Working for large corporations erodes your future prospects as a worker because it makes it easier for a few giants to collude to reduce the average salary with coordinated mass layoffs. This is why there's so many white collar jobs being destroyed, not because "ai" is going to replace them all.

Being a human : if you find yourself saying "sorry" too much. Start saying "thank you" instead. E.g. "Thank you for your patience" instead of "sorry I was 1 minute late". Sets the tone for collaboration and positivity.

@RosePuckey Interesting! Which localization is your reader's voice set to? I usually use espeak on linux with US English. I bet different accents say it differently. Noted regarding clumping at the end. I try to limit my number of tags to just one or two to keep them from being too annoying.

@pawpower Good to know, thank you. I'm on Linux (using the web interface) and on Android with Tusky. They've been so so. I'll try muting more of my timeline. I've mostly taken to unfollowing folks that post too much and making more focused "lists" for specific topics. Might just need to cut down a lot more to make it manageable. 😅 Is a braille display useful for skimming through large amounts of text? I've been curious to learn.

@brandon Sweet. Think this would be better for me to learn than Uiua? uiua.org/

I've been meaning to add a "unicode outputs" mode to my keyboard which would make this a lot faster to type.

Feels good to finally get a fix for a CI issue that's been plaguing my inbox with false errors. 😵

Ant Fact of the Day:

"Ant Garnets" are tiny red gems found by ants. I know this sounds made up ... but it's real.

Harvester ants dig deep nests (up to 6m!) and they bring the soil to the surface grain by grain. Sometimes they find garnets, tiny precious red gemstones.

These are waste to the ants: they end up in the spoil heap around the nest. When it rains, the lighter stone washes away, the garnets from deep in the earth remain.

Those in the know can collect them from the surface.

@brandon whoaa. Is there a way to translate the symbols into function names or something? 🤯

Android sucks because most apps are not keyboard accessible and won't scoll correctly without touch swiping to scroll 😵 E.g. the discord server / dm tingie doesn't even work with mouse clicks 🫠

Tech bugs rambling 

Soundcloud's "offline play" feature is garbage. How is it not instant and why does the album art need to load from the net every single time? 👿

@andnull IMO AGPL licensing stuff is a great way to sidestep ai / corpo stuff since they usually keep it away on a ten foot pole.

@pawpower Cool! Are there mastodon clients you know of that are accessibility focused? Any tips navigating all this data? I found keyboard nav is really tedious cause all the posts have lots of focusable areas and no easy way to skip to older pages quickly 😅

@pawpower good to know ty! Mind if I ask some questions about your tech setup? I'm planning to migrate away from screens in the near future and it's a bit overwhelming.
