I'm reasonably selective about what podcasts or radio to listen to, what fora to engage in, what to read online, etc., although there are probably some that I could remove without loss of substantial value.
I prioritize creation over consumption in general.

#Conversations_im 2.17.0 has support for emoji reactions 🎉
Since @Codeberg appears to be under constant DDoS attacks they have added pretty strict rate limits that the @fdroidorg build server keeps running into. 😞
Another build cycle just failed and it's unclear when 2.17.0 will be available on F-Droid.
Maybe Codeberg and F-Droid can back channel an allow list or something? 🙏

It's time for BEE FACTS
For every donation to this link, I will post one (1) fact about bees!
These little green bees are sweat bees. They're called that because they love salt & might come get some from you if you're sweaty.
They're solitary, sting but not very hard, and most of them nest in bare patches of dirt next to plants.
Plant flowers & leave some bare spots!
Honeybees are famous for working hard, but if you watch a hive, most of them spend a lot of time just chillin out on the honeycomb.
So when people tell you you gotta "be a good worker bee".... now you know the secret to their work ethic. Secure housing, affordable food, & naps.

The article discusses how QUIC, a protocol designed for fast internet connections, faces performance challenges under certain conditions. Through experimental data, the authors conclude that QUIC is not optimal over fast networks and suggest potential improvements to enhance its speed and efficiency.

Fantastic wide-ranging discussion about websites and browsers for a generalist to be aware of. You don't need to know how to do everything, but you DO need a huge contextual awareness across the stack to solve hard problems. Even a hint. 13min

I emphasize how important even knowledge of a thing being a thing helps. And it will seem utterly useless in the moment. It matters later, you will be completely surprised random tech stuff you did 20 years earlier randomly comes up as important. Try things, even Linux.

Mahasen Al Khateeb, a Palestinian #digital #illustrator, used to draw children stories and teach Procreate. She skilfully painted the suffering of her people in north Gaza using her stylus. It was her only outlet from a year of pain, horror and genocide.
Today the US-backed zionist regime killed her. Rest in peace Mahasen 💔

We really should talk more about why Nate Silver is not particularly liked by a lot of people who actually work with data.

This is just throwing random numbers on his hunches. He does this _all of the time_ and doesn't generally disclose (or even necessarily know to disclose) which pieces are his "hunches."
He mixes things that he puts into a model and fails to mention any validation beyond topline as well

I suppose the whole process, and my own mind, is still contaminated because I initially used an LLM. I can think of the following things that remain from my usage of Claude:
- The use of FFV1 as a lossless video codec. Presumably I would have found that in the FFmpeg documentation if I had really looked.
- The pixel format conversion to yuv420p to fix compatibility problems. Claude gave me that one for the MP4 version, and then I also applied it to WebM.
- The use of 256 Kbps for AAC.
