If you're not careful, life will make you bitter and hard. Allow yourself some softness and room for growth.

In German, there's a term for the time from Xmas to the 6th of January: "Zwischen den Jahren", which means "between the years". I rather like the idea of a time between the years, somehow out of time itself.

I guess the thing CS continuously gets wrong is: people think in stories, not in mathematical structures. Even when people do maths, it's in the form of stories (proofs). Maybe, if we want computers to more closely follow our will, we should work on translating these stories into instructions.

In response to twitter's brand guidelines: mastodon's elephant friend is in fact an elephant (fluffy), and also a friend. you can draw him with other elephants, he likes company

Since it is coming up again:

Mastodon isn't private.

Expect anything you toot to be visible to everyone, regardless of your settings for visibility.

Mastodon is built on a system that isn't appropriate for private conversation and the work arounds for private toots and the like are not in any way robust against someone just ignoring them.

When I started using twitter, it was an internet place where I'd meet new people. Through events and stuff I then met around 2/3 of my followers and it became a bit more like Facebook for me.

My weird twitter account then became the primary vent for things I didn't directly want to share, but weird twitter got completely destroyed in the US election.

And now, this, feels a lot like twitter did for the first few years: something fresh and new, full of interesting exciting people. I like that.
