I am writing software! And by writing software I mean:

1. Staring at mysteriously failing build.
2. Upgrading a GitHub Actions step's version.
3. Staring at mysteriously failing build, again.
4. Realizing I committed to the wrong branch, commit to the right branch.
5. Staring at mysteriously […]

Hard to figure out sometimes whether submissions were made using AI, but then sometimes they make it fairly easy.

my wife found this online somewhere recently, and I don't think I've agreed this hard with anything in a long time

Screenshot of a page of a book, first line is highlighted:

The real luxuries in life:

time
health
a quiet mind
slow mornings
ability to travel
rest without guilt
a good night’s sleep
calm and “boring” days
meaningful conversations
home-cooked meals
people you love
people who love you back

Apparently theres a new wave of people joining mastodon, and with them a new wave of self-appointed cops "welcoming" them with long lists of mostly fictitious "rules" they need to follow.

This is a social media platform, with many of different ways to use it. It's fine. Mostly, just try to be […]

So here's a tech nightmare nobody's talking about:

If I built a big robot that consumed 33% of my state's electricity so it could go around stealing people's art I would be arrested, and that's how you know law is a social construct.

Have there been any psychology papers written on unmasked medical clinic receptionists. It’s fascinating to me that after the globally shared experience of living through a pandemic there exist people who will sit for 8 hours unmasked in an enclosed poorly ventilated space full of unmasked sick […]

Today I saw someone toot, in dismay, people are posting their everyday life to Mastodon when they could simply buy a diary for $1.99. I can't stop thinking about this.
What if this is all they have? What if they're isolated with or without people in their life? What if the only kind word they […]
