@fanf42 @april I'm gonna do one soon, two rounds, 1h each "open-ended whiteboard testing". I'm unironically preparing now because the company is quite cool, but if it was just for money, I wouldn't bother.

Why I deleted my social media accounts (and why you should too)

"[...] Social media platforms have turned lowering moral standards into an Olympic sport. And boy, are they winning. Sure, companies need to make money. That’s fair. But when they use every psychological trick in the book to keep you doom-scrolling for hours, it’s time to ask some questions. [...]

@LevelUp it's soooo goooood because one can shitpost while reading. I keep everything spoiler-free by default fwiw.

My experience with moving my book records from Goodreads to #Bookwyrm might have been bad (still have to sort out that chaos), but moving my pictures from Instagram to #Pixelfed was... flawless. As far as I can tell. Anyway, metapixl.com/laumapret now has pictures from my previous years of instagramming as well. But I am still quite lazy with picture-gramming my life.

Coronavirus found in samples from 96% of flights

If you believe it's now safe to fly without a protective mask, you might want to think again. New research shows the COVID-19 virus has been found on nearly every flight tested.

@kaiserkiwi fwiw I tried to register there once and failed to set up the account from the mobile phone in like 2023?

But also, I disagree with the idea of wanting our stuff to be "the best", because "the best" is not quite defined for general systems.

Finally, send PRs! 😂

Incidentally, UX of is way better than . Even though it's a bit glitchy. Is it "the best"? To me – yes, as is.

@Raccoon I really don't want to be... ...inflammatory (pun absolutely intended), but who if not Ukraine *is* ready to be at the forefront of NATO? Which country's army among our armies has waged a defensive war against an equal, let alone, more resourceful enemy? If you mean economic considerations, it's also a non-sequitur. In my eyes, the implication goes in the other direction – the longer Ukraine lacks security, the harder it will be for it to have a reasonable GDP. And conversely, a ton of investors, large and small are ready to invest a big buck into free Ukraine! Some already do. So Ukraine in NATO would mean Ukraine with... A positive GDP in no time.

Please, if you don't mind, can you explain the "readiness" argument when you have a moment? @kardinal691

WARNING--RANT!!! 😡

Before the US election I was so looking forward to never seeing that ugly f- face on a newspaper, magazine, or social media, now his freaking mug is everywhere in Canadian news and is threatening our coutry!

I will NEVER forgive those non-voting and the third party protest and MAGA US voters.

Thank you all from spreading your effing misery to the rest of the world you selfish S.O B-s!!

Thinking of Aaron Swartz today & I’m stuck on this photo - he & OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (both circled) each scraped 1000s of docs but one did it to make the knowledge free for all while the other did it to make $$$$ through probabilistic plagiarism. The US DOJ only came after one of them & the other is feted by tech bros and executives.

Thank you Aaron for so much, for RSS, for Markdown, for Creative Commons and more. I’m sorry our society failed you.

@xameer I remember when I was 14, I asked my slightly older friend some Linux question. He said "you are too young to use Linux". 😂

Little did he know, I had a FreeBSD running on a Celeron 433 in the same room 🤫

@CynAq @futurebird

I highly recommend doing this - a solar system walk 👇.
I did it with my kids when they were young, and it left a permanent impression… on me. The distances are so vast and the bits of matter so tiny.
Should be part of every elementary school astronomy class.
