@toymango Wow, Pitfall! That was one of my favorite games on my Atari 800XL back in 1983 😮

@grishund Ja, jag har ju lyckats konsolidera genom åren och det känns bra. Att ha kvar men flytta in i samma sajt är ju roligast om man vill ha kvar innehållet publikt. Om det finns RSS-flöden kan du automatisera en sådan flytt.

@grishund HTTrack kan vara till hjälp. Om du inte vill använda terminalens wget, som kan en hel del trix också. httrack.com

I'm interested in writing a piece on tech colonization and specifically how Sweden took over the domain name .nu from the island state of Nieu in the South Pacific. Any insights, people I should talk to... shoot them my way. No rush.

@per_p Yes, if I install a workout/health app I may be doing so with the knowledge that notifications may benefit my overall health. Or notifications to take medication for example can help in cognitive distress. Important not to generalize I believe.
@per_p But I also of course see your point and think the proposition could be worded as "You have less free will if apps send notifications by default and intent to change that behavior requires significant effort (cognitive, physical or otherwise)." In which case I would agree ;)
Good thread on publication bias in science. x.com/callin_bull/st…

@per_p Trick question. "Allow" implies autonomous behavior and that act is the free will. Granted, phones can make it more or less difficult to exercise free will, but a notification can also be an expression of my free will.
This is such good and relevant content, and I long to read the published paper. Please read Karen's summary for some critical insights. #DigitalEthics #IStandWithTimnit x.com/_KarenHao/stat…

@wheelyweb @Ommwriter Yeah I know. Was hoping to not spend too much time on this - and for there to be a smooth software reset - but given that @Ommwriter are ghosting I'll do the complete delete stuff. Thanks Joe.
@wheelyweb @Ommwriter Changing screen resolution worked! 🙏
↪ Replying to @wheelyweb
@wheelyweb @Ommwriter Restart and even uninstall/reinstall didn't work. Haven't been in a situation where I can try a second screen (but I also suspect this caused the problem to behin with). Changing resolution I haven't tried! Will try tomorrow :)
Anyone know how to get a response from @ommwriter? I've also used the contact form on their site.
Or better yet, know the answer to my question... x.com/axbom/status/1…

As always, a healthy perspective from Tanmoy.
In my newsletter recently I wrote: "It's okay — expected even — to feel tired, low-spirited, mediocre, unprofessional." Assuming it's your duty to 'self-care' your way out of it will likely burden you more. x.com/toymango/statu…

@cydharrell Honestly this is a future scenario that has started to worry me. With all the message response suggestions, and now also formal suggestions when typing – if people start using these to a large extent we'll reach a point where we can't discern one voice from another.
