A distracted driver, a motorcycle crash, and the terrifying wait to see if I would ever walk again.

@onepict It's an interesting point. I had not previously thought of the rise of Facebook et. al as a failure of the open web, but of course it's an *induced* failure, as companies saw a more profitable opportunity in locking people in.
@wendyg exactly, there's a reason I wrote this for fluconf this week.
We're valuable both as a userbase to manipulate as well as a huge amount of data for #SurveillanceCapitalism to use and abuse

Today in "this is why people think I'm weird":
I'm rewatching Suicide Squad (love Harley in that movie, Margot Robbie is amazing in that role), and me and my spouse ended up discussing how much Arkham failed her.
She should *never* have been put in a position where the Joker could manipulate her the way he did, the higher-ups should've made sure that there were supervision *and* that there were debriefing with a mental health professional that knows and understands this kind of psychology.
@tante Habe heute Kommentare unter meinem bei Golem wieder veröffentlichten Blogpost zu der Tailwind-Sache gelesen und meine Lieblingsstelle war die, wo sie statt einer Suchmaschine Copilot genutzt haben, um sich was erklären zu lassen.
@leitmedium Warum liest du Kommentare? Who hurt you?
and we had a wild @andypiper rocking a @FediverseSymbol hat!
@mapache the one that Chris took of us? Same here!!! He's currently traveling back home so I haven't been bugging him about it, but I can't wait to see the pic 😊
Anyone else wish they'd just leave the groundhogs alone?
@StaceyCornelius Let's stop blaming them for our bull shit, really. Lol

Talking about "AI" on LInkedIn.

Ported some in-request HTML munging from beautifulsoup (+ lxml) to selectolax (lexbor), and saved over 150ms!
Maybe beautifulsoup has had its day... Even JustHTML was about on-par with bs4 + lxml, and that's pure Python.
und natürlich von @_elena das Video: https://videos.elenarossini.com/w/64VuNCccZNrP4u9MfgbhkN
Ich weiss nicht, warum ich 2h geredet habe, das Video erklärt einfach alles viel besser. (in nur 4 Minuten)
@punxsocial secret: the video's runtime is closer to 3 minutes because that's what I said in the voice-over and it would have been hell to recut it to make it longer... so 3 minutes and 4 with the end credits 😅

Been rearranging my desk set up. Triple monitors because why not?
I don’t want to talk about the cable management.
What I do need is lighting. It looks ok in daylight but that orange light under the shelf above is all vibes and no lumens. As a lifelong member of the No Big Light club, it gets way too dingy in here without sun and there’s not much of that at the moment.
So do I run a strip along the back of the desk? Find something fancy to go on the wall? I don’t really want to stick anything to the back of the new monitor.
@resl @futurebird @Phosphenes @bovaz @aurochs pixelfed and loops looks similar to tiktok and instagram
@hiphopheaven @futurebird @Phosphenes @bovaz @aurochs They do! I left Tik Tok and Instagram a few years ago after I joined the Fediverse, and I was excited to find Loops and Pixelfed.
Naturally it sucks not having a lot of people you know "IRL" on those, since that was a major reason to use Instagram - to keep up with lots of friends through their posts and short video updates.
It seemed that was the only issue - getting more people to join the platform. But that is no easy task...
