I'm still getting used to the idea that because of Gemma 4, I'll have Windows 11 on my computer first (and that there will be a presso in Szentmihรกly), so it's hard to get started.
I stopped interacting much with social media years ago and am honestly not sure how to do this any moreโฆ but I like the shape of what is starting here.
likewise. Its just nice to have an "even playing field" without any perceived hierarchy or weird material incentives to perform the way you'd be pushed to on regular SM.
agree, no images on my screen is soothing

Images are fine for me, but should be behind a link, or a small thumbnail. Non-animated. Videos too.
But thatโs me. They will most likely have to be hosted elsewhere, while the thumb could be here.
Nah. We are ok with just text.

@tel๐ดprofilefollowI really enjoy learning, I really enjoy making. I'm learning to be less guarded.replied to@bobbyprofilefollow:
I think short urls are still memorable and good. My phone doesn't surrogate all of my recall.
The longer the text you need to store, the bigger a QR code needs to be in order to scan reliably.
Also, you might be more confident in being able to keep a short URL stable (it's already a step of indirection, so if you want to reorg your site you can just update where the short URL points to). But people don't really take care to maintain short URLs anyway, apparently.
Counting clicks, although probably not all that accurate with bot clicks
Also Short.io gives you a sub domain which is pretty nice

keyboardinterrupt.com:textlog runs on a 2.5โฌ/mo vps 1 core/2gb ram, using just one instance of Bun with its embedded SQLite. Works perfect and I run a few other apps as well on that machine.
It is quite amazing what you can run in those small VPSes if you just build with them in mind.
Yeah, it survived being on 1st page of HN for a day just fine! Snappy, didn't sweat at all.

retired programmer, new #ttrpgnotesfollow DM, learning Scottish Gaelicreplied to@pqs๐คชprofilefollow:I'm 55 and recently self-diagnosed as "fairly ASD with some ADHD" after watching a lot of youtube videos. It's been immensely helpful (to the point of bringing me to tears sometimes) in understanding the struggles I had when I was younger. It's also been very helpful in understanding what I can do currently to support myself and work with my brain instead of against it.

retired programmer, new #ttrpgnotesfollow DM, learning Scottish Gaelic:I'm glad it was useful to you. This process of becoming aware of our autism is not easy. It is liberating, but it is also difficult, at the same time.
I watched a lot of videos too, but then I visited a couple psiquiatrists and a psycologist (I had other problems too), just to be sure.
What is your opinion about the ASD youtube landscape? I think that there are a few very good channels, but there is lot of noise too. I see some danger there.
Those "10 signs you may be [or not be] autistic" seem quite dangerous to me. Neurodivergence can be tricky.

I think for now being self diagnosed is enough for me. Just knowing that I'm neurodivergent has been helpful for me to be kind to my own mind.
