Sod it, I'm breaking embargo. The good news is too important to wait.
One aspect that I like of the programming language I use daily is its robustness, it'd be hard for it to become unrecoverable.
The language itself relies on a runtime that can be emulated in about 150 lines in most languages(including its own language), and a 2300 bytes self-hosted assembler. There is a bootstrapping toolchain that allows me to recover an assembler from a hex dump on an operating system without cat, or ×d, or even with an implementation of the runtime without a file system.
I've added a few notes on how it all works:

Boosts are much appreciated.
They've been working very hard on this album, but I don't personally have a lot of connections to metalheads, so I'm hoping others on the fediverse do.
Lovely writing peeps - how do you sell your digital books online? Gumroad? Something else? Pros & cons of the different services?
I have a friend who has been hand-selling his printed books, but now is considering selling digital copies & neither of us know where to begin. 😳
Also, is there any legal stuff we should be aware of? (He's in the UK & publishing himself.)
Boosts welcome - then everyone gets to learn! 😊
Thank you! 🙏
Whether you want to be a better ally, think you might be trans, or just don’t understand what this whole transgender thing is about, I highly recommend reading https://genderdysphoria.fyi/
It talks about what gender itself is, what gender incongruence feels like, the science behind how sex determination and sexual dimorphism works in humans, the diagnostic process for trans folks, and what HRT actually does and what is involved in transitioning. It’s a good read

People are running role-playing games on the tumblr communities and somehow it works really well. Communities are popping off.
I'm fascinated by the ways that social media "features" almost never get used as intended. Tumblr tried to have this thing called "tumblr live" a few years back and everyone hated it. Communities have been better received.
I wish we had something like "communities" here on mastodon. Imagine if monsterdon could be a little more ... contained.
I made a python script to do this, but I didn't know how to integrate it so it was on my phone and computer ... and what I really want is for *everyone* to have this kind of "check on everyone" reminder on their dash. So, I don't need anyone to tell me a way to do this. I know how to do it. I'm saying it should be a feature of the main software, not just asking for myself.
(The perils of posting on a site with so many programmers means giving this kind of disclaimer. Ya'll are so helpful.)
*please* do not ping me for random support
