six hours of anxiety dreams about choosing the right telegram sticker
Last night of my stay-cation. Tomorrow I shall have to seem to care about work again! Boo!
who do i gotta blow to get a decent-tasting tomato in this town
@tanakiwah @hellamander well, certainly the shops with big user numbers. You can tell from the decisions they make that Facebook and Twitter also think like this.
@hellamander oh man I have this disease too! I have to force myself to remember that small, deep impacts like volunteer work are also valuable. (Also, for me it helps to remember that most of my "high risk high impact" professional career haven't actually amounted to much. It's better to meaningfully help 10 people than try and fail to help 10 million...)
@werecupine lol awesome. I have heard nothing good about the experience of using nextdoor so i've stayed off of it. Around here i assume it's just retired racists who want more parking lots so...?
I've finally gotten access to the Twitter API and my friends, their documentation is abject trash. It's literally thousands of short, detail-free "overview" pages which link to each other in a never-ending circle. This stuff was not written by anyone who understood the API, nor particularly wanted you to successfully use it.
@trysdyn @tilton oh i see. Right, it's not fully transitive like that. But it is true that any given instance can mis-handle any data that any of its users can see. I don't doubt that many of these instances are badly administered--- security holes, lack of backups, etc. But frankly for now I trust the incompetence of the fedeverse over the malevolence of the big social networks so... >.>
@werecupine @tanakiwah Worry not! Sam may visit your house someday

@tilton interesting! What are the stated reasons?
@dade my favorite is when Twitter analyzes my AD feed full of dicks and dildos and then shows me like, Wendy's burgers and Olive Garden pasta. Really?
TIL my stepmom has a pretty substantial weed stash. >.>
@hellamander this is genius

On a flight next to a couple guys in the sports fandom
- You are assigned a sportsona based on where you live, but can pick between a few species
- Your sportsona suit must come from an official source, though some bootleggers might have cooler stuff
- During a third of the year (based on species), dozens of sports cons are held every day, hosted by the local sportsona
- Millions of people keep track of who wins the dance comp at each con
- Look out, reg is super expensive for the popu-sports
@hellamander @dade This was definitely an aspect of suck from my last couple work years--- "i am here to solve problems using my technical expertise, please stop creating all these non-technical management problems that have to be solved first."
(Also hello from The Dalles OR!)
