Tohle nejspíš všichni znáte, ale opakování je matka moudrosti.
Na pouličních lampách jsou štítky s unikátními čísly. Ty slouží k jednoduché, rychlé a přesné identifikaci místa, kde stojí lampa.
To se hodí např. při komunikaci s záchranáři.

How about changing our messaging to: "Your crippling BNPL debt is a direct consequence of Google, Meta and ByteDance knowing every fucking thing about you"
I like xmpp and I am running an xmpp server since I can not remember when. But I have to say that there are still severe technical issues why I can not recommend it to "normal" people like:
* message loss
* duplicate messages
* encryption problems
* bad user experience on several apps
* unreliable s2s connections
Attached a sceenshot from today.
BUT: If all these problems would not exist, people still would not use it because they don't understand why they should.
I'm not experiencing any of those issues.

Reminder to everyone: Mastodon counts all links as 23 characters. Even if you use a link shortener.
If you use a shortener, all you do is obscure the link's destination (and make the link dependent on that shortening service). Many of us will avoid clicking on such obscured links. You're almost certainly *lowering* your engagement, traffic, whatever.
Just link directly. It doesn't cost you any characters.
Yikes! Other authors, be very careful and make sure you, or your agent, keeps an eye on contracts! Because mine is more experienced, he spotted the below right away, but keep an eye out for the below.
1. Do not give publishers permission to train their AI on your work, even internally. WTF? A publisher tried to sneak this in!
2. Despite what publishers tell you, demand your audiobook should be done by humans and your cover should be done by humans. Publishers love AI despite what they tell you!
3. Do not let publishers dictate giving you a lower advance *because* you don't have a platform. This is bullshit, especially since they have all the PR connections.
4. Do not let them say anything about how many hours you should spend promoting your book. Make this low as possible or even eliminate it altogether. They have all the PR connections. You don't. Make it their fault you don't make back their advance, not you, because they can decline to publish you in the future and you won't have numbers to prove they failed in PR.
5. Don't let publishers tell you virtual book tours don't generate returns on investment and isn't worth having their publicist do. No, fuck that shit! Because my agent is experienced, he said fuck that straight away! If you want your releases to be virtual, say so!
And finally,
6. Do not let them give you a low advance. A lower advance says they don't have to invest in you as much to get back that investment. They should do the bulk of the publishing work, not you, so always ask for higher advances, always! Even if you don't think you'll make back that advance. Go higher. This will force them to do something about their investment in you!
This is an experiment. Please boost.
Here's the idea: This post is going first to my followers, then, if they boost it, to other people. This domain has been registered for only this experiment. I should see in my web server's logs when mastodon instances start crawling the site for info. Then maybe also some curious humans.
I just want to play with my monitoring a bit :)

Coming to the end of a rewatch of #Babylon5. As I watch G'kar's closing message to Ta'lon (including his mention of what he was like when he first arrived… oh, memories of the first few episodes!), I suddenly realize:
The two shows are almost completely dissimilar, *but*… his arc reminds me of Eleanor Shellstrop's in #TheGoodPlace. Both have that thing where the person they become by the end has grown *so much*, it's nearly impossible to put into words. It aches.

@DavidGoldfield Just thinking hard about the last few scenes always makes me cry, but I just finished a rewatch of "Objects at Rest" (which got me bawling at the scene where Sheridan and the new crew look at each other through their respective windows as he and Delenn's White Star is about to leave — Goddess, so much kudos to Christopher Franke for the heartbreaking music!) and am about to do "Sleeping In Light". Again.
I have tissues ready.
