the kind of girl who knows about Unicode casefolding

i do love how it is like, a romance song

for an anime about Ash and Goh

“We’ll do everything together: Learning, training, never stopping! (Go! Go!)

Anywhere you’re going, so am I! Take me on a journey to your heaarrrrtt…”

release an extended version you cowards

i have the theme song for Pokémon Master Journeys stuck in my head, which is a problem because it’s only 30 seconds

i submitted an issue to mastodon to deal with this although i’m not optimistic about it actually getting fixed

oh, apparently homebrew sets up the initial database cluster that way, thanks homebrew 🙄

okay so my local development environment is setting up databases with a locale of `C` despite my environment clearly specifying a `LOCALE` of `en_US.UTF-8` and why the fuck

lemme just check the database configuration for mastodon……

mastodon *says* you should post to Discourse for support instead of Github, but as best as i can tell no mastodon developers actually check the Discourse
