The MIla air purifier is one of the best products I have ever backed on Kickstarter.

I know the US west coast air is getting better now, but if you want to prepare for the next wild fire, you can save $50 with the discount code MILAPALS this week.

I just mistyped LinkedIn dot com as KinkedIn dot com and I was disappointed that domain was not something more titillating.

Did your employer participate in the #StopHateForProfit boycott in July?

We raised awareness, but Zuck dismissed our demands. The protest must continue. Here is a template for raising the issue at your next all hands meeting.

Can someone explain GAIA-X to me? I read it’s technical architecture PDF, but it seemed like a nonsensical assemblage of AWS and Kubernetes words, despite its repeated assertions of being a “user-friendly infrastructure ecosystem”.

“Wikipedia is an MMORPG” is a helpful metaphor for explaining why contributing to Wikipedia is painful to me but delightful for others.

@da@mastodon.technology Turns out, I was not crazy! The contrast algorithm is fundamentally broken and WCAG is trying to fix it. #a11y https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/695

2,977 people died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

188,000 Americans have died from #COVID19. That’s a 9/11 every day for 2 months.

Americans accepted security theater, unwinnable wars, and giving up civil liberties to stop terrorists—but trumpers won’t even wear fucking masks.

I never want to work in an office again, but I do miss hanging out with friends in meatspace in my non-work time. #COVID19

I am trying to spend a lot of money on a sit-stand desk and companies in Sverige are doing everything possible to not sell to me.

Customer service in this country sucks. It is almost like companies do not want to make money.

@markosaric I just saw it recommended on Netflix. Going to watch it based on your recommendation and ironic observation.

TIL from “Explained” by Vox on Netflix: the theory behind the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator was created by someone obsessed with astrology (Carl Jung).

Sharing just in case you needed more evidence that the personality test is bullshit.

@markosaric For real. Hope it helps them win an election to justify the bad behavior.

People using Apple EarPods sound 10× better than people using Apple AirPods. Be considerate of the person you’re meeting with and embrace the wire.

Obviously, China’s one child policy went horrifically wrong. I am not considering that extreme.

More like public service announcements espousing the benefits of communal parenting and not reproducing more than twice so that every child born has a chance of an inhabitable planet.

According to scientists, there is a strong correlation between pandemic risk and population density.

If we care about the future of humanity living on a survivable planet, should we be considering public policy to encourage—but not require—people to birth fewer children?
