Teste gerade #phanpy als Mastodon Client. Ziemlich beeindruckend, wie man eine UX so konstruieren kann, dass sie erwünschtes Verhalten fördert und Dysfunktionalitäten minimiert. Beispiele:
- Boosts werden nachrangiger behandelt und markiert, ohne sie ganz auszublenden.
- Ein Seitenformat reduziert doom scrolling.
- Standardfeeds können ausgeblendet werden.

Global unrest is spreading. Time for a macro thread... .
On Sept 25 in TT#16, I noted some echoes of the Arab Spring in the unrest developing all over the world around the high cost of living and the poor state of public services.

#Huggingface lets you add your personal p(doom) prediction to your profile now.
Makes for a nice personal touch of living through the apocalypse, if you ask me.
The horror ... a realistic simulation of what happens when one of the Light Beams of Doom from the crazy #ReflectOrbital satellites hits you at night: https://vimeo.com/1237489863 -> stills: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10165966175979808 = https://bsky.app/profile/ddavisspaceart.bsky.social/post/3mydkzwp3xs2x
So now in the house you've got the Conservative leader of the opposition saying About time, you should do even more!

They both agree it's brilliant to drill for more fossil fuels because if we do it in Europe then we don't have to buy it from Russia.
They both think (wrongly) that it increases energy security to drill more oil and sell it on the global markets.

We are so doomed.

One of my friends has really drowned in the doomerverse. With two young kids, I worry for both him and the children. Honestly if you believe in this you should be living somewhere off grid in Alaska, raising your own food. If you aren’t doing that, the cognitive dissonance must be crippling. Not sure I can pretend much anymore.
Hate to use online gaming as an example, but here we go:
I play team based online games & it’s amazing how many people, 30 seconds into 15 minute match, go “gg” - meaning “game over, we already lost”
Doomers are that person.
I’ve seen some amazing “come from behind“ wins.
They can’t happen if you give up
