我记得某天，我们正和爸爸一起给煤炭装袋。天气严寒，冷雨凄凄·我们只有头上区区的铁皮屋顶挡风遮雨，非常难熬

因为如果当天不把炭卖掉，我们可能就吃不上饭了。

真的。但那时我就在想，并且坚信:“早晚有一天，一切都会好起来的。”

我好起来的一生，全都拜足球所赐
…………………………

当时的局面非常搞笑，因为我父亲一直是纽维尔老男孩的铁粉，而我母亲是罗萨里奥中央的死忠·

如果你不是罗萨里奥人，你永远无法理解双方球迷间的激情和敌对·真叫一个你死我活!每次两队踢德比时，我父母就发疯狂吼，为每一粒进球喊破喉咙·

最终获胜的一方会奚落另一方整整一个月。

推荐两个实用（？）的fedi bot应用（主要是因为发现已经很久没人用了，不知道是不是很多新朋友没见过这俩bot）

@plants 可以ai识别植物图片（最好在toot里标明是花/叶/枝干）

@songs 可以根据输入的歌名/艺术家，调用Spotify的歌曲推荐生成类似歌单

Everyone tells you "drink more water" but no one tells you "just close your browser tabs".

You're not going to get round to reading all the stuff in there. Just close them. Bookmark stuff instead if it looks useful/interesting to go back to.

Seriously, it's making your whole computer run slow.

Every moderator you pay to reduce harassment draws a salary at the expense of your shareholders, and every catastrophe that moderator prevents is a catastrophe you can't turn into monetizable attention as gawking users flock to it.

So social media sites are always trying to optimize their mistreatment of users, mistreating them (and thus profiting from them) right up to the point where they are ready to switch, but without actually pushing them over the edge.

Just fyi. #openinformation

we weren't religious
one day of seven we'd rest
but for the milking
cows and barn now long gone
house boards ache with memories

@futurebird @Doug_Bostrom Wikipedia, where I'm an admin, has long dealt with people pushing pseudoscience and other nonsense. Some of the ways it's been dealt with may be helpful, e.g. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view/FAQ#Pseudoscience

I'm also a moderator of a Facebook group, Cambridge Skeptics Discussions. We get true believers proselytising, but they usually end up getting blocked because they resort to insults, become disruptive, and won't engage in reasoned discussion, e.g. providing sources.

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like it's gigantic and destroying the town.

Awesome Collection of #computerscience references, mainly related to #programming #languages. Some of the texts can be found inside the #digital #library of the #acm and, as one might imagine, there are gems that are worth reading. I specially recommend the Axiomatic Basis for #computer #programming by #Hoare and The next 700 programming languages by Landin.

I built this tool a year ago but I feel like Mastodon folks would like it

The "Weird Old Book Finder"

Type in a search query, and it'll find one randomly-chosen public-domain book that matches the query -- and present it for immediate reading: https://weird-old-book-finder.glitch.me

Why only one book? To prevent the paradox of choice! Just *start readin'*

Can't promise every book will be weird, but most are

A longer essay on how/why I developed it: https://debugger.medium.com/a-search-engine-that-finds-you-weird-old-books-3a74fbb5f3d4
