Калибровка собственного внимания по Стивену Кови (книгу не читала, но методом пользуюсь).

1. Как (постараться) перестать тратить силы на то, что нам неподвластно.

Нужно представить себе два концентрических круга: внутренний - это Круг Влияния. В нём то, что вы можете как-то изменить. Внешний - Круг Забот. В нём проблемы, занимающие ваши мысли, но сделать с которыми вы ничего не в состоянии.
Метод: сосредоточиться на том, что можете и не тратить даже мысленную энергию на остальное.

2. Как выставлять приоритеты.

Нарисуйте табличку из 4-х квадратов. Подпишите каждый: "важное и срочное", "важное и не срочное", "неважное и срочное", "неважное и не срочное".
Впишите свои задачи в соответствующие квадраты. Сосредоточьтесь на важном и срочном, избавьтесь от ненужного.

Ваш Кэп.

@menelion сложно, не спорю. Но если углубляться в эти мысли, то все силы тратятся туда, и невозможно ничем заниматься из необходимого. И тревожность растёт.
Поэтому "ищем пуговицу", как в "Дне Радио".

The #EARNIT bill is aiming at scanning our messages and photos, but opposition is HUGE. EARN IT is an internet surveillance bill that makes all of us less safe by attacking encryption under the guise or protecting children.

We’ve killed this bill twice, let's do it again! 💀💀💀

Check here how you can help! 👉 tutanota.com/blog/posts/earn-i…

Today, so many people used EFF's Action Center to tell Congress not to pass the EARN IT Act and the STOP CSAM Act that it briefly took the system offline. It's back up, and you can take action here:

If you are creating your own server on here, don't use a domain name with the word "mastodon".

The word "mastodon" in relation to social networks is a registered trademark owned by Eugen Rochko's Mastodon gGmbH organisation.

If you use a domain name which includes the word "mastodon", you can be sued by Eugen's organisation if you don't comply with their wishes:

joinmastodon.org/trademark

For example, this would potentially make it illegal to switch to software unapproved by Mastodon gGmbH.

Here it is. The latest track I’ve released, and the first video clip I’ve ever done. It is, of course, Space Pop (feat. Kaaren Elizabeth Smith).

Kaaren is a long time friend who I used to co-host a weekly karaoke night with, at a small town bar called The Reef back in the 90’s!!

One of the goals of the Dgar Project is to write new songs, and record them with friends that I have some kind of music related history with. When I got the opportunity to record with Kaaren, I took it.

Kaaren, on the day, was amazing. I sent her a demo of the track to practice and listen to a week earlier. She did some really quirky takes. It’s all her voice too. There’s no auto-tune. There’s no pitch correction. It’s all her. So much fun.

The “doo doo doos” she does was originally a melody I played on a distorted electric guitar. On one of the takes she does these “doo doo doos” over the riff. It just sounds so cool, I replaced my guitar track with her vocals.

I also hope you enjoy my #Blender project that makes the video in all its 8 frames-per-second glory!

Please enjoy the #scifi #Dgar #indie #cult #musicvideo Space Pop (feat. Kaaren Elizabeth Smith!

Please find and give the song a “favourite” on your preferred streaming platform if you enjoy it.

Add Space Pop to a playlist!

El rescate bancario acumula ya una deuda para España de 74.000 millones y sigue creciendo 15 años después

El desfase del plan español de apoyo a la banca es el más alto de Europa en términos absolutos y contrasta con el superávit logrado por Francia, de más de 2.000 millones, o Dinamarca,1.500 millones. El Gobierno del PP de Mariano Rajoy aseguró que el rescate bancario no le costaría ni un euro a los contribuyentes eldiario.es/economia/espana-ac…

One thing I particularly like about Rust — which I’m very new to — is how thoughtfully the compiler errors and warnings have been designed. It not only diagnoses and explains the problem: it provides a possible solution. Genius.

This is the essence of good design: it’s compassionate, anticipating the needs and wants of another person. I can’t think of another language that does anything like this. Certainly not Swift, not that I’m bitter.

