I hate waking up in the morning. I'm sure I'm not the only one. There is this lingering sleepiness and brain fog when you wake up. That's apparently called Sleep Inertia, and there are a bunch of possible reasons why one experiences it. 🧪

To have age verification is to accept platforms cannot change. It's not forcing accountability at all. It's accepting they have the power to continue to do nothing about the harms that exist on their services, that children will inevitably encounter when they turn 17.

I do not work in an IT position in the slightest.
Yet the amount of rolling around on the floor I do at work messing with wires and cords due to people not knowing how their computers work is beyond me 😵💫
My outfit is wrinkled and ruined and it turns out their laptop just wasn't charged 😭

It appears Bluesky is preparing to double the file size for uploading videos (from 50 MB to 100 MB). I recently released an update to ATProtoKit to reflect this change. It will also check if the video file exceeds the new size and throw an error if it does.

auto play is also annoying as fuck.
Vestibular disorders affect people's balance as well as their visual perception of their world around them. Don't make animations, sliders, videos, or rapid movement start automatically, as autoplaying elements could trigger a bad reaction in people who have vestibular disorders.
