    Does anybody else have positive experiences with methylphenidate (Ritalin) and anxiety-management? #ADHD #Medication

    I have two micro:bits (v1), a calliope mini (v1), and a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ to donate to any project that could make good use of these. Let me know!

    I don&#39;t get to read much non-dissertation texts, lately. Finally finished Kimmerer&#39;s &#39;Gathering Moss&#39;, which is just such a poetic read. I love her storytelling, intimateness, and insights. Right away picked up her book &#39;The Serviceberry&#39; in a cute edition from &#39;Γ‰ditions Act Sud&#39;, a fantastic french publisher. Meanwhile got myself into &#39;Caliban and the Witch&#39; and suprisingly were hooked instantly. I was the impression that I don&#39;t have the capacity or...

    Super sad the blue jay wasn&#39;t included in the Wingspan Birds of Canada booster pack, but it makes sense (the blue jay doesn&#39;t give a f* about nations :nes_fire: ...). But I got to know this cutie, the α–αΈα“„αŠα–… (qupanuaq) ! Very happy they made the effort to research and use the Inuktut name of the bird. https://youtu.be/m_NE7ptqIiE #BirdsOfMastodon #Wingspan

    `goblin.sh` is super neat. I expected this to be a sideproject I&amp;#39;ll forget after a while, but I keep on working on it, and I keep on relying on it, which I really didn&amp;#39;t expect. Polished some of the rendering today and added some sparkles. https://asciinema.org/a/VGWnP202Dc4cldKS goblin basically lets me add whatever I come across and want to keep (local and remote files, websites, thoughts), and adds it together with a sprinkle of information to a csv. Mostly just simple aut...

    I repo-ed my `nano` setup for writing academic articles [1]. Pretty happy with how everything turned out so far, and I&amp;#39;m enjoying the simplicity of this a lot. I know `emacs` could do all of that, but we talked about this :drake_dislike: [1] https://codeberg.org/thgie/writing-setup #AcademicWriting #Minimalism

    End of spring in my town means, finally hearing the swifts giggle in the sky again. Also, observed a couple of kestrels circling a church tower. Guess I know now where they&amp;#39;re nesting. #Γ“rnistodon #BirdWatching

    RE: https://universeodon.com/@devsimsek/116472552957401849 I&amp;#39;m less interested in the mathematical prove and rather in the concept of &amp;#39;model collapse&amp;#39; and that it forgets what reality is like. That sounds wild. LLM is k-holeing? I mean, AGI is based on the wrong assumption that intelligence can scale, whatever that means. Intelligence is at best described as an assemblage of affordances and enactivism, and never not as a unit of measurement. That already creates a fallac...

    Thanks to @anmeisel I will never not forget the word #permacruciating. It came into being as an accident, but I have yet to discover a better summary of the current timeline we find ourselves in.

    I have never been more offended by a website&amp;#39;s typography. Sent me directly into #ADHD overdrive, and wondering what this does to people with dyslexia. Screenreaders should be fine, but still, wrapping every single word through JS in a span is nasty. https://www.audibleperspectives.ch/about #Accessibility #WebDesign

    I wanted to work on an are.na replacement and instead I wrote &amp;#39;goblin.sh&amp;#39;, a bash utility for collecting and managing a stash of items (notes, files, or web things). https://codeberg.org/thgie/goblin.sh Writing the script made me realize what I liked and disliked about other such tools, and what kind of relationship I actually want with such computing activities. Much thanks to @anmeisel, who gave a fantastic workshop on the intersection of #Permacomputing, literate programmi...