Equipment question for those of you doing #twophoton imaging: anyone using a fixed wavelength laser from Axon / Toptica / Spark Lasers? Any recommendations / horror stories would be most welcome, as would boosts. I really don't want to ask over there. Maybe @MatteoCarandini @sls? Thx!

A part of the Windows Win32k GDI module has been ported to Rust and has been merged into Windows — which means Windows will soon be booting with Rust in the kernel! 🥳🦀

Rewriting the entire Windows operating system in Rust is not something which is realistic right now — the scale of the project is just too big for that.

Instead this is an experiment in targeting one of the most vulnerable parts of Windows, and rewriting *that*. And that’s been so successful, it’s actually going to be shipping soon! Which is a huge deal!

Currently my mind is being blown by this excellent article about abstract machine models and how programmers think, and perhaps yours would be too.

#Amberol 0.10.0 is out! After a tragic mess with a #GNOME run time update, and with lots of fixes accumulating over a development branch, I decided to spin up a release. Highlights:
- tweaked UI, to avoid confusing the waveform control and the volume control
- improved scaling of textures using #GTK 4.10
- ability to restore the last playlist at startup
- optional background playback

Plus the usual lots and lots of small fixes, tweaks, and performance improvements.

:mastodon: The brilliant & hard-working 16-year old Lucas @moshidon is doing a great job building a fun and innovative fork of the #Mastodon #Android client.

💡 Take a moment to download and try it out, and if you can, toss him a little money to support & encourage his work!

Yeah. 🤦‍♂️ And it's even better when the app is for some public service. For example for municipal public transport... In a city full of tourists...

Are you tourist #traveling in Pisa? You would like to use an app to search for public transport easily? We say NO! Just fiddle with the web and be glad that the connection searching section is translated to English... 👎

Voice Dream Reader is creating a lot of confusion at the moment with its move to an annual subscription model. And they are making it worse for themselves because they haven’t gone where the engaged blind community has gone, to Mastodon.
If you haven’t done so yet, please sign the open letter calling on organisations that engage with the blind community to come to Mastodon.

Audon is a great real-time audio streaming service for the #fediverse! Think Spaces or Clubhouse, and you pretty much got it. You create a room for audio, where other people can listen to you, or just give them the role of speaker as well.

You can easily log in with your fediverse (Mastodon/Calckey/Pleroma) account, create a room, share the link, and you're ready to go!

iOS Shortcuts. Darcy Burnard, from the Maccessibility podcast, did a 10 part series on understanding and using shortcuts. If you are interested in iOS shortcuts, I would highly recommend checking out this series! You can find it on the ACB Community podcast. You can either join the podcast through your favorite podcast app, or go to the website link at the end. Now there is many different things posted to this podcast feed. But just do a search for Understanding Shorcuts, and this will filter them out. The series ran from January 23rd to April 10th. Thanks to Darcy for putting in the time and doing this series! I personally listen to them through my podcast app, but here is the website link if you want it. acb-community.pinecast.co. #iOS #Shortcuts #Tip #UnderstandingShortcuts #Blind #Voiceover @DHSDarcy

I’m very excited to see the discussion for the @Mastodon post migration issue has picked back up. This is probably the single largest gap between rhetoric and reality on #Mastodon.

It’s anecdata, but *every singe person* I mention account migration to immediately asks “oh, so my posts can move with me.” This is, unfortunately, immidiately followed up with disappointment that their posts stay behind. Coupled with the recent push to make mastodon.social the default for the iOS app… we need a way for users to move around SEAMLESSLY. We can make all the technical excuses we want, but if the process doesn’t work it’s not really account migration.

Until we have post support, we should probably say we have “social graph” migration, not “account migration,” or we’re really just lying and setting up people to be let down.

Since @talon is posting unfinished tracks, I figured I might as well do the same. My pride and joy, minus some of the instrumentation in the last section, is this. Eventually I want to finish this and put it on music services, though there might be a bit of Copyright permission tangled up in it. The sun is a deadly laser! @FreakyFwoof @jcsteh
