All right, that's it, dishonor

Moving to a 1-guy pod, where the only person whose mood swings dictate who federates / defederates with me is myself

I'm sure there are arguments on all sides of all this, I've voiced mine, to which I'll add:

* I'm too tired of the BS and drama to have to meander left and right on my social media
* My social media have a job to do for me, and not the other way round
* If you don't own it, you're owned by it

Stand by for updates from new acct, inshallah.

Spotted this dude out in the garden, wondering what will become of it?

Get you a person who freezes the top row of a spreadsheet

Eine #Strava und #Komoot Alternative im #Fediverse inkl. Nutzung von #OSM wäre doch was geiles

Würde ich direkt als Projekt angehen, wenn ich die notwendigen Skills hätte

I put all my midsummer optimism into this thing about the aliveness of our networks and platforms and tools, and why I think the systems stuff is worth getting right.

The Guardian

For an assignment on a #LearningDesign / #Gamification course, i used Twine & itch.io instead of the usual Storyline or Articulate suspects.

The end result was 400Kb instead of suspected 4Mb, and punk AF instead of Dunder Mifflin corporate.

Chuffed to bits.

Puffin In Bluebells.

The Isle Of Lunga is always a special place to visit and spend a few hours, but right now, with both the sea pinks and bluebells in bloom, it's heavenly.

Making #EveOnline more #Silesian, one ship at a time. It actually took me some time to come up with all of these.

Also from this media outlet, I'm sure:

"420 reasons to stay away from listicles"

"Help - I have no time in the mornings to do the nine things"

Ya gotta be pretty low on irony + empathy to think that the answer to everyone's "scatterbrained" is to pack their mornings with the same 9 (nine! NEIN!) things. FWIW, the dude on the photo looks like he's happy to stops where I usually stop each morning: thing two: coffee.
