i've mostly vagueposted about it before because it's a quick tool I wanted to build for myself, with no time for prolonged support/additional features

but I made a medication tracker that fits better with my personal (adhd) needs, namely no set schedule, but still getting reminders to take the next dose after a certain interval.

After evaluating existing options f-droid.org/en/packages/dev.co came closest, but when used in 'take as needed' mode, there's no notification/interval options at all, and my general rhythm isn't consistent enough for anything pre-scheduled.

code in git.pixie.town/f0x/remind-my-m, react-native was quite nice to use actually. it's easy to sideload an apk to android stuff but for iOS that's left as an exercise to the reader

huh, it's been more than 50 days now since I switched to using my own app for medication tracking, and it still works super well

food, dentist 

i want snack but the dentist anesthesia isn't quite gone yet :((

meta subtoot, corporations on fedi 

And so the arguing over "is this corporation behaving badly enough to ban or should we let them continue posting noise?" begins...

This is *precisely* why you ban corporations on sight, because this is how it goes every time, and the outcome is also the same every time: a dishonest wasteland of corporations trying to emulate human connection

by running gotosocial you are helping to push forward the problematic trans agenda of... checks notes... equal human rights?

some Br*tish Petroleum executive: no NO stop sending us feet pics that's NOT how we calculate your personal carbon footprint!!!1!

hmm yes, i thought my quadcopter camera replacement didn't work (upgraded to a newer model runcam nano, which seemed to draw a bit more mA)... but hadn't looked at it since and it just seems to work now. didn't even turn on my soldering iron

I don't think we talk about Orthocera enough. Everyone is like "Yeah and then for awhile there were 30ft long squid-like creatures in dunce caps... anyways moving right along..."

And I just want to say "Hold up... HOW long?"

I bet deep in the ancestral memory of the octopus and the deep sea squid they remember... Ancestors. The Pointy Ones.

We need to shut down all evolution until we can find out what's going on!

algorithm recommendations, uspol 

very weird how the youtube algo is suddenly recycling tons and tons of obama clips from interviews or whatever, kinda bad vibes

When they say “chatGPT gave me xyz” what really happened is that it gave you a mashup of things written by people on the internet, and didn't bother with proper attribution. These things are not made of magic and like soyolent they are really made out of people.

A way to characterise these language models is as a way to depersonalise and remove agency. To appear to centralise content generation.
