  5. The pineapple pizza debate isn't about food—it's manufactured tribal warfare that lets you perform strong opinions about something completely meaningless while avoiding actual substance.

    It should be no surprise to most that dating is not an economic endeavour (with some obvious exceptions). In this blog post and associated podcast, I articulate why.

  18. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    To know what you like is the beginning of wisdom and of old age. Youth is wholly experimental. The essence and charm of that unquiet and delightful epoch is ignorance of self as well as ignorance of life. These two unknowns the young man brings together again and again, now in the airiest touch, now with a bitter hug; now with exquisite pleasure, now with cutting pain; but never with indifference, to which he is a total stranger, and never with that near kinsman of indifference, contentment.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1888-09), “A Letter to a Young Gentleman who Proposes to Embrace the Career of Art,” Scribner’s Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 3

  27. !important poll about cookies (the edible kind).

  28. This is odd. Due to my timeline being an absolute firehose, I changed my settings to only show English-language posts, then did a full page refresh "just in case" to get the setting to stick.

    Today I've seen at least one post in my timeline which was (a) not boosted by anyone, much less by someone I follow, (b) not posted by someone I follow, and (c) Mastodon recognized that it was not in English, because it offered me the translate option/link.

  34. I keep getting pissed at folks who are still putting content on #Substack, other folks who promote that content, and then myself for going, 'hey, this sounds interesting' and then clicking on those links before realizing it until it's too late. Well, duh. I just remembered we have this cool feature here called #Filters. Problem solved! 😀

  35. I found, in preferences in the Mastodon web UI, an option:

    > Enable quick boosting
    >
    > When enabled, clicking on the Boost icon will immediately boost instead
    > of opening the boost/quote dropdown menu. Relocates the quoting action
    > to the (Options) menu.

    So (if it works, haven't tried yet) it fixes the double-the-number-of-steps-to-boost problem. But why put the quote-post function on the *options* menu? Double you tee eff.

    Surely it should be with "reply"?

  36. This is so funny. Everything this person represents is why I'm actively choosing to avoid hotels, especially the fancy ones. None of his likings is something I would personally chose. Different worlds.

    Obviously he's the expert and that's why we have the hotels we have.
