Some more #wood #laser #engraving experiments. Added some white paint before engraving. I like the result. #MastoArt #bitwise #PixelArt #1bit #1bitart #generative

Protip:

When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,

"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes

I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

Honey bees have an interesting scouting and decision algorithm when looking for a new home.

@wizzwizz4 I'd like to have the option of my feed being less chronological, to smooth out time zone differences somewhat. I'd like to see toots of lower volume posters interspersed among those of higher volume posters, to diversify what I see. I'd like to see toots liked or interacted with by people I follow to be bumped up. Things like that.

Hot take: it is useful to add issues to your issue tracker even when it's technically an "upstream problem":

* it makes it easier to find the issue for others running into it
* it provides a place for users to share workaround for this particular instance of the problem
* it reminds you to help upstream fix it
* sometimes there is a fix in using upstream differently (or even replacing it)

Debian gets this right and even has some nice standardized metadata for this (https://wiki.debian.org/BugTriage#Working_with_upstream)
