My favourite place in the world

I’m not sure about that. I have aphantasia, so no visual memories. My problem is with past events, they often feel like they’re disconnected from me. I don’t have a first person sense of my childhood for example. I can remember what happened, but I don’t so much remember it happening.

Photography for me is a way of anchoring myself to the event. When I look at a photo of something, it takes me back there in a way my memory can’t.

When I first heard about them, I thought they sounded useful. I’m a photographer, and one of the challenges is not always having a camera handy when you need it, so the idea of a readily available camera for taking photos of birds, sunsets, landscapes etc, and the ability to use them as ear phones etc sounded kinda neat. I spoke to some vision impaired folk at my local parkrun who use them to help identify what they’re looking at, or read things they can’t read etc. This was in the early days, when I was still a bit naive about where they would go. To me, they sounded like nifty technology.

And then Meta cranked up the creepy spy factor, and people started doing really creepy things with them.

It shouldn’t have surprised me, but it did…

I wing it. There might be some big ticket things I know I’m going to do, but even those, I know I’m going to do them, but I organise it on the fly when I’m there.

You were banned because you posted lolicon art.

You’re subject line is needlessly conflating a community and an instance… This was a community mod action, not a blahaj instance action.

Oof. I went through that in 2022. Hope recovery is smooth

This is what I was going to say!

This pretty much was my job up until recently, though we get better leave than that in Australia.

I used tesseract as my daily driver for lemmy, and honestly, it was and is the best lemmy interface I’ve used, at least in terms of the tools it had to make admin and moderation tasks easier.

But we were also running an older version and hadn’t upgraded to the version with the blocks, or otherwise, we’d have been in the same boat as db0, because we were one of the instances blocked by the list

It’s an alternative front end for lemmy. Lots of instances that make alternative front ends available to their users offer it as an option

Language, because I can work the rest out and learn them more quickly than I can learn a language.

Seconded. I self host it for family members for that reason!

I rarely remember my dreams, and when I do, they’re normally just boring everyday stuff. Nothing profound to be found

Not a fork, and not a response to Linus’ comments, but fuck, why let that get in the way of a headline?

That or the fact that a trans person played a supporting role

Being trapped in a country that descends in to rampant transphobia

Have I missed some big fediverse news?

No one.
