My Friday evenings are apparently now spent crying due to the death of a Guinea pig I follow on Instagram. 💔

As my old horse riding instructor would have said, “BUCK UP GAL!”

Holy shit. Just got my first ever emergency alert in Berlin. A paper recycling facility is burning somewhere.

@popey @JoeRess Ditto. It's evasion of payment for an electronic product (the payment being via you watching advertising), which is normally known as "piracy". (software piracy, movie piracy, music piracy). The license for accessing the product (very legally enforcably) says that you gotta watch the advertising to get the product."Piracy" has stuck because what's being done isn't quite stealing - you're not denying someone their property. But you're certinaly denying them income.

@popey @JoeRess Now for sure, I view unlicensed copties of electronically-distributed stuff all the time. But I know it's piracy.

@popey @JoeRess This does all raise questions about everyone sticking their video media on a single provider, and why they aren't using things like Peertube. Intellectual property law is also massively, hideously biased towards large coporations - it isn't there to benefit individual creators. Just look at LLM scraping for that.The ultimate solution for all of this is Eng Capitalism, because these laws are bound up with that. If you figure out how, please let me know. ;)

@popey @JoeRess I can feel Joe getting fighty with all the emails and posts he's receiving on this topic. 😂

@popey @JoeRess also you gotta acknowledge that people choose to add adverts to their videos on youtube in order to get (some meagre) income from them. They can certainly choose to put them up without any advertising attached.

Just heard @vkc on the Homelab podcast and OH MY GOD IT WAS AMAZING TO HEAR A WOMAN ON ONE OF THESE SHOWS. ❤️❤️❤️

I’m just saying, every single Linux, self hosted, and homelab nerd podcast, that you could do with putting some more effort into having women on your shows. #WeMissLaura @vkc

@JoeRess @vkc you’re hitting societal issues here. Most of us simply don’t have much time to spare. As much as we’d all like to think society has progressed housework, childcare etc still mostly fall on women and dudes have way more time for these things. :(

@JoeRess @vkc it’s always going to be way harder to recruit women for these things. Just like it’s way harder for me to hire women at my tech job- the system is biased towards men. :(

You know when you gotta get up stupidly early and therefore have to go to bed early? That’s why it’s almost midnight and I’m making paper airplanes out of post it notes.

@JoeRess oh lol do you know the full story on him and this shit? One of his daughters is trans and she completely disowned him. When she changed her name (in court, because USA) she wrote as the reason for it as: “Gender Identity and the fact that I no longer wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.”

Absolutely screamingly tired this evening. I have ordered a pizza in order to punish my gluten-intolerant self even further.

Ah wait, that’s why I’m tired - I haven’t actually eaten today. This is what happens when my wife goes away and my ADHD takes over. 😭

I don’t rely on her for making me do things. She’s more like my external clock signal. When I see her eating I realise I have to eat. When I see her stop work I realise I should stop. #ADHD

It’s hard to explain this to people who have a brain that actually has a notion of time and cause/effect. 😅

ADHD is not being able to compete executive tasks that you WANT to complete, let alone those that you don’t. #ADHD

And this is me doped up to the gills on Ritalin. I can’t describe just how bad I was before that. 😭 #ADHD
