🪑⑁💺 Looking for home office chair recommendations. 🪑⑁💺

I work from home full time. I spend 8 hour plus extra at night sometimes for study sessions / programming hobbies. Fairly regular sized person, looking for back support - I currently sit at the edge of my seat for some reason. Probably not good.

Willing to spend some money on this, although I will mumble and grumble about it.

Thanks!

My brain decided to bring up this memory for no reason today. Cereal box records. Back in the day, kid cereals would add cardboard records on the back of their boxes. You could cut them out and play them on any normal record player. The grooves were made with thin plastic and songs were pretty short.

Sound was horrible. But fun.

Embarrassing. I absolutely believed Phanpy did not have quote posting capabilities. I have even been jumping over to a different app on the rare occasion I use that feature, copying the post url, etc. over so I could find it. 🤦‍♂️

How could I miss it? The only thing I can think of is that at one time it didn't have them (I have been a Phanpy fan for a very long time), so I just blinded myself to them not being there out of habit.

I even run my own personal phanpy client instance. :psyduck:

A new fediverse iOS app called fedicat @technicat (TestFlight) has a feature I’m calling “bloosts” which is a boost and a like in one button. I love it.

Now I want a “bloostmark” that boosts, likes and bookmaks a post at the same time. 😅

Installed the docker of IceShrimp.NET, which isn't even in beta yet. I have a few installs under my belt now (Mastodon, Bonfire, GoToSocial, etc.) so I know the basic drill, but this was still a pretty easy install.

In the branch I used, there's no front end yet. Phanpy, Elk and Enafore handled at least the basic posting requests so the API is solid.

So cool to see dotnet code in the fediverse! Follow me @box464 :)

I've got some thoughts about how the tech world ignores the needs of users with cognitive disabilities like dementia. Hit me hard this week.

There are degrees of dementia. Some people live with mild or moderate forms for years and deserve respect, dignity and as much freedom as we can offer them. That includes access to the internet.

Have you ever watched a movie that had a moment that made no sense and it just went on like it didn't happen?

"It Follows", a horror film from a few years back had this - a random scene where some teenagers are hanging out watching TV when one pulls out a plastic seashell, flips it open, and it's some kind of e-reader / telephone with circular screens?

There's no further mention of it in the movie.

WTF. I still think about it to this day!

I watched a few of the ChatGPT 4o demos today and what disturbs me isn’t the usage, but the men’s behavior demoing it.

Most of the time, the voice assistant was a female voice. When the AI didn’t do exactly what was desired or they just wanted to move forward, they would interrupt it in mid sentence and ask it something else.

It gave me the same perceived emotion as when I saw this video for the first time. Sad and sick to my stomach.

A robot attempting to keep its balance, while a man comes in and kicks it down, harshly.

It’s good to know Bluesky has the same issue explaining the concept of Unlisted…I mean…Quiet Public…I mean…Discouraged visibility…posts.

@stefan provides the fediverse with a lot of great apps and research. Go give his work a gold star (seriously, that's all he's asking for).

I don’t know what is more disappointing. Batgirl’s “hacking” skills or Batman’s password choices.

I'm gay/cis and in some situations, passing for whatever straight means if you don't look too close at my sparkles.

But not when I visit my rural hometown.

I know what it is to be bullied. To be dismissed by loved ones. That sinking feeling you get in your stomach when you realize you don't feel safe somewhere.

I also know that is nothing in comparison to what others continue to battle.

Safe spaces are precious things and even I forget that sometimes.

It's good to be reminded.

I see some conversations again about how Mastodon Link Previews work. Here’s my research on that topic from last year.

@eleventy needs your support. This is a project I've had a lot of fun with on a personal level, and also started using it for a small documentation project at work now, very successfully.

I appreciate these Lil' Linux Lessons, because all my linux experience has been self taught. I've often found things that most people just assume you know...I don't. Follow @vkc for more.
