Everyone saying that it was better when the Ever Given was still in the canal is just jealous that she’s the only one that was able to get out of the rut she was stuck in this year 🙄
I was granted access to the Obsidian mobile app (still pretty beta) as a supporter. I've linked it to my desktop vault using Obsidian Sync, and I'm really excited to have it!
Yeah I've got an NFT:

Sometimes, actually often, I think democracy is overrated. I'd like to try a system where some unrealistically capable, and beneficial AI governs us for a while. You know, just to see if a rational system works better. 🤔
I'm about halfway though this article about how Facebook approaches themes such as content recommendation, bias in AI, extremism on the platform, and more. Very revealing, and remarkable journalism! Well worth reading.
How Facebook got addicted to spreading misinformation

How I use Obsidian to prepare for and run my DnD games. Really enjoying using Obsidian for notes generally.
It was a fresh morning for a walk in Modi’in, Israel. I went for a short walk before work, and enjoyed a cool start to the day. Just a day in the life of many residents of my city. #adayinthelife https://goo.gl/maps/iaKMKDvLT5HGHyjV8
My weekend has become all about geeking out with Obsidian, Roam Research and methodologies for creating dynamically linked personal knowledgebases. 😍 📝 https://obsidian.md
If anything's going to keep FOSS alive it won't be web-scale upstream-owning megacorps, and it won't be yesterday's problematic icons alienating everybody they talk to today.
It's gonna be you, doing stuff you think is cool and helping other people do stuff they think is cool.
Sheesh, I'm really not that coherent at the moment. It's been a long week!
I just watched @phildini's #PyCon2019 talk about Mastodon and Python: https://youtu.be/3AQZfXG-ZXs
I'm pretty keen to try his script out. Enjoyed this talk! 😁
I think I'm slowly getting my head around how to use Mastodon. I thought I could use my site-based identity instead, but it looks like I'll need to add a couple features to my site to be able to display toots/mentions on my Author page.
As much as I want something like Mastodon to succeed and even best Twitter, I rarely remember to come here in the first place.
