I wish more people understood that autism is a dynamic disability:
- Just because we can do something one day doesn’t mean we can the next
- Our abilities change with context, environment, stress levels and support
- Co-occurring conditions also affect our autism and functioning

They have 4 MPs. We are four years away from a GE. Yet our broadcast media is talking like they’re a government in waiting? This over platforming must end and end now! We have other parties and they must be heard. Sign here now. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

A dark blue background features a vertical yellow and blue strip on the left side, representing the Ukrainian flag. To the left of the Ukrainian flag is a vertical strip with five yellow stars, representing the European Union flag. The words "YOUR FREEDOM IS OUR FREEDOM" are written in bold, white uppercase letters on the right side of the image.
Today is Ukraine’s Independence Day.
We celebrate a nation and its people who are bravely resisting Russia’s war of aggression.
For their freedom. Their peaceful future.
We stand by them for as long as it takes for a just and lasting peace.
With Ukraine, unwaveringly.
1. New policy.json file with options for disabling community plugins, themes, Sync, Publish 2. Command line options for --policy-file "path/to/policy.json" 3. Command line options for --policy-json "{json contents}" 4. Environment variable for OBSIDIAN_POLICY_FILE and OBSIDIAN_POLICY_JSON same as the command line options
We're considering ways that IT departments can more confidently deploy Obsidian to employees and students. What do you think about this approach?
Vibe Coding on t3.chat like it's 2025 😆 I love it! 😍
Building an agentic group discussion, where a group of agents with different characteristics can discuss a topic and ask questions to each other or to the group, with the text being read out using piper-tts. Fascinating results!
When I think of an Internet domain name that I should buy, it's such a relief when it's already been taken.

I'm often asked: 'How do you do so many things?' - newsletter, podcast, speaking, illustrations, full-time job + 3 kids under 5. So I wrote down exactly how I do it! (spoiler: it's not that complicated).
What side projects are you working on?

Many ADHD/AuDHD folks have been raised to be attuned to other people's feelings instead of our own. While that gives us a strong sense of others’ needs, it often blinds us to what we truly need ourselves.
And yeah, I think that the DOGE folks at agencies kind of had unilateral decision making authority in a way that's kind of scary because they both had the we should come into government and do common sense things mindset without realizing that the most common sense things are actually the hardest to accomplish for very specific reasons.
Coding interviews from people who left government earlier this year, and this is a fantastic quote in response to a question about what DOGE tech folk don't understand.

Great article about how AI can help our neurodivergent community. Annoyed that those who don’t have lived experience think their opinions matter: “Experts warn against over-reliance, fearing AI may hinder critical-thinking and self-reliance.” We don’t need to be infantilized.
this is such a perfect illustration of the fundamental disconnect between what LLMs are and how they are sold and how people interact with them
it’s not a person, it does not “know” things, it does not remember and learn from things the way a person does
it is predicting what someone might say
I haven’t done this but I think it’s worth considering even for US citizens, especially for services with more sensitive data.
I've just migrated my #Bluesky account over to my own Azure-hosted PDS (Personal Data Server)... here's how I did it! 🌐💬

I've setup my own ATproto PDS to (hopefully) avoid the Bluesky checks coming in. I just don't want to give a random company that I don't have a choice of dealing with some personal information for pointless reasons.
Yeah, that is a good feature!
Migration of accounts between PDSes seem to be risky at the moment, so re-follow and delete seems the safer option.
I wonder whether making PDSs even easier and better for self-hosting or community-hosting would have a negative effect on Bluesky as a company. E.g. in terms of funding and investment.
Whilst troubleshooting, I noticed outgoing connections going to Bluesky from the server. I came across this Github issue 😔 It's probably not high priority.

I'm going to delete my Bluesky based account, the requirement to verify my age in the UK was the deciding factor.
It's a relatively simple setup for one user. Just needs a VPS hosted somewhere with IPv4 networking and some DNS entries. The only thing that has tripped me up (so far) is the IPv4 requirement, as I was running an IPv6 only server.

I'm attempting to manage my own ATproto Personal Data Server (PDS), migrating my account @learnaddict.academy on Bluesky's PDS.
