Thanks Steve. Agree, seeing A LOT of people doing coaching for example š
I guess part of it is I'm not a great salesperson and don't know how to break into some areas... like how do I approach a magazine to start writing a column, or what options there even are for working more on human rights issues.
I'm thinking too much and not "getting out there".
As I'm writing this I'm of course realising I should be using more of my UX expertise to approach all of thisā¦ *d'oh*

I don't think he is but I am hoping that'll get sorted with time.

Yup, we never should have started using them under the premises they dictated.
@bpedro
What I am highlighting though is everyone's option to not use their services. If private conversations aren't stored there, they will have nothing to turn over. I'd argue that a service like Signal, for example, is a much preferred option.

@Stoori Oh fantastic. The one context that won't actually give any clues! š

If the door would indeed slide upwards, the wording would more likely be "dƶrren glider uppĆ„t". The word "glider" contributes to confusion here I think, but it could just as likely be the door opening in a normal way (outwards from the wall), just more slowly and covertly. I had never thought about this much so it was an interesting question š.
Swedish is very weird sometimes. I can't immediately think of a similar use of "glider" in another context. Sometimes people "glider in i rummet" and it kind of signifies that they enter the room almost unnoticeably, or they do it in a smooth way. Can't really say out of context.
@danhon And it turns out a significant part of humanity can not. š¬

Good one. It blows my mind how often I click one of these articles these days and my infographic is the chosen illustration. Iām obviously glad, but also truly surprised by how broadly it appears to have spread.
Thanks for thinking of that Matt. I did move to Akkoma because I feel it is superior to Mastodon, at least for my purposes. The interface, search, threadingā¦ it just does what I want and expect. Perhaps I especially like that it doesnāt remind me of Twitter š
That said, it does require a bit of technical know-how to self-host and the available public instances for non-Mastodon software in general are not plentiful. Also, I still call it my āMastodonā username for people to understand how to follow me. The language does constrain expectations and doesnāt encourage exploration.
I think this will be different in a year or two when there will be more hosts offering a selection of Fediverse services. Thatās perhaps where I would like to see the most movement.
I agree completely with mccās observation about apps. But Iām also a person who rarely installs apps when web interfaces just work well and do the job.
So many different types of software already do exist and more people should be trying them out. Donāt know if youāve seen my infographic with links to the variety of services: The many branches of the Fediverse.

I feel like itās getting worse by the day. The same people who said it was cringeworthy that a Google employee thought a language model was sentient are talking about a new language model as if it is sentient. Iām having a really hard time reconciling with this media reluctance to understand, and explain, what is truly going on.
@qualitychaos Nice, you managed to disrupt the filter. Thanks for sharing.

@karllouis Have you been able to reach it now? I do think my site was overloaded with traffic at one point.

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing! I've been made aware that it treats masculine features differently but this was a brilliant test of that.
@ben According to the young people in the videos they themselves are surprised. They are surprised by the lack of glitches and artifacts, and the fact that they can cover half of their face with a mug and the filter is unchanged.
You're saying this level of quality has been going on for years?
