they haven't gotten rid of the dead space that was so important it involved shrinking the clock
they had it right before ios 26 and yeah it's pointless but what else am i going to be angry at? politics? |

| if i try and download a piece of software and the only option on the download page is an "paste this curl+bash fuckery into your terminal and enter your sudo password" then that software is automatically ass. just give me a tarball or a package repo, i am perfectly capable of administering my own machine |

| every year, someone really close to where i live attempts a shitty rendition of the national anthem on their electric guitar before starting an 'unauthorized' firework show. the police usually show up pretty quick. this time, i counted about 4 explosions before they were forced to stop. |

| every implementation of age verification i've seen either requires you to trust a provider with really personal information or your biometrics, and that alone freaks me out
this whole push for age verification is also going to potentially break smaller platforms and federated networks, and i don't doubt there's some involved in these pushes interested in centralizing internet activity onto big platforms that are easier to manipulate. making pseudonymous users hand over PII and connecting a real person to a thing that's only supposed to exist online is a problem for people who just like having their actions disconnected from themselves, whistleblowers or people that could be in actual danger if their identities were known. i could list more but character limits are beating my ass, apologies for all the rewrites lmao |
