@repeattofade It's more randomly distributed than that but yea.

@repeattofade I think about one (that I didn't archive or save) about how we won't believe it could affect us until we see it in portrait mode on our couch or something like that

@repeattofade I don't know where I heard this, but I'll keep repeating it:

"Either we manage climate change, or climate change manages us."

@s0 found out about it the other week, you can install windows from it! (Making a bootable windows USB is a pain on linux)

@s0 bishbosh. tidy. bangin. thx.

@s0 already using this on my 256 GB bootstick :nkouwu: (no I don't have a problem, I promise)

(All things considered I'd prefer my job search to have panned out by now... 🙃 but even so... 🤷)

@simrob amazing, exactly when i needed it for my language!!

@simrob that’s rad!

btw here’s a sort of sketchzone (love the term) I made a while back https://slate-explorer.glitch.me/ and a post about it https://jaked.org/blog/2021-02-26-Slate-Explorer

@Julia I don't know if the AI investment bubble *will* burst soon, but I 100% believe it should. It is a powerful technology when applied to the right problems in the right ways, but imo those make up a vanishing fraction of the ways it's being used today.

(Side note: I've been ruling out so many job postings for use cases I don't trust are good applications of AI, y'all. So many things I know how to do but think shouldn't be done in the first place. It's painful.)

@Julia Those of you in the anti-AI league are on the losing side. Painters wept inconsolably for the loss of romanticism when photography was discovered, etc. etc. etc. (give thousands of examples here). And the funny thing is: eventually everything will fall into place. AI is here to stay. It is wonderful. You have to adapt or get screwed.

@Julia Well said. One thing AI may be useful for is finding out which memos and documents we don’t actually need, because AI can both write and read them. If we learn to stop wasting time on those, the effort will not have been wasted.

@andybaio I posted a blog in my blog so you can read the blog while you read my blog.

@andybaio Dutch people started calling messages ‘apps’ (because of WhatsApp), so everything goes I guess

@andybaio I am seeing no discussion about the use of "blog" as a verb so I assume that's okay. 🤓

*leaves to go do some blogging*

@ploum it's getting that way... According to one study some 50% of Internet traffic is bot activity. #deadinternet here we come! https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/dead-internet-web-bots-humans-b2530324.html

@ploum and all that faff and waste of energy to no point since I use an adblocker.

@ploum which supports my theory that the corporation is the dominant organism on this planet.
A bunch of people doing crazy stuff in the hopes of getting more money out of the corporation by making the corporation get more money out of other people.

@gerrymcgovern @mhoye Wondering if I could get away with that at a job. Just do something totally unexpected and with zero regard for anyone around me and if anyone starts to ask questions, just tell them that no one had been told previously because it was my trade secret.

@gerrymcgovern The fuck? I thought like 80% of the reason they built in an old aluminum plant was because it came with two turbines at The Dalles Dam next door and direct access to Columbia River water so they wouldn't have to use city water...

Also there's a Dallas, Oregon and the Marion County road department thinks it's funny to post The Dalles signs pointing in the opposite direction of Dallas signs, even though there's no reason to post The Dalles anywhere in the county...

@designthinkingcomic I spent a few hours at the woodshop in my local makers space yesterday.

I am still very tired and sore today.

@designthinkingcomic There was a "Behind the Ball" segment in one episode of Extreme Dodgeball featuring a pro athlete talking about the time between their former sport and their new one, and how they'd tried gardening. They said something to the effect of "There's just something about getting down in the dirt and working directly with Mother Nature... that I really didn't care for."

@designthinkingcomic And then you also get covered in poison ivy and in the end the rabbits eat your garden.

@harriorrihar truly a beautiful thinker, writer and human

@harriorrihar protopian thinking!

@harriorrihar too many means, and too few nices

@anarchiv Pics please!

@anarchiv - Note to self: Look into importing a washing machine from Denmark, so I'm prepared next time I need to buy one.

@lily Agree that “local NPR affiliate” would be too often and “light green” would be waaaaaay too often.

@lily this thread slaps

For the time being it’s a desktop app without electron (but with tauri)
