#Harvard University researchers find that #sadness (hopefully better defined in the research) is the triggering factor in most addictive behavior in those with a propensity for addiction. Smoking was particularly addressed. I'd like to see a study on hopelessness as an addiction trigger https://www.fastcompany.com/90450668/harvard-researchers-discover-one-negative-emotion-triggers-most-addictive-behaviors

I'm looking for anyone who'd be willing to be interviewed or have a chat about their experiences of using technology in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s as part of a #DigiPres project to document the growth and change in that time.

Please drop me a reply or DM if you're interested.

Who am I looking for? Software people, gamers, enthusiasts, fellow nerds... anyone who used and/or loved technology around the start of the PC boom and birth of the WWW around the world.

If you wear glasses, are they clean? Take a moment and clean them up so you can see a little better.

as a pliable piece

words to the rhythm

Does anyone know what happened to @shivian@mastodon.xyz ?

the fediverse is the person who can't find their glasses because they are wearing them except it's not glasses it's a gender

Realistic hacking montage: someone starts trying to write a script, Googles a question on StackExchange, reads a Reddit thread, navigates over to TV Tropes, starts looking up something about a famous band on Wikipedia, starts playing Minecraft, starts looking at their email, and suddenly remembers they're supposed to be writing a script.

They now have 20 tabs open, and three hours have gone by.

fun facts of the day:

🌿 one in two thousand people are born with genital variations outside of medical definitions of male or female (i.e. intersex)

🌻 but as many as two percent of all humans have a chromosomal, hormonal, internal or external variation that falls outside of medical expectations of male or female

🌟 intersex is a normal and COMMON variation of the human experience! binaries are not real, in the natural world or in society!

Folks into #gamestudies, #gamedesign, #interactioncriticism, #HCI take a look at Kieran Nolan's PhD thesis "The Art, Aesthetics, and Materiality of the Arcade Videogame Interface". Kieran designed and built a number of arcade cabinets with technologies from the mid-80s to the late 90s to explore the aesthetics of video game interfaces as digital material.
The thesis is open access http://www.tara.tcd.ie/handle/2262/90862
