While I don't have a bucket list there's a bunch of stuff that comes to mind when asked about it.

Until 10 to 15yrs ago a solid item was "drive a train, do a powerslide".

Then one day I got the chance to do the first part of that item. Today I was reminded of it as someone shared the resulting incident report (created due to me also ticking off the second part..).

Little thread as I enjoy the recollection. It was no "duck in a datacenter" day of good, but surely one I remember fondly.

@babe happy bday!!

Curious, it’s much more likely that children get hurt, abused or indoctrinated at home or commuting to school or in school than on the Internet, yet no one is banning homes, commutes or schools.

But everyone is eager to cut off children’s access to the Internet.

@cachondo @cubic Welp, I guess that's gonna be fixed then, thanks for bringing that issue up.

@julian @dansup @thisismissem @evan @quillmatiq

I understand why.

You understand why.

Thousands of people do not, and tens and hundreds of thousands being invited in will also not understand this.

We need to do better than "public is public".

@julian @dansup @thisismissem @evan @quillmatiq

I need to call this one out, sorry.

"The smaller devs doing interesting things with fedi get absolutely fucked over for simply exposing the fact that... public stuff is public"

More and more, people joining this space are entirely unaware that this is a technical foundation of the space, and more and more people come to me as a service provider asking me why their content is on Web sites they did not sign up for.

@mike rhetorical power or marketing 😄 either way it operates to prevent people from understanding that there are other useful ways of ordering their online lives than by a chronological algorithm. the important question that remains is how much transparency and agency do they have...

@alexia @liaizon At Mastodon we have most certainly reached out to other projects to coordinate on quotes with authorization...

It's my birthday, give me boosts!

@ElenLeFoll 🤭

@cubic @alexchapman and there' you've hit the issue. :)

@jackf723 @fireborn @munchkinbear @ky0les That's awesome.

Dites les porteur·ses de lunettes, est-ce qu'il existe des pro tips pour pas avoir mal aux tempes quand on porte un casque (audio) ?

Je cherche et j'ai l'impression que la seule solution c’est essayer des montures plus fines. Mais perso j'ai deux paires, une avec des branches fines et une avec des branches épaisses. Celles avec branches épaisses sont un peu mieux, mais ça me fait quand même mal au bout d'un moment.

Ça existe genre des montures avec des branches souples ou plates peut-être ?

@tante all those added processes just to clean out the mess! Who will pay for it? Don't we have the right to bill it to those who run the scrapers?

@babe yeah i don't really get it either when people do that, we're colleagues not competitors for goodness' sake

@daniel wow, it's sad to see what a bitter, unpleasant person soatok seems to have become, he used to be quite grounded

@sebsauvage@framapiaf.org Je suppose que jamais eu de suite ?

@eniko I followed a lot of indiedevs via streaming that kinda gave up and just kept creating gamedev content, mostly hustle/inspirational stuff, that really demotivates me even more.
