“Passion has little to do with euphoria and everything to do with patience. It is not about feeling good. It is about endurance. Like patience, passion comes from the same Latin root: pati. It does not mean to flow with exuberance. It means to suffer.” ― Mark Z. Danielewski, Ho

I think I’m gonna read devil man crybaby, I’ve always heard of it..

Oops! Looks like that’s the name of the show -_- I’ll give both a shot

is it bad I found this place from 4chan? (⁠⁠﹏⁠⁠;⁠)

Ran a SQL workshop tonight, it went okay. just bums me out attendance to "learning" events is down unless you add the word AI to it.

cool platform. found you on ycombinator.

welcome!

Anybody here using mastodon regularly? What instance are you on? I can't decide on where to register 😅

I'm using mastodon.social but i think you can look the instances in their site and decide by interest.

There's a really good one run by someone in the Netherlands. He forked the software and made a ton of improvements. I was on there six years ago. I wish I could remember the name.

Ah! Qoto.org! It looks like it might be gone now though :/

mastodon.social/@pauladamsmas

…

I decided to use mstdn.social/@zbr - I like that’s it’s not too crowded and has a 500 word limit.

having just spent a week camper-travelling Norway, hiking mountains and glaciers, swimming in fjords really put some things into perspective for me - I should take more vacations

This inspired me. I think adventure might be part of our nature that needs more or less attention, but it somehow needs to be maintained to be achieved. Hehe, this might be simple thoughts, reading what i wrote.. but I am gratefull for you reminding me of the importance of fresh perspectives deriving from ones own willing exploratory experience.

I’m at the point where I understand half of what the AI tries to explain to me, but anyway, the feeds pages should load 10 times faster now.

Bad people are working together to enrich themselves and slave others into rat races. Good people need to start working together too.

Good people are always more, if more affraid of things. Bad people, unfortunately, is more willing to make harm, hence why they keep the upper hand. To support eachother is the minimum we need to move forward, and so long this doesn't happen things will remain the same. A revolution, as they say, doesn't happen with a single person, we need the mayority to join.

"we need the majority to join" - this is a very interesting point; actually we only need 3,5% 👌 Erica Chenoweth from Harvard found this from their research with Maria J. Stephan, and wrote the book "Why Civil Resistance Works". They also found that nonviolent resistance is more often successful than the violent ones. Very interesting stuff.

At moms house for the holiday weekend so the kids can see Nana. She has a "premium Plex" account on her tv serving a truly massive amount of content. Allegedly the brother of a long time friend is offering the "service". She says that the service will go down when the host is having outages, so the infra is likely local. I brought my year this weekend. We are going to dig in to this guys operation. Intuition dictates that there is some hand rolled accounting going on. I'd like to see it.

I started blogging… again mataherry.bearblog.dev

ChatGPT-generated placards for fruits and vegetables at the local farmer's market 👌

Soon, a tablet stand where you type in “what do you feel like eating today?”, and it suggests the best and freshest products.

…

or just talk to it.

they will already know you want them and a drone would have already been deployed with a box with everything you need in it.

Regular photos are so outdated, everyone knows that

Looks like you-know-who has finally come for nitter. :-( nitter.net

Using the internet these days is like pulling off an elaborate heist operation. Every time I successfully load a page I feel like I've "gotten away with something".

It is sometimes tempting to mutter, "I'm in!" in your movie hacker voice when you finally get past all the cookie/subscription/notification pop-ups.

Logged on to Bluesky after a news-free weekend. Regrets.

I imagine something terrible has happened (again) and the world is talking about it. I avoid reading general news. Too depressing.

The interface needs some work. For example, I would like the textarea that I am using right now to be as wide as the header above. Also, where is the character counter?

Fixed! The character counter is impossible tho as we don't have any client JS.

If you left your current industry, what would you do for a living?

Something with people, bartender maybe, or something with no critical thinking, delivery person, taxi driver and such. Or I go back to being a DJ as I was doing when I was young.

love it

If things turned out differently, I'd like to be a librarian in a medical history library.

…

Librarian does sound very appealing.

how to use our time properly. i need to improve my productivity.

You can do it by beating procrastination. Procrastinators enjoy themselves rather than working at assigned tasks.

…

:(

there are reasons to procrastinate. sometimes you are not ready for a task and it has to ripen on the back of your had. sometimes you don't have structure and are not organised. sometimes you might be overwhelmed by too many tasks.

make a schedule and only try to get one or two things done per day. productivity is not about getting more done for the sake of it. it's about getting to what is important for you.

the binding of isaac might be one of the best games ever made

Omg! I just started playing it

it will never take its leave out of your life :D
