  Fuck me, psychotherapy is so slow but it chips away at things like dripping water erodes the surface on which it lands. I'm undoing a lot of automatic behaviors I developed over my life until now. In order to do that, I had to first recognize what those behaviours are, but then also examine the moments in which they are triggered and figure out *why*. Sometimes it reveals yet another layer of instinctual belief that in turn must be deconstructed. (cont'd)

  Some recent #SteamDeck tinkering: I take video game screenshots like I was a photojournalist, and the default management experience on the Deck is *bruuuuutal*. The cloud storage would be perfect for me to access the images on my phone, but getting them into the cloud is a horrible one-by-one process. And ultimately I want to get those files off the Deck, since they occupy a good chunk of space. Well happily there's the whole Linux desktop environment at my disposal! ...Sort of! 1/n

  I kinda like the Google News app on Android, partly because it provides all available sources for each event. Plus, it lets me fine-tune the topics it covers—and what sources or topics I *don't* want it to provide. ...Well, up to a certain point, anyway. Like, I can block stories about Taylor Swift or figure skating or the province of Alberta. What I can't block: Murders. Shootings. Car crashes. Law enforcement. Sigh.

  Can anyone confirm that the company name "ULINE" is pronounced "you-line?" It's super petty but I make a point of mispronouncing the name of organizations I despise, and I've always used "oo-leen."

  @halcy@icosahedron.website I've done stuff with other application APIs before, where you can simply generate an auth token in your user settings (with the regular graphical UI), then plug that right into the API calls. Definitely simpler that way :BlobCat_SmilignOpenMouth:

  Once again I am messing around with the Mastodon API :A_BlobCat_Code: I intend to export my bookmarks, most importantly grabbing the full content and media of each bookmarked toot—because toots can expire or be deleted. I'm only doing this for myself, so it doesn't have to be pretty! However, authenticated API calls have to be done through an app registration. I guess the hot new Masto client "jsstaedtler_mucking_about_with_curl" will show up in the server logs...

  I have an obnoxious problem with crawlers eating bandwidth on my personal web site—not just the fact that crawlers consume so much bandwidth, but rather a behaviour that is absolutely next-level. And I think it's something that precludes the use of caching, but there are probably many of you with more knowledge than I have and who may know what can be done 🧵⤵️ #IndieWeb #WebDev #PersonalSite

  I will keep pointing out that decentralization is not the cure for shittified social networks, it's actually the owners and operators being *normal people with no profit motive*. The Fediverse is useful to us because it's a co-op, not a business.

  RE: https://wandering.shop/@jwilker/116331859253327652 Ah, here's what I've been looking for: a visual of where Integrity is along their planned path. They're still in Earth orbit, but a few hours from now they'll do a burn to leave orbit and head moonward. For a diagram that's more to scale, this page demonstrates some crazy upcoming gravitational tricks: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5610/ #artemis #artemis2 #nasa
