The ADHD need to do everything to the absolute limit of ability, all the time
Due tomorrow? Do tomorrow. (just scoped that, won't take more than an hour, half that if I skip the stuff they ignore anyway and add it in post. I can do that while eating breakfast no problem.)
Good enough is the bare minimum, Ideal is the goal (Oh hey I started working again at 10pm instead of sleeping because I realized I could do this better!)
Fuck, I can't even ride a bike without pedaling as hard as I can.

From Firefox 120's release notes:
Firefox supports a new “Copy Link Without Site Tracking” feature in the context menu which ensures that copied links no longer contain tracking information.
Nice.

Dismayed to notice that in 2003 I published an article containing a sentence with an unmatched left parenthesis so that everything I’ve published in the last twenty years has been part of one extremely long parenthetical remark.

X has taken its stance. Nazis on the platform are allowed. Pro-Hitler posts are allowed. Holocaust denial is allowed.
If you stay on a platform like that, you can't escape this creeping normalization. Even if you think you can.
"Oh, there goes another Holocaust denier. Just part of being online, I guess."
"Oh, another transphobe calling people dehumanizing slurs. Well that's the Internet for you."
Creeping normalization is like advertising. Even if you think it won't influence you, it will.
re: labour exploitation
Who's gonna tell him that you can only (maybe) expect that sort of commitment from people if they share in the ownership and governance of the company?
labour exploitation
(Translated from Dutch)
"Roland Mack, the 74 year old owner of Europa-Park, has again publicly complained about the work ethic of young workers. The German theme park has been having issues finding staff for a long time. Mack despises youth who only wish to work part-time.
[...]
He concludes that the demands of young employees become more and more absurd. They present "a significant challenge". Phrases like "work-life balance" are not appreciated by the park owner. "I have a problem with work-life balance [as a concept]. If I look back on my career, I've only ever worked 70 or 80 hour weeks".
Employees used to be much more modest, he remarks. Sometimes Mack had no weekend off for weeks."
Gee, I wonder why you're having trouble finding staff!

@researchfairy honestly growing up with floppy drives and CD-ROM drives, I'm nostalgic for media that actually ejects! if they made a USB port that could physically push out whatever was plugged into it I'd be super tempted to buy it and I can't be the only one
@protodrew@merveilles.town I'm reasonably certain that it's ctrlzujhos5xhqdjxh6zuh4adpid6z3xg2rfplatoab2dhbirs436pyd and that there's just an error in the writing, tbh
@njion@queer.party I don't know how this transfers to other countries, but in NL I've had good luck with off-brand batteries/inks/etc. in general by sticking with the 'private label' brands of well-known shops like 123inkt or ReplaceDirect. They're generally not much more expensive than whatever you might find on eBay, and these shops are unlikely to sell stuff that reflects poorly on them...

Fediverse? Ça c'est un anglicisme. Plutôt, on utilise «l'univers fédéré», ou «le fédé»
verkiezingen
"Op social media gaan meerdere onjuiste berichten rond over dat mensen die gaan stemmen op GroenLinks-PvdA in het stemhok twee bolletjes rood moeten inkleuren, in plaats van een."
Dat soort berichten verspreiden is dus gewoon verkiezingsfraude, he? En daar zal wel weer niets mee gedaan worden...

autism radar
I was reading a blog about ME/CFS and went: I think you're also autistic. Based on what you say about your experiences, and also how you phrase things.
Kept reading and had to scroll down to see the rest, where the blog continued:
Because I'm also autistic,
There. Stop all the expensive diagnostic processes. Just send me your blog post, I'll know.
