i'm really annoyed that mastodon shows me things that are in my local database, then stops showing them when people on other instances take actions (e.g. block, delete). that should never happen. i'm going to have to implement activitypub myself, i think. :(

i wish lightroom's fs management worked more like beets.

super bummed that zfs's licensing kept macOS from getting any data-checksummed filesystems. intellectual property laws are a plague upon the earth.

one of the best things about browsing twitter logged out now that i've been suspended is that all the famous people (like paulg and pmarca) that have blocked me are now readable again

i think i would be more okay with my neighbor playing music loud enough to hear it in my office if their taste in music weren't terrible

why is there no decent modern file transfer over http protocol? webdav is lame and naive POSTing of one-file-one-request is lame and unresumable

Andrew Cuomo is a charismatic guy, strangely enough, despite not fitting the usual stereotype of a charismatic person. Until this crisis I'd never watched him speak very much, now I've seen him a lot and I'm surprised.

linux is so mainstream and macs are so common that linux doesn't have an in-kernel driver for the *keyboard* in the ultralight macbook8,1 released five years ago: https://everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=MacBook8,1

why isn't there a nonprofit that simply makes sure that common linux distros work on each mac apple releases?!

whoever is running the cdc's social media right now is doing a total shit job. i subscribed to their youtube channel with alerts, and wow are they squandering their subscribers' time and attention spans right now.

organizations should have codified and quantified prioritization plans in place for social media queues during various types of events. low-priority things should be ceased or delayed during special circumstances.

how do i disable the mastodon rate limits? my PaaS app requires that docker be in swarm mode which invokes the idiotic userspace proxy which means all requests are coming in from the same 1918 IP and breaking the rate limiting
