looks like gitlab suffers from the same false centrality disease like mastodon.social. despite being selfhostable, everyone goes to the one server and it's now completely overloaded (also i guess there are no other public instances and they still don't have federation, which makes it even more sucky)

Protect your schedule, including the empty time.

don't tell me what to do

I can't stress this enough: Adopt older dogs.

The shelter thought that she was around 8 and said "give this sweet girl her retirement home!" Considering that we were first-time dog owners, we thought that a chill dog was what we needed.

She runs circles around us, even after three years. She's never had an accident in the house. She loves kids. She never leaves our sides.

And two weeks after we brought her home, she alerted me that I was going to have a seizure. She still does this.

PSA: It's okay to be wrong about stuff. We're all learning. The people who value us enough to share what they know should be appreciated, not villianized. I sure appreciate the people who helped educate me.

One of the problems with self hosting (other than the question of archiving I recently posed) is that it leads to alienation. “Mine! Mine! Host your own!” When in fact I would love to have small groups of people share. Not many of us, to be sure. Ten or twenty at most. Where everybody can be heard without us paying the cost of #consensus democracy. The price is real, sadly. The German Wikipedia article is better than the English one in explaining, I’m afraid: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konsensdemokratie

Protect libraries at all cost

Trans Pride Seattle could use a little help, they lost a bunch of money unexpectedly from sponsors backing out and gov't funding disappearing.

if any of you happen to start a revolution that nationalizes microsoft or turns it into a worker's coop or whatever, please tell them to add a freaking compose key to the u.s. keyboard layout, okay?

Do you have reason to believe that maintaining a permanent paracosm (a vivid inner world) is a drain on one's personal psychic/energetic resources, such that it would be harmful to have one? Or perhaps only harmful to have a very large/detailed one?

I've read a couple of occultists who thought it was important for these to be only small or makeshift in order to keep it from being harmful. I've spoken to other occultists who believed it was important and necessary for an occultist to maintain a permanent one, and didn't dream of any risks. Paracosms appeal to me, but I want to be informed about the risks... if occult experience can even be universal enough to agree on details like that. What's your experience with this?

"Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window." - Steve Wozniak

No. He was not talking about Microsoft, he meant those IBM mainframes don't work for you, and you should only trust your personal computer.

And you should absolutely not to trust that piece of water vapor floating in the sky that claims it's doing computation for you...
