I think about this quote from @andy@bell.bz a lot: ‘P.S if you think “no one will want to read my posts”, you’re wrong, because I do.’ It’s just a sweet sentiment. It’s important to remember—someone will read your website. A tweet is dead on the vine. No one is gonna read your old Facebook note from years ago. But your website is timeless and someone will eventually read it. Making your own website is rewarding in a way that a corporate social media profile never will be. https://andy-bell.co.uk/just-post/

Attached: 1 image I hate this song with the fiery passion of a million suns and this is the first and only thing that has made me consider it in a new and exciting way. I still despise it, but I will now supplant this reality atop it whenever I hear that cursed song. #WonderfulChristmastime #ITrulyDoHateItTheMostOutOfEveryXmasSong #CursedChristmas #Christmas #Song #Satanic #ThisSongMadeMeHatePaulMcCartney #horror @horror@a.gup.pe #Witches #MotherSuspiriasMorningMeme

Despite not seeking it out, I wake up to hate speech, I stumble upon hate speech all day, I go to bed after looking at hate speech that I’m too exhausted to process. Then I have a nightmare. Every day. Over and over. When I tell people this, their advice is that I should exclude myself from things and spaces and pretend it’s not happening. I should “just” get a different job. This is not good advice and only further isolates me from even the people who aren’t spewing outright hatred about us.

If a person directly affected tells you directly that someone is being racist, or sexist, or genderist, or ableist, or colonialist, or ageist, or sizeist, or displaying some other form of bias or bigotry, or that something is problematic along those lines and you "don't see it", two things are probably true. 1) you probably aren't looking carefully enough at the situation the person's telling you about 2) the person cares enough to tell you, this time, but will probably never trust you again with that feedback about that topic. So if you don't actively engage, learn, and make amends, they will probably never talk to you again about it. Not because they've given up. What they've done is give up on _you_. If that doesn't bother you, then honestly, I don't want to know you.

Let me be clear, the data you put online is as much a part of you as your physical being. It is a construct, but it IS YOU. Why should anyone own you but you? For profit social media is nothing but a perversely incentivized version of serfdom at best, but somehow permissible because your intellectual construct is believed to be somehow less valuable than your physical being. Both the physical and intellectual versions of you, are you. Deny them.

Someone defended the Plagiarism Machine to me the other day by saying that the people who are going to use it weren't going to pay artists in the first place, they were just going to go to the second page of Image Search and steal something from there anyway. But the categorical difference is that in the old way, there was a non-zero chance of getting caught. The Plagiarism Machine makes that impossible because it is a copyright laundry.

Attached: 1 image Is anyone aware of a #markup #language for #InteriorDesign? I read this great article (https://luke.hsiao.dev/blog/housing-documentation/) on writing technical documentation for your house, and I'm building a #Hugo template for just this. I'd love to also document my home's room dimensions, where the outlets are, etc. so I can (a) make simple 3D models (b) create a clickable SVG (c) extract dimensions easily (for determining if new furniture/wallhangings will fit). Any ideas? I'll probably end up bodging my own together…

Attached: 2 images Given we now know governments are spying on people using encrypted messaging through #notifications (to get data or metadata, based on what the specific service sends), the “turn on notifications” prompt in #Signal not having a “no” option but stating “we’ll remind you again later” and continuing to prompt you at regular intervals is now less of a dark pattern to increase usage and more of a #security issue that should be fixed right away. https://www.reuters.com/technology/cybersecurity/governments-spying-apple-google-users-through-push-notifications-us-senator-2023-12-06/ CC @Mer__edith@mastodon.world

A little unconventional #coding #tip: Always copy and paste code. At least at first. Don’t overthink it. And: Don’t start refactoring right away. Why? Because you might think you’re creating almost similar behaviour but you don’t know that really until you actually customise what you pasted. Refractoring based on the assumption of redundancy instead of the fact of it is premature refactoring. Once you’ve specialised your pasted code, then look for redundancy and then refactor. #dev

As someone with Palestinian and Jewish friends of varying political persuasions, right now I see that all of them are hurting. They are traumatized by historical, recent, and ongoing violence, and at the same time they are coping with a rising tide of bigotry. I'm not sure I've got the right takes, and indeed I am constantly evolving in my understanding and views. But I promise I will never stand idly by when you and your community are suffering injustice.

I'm anti-war because the more I learn about history, the more it's clear that wars have a legacy that extends for decades or centuries beyond when they officially end. And I don't mean only the lives lost. The propaganda drives people insane and clouds their vision for decades. All of the things people "had" to do to "win" end up bringing about unintended and unanticipated consequences that never really disappear from society. The madness incites more madness.

Okay, #ADHD folks - what symptom suddenly makes sense, now that you understand ADHD better? I'm not talking about general stuff, like difficulty concentrating, I'm talking about specific phenomena, like having trouble following a conversation at a party. I always thought I had this problem because my ears are about a foot higher than the people speaking, but now I'm starting to think that the real difficulty is that my brain has trouble turning the volume down on all the other talking in the room. (I will occasionally repost this, along with whatever new symptom I've thought up... Apologies for the repetition) #ItAllMakesSenseNow
