There's no feeling like the productivity* which comes from *having* to be productive. 😌
I've begun to hate "feeling inspired” and then working on a project, because such bursts of passion are rare and fleeting and hard to rely on.
I'd much rather drag my ass into a planning session for a project because *I'm a goddamn professional* and get creative work done *because I have to*. I can't afford the luxury of writer's block.
* Note: this isn't about hustle culture, but rather habitual routine.
Take a nap if you need to. Set a timer.

@ZachWeinersmith A plan based on an infinite growth model may sustain inner peace but it will not sustain outer peace
Rich people: "well we know we have an image problem, so this year we thought we'd be more inclusive and make the theme of our obscene Versailles nobleman's fashion party "costumes for marginalized body types" - isn't that wonderful?"
Everyone: "Dear christ please, this is exhausting - just pay your fucking taxes already?"
Rich people: "Uh... no."
@inquiline 😭😂😂🤣 Don’t correct them! If I’m a lair then I finally get to have a villain inside me 😅

Mastodon leaves open massive holes that function as harassment opportunities. Users can't block replies; and harassers are often given the benefit of the doubt. I wrote about this here:
https://openjournals.uwaterloo.ca/index.php/JoCI/article/view/6644
As some of the replies to OP state, as there is new leadership it's time to bring these issues forward (again)
Good ol' Mastodon, where it's "abuse" to not let anyone who wants to reply to you... 🙄
Don't ever change, FLOSS!!

Interesting how you frame this technical choice, made by people, in an environment that was built to be very, very customizable according to user preference and need, as an inherent property of this network.
Also interesting that you frame not wanting to hear from others as hostile and abusive.
I think my analysis holds up fine.
Cannot verify, but funny regardless.
@nazgul can't verify either. also think its funny! AND it's probably just marketing because Proton. AND AND tin-foil take they for sure vibe code their shit and they're deflecting about their own dev/vibe practices with humor
Correcting for inflation, by the end of 2026, we will have spent more on AI than we spent building the entire Interstate Highway System and the transcontinental railroads (all four of them) combined.
At some point, society needs to be asking what the benefit-to-cost value is to all this, because we could just tax all this money from billionaires and do stuff with it that’s actually useful.
I am ever amazed at Claude’s inability to add a linefeed character to the end of a file. It’s like the developers never heard of POSIX.
@ramsey What developers?
(No, I don't believe their hype about "claude codes claude", but perhaps they do)

@KmacNessa @Lazarou Well here in Mexico it certainly doesn't have cannabis in it. So they flavored it.
Weirdly, it tastes green. Kind of like a plant. It's not bad. But then my normal choice, when unable to get cider, is for pale Mexican or Southeast Asian beers. So I am by no means a connoisseur.
@nazgul @Lazarou Green like hoppy, or matcha-esque?
I enjoy cider as well, but it can be tricky to find one that's not toooo overpoweringly sweet. At least that's been my luck thus far.
I'm not much of a brew connoisseur either; I just enjoy trying funky things, as it keeps life interesting. ☺️
Have you come across any particular brands that you would recommend?
@inquiline Yes I did take a look at your link initially. It's to put the counter-point to the assumptions in that I replied.
I'm aware this is not entirely welcome discussion and after this I'll leave the last word to you.
IMHO posters should not generally have control over the speech of others. That there's a reply box is part of the rules of engagement here when deciding to post or not.
Silencing others (with hostility...) can be another type of abuse.
Anyway, have a nice evening.

@neil fun story: when I was 15 I registered askjeves.co.uk, copied the site and made it respond with “Piss off, I’m busy” to any question. They threatened to sue my parents, I was obviously terrified so immediately transferred the domain. Their lawyers later confessed it was the funniest thing they’d seen. I was not popular with my parents for a while.
It was a journey.
