I am the emotional support animal for our black cat. Whenever he tries to sit on me, he'll first place a tentative paw on my lap, stop, and look directly in my eyes. This little mental exchange happens, every single time: [cat] : Do you consent to the TERMS and CONDITIONS of [cat]? I swear to god, I've had more significant interactions in 6 months of Mastodon than 6 years of Twitter. That is the absolute objective truth.

  @codinghorror that's so lovely to hear. Thank you for being such a big part of so many of us young coders inspirational journey/education by the way. I appreciate you.

@codinghorror Amazon etc. have started to become smarter by offering a "share" icon that strips all of that junk. I don't know why other platforms (like search engines) don't. Oh, and CMS platforms.

 @codinghorror  โThe un-oranged images were caused by one of the most basic features of digital cameras, their ability to infer what color is in an image based on the lighting conditions in which it is taken. Like the people looking up at it, the software never expected the sky to be bathed in orange.โ https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/09/camera-phone-wildfire-sky/616279/ Strange how, in 2001, we thought phones would get smaller and smaller and yet.. now it's nothing but phablets as far as the eye can see.

 Yes, yes! I want a 4" Android phone. I hate that I'm forced to carry a fucking mini-TV in my pocket just so I could fully function in our society. And touchscreen keyboards still suck. |

#ALT4you a black cat was photographed from above and is looking directly into the camera. Its eyeshape is round and relaxed, both eyes have a yellow iris with a black pupil. Left from the cats head is a yellow capital letter F superimposed and on the right side of the head the yellow capital letter D, can be read as FOOD if using both eyes as an O, so this cat seems to be quite hungry and is definitely very cute. ๐ป
