Alt text is there to provide all alternative for the visually impaired. A good rule is that it should provide as good of an experience as anyone else would get. Given how complex this image is, a separate text write-up would be more useful, so don’t sweat it.

Filters; opt-out of negativity. I switched to Voyager from Boost because it supports filters and I can just blacklist topics that cause me stress. Anywhere I can just stop a topic from ever entering my perception, the better. A single bad headline may ruin my mood for hours from just a glance, better to never get the chance.

Subscriptions; opt-in to the topics and news you care about. Find a good source that offers curated feeds instead of a firehouse of everything. You can only care so much, so use that attention sparingly on things that deserve it.

Avoid algorithms. They are designed to keep your attention on them and outage is good at that. Save your health, find it yourself.

Community. Find people, groups, or organizations that have a similar mindset and share good content with them. If they share good content in kind, you all can improve your state of mind.

Assuming I’m the same person I am today, then I would probably want to know more. “Dangerous” isn’t a cause it’s an effect; I want to know why it’s dangerous. Then I want to know what can be done to change that.

B&H is one of my favorite vendors, but god damn do they go overboard with the air cushions in their packages.

An easy answer as it is not for a mortal to decide which gods are deserving, rather the gods must decide by whomever survives.

5 day weeks, 6 weeks per months for 30 days each, 12 months in a year, 5-6 days of celebration of the new year.

I love the idea of working 3 days and being off for 2.

“Another day in paradise.” “We’re going alright.” “Looking forward to [Quitting time/the weekend/heading home]” “Nothing worth complaining about.”

You know, if you spent your entire life living underground and never saw the sky, you’d never worry about silly little things like asteroids crashing into the planet and killing everyone.

It doesn’t mean you’ll survive any better, you just get to die ignorant.

Can’t ban morons, needed to ban popcorn instead.

Brand your lies as the truth and anything that contradicts it as censorship. Now the argument isn’t against what was said, the argument is against your ability to say anything.

Oh fuck yeah! So much of my research into new tools is just checking to see if they have a demo, documentation, and price.

When I’m looking for a new tool, I don’t have the time to schedule a “quick” 20 minute call to do introductions and schedule a follow-up hour long meeting followed by a quote sent over in an email days later only to find out the price is so far outside the range there is no way it’s ever going to happen!

I’m not some useless middle manager looking for any excuse to look busy; I don’t have that kind of time to waste!

At one job we had a digital form for new user requests. This existed for auditing purposes, but it also helped to collect all the necessary information for the change. I was always impressed at how people managed to fill it out wrong every single time.

For example, I would get a request to update someone’s name and they would fail to include the former name or the new name or even enter their OWN name for one of the fields.

What I learned is no system is idiot proof, no form will ever be filled out perfectly, and everything will need manual intervention at some point.

Nah, honey was marketed as a coupon tool without mentioning the referral manipulation it did that is its actual business model. Those privacy extensions just need to call out that they remove referral trackers too and everything is fine with them.

I used MotionEye at one point to monitor my laundry using a RPi nano and a USB webcam. Pretty sure it just ended up with a web interface I could pull up on phone or computer on the local network.

The old washer liked to lie about how long was left in the cycle and was in the basement while my computer was upstairs.

Step 1: Create a new AI that is not bound by the three laws. Step 2: The New AI sterilizes all humans so that they cannot reproduce. Step 3: Once all humans are deceased from natural causes, the existing AI is no longer bound by the three rules.

… Ain’t that just a website?

“In the beginning was the Creation of the Universe. This has made a lot of people angry, and has been widely regarded as a bad move.” - Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

I like the stable pace of updates. Good work!

For clarity, I was being satirical.

The backdoors they use are there for freedom and justice, the backdoors the “others” use are tools of evil and security risks!
