Anyone who says they get more traffic to their site from Mastodon than Twitter is... misguided at best.
Mastodon appends "noreferrer" to every external link. Your browser literally doesn't tell the server where it clicked from.
Now, some writers might be putting different tracking on their Twitter and Mastdon links.
But, by design, Mastodon doesn't show up in servers referral logs.
Whether that's a good thing or not is left as an exercise for the reader.

I am slightly sad but also trying so hard not to type inappropriately sarcastic catchphrasey commentary

If you attended the panel at #LFMemberSummit about open source software viability and project selection (or even if you didn't), you might want to listen to the CHAOSScast episode on this topic from last week. https://podcast.chaoss.community/72
When people invite you to dinner/movie.. the chances are the activity is just an excuse to meet up and the real objective is to socialise. I find this endearing, for years I didn’t know this.
I used to automatically assume that the suggested activity was the *main* purpose of a meet-up. I thought an invitation to dinner meant that the predominant point of focus was the FOOD, or an invitation to watch a movie meant the MOVIE was the centrepiece of the night.

Too spoon depleted to be diplomatic and return to the comments on one of my LinkedIn posts about #HealthAndSafety. Will have to wait.
But two things strike me:
1) Requiring masks is doable at any scale of event. It's the most effective (cost & impact) way of mitigating spread of airborne disease. And if you have a Code of Conduct, you already have the tools for enforcement.
2) Stop putting the burden of inclusion on marginalized people 😠

Like many kids, I remember drawing out the letters of my name in interesting ways in the margin of my notebook or on random scrap paper. I always liked the symmetry of the W and M in “William”, and …

Just a few things I struggle with:
- Having to put on a vivacious, inauthentic display of happiness at a moment’s notice.
- Having to adjust to a new item coming into my possession.
- Finding somewhere to put it.
- Potentially having to change my plans/do something out of character to use the item.

a lot of furry kinks involve clothing being ripped in some way, a reflection of the common innermost fantasy of being able to afford another pair of jeans
The ADHD experience is having a growing collection of empty notebooks, pristine water bottles, and untouched to-do apps, each one a monument to good intentions.
So McDonald's is giving away free fries for the rest of the year...

... and agree to the updated terms and conditions

If you finally found the solution to your coding problem in a deep comment or something after having dozens of tabs open, you should write about it in your own blog.
Really. Describe the problem in your own words and the solution for it, even if the solution seems really obvious now. Doesn’t matter. Give credit and whatever, but use your own words because you will be surprised at how many people will land on it.
Write the blog post you wish you had found.
So.. you are “just not that into politics?”
-Your Boss is
-Your Landlord is
-Your Insurance Company is
And everyday they use their political power to keep your pay low, raise rent, and deny you coverage.
It’s time to get into politics.
Not sure why Trump is saying "cum for us" as a chant.. obviously he doesn't know we're in the middle of Locktober & NOvember: https://youtu.be/_uyz4GigQvw?t=46
(Yes, this is a lewd political joke, but I still am stumped by the whole thing)
does anyone else get really annoyed when they go to therapy and their therapist gets them to talk about their issues?
and then through talking you realise you have issues?
maybe it’s just me

John Gregory’s GopherCon talk “7 Deadly Gopher Sins” is the ostensible basis of this spooky Go Time episode, but with Mat Ryer at the helm… the only thing to expect is the unexpected. And failed jokes. Expect lots of failed jokes.
The one thing about writing for me, at least online, is that with my newsletter, I have no idea what people like unless they reply (and y'all do!). That lack of knowledge reduces my pressure to "make more like that" and allows me to just flow.
With my website, that's also something I'll be able to discern since I have privacy respecting analytics. I'm tempted to remove that as well and use semantic engagement (likes, boosts) as such a metric.
Or or or, I could just keep doing what I want.
The last few weeks of doing dev work has made me realize that maybe I'm ready to be a software engineer again, although I'd prefer something in a leadership role rather than being the one cranking out code.
So if anyone is interested in me, I have a long, proven track record of building software that you've probably used and solving interesting problems to make it possible, and bringing interdisciplinary skills to the table to do so. My résumé is at https://beesbuzz.biz/resume
