Look, you are not required to put sharks in the swimming pool.
But nor are you prohibited from doing so.
This swimming pool is entirely neutral on the issue of sharks in the swimming pool. Sharks are beautiful and graceful creatures.
If you do put a shark in the swimming pool, the shark is your responsibility.
Oh, and you don't have to tell anyone if you are putting a shark in the swimming pool.

@lobingera I don't really agree; so much of what I see is people bending over backwards working around whatever patterns some corporate middle manager thinks is good for engagement.
There's a lot of invisible effort that goes into making corporate social media do anything even remotely useful as an outreach tool.

As a part of my due diligence as "owner of a nightclub" one of the questions I often ask is, "what are other venues up to these days?" In order to answer that question, I wanted to assemble a calendar listing with all of the events happening at my town's other venues with capacities of our size or smaller.
Surely they all provide ICS or RSS feeds. Surely.
Ho ho ho, I had to write 2k+ lines of code, with custom scrapers for 112 web sites.
I used to live in a place where the municipality had a big fat link to an .ics file on their website with all the bins pickup dates. One click, got it in my calendar software.
It could be that fucking easy.
Cassandra has had an adventure reshared this.
Ottawa has an app called "Collection" where you can check what kind of trash is supposed to go in what kind of bin, and get a schedule tailored to your home address that will notify you when it's time to put your bins out or when your pickup will be affected by a holiday. It's great, albeit, an app when I'd prefer less of those in my life.
But ... in the last 6 months or so (probably around when the recycling pickup was outsourced and some people's schedule changed) people were upset about missing pickups in my neighbourhood facebook group, so now someone posts a screenshot of what the next day's pickup will be in the facebook group each week, which by nature of facebook, appears in my feed some time in the several days following when the pickup has already happened....

I believe such claims are inappropriate because it makes a serious allegation without providing any supporting evidence.
Claims of this nature should be backed by reliable sources and proofs. Without such evidence, perhaps it is better to avoid presenting speculation as fact.
@Pol Dellaiera The reason I suspect it is because while I was receiving her messages, she was not receiving mine, though I was getting confirmation that they'd been received. They were sent directly, not via propogation nodes.

First off, unless someone asks for your critique of how they are doing, it is very likely unwelcome.
Secondly you have failed to grasp the core concept of what I stated. Just because you think shitting on someone else's efforts is helpful (and unsolicited criticism is 100% shitting on someone) doesn't mean you didn't just shit on them. And what I am saying is don't do that.
It's demotivating and the opposite of helpful. And what you want is to help.
@juliensueur
Sigh.... You've now had two opportunities to listen, and squandered them both.

Interacting with you has been profoundly unpleasant. You seem to be quite the asshole. Which is why I am blocking you now.
Well said, I did it, too!
@juliensueur@vivaldi.net
I read the first reply, thought, hmm, looks blockworthy (hostility, lack of engaging in any constructive way). There's almost always a second message which confirms that and this time there indeed was and I blocked. Then saw this thread about other people reaching the same conclusion.
I say that not because I deserve a medal (I'm sure I don't), just encouraging other people to recognize this pattern of behavior and don't be afraid to block people if it seems warranted to you. @juliensueur@vivaldi.net

Cheeky answer:
It's hard enough getting people's hearts and minds aligned, to get butts all lined up to shit in solidarity would be a real challenge.
More seriously, cheering on individual efforts is still an act of solidarity.
Those who punch down are expressing their anger in all directions. Perhaps they think that scolding will prick people to greater effort; perhaps not.
Yes, it is not enough, it is never enough, because, as you say, no single action is going to solve everything.
As the saying goes, "The perfect is the enemy of the good." Those who demand perfection are always going to be disappointed.

@grumpy4n6 You are absolutely right and I am probably guilty of doing this. Sorry.
It's very frustrating and discouraging when so many people think that their little tiny thing -- signing an online petition, wearing a certain color hat, sharing a meme -- is going to turn the world around. Especially when so many of these people fail to do the big things: vote, call their Senators and Congress people, attend Townhall meetings. It's the bragging about Slactivism that I'm against.
I think some of this disparagement activity is ratfucking sponsored by the Bad Guys.
It's kind of like the 1960s adage that the guy in your radical group who tells you you need to stop messing around with useless protests and get violent is the undercover cop.
@mattmcirvin excellent point. It absolutely is part of the authoritarian playbook to demotivate and generate a sense of powerlessness and inevitability.
Also, thank you for "ratfucking" that's a new phrase for me. All my old swear words are worn out.

Good discussion! Whether it's performative or not, a lot of uncertain people trying to find ways to engage with be lurking and would see folks being shot down for being perforative and then doubt themselves and their motives and be less likely to try something out of their comfort zone. It demotivates all around.

I would say it is more about the how able you are to inhibit thoughts from becoming actions.
Sometimes that means losing focus on a task.
Sometimes that means blurting out something you didn't mean to.
Sometimes it means fidgeting.
Sometimes it means the world is gone to you while you stay narrowed in on a really demanding task for hours... or consistently for days, weeks, years.
learning about hyperfocus was the thing that made me consider getting tested for ADHD.
I don't have trouble focusing, I just can't control where my focus goes, and I have zero sensory filters, so my attention goes all over the place when I get too many different stimuli.
It certainly doesn't help that all my senses are unusually sensitive.
I absolutely agree. I wish I had more control over my hyperfocus, because when it kicks in, I stop thinking and just start doing.
There might be a few neurotypical people who did awesome things, but honestly? Having ADHD helps so much doing these things... If only we had more control over it!
I have ADHD, diagnosed around 1995, and medicated at the time. I have a genius level IQ and can hyperfocus. Taking care of daily life? Not so good. 😂
My family always said that a bomb could go off and I wouldn’t notice if I had my ‘nose in a book’. Same thing with my life in Electronics and Coding. Now I write novels.

Woke up this morning to a very large unexpected bill that needed to be addressed immediately. Managed to put the immediate fire out (or at least reduce it to a manageable simmer) but it took several hours of negotiating and it burnt essentially all of my spoons for the day. I should have just written the rest of the day off and done nothing else.
Katy and I decided to go run an errand anyway because we could turn it into a nice relaxing bike ride, which honestly sounded pretty appealing. Unfortunately, the errand went sideways and resulted in me having to spend another hour on the phone putting out another urgent fire.
I've done what needed to be done, but I know I'm going to pay a heavy price for overtaxing my system like that. The spoon tax is real.

Turns out I've been pruning my #BorgBackup archives wrong. There's a second step involved that actually deletes the "removed" data rather than just (presumably) removing the refrences to that data from the index. While I knew about this second step, I assumed that it was like how it works when you delete a file: the data technically remains intact, but gets overwritten by subsequent writes. Apparently I was wrong about this. I've been pruning—but not compacting—my daily backups monthly for years.
Long story short: I just spent an entire day compacting my backups. My backup storage just went from 71% full to 38%.
The change log might be an interesting read when upgrading.

Fair enough. But jargon is a standard feature of English. Many words and phrases have specific meanings in particular contexts. If the context is ignore, then a lot of language use will seem much more imprecise than it actually is.
Eg 'industrial' is commonly used as shorthand for 'powered by or derived from fossil fuels' in environmentalist discourse. Assuming a more general definition, prunes meaning from the discourse.
