@AasaMariaHedberg Åh vilka bra perpektiv! Kan bara hålla med i allt.
Boken jag läser just nu gör dessa reflektioner kring Computationalism, denna tro på att datorer kan ersätta oss i alla lägen, och har för mig övertygande argument kring hur mycket som försvinner när vi tar bort kroppen ur tänkandet och siffror ska försöka åstadkomma det som vi gör bättre analogt.
Men jag ska absolut skapa en särskild sådan bokmärkeslista som jag kan dela när jag hittar artiklar.

@moiety Thank you.
@LeoR1010 Åh vad roligt att du gillade det. Satt en stund innan jag postade. All de här formuleringarna dyker upp i mig hela dagarna men vet inte hur många som är med på vad jag är ute efter. Tack!
@maryellen
Does it have any connections to Sweden? Thinking of ”bak” which can refer to the act of baking but is also a word for butt.
@LeoR1010 Allt urvattnas när kostnaden blir noll för att producera innehåll 😢
@baslow Thank you! Those both look very interesting. I'm happy you interpreted my point so perfectly!
@micahflee
While I appreciate the intent, I can see a potential issue with imposed pressure to disclose your preference publicly. If 50 people wear white and 2 people wear red, those 2 people will also become noticeable in a way that may be the opposite of what they wished.
If you do not read the fine print, you may also miss that you will still be included in large group photos and the official video recordings. In those instances, red will also be easier to notice.

I'm not using Mastodon anymore but my solution so all this was to just use the web interface. I just added the web page to my home screen and since it's already a progressive web app that worked quite well.
It's what I'm doing with Akkoma now as well. Really no need to use apps in my mind.
@Beantin Yes, it is essentially five "normal" blog posts...
@ProfT Excellent point, thank you! I really would like to do a complete breakdown of his text, but time is my enemy,
@Beantin Yes, it will certainly be rare that I do these long ones. Max one per month. The raw audio is done and it's at 33 minutes. So right now looking like it will be very close to the Swedish one. There is intro and outro and the Frankenstein clip to add :) Don't know if I'll manage all that today.
The estimated reading time is an interesting one. Obviously it takes longer to read aloud, but I also think that in many cases it's easier to understand when you listen. Irony and sarcasm is more easily communicated with tone of voice, and people don't have to go back an re-read to make sure they got a certain point.
One of those cases where going slower (listening to the audio version) can give a better comprehension result than going faster by reading the text.

I think perhaps my biggest worry in all this is that I am seeing so many people become completely enamored with the tech. Even people I thought would/should know better. Which goes to my point, but also makes me realise how devastatingly this must fail before the world reacts in a more appropriate manner.
@kazarnowicz
Good quote, thank you, I shall remember to use it 😊
@fyrfli Exactly. 💚
@EndlessMason Haha, that would be the dream. 😂
@JackDeeth
Fair point 😁 But I do see people post valuable reflections there in article format. I just wish they realised how sad that makes me 😅
@jt_rebelo
I use maildrop.cc for many of these situations :)
@kev
Akkoma. I find it superior to Mastodon in ease of use and responsiveness. One thing is how it shows threads as hiearchical (who responds to who) but also loads and shows all replies. Mastodon does a really poor job of loading replies when there are several from different people, or even indicating that there are more replies you may want to see.
I can make lists without necessarily following the people on the list (don’t think Mastodon can do this).
Fun fact: it has “quote posts” but I never use them.
It also has a built-in search that actually works quite well to find stuff that has passed through my server. I’ve sometimes used it to find posts that I know I’ve seen but forgotten to bookmark,
I left Mastodon because it was becoming too bloated and memory-heavy but stayed with Akkoma because it is clean and fun to use.
@m was the one who pointed me to it and perhaps has more to say. Sometimes I forget about benefits I’ve become accustomed to.
oh yeah, I’ve escaped the Mastodon character limit and this didn’t have to be a clunky reply in the form of 2-3 posts.
@Ibex Haha, it did occur to me to build something like that, but of course there are already several plugins that can do it for you.
Such as this one:

@mjjzf
So true! 😂
