This thread about computers and how they've recedntly(ish) evolved in a way that absolutely sucks for users is very worth your time: https://retro.social/@ajroach42/99882571926573176
For anyone on Turtle Island (North America) who's interested in the ancestors who walked the land you're on, and learning about those who remain, take a look here:

URGENT NOTICE. Very sorry but the recent code patch introduced a bug; some users are mindlocking on thinking in the first person. Everyone hopes to have a patch soon but meanwhile try thinking of yourself in the third person or in passive voice. If this is too difficult contact your thoughtadmin. They can set you in a temporary local groupmind, which seems to avoid the problem. Reflective mono-minds look immune too, if you don't want to be in a true ensemble. Again, sorry for the trouble.
I wrote a post about my first day volunteering at the Washington Talking Book and Braille Library! It was a great experience! Though, be warned: during my volunteering, I learned about a tech company that has seriously pissed me off, and rant about it a bit towards the end of the post.

warning about Choice Hotels
Maybe it takes my particular brand of ADD to make this kind of mistake, but at no point did the booking process actually *ask* me for a set of dates -- and it defaulted to today's date -- so I accidentally made an uncancellable reservation for tonight at a hotel 4 hours from here.
