It makes me sad how Twitter is doing weird things this days…
need to stop being on the internet so much
Imagine how long history classes will be in 100 years

If I could convince Mastodon at large of only one thing, it would be this:
if you see someone complaining, DO NOT give them advice.
If someone ASKS for advice, offer it.
But 90% of the time, someone complaining is just venting. They're not telling you the whole story, and they're not receptive to being given advice, because in that mental state, your "good-natured advice" is their "HERE'S HOW YOU'RE DOING THIS WRONG".
Do not respond with advice unless it's asked for.

<< Fazit: Das Zuckerberg-Treffen war eine große Enttäuschung, das dürften selbst seine Organisatoren so sehen. Der Facebook-Chef hat auf praktisch nichts geanwortet und das EP mit läppischen Antworten abgespeist. Es gab keinen Dialog. Ein Schmierentheater. #Zuckerberg #Facebook https://t.co/zq5e7LYZS8 >>

There are over 253 million blind or visually impaired people in the world. To make the world more accessible to them, we need to build tools that can work with the ever-changing environment around us. Google's new Android app Lookout, coming to the Play Store in the U.S this year, helps people who are blind or visually impaired become more independent by giving auditory cues as they encounter objects, text and people around them.
Google recommends wearing your Pixel device in a lanyard around your neck, or in your shirt pocket, with the camera pointing away from your body. After opening the app, and selecting a mode, Lookout processes items of importance in your environment and shares information it believes to be relevant — text from a recipe book, or the location of a bathroom, an exit sign, a chair or a person nearby. Lookout delivers spoken notifications, designed to be used with minimal interaction allowing people to stay engaged with their activity.
There are four modes to choose from within the app: Home, Work & Play, Scan or Experimental. When you select a specific mode, Lookout will deliver information that’s relevant to the selected activity.
The core experience is processed on the device, which means the app can be used without an internet connection. But seeing it uses the camera a lot of battery capacity may be needed!

@Warcat I am also new, so there might be ways I don't know about. But as I understand it, merged instances are essentially what your federation timeline is - though it's very busy.
I have been following people from different instances who boost a lot to get that sort of overview.
Please let me know if you get more information - I'm keen to learn.
Young male business professionals are currently talking very loudly and playing ping pong next to me while I’m very obviously trying to listen in on a web meeting. How would you handle these folks?
1. Shriek at them to shut the fuck up before you kill them
2. Find their desks and log into their computer, then open ten browser tabs to gay porn, bestiality and Fox News.
3. Walk over and start playing ping ping with your hands then take the ball and run away.
I'm convinced that 90% of the web is designed by people who've never been online.
does anyone know if it is possible to merge my accounts on other instances into one? that would be great because I don't want to check every instance so see if anything happened there and I don't want to remember every instance (adress).
so what is everyone doing?

Step 1: Write the thing.
Step 2: Notice it has a word limit and panic.
Step 3: Check word count. It's one word under.
