Your streaming service play history is littered with random things you’ve asked a voice assistant to play at the behest of your child, such as “the fart song” and “poop burger”

Wherein I look at the purpose of those ratings systems for products, restaurants, etc, and what it means to evaluate them
In digital garden style, this isn’t done yet, I’ve got more things to say on the topic

I can’t speak for anyone else, but once a post gets past about a hundred boosts I can’t really make the attention space for further replies anymoreI can’t speak for anyone else, but once a post gets past about a hundred boosts I can’t really make the attention space for further replies anymore
It’s not that I don’t think they’re good or bad - rather that I don’t have the brain space to engage in evaluating that

stop referring to vulnerabilities stemming from software using publicly-available package repositories cataloguing what amounts to a vast effort of free labor as “supply chain attacks”@postmodern my take is that people want to solve what are fundamentally attacks on community & shared resources in the framework of Capitalism because that’s their only framework for understanding the world

Since I was laid off last year, I’ve talked with a lot of people about how _weird_ the tech industry is right now, and the sentiment behind this post echoes a lot of what I’ve been hearing: A lot of people want out.@Configures The author nailed it w/ quote I excerpted; my experience as someone who was once, as a front end lead, thrown into on call for a backend system I had never touched nor had any experience with the stack for and was just expected to know because of course I should, and I was admonished for both my pushback and subsequent floundering during an incident.
I left that role shortly after & the company folded eight months later

Please, for the love of all that is chronological: Stop saying EST in the summer, when you mean EDT.@peeja This has long been a peeve of mine too, one of the many things that inspired my time zones piece

the real talk for me is that all the braying about putting a cw on “American politics” makes me want to use masto less and Twitter more ️@danilo @Elucidating believe me, I’m well aware of the other side of this, as well as the gray areas of definition – I don’t have answers; but I spent half of yesterday afternoon spiraling and it took a lot of effort to get back to a state where I could be of any help to *anyone*
personally I make heavy use of temporary mutes and disabling reposts

I’m attempting to self-host a few things, without success so far, and have just about hit the point where further investment of my time vs paying for hosted options is not feasible@evanphx yeah I was thinking about the app store model for this back in 2012, there are a *lot* of problems and I suspect it comes down to making a last-mile effort with various software packages via “deploy templates” or something - unfortunately what I’m finding with those is that they’re not well-maintained or documented, and often setup with misguided assumptions

the real talk for me is that all the braying about putting a cw on “American politics” makes me want to use masto less and Twitter more ️@danilo For me – any many others – this is not about ignoring a problem so much as it is about managing our bodies’ poor regulation of anxiety & depression
I need help from medication to do this _on a good day_, and I cannot simply take more medication to help with the problem on a bad one
and yet, this space can with the right curation provide some solace and help with managing those symptoms

I’m attempting to get cal dot com and listmonk up & running somewhere
I’d describe the main problems I’m dealing with as what I’d call “over-greased happy paths” - templates, workflows, etc, that all attempt to make things “easy” at the cost of rigidity
Having to link a github account and setup CI pipelines for automatic deploys on every commit; poor documentation around environment variables - requiredness, formatting, etc; poor error messages

Why is self-hosting server software still so complicated? (don’t answer that — I worked on a PaaS platform pre-Docker, I’ve been around enough to have Opinions)

Still no sign of #LilyTheCat.@deirdresm my heart goes out to you, and I hope she comes back ok soon

providing free labor does not make one a supplier — a “supply chain” implies some form of economics where EVERY OTHER MODEL of a supply chain involves money changing hands
these attacks are against a communal resource, not a supply chain

To all the “content warnings are nonsense” folks, must be nice to not have trauma. ️https://hachyderm.io/@mattly/112717609938229395@janl I mean, yes but also, while issues with self-regulation and trauma often go hand-in-hand, they don’t necessarily have to. Issues with regulating Depression/Anxiety are comorbidities for neurodiverse people, even those who haven’t been traumatized by their experiences as a neurodiverse person. Sometimes it’s just how their brain works!
