It NEVER fails
Mastodon is the ONLY space where I receive racist comments to my posts
Mastodon, for me, is often indistinguishable from today’s Twitter
And now that Bluesky is fully operational, you can’t use “oh, that’s just the Fedverse” because I posted there at the same time and it’s NOT the same experience at all
Fix this shit or this “thought experiment” will not survive the shifts that’s happening

@Eniko Fox When people fail to use content filters, I just set all their posts to auto-collapse (essentially CW-ing everything they post).
I don't know if Mastodon supports this and it's still somewhat of a game of whack-a-mole, but it's the best solution I've found thus far.
i would like the people who are like "who needs content warnings just opt out using filters" to know that i block anyone who says this on sight, and I am very influential
I have a messenger bag that I typically carry around with me. Sometimes things go in there and I forget about them.
Katy was looking for something and discovered that for some reason I had put our marriage certificate in there. The last time I needed the physical certificate was years ago, so it must've been sitting in there and I've just been carrying it around with me unknowingly for quite some time.
I imagine I should probably find a better place for it.
I should probably also go through it to see what else I've put in there and forgotten about.

I'm an idiot.
I was trying to install #Haskell on a machine and thought the installer was taking a really long time. In my defense, the last line of text was:
Installation may take a while.It sat at this stage for over an hour while I did other stuff, because I hadn't bothered to read the previous line:

hlint is a great tool for pointing out where your code can be improved, but sometimes its suggestions are... interesting. Case in point, it just recommended changingmap (\(a, b) -> {- ...stuff... -}) $ zip as bsto
zipWith (curry (\(a, b) -> {- ...stuff... -})) as bsinstead of
zipWith (\a b -> {- ...stuff... -}) as bs

Got an oscilloscope as a late birthday present. One of the features listed on the box is "firmware updates".
Why on earth would an oscilloscope need firmware updates? It's an oscilloscope.
Next up: learn how to use an oscilloscope. 🙃

We have to order @Benny's food from the vet because he's on a prescription diet. Tried using their on-line ordering option. We ordered his food a week ago. It just arrived this morning.
We just got tracking now.
Thanks. That's helpful.

I hate when people talk about hobby tools as like "if you value your time"
1) fixing is a skill you should hone
2) fixing can be fun
3) hobbies are not something to optimize
Discussing valuing someone's time spent on hobbies in dollars is the worst grindset babble imaginable

I sell products ready-assembled, and do-it-yourself kits for building the same products. Some of my customers buy the kits because they really like building kits, and that's great.
But others buy the kits because they think they're entitled to the finished product at a lower price, and they begrudge every second of effort they must put into building the kit. Those people really exist and they are the market for tools that purport to save "the value of your time."

@Matthew Skala Yeah, that's valid. If you're doing it to save money - that's fine.
But this is a criticism of the *argument*, not the sale. People can and should sell preassembled things, kits, and more! Not everyone wants to build! But if someone is building on purpose, don't tell them to value their time.

STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING!!!
A trailer for the Sierra On-Line documentary has just dropped!
It features both Ken and Roberta Williams – the founders of the most important PC gaming company ever. Certainly, it was the most influential American gaming company after Atari.
Roberta Williams was a huge influence on me and millions of children who primarily gamed on PCs. She brought us King’s Quest, Laura Bow, Phantasmagoria, and a host of beautiful PC gaming classics. To me, she was as good of a game designer as Shigeru Miyamoto.
I wish Sierra still existed. I miss the magic that they created.

Not Everyone Has an Inner Voice Streaming Through Their Head
The extent to which people experience “inner speech” varies greatly, and the differences matter for performing certain cognitive tasks
"Past research suggests inner speech is key in self-regulation and executive functioning, like task-switching, memory and decision-making."

I can’t do podcasts unless I’m doing something else at the same time, such as on my exercise machine or doing a sudoku which occupies a different part of my brain, or driving. #ADHD
@Susan60 mine is usually only active when I'm doing something with a strong connection to a spoken language (although not when I'm programming even when there are English words in the code)
But sometimes I'm trying to go to sleep and my inner speech starts up and gets faster and faster until it's an unintelligible garble.
@I Love Chai ☕️ Until about my 30s, I always thought the the whole "inner voice" thing was a literary and cinematic technique used to approximate a person's thought process for narrative purposes.
I'd always seen language as an inconvenient thing I needed to use to in order to serialize my thoughts in a manner that they could actually be communicated to another person, not a natural way of thinking in and of itself. That realization blew my mind.
