Friday Links 23-16

Clearly, work hasn't been on my mind this week. The podcast about the future of work is a nice crossover between work and urbanism.

The drought in Spain is still depressing and has been going through all the news.

Some questions in job application forms are quite existential.

Man sollte diesen Brüllbikern den Lärm ihrer Motorräder dauerhaft in die Helme einspielen. Vielleicht würden diese Arschlöcher ja dann irgendwann mal was merken.

Digital wellbeing move of the week: I set up an e-mail address for the sole purpose of signing up to newsletters. From idea to action in just 3 years, wow.

What are some rad newsletters to sign up for?

The podcasts about the creator of LZ4 and the one about happiness science were interesting and entertaining.

I know the last WGA strike is largely credited with destroying HEROES which went from an amazing S1 to a completely unwatchable S2

But the show I mourn most is the tragically uncelebrated LIFE starring Damian Lewis, Adam Arkin, Sarah Shahi, and Christina Hendricks. I could have watched another 5 or 6 seasons of Charlie Crews and friends

Rad things about mastodon we take for granted

CW - these are amazing

Editing posts - hard to go back once you taste this

Alt text as the norm - total community enforcement

Replies - option to delist them so we don’t clog the feed

Timeline curating - we have near infinite timeline options with filters, lists, local, federated, hashtags etc

Muting - we can choose a time period!

Character count - 500 let’s you get an effing thought out

Ownership - we can own the damn thing ourselves

> Half of Vinyl Buyers in the US Don’t Have a Record Player, New Study Shows

I can kinda understand - there's been many vinyls that I've considered buying in the last 25ish years when I've not had easy access to a record player. On the other hand, I didn't buy any of them which somewhat undermines my understanding.

(Also if you buy collectible vinyls from places like Bandcamp, you get the downloadable / streamable version free anyway - you don't need a record player to listen to it.)

#Mastodon (or at least the #Fediverse) can succeed #Twitter. But debates here are mostly about features still needed (QT, onboarding etc.).

Here's some content, I'm still missing. All of this is already here to a degree, but not as much as on Twitter.

1. #BreakingNews
2. Experts explaining interesting stuff ("A Thread")
3. Links to interesting articles, that I wouldn't have found otherwise
4. Long running topics like #IranRevolution
5. Funny commentary

What did I miss?

Can we make the fediverse the welcoming-est place in social media?

We’re a soft-launching a new welcoming committee. All you have to do is reply to introduction posts to say hello and offer help.

We hope you’ll follow @welcoming and mention to the group how many people you welcomed, so we all know that we’re working as a team.

You can point people to https://SpreadMastodon.org, https://discover.fedified.com, or any other resources you like!

Probably doing it wrong but this doesn't bode well. No bikepackers, no cyclists on Mastodon? (There are a few, but they all seem only interested in moaning about mobility and traffic issues and that, dear friends, I can have (and dislike to no end in the meantime) on twitter also...

Is there something similar to @fedibikes but strictly for nerding about bikestuff and nice tours and events (sans all that traffic stuff?)
