“I came up with this idea that children learn through play and adults play through art. So what we’re doing when we’re making art, and enjoying it I think, is we’re doing a kind of grown-up playing. But again, if you say ‘playing’ people think, Oh, so it’s not really serious then. But playing is fundamentally the most serious thing that we do, because it’s in playing that we model different futures.”

I remember wanting to participate in the previous #AdventOfCode and not finding the time like it was yesterday and WTF?!#? this year's Advent of Code starts in a few days!
I usually don't do sales but 1) I just quit my job and 2) I can really use some space. If you ever wanted to have one of my lovely lenticular #pixelart prints, now's the time!

I was just able to read a Dutch post that included two screenshots of Dutch text content, even though I don't speak Dutch. How?
- The poster had kindly included ALT text for the screenshots. ❤️
- Mastodon supports machine translation (your admin has to enable it). The feature translates ALT text along with the rest of the post.
This is just one small example of the many compounding effects of attention to #accessibility.
I love that the fediverse has a pulse.
I can notice when someone is online, goes on a posting binge, or when I've not seen them in a while.
Sometimes I even spot people delete or edit their posts right after they post them. I can see posts "making the rounds" until I get sick of seeing them.
I can see the patterns underneath -- the weekends, the seasons -- reflected in what people post about. Things speed up, or slow down.
When there's a pause, only the bots keep posting.
Beep boop.
280 million e-bikes are slashing oil demand far more than electric vehicles
E-bikes and scooters displace 4x as much demand for oil as all of the EVs in the world.
When we warn the real threat of AI is how it’s used against people in the present, not the fantasies that some day computers might think for themselves, this is exactly the kind of thing we’re talking about: health insurers using AI to deny care.
It’s easy to say with hindsight that NFTs are a stupid scam, but it was also pretty easy to say at the beginning and through the middle too.
