Casual reminder to Ignore the anti-union propaganda from corporate America.
If unions were actually bad for workers, corporations wouldn't need to spend millions of dollars on union-busting.
Happy weed day to those that celebrate. 🍃🍃

@bryan @julia I have also said at one point that software should never be an experience, because if you are experiencing the software instead of the task that means the software is getting in the way or distracting you or both. The ideal user experience, IMO, is one where the software disappears entirely.

I realise this thread has strayed way off its original topic, but... hot take:
Mozilla should bring back Firefox OS.
Putting decade-old company politics aside it was the most innovative and potentially disruptive thing Mozilla ever built, before and since, and is needed now more than ever.
For smartphones maybe, but also all manner of other smart devices where owning the OS is the only effective way to disrupt the incumbents.
@alilly I recently wrote some code that analyzes and transforms code and now I feel so good about having the option to just refactor a bunch of it with code without needing to do stuff manually.
@Hyolobrika Hmm, sometimes the IPFS daemon dies and gets stuck in a broken state. Generally you need to clear your browser data to fix it. I thought I had added some code to recover from it in the last release but there might be something more subtle happening. Else it's just unable to resolve the address.

i will have some availability to take on new client work in may! if there's anywhere my experience in graphics, full stack web development, game design/development, programming languages, or distributed systems can be helpful -- please reach out!
you'll not only be supporting me but my cooperative @emma too, which means supporting a democratically managed worker-owned workplace! which is cool!!!
boosts welcome!
Love how Mastodon embeds a different URL in the post content compared to the `href` in the `tag` array for the `Mention` object. 🤪
It may just be due to me using an ancient version of it.
@fleeky mostly fingers and knees though. Looking into getting a brace or skmething to avoid hyperextending by accident :P
@fleeky Yeah alternating cold and hot has been helping. Gonna look into doing physio this year to build up muscle groups to help or something. I think being able to float when I sleep would be better though.
I wish fantasy style magic was real. I'd love to have a levitation spell 😭 Might help with this joint pain.
Feels very satisfying to make it under the "perfect" number of moves in these sliding block puzzles. I wonder if they're made by algorithm or by humans.
@SallyStrange I ditched the predictive keyboard a few yeara ago because it kept changing the word I was typing to whatever it wanted. Sadly my finger mobility sucks so I still have lots kf spelling errors from mistypes. Way less frustrating to use for me though.
Great article with analogies to how the destruction of "scientific forestry" relates to the destruction of online diversity with social media and growth hacking tech.

Pitch: A reality TV show called "Extreme Adulting"
People with ADHD complete terrible tasks such as:
- filing their taxes
- making an appointment by phone
- cleaning out their junk closet without dying by avalance when they open the door
- moving across the country
- finding their keys
But! Our Heros are not working alone.
They are paired with our Fab Focus team: a behavioral coach, a social worker, an organization expert, and a psychologist.
Together, the Fab Focus and our heroes will tackle and complete the most daunting of adulting tasks!

Whoa. This seems really important. New study suggests that changing the charging protocol from the presently common constant current charge to a high frequency pulsed square wave current could DOUBLE the lifetime of Li-ion batteries.
i.e. the 8 year life of an EV battery back could be extended to a much more reasonable 16 years. That's huge.

@enigmatico @Hyolobrika @foone @eriol @kite @trans_caracal @selzero @yassie_j @lofty @Ailunarenth@den.raccoon.quest I've enjoyed most of the remasters I've played lately 🥰

I'm an abandonware radicalist; not only should abandoned software have its source released, abandoned hardware should be opened up to development to stop it being ewaste.
