I remember the days when it was much more common to have a "Links" section on websites with recommendations and partners.
"Look at those websites! I don't get money from anyone, I just want them to be known better. If you enjoy my stuff, you might enjoy their stuff, too."

Please think before you put an AI in charge of something important. Until we make them Friendly, they're dangerously dangerous.
Just discovered this and I'm amazed.

When something is so obviously true that you don't have or need reasons, that's exactly when you should search for some.

Bored at home because of the coronavirus?
Perhaps it's a good time to get creative, start your own personal site, publish content about things you enjoy and share your knowledge with the world.

When you are sleeping, you consolidate memories of the day. When you take a break, you recover energy for the next unit of work. When you don't push your mind to look outside, it has a chance to look inside.
Dismissing boredom as symptom of a lack of inspiration is shortsighted. Boredom can be part of a pretty creative and productive cycle, too. But it is everyone's choice whether to participate in such a cycle.

In the last few days I read a lot about #jitsi, but before that I never heard about it. Did something happen that promoted the project? Looks very interesting!

@eletrotupi I think they probably need a hug more than a slap. People can change, sometimes it takes a while though.

I somehow missed the existence of https://gup.pe/ – a new(ish) group tool for the fediverse.
I haven't used it yet, but from its description, anyone can create/follow a group, and then be notified of all messages that @ that group. Sounds really cool!
Dear Hivemind, #AskMastodon
How to solve this common Mastodon problem?
I read a oven-fresh toot and would like to see how the discussion evolves later. How can I do that without sending myself scheduled reminders containing links to toots with some external application?
That is, I would like to follow a discussion, even if I can't contribute or when people reply to the original toot only.
Thanks!

via cron.weekly: "Here's a bit of hopium for everyone writing open source software: a tale of success! It's a new-ish way of writing and releasing open source packages. Those very interested in the package/project can donate and get immediate access.
Once a certain threshold of donations is achieved, the author can open-source it for everyone. If the threshold isn't achieved, only those who paid for it get it."
