After a couple of live, in-person meetings run by a 95% remote company, I have learned two things:
1) My hearing aids are not up to the task of listening to anyone in a mid-sized conference room
2) When everyone's on Zoom I feel like I'm part of the company. When everyone gets together in person, my hearing problem makes me feel very alone.

Finally watched Mulholland Drive. That’s one I’ll have to think about.

Firefox has disappointed me recently by pivoting to AI, buying ad tech companies started by Meta veterans, and now they have a competes-with-chrome "privacy preserving" ad reporting function built in.
It's obvious that they have begun the process of selling their browser users to other interests in earnest. Unfortunately, there's nowhere else to turn at this point.
Here's what they claim the feature is and how they claim you can turn it off.

"It’s best to just write for yourself and not worry too much about what other people think. Everybody is going to think you’re just full of shit anyway. All writers are full of shit. I wish we were full of corndogs instead, but we’re just not." (Carlton Mellick III, Apeshit)

@npub150l…r96e the only thing I don’t like about audiobooks is there are still a lot of books that don’t have them.

OK, so I wanted to answer @npub1ztm…wrpw 's question about what's slowing down the adoption of new CSS features and I guess I had a lot to get off my chest.
Sorry about that.

Ooops, my update on how it's going learning to use Neovim turned into a diatribe about the dystopia of late-stage capitalism.

I am begging web designers and developers to *at least* respect a user’s OS-level “reduce motion” settings when they implement autoplaying video.

@npub150l…r96e "Sort by latest" is poison to IG / Threads / Facebook because it shows how little interaction they really get.
