its so depressing that a man can't manage a system of precarity and excess mortality organized solely for shareholder wealth for 20 very profitable years without occasionally getting shot to death at 6:45am in midtown new york by a person dressed in a hooded jacket. what has become of this country?

Thanks very much, that's very nice to hear, especially from a complete stranger šŸ˜

I'll be sharing these updates with my team on Monday, and this deffo fills me with more confidence, thank you!

Attached: 1 image Two years later. Want to know one of the major reasons Mastodon didn't catch on with journalists and large website owners? It is *invisible* in referrer statistics. Here's my blog from the last month. BlueSky now sends me more traffic than Bing. How much traffic does Mastodon send? It is impossible to know due to the "noreferrer" header in all links. (I'm not saying your privacy isn't important. But you can't build a community if no-one knows you exist.)

Alas, #SpotifyWrapped is out and is interesting! Did not expect Grafix as my top listen, but given the top songs of 2024 for me, it makes sense!

I'll be more interested to see what happens when I get my Spotify data dump at the end of the year and dig into it as I usually do, and I'm looking at tweaking some of the breakdown to possibly graph my listens / top artists month-by-month

The NotebookLM AI summary of my Wrapped data was a bit uncanny šŸ¤”

The Spotify Wrapped graphic, showing at the top a graphic of the artist Grafix. Below, my top 5 artists are shown: Grafix, Fred V, Phaeleh, Tycho and Koven. I listened to 73,830 minutes of music, and my top songs were: Paradise - Akacia + HYLO, Circles - Yoe Mase (which interestingly I only came across a month of so ago), Blow the Roof - Louis the Child, Kasbo & EVAN GIIA, Miss a Moment - Grafix & Elipsa, and Falling - Cyantific

 Note

Something I've been working on on-and-off for a couple of months is some tweaks to my Manual of Me, prompted by getting a new manager, and wanting to rethink the "things you should know when working with me", as well as delving much more into how #ADHD can affect my work, and some more reflections - and I'm glad that I've finally put the finishing touches on those updates.

Also re-reading my blog post from when I first created it, it's wild to think that this was the first time I'd started using Classless.css, which is now a staple of my microsites!

I'd personally be interested šŸ‘€

@jasonkoebler@mastodon.social just wait until they learn about archive.org and all the LLMs that have the data and ā€¦ at that point CEOs and powerful folk now get interested in right to be forgotten GDPR ideas. This smacks of privacy from video rental data stinging congress people from way back when and now they act. Sigh.
