poison, reading papers 

> Several of the household food purchasers mentioned that they
did not want to poison themselves

oh, how surprising

hm considering asking people to send me pictures of their fridge/pantry for uni research purposes, but wonder how many would even be comfortable doing that (context is food waste, but i'm explicitly approaching it from an angle that doesn't blame the consumer)

I've been struggling with this myself, so I thought I'd repeat it for other people that might be dealing with the same thing:

Not every hobby needs to be a project. Not everything needs to be a whole *thing* with a goal and an endpoint. It's okay to not finish something. It's okay to pick up something for a bit, explore it, start making something, and then drop it without making any "progress".

Productivity is capitalist bullshit that doesn't need to infect your free time too. Have some fun

Hello everyone! We've just created the proper v0.7.0 release of GoToSocial, Stormy Sloth! ⛈️ 🦥

You can find the release here: https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.7.0

This is the culmination of two and a bit months of hard work, and we're really proud of it :)

Big thank you to all contributors, testers, and well wishers!

Release highlights

Basic video support (mp4 only). You can finally upload videos, and view videos from remote instances too. Not all mp4 files work, currently -- this is something we'll investigate for next release most likely.
Support for federating reports in and out of GoToSocial, and viewing reports via the admin settings panel (this feature was sponsored by NLnet).
Support for webp attachments, avatars, and headers.
Users can now create, remove, and view status bookmarks!
Domain blocks now apply on a wildcard basis, so you can block a second level domain (like example.org) and it will apply to subdomains too (like poop.example.org etc).
HTTP request throttling -- only a certain number of http requests are served at a time now. This should vastly improve responsiveness under load on small instances.
Much better logic for pruning old avatars + headers, leading to gb of disk space savings.
So many bug fixes and performance improvements.

hm yes, just as im about to do something again my energy is like 'see ya nerd'

nothing makes be believe in empty internet theory more than when I look for a solution for a particular problem I have, and the only real solution is a blog post by someone I know

Medium article: "Coding won't exist in five years. This is why."

First paragraph: "once upon a time, in a world not too different from ours, handmade clothing was the norm."

Comrade. Friend. I really need to tell you that clothing is still hand made. We just exploit people in the global south to make tons of it cheaply.

if mastodon crumbled, which fruit would it have? i like pear

of course exacerbated by the way it still links to view of that profile from the instance, instead of the actual instance that account is on

it's a small thing but the fact that you can set the "this instance is administrated by" account to one on another instance makes for some really weird dynamics

really regaining the urge to work on FediFox stuff again but now I don't have the fucking time aaaaaaaaa
