       Hi.I am weird. And verbose. But while some people refer to this 'annoying’, I have mostly made my peace with it.I am a Grand Purveyor of Memes, and Writer of Long Threads. This introduction will in fact be both, because I am many things, and cannot be contained in the space of a single toot.1/ 🧵#Introduction#ActuallyAutistic

       “The number of cats and kittens being abandoned in the UK has soared by more than 30% this year, according to a leading animal rescue charity, which described the situation as a ‘deepening crisis’.Last year Cats Protection helped a total of 184,000 cats, which equates to about 500 a day. However, the charity has launched an urgent appeal for donations as staff struggle with a 34% increase in abandonment cases in the first seven months of 2024.”Support your local animal rescue and shelter organisations whenever you can, folks 😿Adopt, don't shop!https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/oct/23/number-of-abandoned-cats-soars-by-more-than-30-in-uk#DontPayTheGuardian#AdoptDontShop

       Hey, cis folks? And especially men? If you want some low effort trans ally actions you can take, put your pronouns everywhere.Like, everywhere.On here, in your profile. On your other social media. On your own website. On your GitHub profile. On your resume. In your email ‘From:' header. Your email signature. Your business cards, if you have those.Basically everywhere you introduce yourself, in other words. Make it pervasive, normal, set an example.Then take your privilege, wield it like both sword and shield, arguing for gender neutral language everywhere you can. Legal documents, the works.Let us see you fight for it ✊🏻

       I am seeing way too many of you boost memes and other images that do not have any image description, let alone any kind of description that is actually accessible 😒#AltText #NoAltNoBoost

       Have you checked your domains for HSTS preload, lately? There's still way too many domains out there that can be dropped down to plain HTTP 😒ENCRYPT ALL THE THINGS, FOLKS.I don't care if it's just your blog, or if you never accept user input; make HTTPS the default across the board, and except for a few basic redirects, stop serving requests over HTTP.If your site breaks if you block port 80, you've got work to do, especially considering the current environment we find ourselves in.Yes, I have heard all of your excuses. No, none of them hold water any longer.Get your shit sorted.

       Every now and then I think of that statistic that says that a vast majority with people with breasts wear bras that are not a good fit, which plays a signifcant role in overall comfort.I’ll look up the actual source for that later, but for right now, I am curious; if you are a person with breasts, have you ever been for a proper bra fitting?Boosts welcome.

       What do people use as issue trackers, these days? I am looking for open source options that can be self-hosted, and I already know about RT.What else is there?Some requirements;1) First class support for email, without turning tickets into HTML-based notifications with 'View Request' nonsense, and so forth. Plain text must be an option, preferably the default.2) No 'AI' nonsense. No ChatGPT integration, no cloud dependencies, nothing. This is for humans supporting humans who know how to use search, or can be taught, not a bullshit chatbot.3) Linux-hosted, web-based, no Windows dependencies.Boosts welcome 🙏🏻
