Me, at the last day of #gpn20: "I didn't expect them to accept all three talks, after preparing and holding them all, I feel like I need a vacation."

Me, one day later: "I wonder what talks I'll submit for Congress this year"

there should be a free hosting service where you can only upload a single html file to your account, but pointing a domain to it is free

thinking about how one of my Gmail accounts is so old it was in the closed beta (back when you really did need to know someone to get an invite and they didn't just give em out)

back when the reaction to a new Google product was "fuck yes" and not "oh god why"

Standard procedure for kids that can't deal with school: referral to child psychiatry, neuropsychiatric assessment, neuropsychiatric diagnosis and medication.

Procedures almost never seen: (1) an attempt to understand the kid and adapt the environment to make things work, (2) holistic perspective involving the kid's entire world, not only school.

The internet having become a Space For Ads bothers me beyond words. Not only are we being bombarded with increasingly more desperate and manipulative drivel intended to get one to consume seventy flavors of the same worthless crap, the fact that ad companies have such say in what gets put on platforms to the point of censoring or removing completely normal and/or important words from our lexicon in the places they're most likely to be seen by people who need access to those words.

how did we go from web apis being like "woah you can connect different services and use cool data from them to make cool stuff" to "here's an expensive api that literally just makes the first few letters in each word bold"

Mind blown...

Continuing to post this because I still do not have anywhere to live other than back with my parents.

Hi my name is Hearth and I'm a trans woman in Florida.

My lease is up at the end of the month and I'm trying desperately to find work and somewhere to live. If you know of someone or somewhere with space, so I don't end up with family. If you have anything, please let me know!

If anyone knows somewhere that might be hiring, preferably remote, I have a ton of experience in tech and will gladly apply.

May not happen soon, but the possibility exists that Netflix can just shut down, and all of the media they've produced will be lost.

It'd be a good idea to pirate/download your favorite series/movies from Netflix since they haven't made any physical copies.

TIL newton’s pendulum has way more „moves“ than I originally thought it has (never owned one myself and just always saw one in films etc.)

Since Mastodon is the elephant app, that makes all other social networks irrelephant.

just as foretold, within 10 minutes a barefoot nerd emerged from the tram, ran to us, and quickly handed over a 3 meter long postcard, as shown here

At #GPN20 @ln got a SIP call from Chaos Post while we were doing some grocery shopping. I'm paraphrasing here a bit
