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.

#Labor was correct to criticise the #Libs for preferencing #OneNation in the #SA #Election, but if it doesn't run a candidate in the #FarrerByElection it will be seen as giving up. #Preferences really count in shifting the agenda. Be principled like the #Greens

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. 3More about this quote: wist.info/stevenson-robert-lou…

What are your preferred #LLM or #GPT #Preferences or #SystemPrompts? Here's mine. If you need the text, it's in the #AltText of the image. Which are you using, and for what tasks? Does one work better for some tasks than others? I'm using #Claude mostly, but my work pays for #Gemini deluxe.

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.
Mastodon bug?

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! 😀

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"?

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.

Understanding how PreferenceManager in Android is a damn mess. There's so many ways to get one and values do not seem to be persisted properly, depending on the context, activity or phase of the moon.
I wish there was something as simple as UserDefaults in iOS for storing simple settings values. Most things in Android are just over designed and way more complex than 95% of users need them to be.

I applaud the concern about alt text. One of my best friends is blind, and I like to see her properly supported in her online experience.
But sometimes it works to ask people to edit posts to add alt text on images. Not everyone knows about alt text at all, and some people who try to include it forget sometimes, or don't realize they can edit it in after the fact. I try to always assume that this error, when it happens, is not an intentional slight, and so is a learning opportunity. And especially where good content would otherwise be lost, it seems worth the effort.
Mastodon has user preferences to make the absence of alt text show up visibly or to just filter out things that lack alt text ... BUT (strangely) it has no preference I can find that says "warn me if I'm posting something that would need such a flag". There should be such a preference and it should default to ON.
I consider it a major faux pas in design to beat someone up for something technologically when you could have just dissuaded or prevented the bad thing with an equal application of technology.
