Just watched a piece on a Dutch newssite about a guy who started to learn to read and write at a later age because his little daughter was starting to read too and he wanted to be able to help her out.
And I found it pretty striking what he said at the end when he was asked what that felt like:
Freedom. It felt like a lot of freedom.
Education is important, folks!
Damn, all this stuff about the Titan submersible being stuck in sea is quite crazy. Cheapskate CEO is in that thing too so he probably got what he deserved because that thing never should've gone that deep. A shame for the other 4 people though but eh.. they did sign a waiver so...
But what I do enjoy are the shitton of crazy-ass memes about the Titan. :P Dark humor at its finest. Gallows humor at this point probably.
Damn, getting out of my comfort zone here as an introvert.
We had to bring a bunch of equipment to another building and I saw in a room there a huge professional green screen setup. I was kinda in awe. The green screen setup we have in this classroom is amateur at best, so...
Coworkers told me who managed that studio. So I sent him an email with that I'd like to take a closer look at the studio sometime, and if I could maybe see someday how everything works over there?
Definitely out of my comfort zone here.

I think I like the new Steam game overlay... The notes feature might be handy, and it's also nice how you can pin any window in the overlay and it'll show up in the game when you leave the overlay. Nice for playing a movie in the corner or to have some notes visible during gameplay.
The overview of everything's also a vast improvement over the old UI. Easier to spot whatever with those handy buttons, much more user friendly. It's some little getting used to but I think it's a big improvement.

Neighbours continued working on their extension. I asked my neighbour a few questions about the design and roofing, he showed me a picture. Looks pretty nice at their end. Tight wooden design, very modern. At my side I'll just see big black plates as walls.
He asked if I wanted the fence to stay (which covers a fairly large part of the new wall). I said yes, so it's not going to be one vast blackness at my side. I guess it might be less work for him too, heh.
I really dislike big network printers which think they're smart and ignore your specific request to print from a certain drawer or even from the manual input. 😒
I had to go to the receptionist, told her I'm oh so desperate and that the printer hates me, and she helped me out with the printer in her office.

Just a friendly reminder, not all of us have the spoons or mental space to deal with US politics in all its horror (and maybe glory?).
I'm happy to use filters to curate my timeline, but when you get cute with putting asterisks in words you bypass filters. Just write the word, let us protect ourselves.
Because getting cute with partial censoring of words actually causes more harm than pretending to obfuscate a word.

This one is now a backup account, my activities on Qoto will be low.

Used to be on another mastodon server regularly, but it's been inaccessible since November 2020. So I've decided to join Qoto instead! I like the features this server has to offer.
