Hi! I’m Katherine, or webkitten. I’ve been on the internet since our family got our first computer - a Tandy Sensation.
Yes, I went to computer camp as a kid and learned how to program BASIC on Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 4.
I’m trans, queer, and bisexual. #actuallyautistic
I started programming with PHP in the mid 90s and haven’t stopped. I’m an advocate for the open web; I used Netscape as long as I can remember.
I have an obsession with Hello Kitty, Moogles, and Squishmallows.

Technology@lemmy.world•TikTok Deal Done And It’s Somehow The Shittiest Possible Outcome, Making Everything WorseEnglish
6·3 days agoTiktok US deal; this is just for the US users. Tiktok global doesn’t change.
Essentially the US just siloed all the US users together and cut them off from the rest of the world and they’re about to find out just how little of the US were on Tiktok.

Television@piefed.social•[There Can Be Only One] What's your single favourite TV show?English
4·4 days agoI’d say probably The Adventures of Tintin just because it has the nostalgia value of not just being a show from my childhood but also memories of watching it every Sunday morning at my dad’s house (he had HBO so it was rare to see it).
Yeah, I misread the credits thinking it was a year. But the picture is still great. :)

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was it like the first time you had to call 911?English
6·4 days agoI got a really bad stomach infection and was going to wait until my mum got there the next day but I hadn’t been eating or keeping anything down and didn’t think I could drive since I could only stay up for very short times so I ended up calling 911 to go to the hospital and I couldn’t stop apologizing to the dispatcher.
I felt bad cause I felt like I was wasting their time but they got me there and I got to ride in an ambulance.


I’m definitely not brave enough to upgrade to a beta yet but I can’t wait until it’s released; hoping an upgrade from 22.2 goes smoothly!
