There were so many things to think about, but they had to be curated.
Otherwise, she would use this precious time of silence to focus on things that didn't matter, items of "news" or current events to mentally grumble over, as opposed to deeply focusing and thinking upon those introspections within her heart, ones that were calling out to be heard.
Always remember, we are all entitled to our own opinions and we all get to choose what we use as far as software, hardware or anything else in this world. Just because YOU don't like something doesn't mean everyone else should not like it as well.
If you continually try and shove your opinion down my throat and try to force me to change what I use, I will simply block you and move on.
It's not appropriate, nor is it wanted or needed. It's actually quite DISRESPECTFUL!
Thoughts, feelings, perceptions are just that: thoughts, feelings and perceptions. They arise, stay for a while and cease. They're not you, not yours, not self.
What if Mastodon had a way to save the ALT text you entered each time you used a new image. So if you used the same image later, it would some how know what you used the last time and give you the option to automatically use that instead of having to type something each and every time.
Seems to me there would be some way to be able to do this easily and to save all of us time from having to type the same thing for ALT text on a regular basis.
Perseverance is admirable. Yet, it's also brave to say "I can't do this anymore" and make a plan to walk away from situations and people that are toxic and unhealthy.
"In my opinion, they are the finest men I have ever beheld [...] To see a white man bathing alongside a Tahitian, was like comparing a plant bleached by the gardener’s art to the same growing in the open fields."
He was “much disappointed in the personal appearance of the women; they are far inferior in every respect to the men.”
However "either they are not as handsome as they were said to be, or my ideas are fastidious".
The quiet, pervasive devaluation of frontend - Josh Collinsworth
Here is a long article that's well worth your time, on the perception of the craft of front end development. Lots of quote-worthy thoughts in there.
(…) If our skills are valuable as duct tape over the cracks of organizational shortcomings, why aren’t they valuable during the planning and decision-making that led to those defects, when we could potentially prevent them?
(…)
Frontend tools market themselves as though frontend is something no one wants to do, and nobody should care about any more than they have to.
(…)
It seems like nobody thinks of frontend as a critical part of the product anymore; they only think of it as the nice box the product arrives in.
hello, man of the new millennium, 21st century. Have you been able to realize yourself? was it able to achieve what the 19th-century science fiction #writers wrote? Look at yourself, man. You live in a house that is not your (a mortgage), drive a car that does not belong to you (debt), you get #money that depreciates before you buy anything, you have finished your studies but still haven't paid 40,000 tuition fees and most likely won't pay in the next 5 years. You can't afford to live the way you want and your home is no longer your fortress. You're alone. You don't belong to yourself.

Когда-то я пришёл в Jabber и говорил апологетам XMPP, что он никак не защищён от спама. Тогда они говорили мне, что у них такая крутая матан-капча, что её не пройдёт даже их родная мать.
Уже давно, как только я посмотрел на то как выглядят инструменты модерации Mastodon, я говорю, что в федивёрсе тоже нет никакой защиты от спама, кроме того, что мы, как и пользователи jabber тогда, пока нахуй никому не нужны.
Пока что два лучших решения, которые я видел сегодня - это когда dansup добавил в Pixelfed блокировку по ключевым словам из .env-файла и чьё-то предложение внести в федиблок серверы, которые пострадали от нашествия учёток ботов.
Если первое - это более-менее разумная реакция, чтобы справиться с проблемой прямо сейчас, то в целом, если честно, это всё выглядит крайне несерьёзно.
Интересно, сколько ещё таких тупых инцидентов должно произойти чтобы кто-то начал работать над этим вопросом?
И да, я каждый раз смотрю с ухмылкой на заявления в стиле что "а вот в корпоративных сетях со спамом тоже не борются - я там ботов видел!".
Этим людям стоило бы понять, что то, что они видели - это остатки, которые проскользнули через работающий антиспам, а то, что они видят тут - это просто шалости каких-то малолетних долбоёбов, от котороых и прикрыться-то нечем кроме разрывов связности в сети 👏
К сожалению, большинство довольствуется поверхностными наблюдениями.
