What is the optimum amount of humans on this planet?
Have we (as the intelligent ones) worked out a way to achieve an equilibrium of how many humans to how many other species there are, with a view to us all surviving?
Doesn't the effect we have on other species affect how many humans there are?
Perseverance is admirable. Yet, it's also brave to say "I can't do this anymore" and make a plan to walk away from situations and people that are toxic and unhealthy.
"In my opinion, they are the finest men I have ever beheld [...] To see a white man bathing alongside a Tahitian, was like comparing a plant bleached by the gardener’s art to the same growing in the open fields."
He was “much disappointed in the personal appearance of the women; they are far inferior in every respect to the men.”
However "either they are not as handsome as they were said to be, or my ideas are fastidious".
The quiet, pervasive devaluation of frontend - Josh Collinsworth
Here is a long article that's well worth your time, on the perception of the craft of front end development. Lots of quote-worthy thoughts in there.
(…) If our skills are valuable as duct tape over the cracks of organizational shortcomings, why aren’t they valuable during the planning and decision-making that led to those defects, when we could potentially prevent them?
(…)
Frontend tools market themselves as though frontend is something no one wants to do, and nobody should care about any more than they have to.
(…)
It seems like nobody thinks of frontend as a critical part of the product anymore; they only think of it as the nice box the product arrives in.
hello, man of the new millennium, 21st century. Have you been able to realize yourself? was it able to achieve what the 19th-century science fiction #writers wrote? Look at yourself, man. You live in a house that is not your (a mortgage), drive a car that does not belong to you (debt), you get #money that depreciates before you buy anything, you have finished your studies but still haven't paid 40,000 tuition fees and most likely won't pay in the next 5 years. You can't afford to live the way you want and your home is no longer your fortress. You're alone. You don't belong to yourself.

So earlier today I posted that I wake up to more spam I had to deal with. I use the FediBlock tag, which probably helps shouldn’t have but oh well. Anyway, I get replies from people blasting me for spamming the hashtag. Now I’ve had a busy day so I couldn’t get to the replies and reply back so it gets better. They report me to my instance, to which I’m a co-admin of, to which I’ll get the report.
So did they do their research and see who I am and actually just try to (1/3)

Когда-то я пришёл в Jabber и говорил апологетам XMPP, что он никак не защищён от спама. Тогда они говорили мне, что у них такая крутая матан-капча, что её не пройдёт даже их родная мать.
Уже давно, как только я посмотрел на то как выглядят инструменты модерации Mastodon, я говорю, что в федивёрсе тоже нет никакой защиты от спама, кроме того, что мы, как и пользователи jabber тогда, пока нахуй никому не нужны.
Пока что два лучших решения, которые я видел сегодня - это когда dansup добавил в Pixelfed блокировку по ключевым словам из .env-файла и чьё-то предложение внести в федиблок серверы, которые пострадали от нашествия учёток ботов.
Если первое - это более-менее разумная реакция, чтобы справиться с проблемой прямо сейчас, то в целом, если честно, это всё выглядит крайне несерьёзно.
Интересно, сколько ещё таких тупых инцидентов должно произойти чтобы кто-то начал работать над этим вопросом?
И да, я каждый раз смотрю с ухмылкой на заявления в стиле что "а вот в корпоративных сетях со спамом тоже не борются - я там ботов видел!".
Этим людям стоило бы понять, что то, что они видели - это остатки, которые проскользнули через работающий антиспам, а то, что они видят тут - это просто шалости каких-то малолетних долбоёбов, от котороых и прикрыться-то нечем кроме разрывов связности в сети 👏
К сожалению, большинство довольствуется поверхностными наблюдениями.
Some of the most miraculous and magical elements of our life we easily overlook because they seem so ordinary: sunlight warming our skin on a spring day, flowers bursting up as if out of nowhere, air with just the right amount nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide to sustain the abundant life on earth.
Imagine a world in which there were no color, no variety, in which all the people thought and acted the same -- copying the words, actions, lifestyle, beliefs and dress of media and celebrity "Influencers."
That world would be not only dull, but constricting, coercive, conforming and repressive.
