I wrote about emotional intelligence in design for @facebookdesign and I would love to hear your thoughts! @bethdean/emotional-intelligence-in-design-abcd1555b3e7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@bethdean/emot…

@sapphomancer hey there, not sure if you still use this thing but I run a queer speculative fiction subreddit with 11k members. We read Metal From Heaven for our book club last month. Would you be interested in doing an AMA?

@mulegirl I was just thinking of you, happy birthday I hope you are enjoying main character energy season!

Today is my birthday, and I’ve given myself the gift of retirement. After 10 years, Friday was my last day at Meta. As to what’s next: as little as possible.

@timquirino I crack up at this every time

This is my favorite music in Zelda #totk

@andizeisler Ah yes good ol’ apolitical feminism!

@schwa23 @timquirino Yes and I like those too

@bethdean @timquirino I thought Lego was adult Lego

Talk to me about mechanical keyboards and what you like about them

@austinkleon I got a used Aeron from a startup going under, and I’ve had it for like a decade now!

I was JUST about to buy an Aeron — now I’m wondering if thanks to the pandemic I can pick up a used one cheap? (But who really wants a used chair? Hmmm.) nytimes.com/2023/07/10/nyr…

@chrisarvinsf And they will kill people in the process.

@mulegirl I guess the name junk drawer was unavailable so they picked the next best thing?

@gem_ray I don’t understand why apple lets them abuse notifications this way.

doordash knows you can't revoke push privileges completely, because you need order updates. so they spam you anyway with promotions, even when you choose not to. lyft doesn't even offer an option to opt out. not sure if it's better or worse...

@sriramk I love Reddit, it’s my favorite social media. Its superpower is self-regulated communities. No other platform does this well. 3rd party mod tools underpin all the best communities. It’s reasonable for unpaid moderators to want efficient tools that work at scale to maintain those.

@jtroll I’ve been playing both, Zelda is about 1000% more fun and is shockingly creative to play.

So. Diablo IV or Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom? I can only pick one for now.

@hinathan Looks like it might be most frequent when they’re coming and going from work? Maybe the dogs have separation anxiety (which is trainable) and the neighbors just don’t know since they’re not home. If your neighbors seem friendly I’d just try talking to them.

The neighbor's dogs bark a lot so I pull an rtsp feed into ffmpeg and chunk out 60-second mp3s, then feed those into TensorFlow, saving all the clips which contain dog barking sounds. Not sure what else I can do. They're under-trained, left alone most days. Neighborly advice?

@cdharrison Glad you’re okay!

@KristyT @DannPetty Nice guy who helps and elevates other people and has cool work :)

@DannPetty earnest, prolific and ambitious

Why do you follow me?

@KristyT Matches the big ugly decorative clock

Absolutely not.

@ARTofCOOP Countdown till somebody’s brain gets blown up

@mulegirl Building an attack helicopter and mowing down goblins is my favorite Pt. Reyes pastime.

@mulegirl What a rollercoaster
