I'm not usually one to complain about fresh redesigns, but Slack's latest update completely removes custom color themes, and that is 100% bullshit.
I just don't even understand how you can go from years and years of supporting any color the user wants to just...snatching that feature away and replacing it with a dumbed-down palette.

Reminder, because I keep seeing it repeated: Nobody is calling for a boycott on Bandcamp, *especially* not on #BandcampFriday. Boycotting Bandcamp does NOT send a message to the new management, all it does is hurt the musicians who depend on Bandcamp for their livelihood.
ESPECIALLY on Bandcamp Friday, where all of the money goes to the musicians and none of it goes to Bandcamp itself!
Boycotts aren't always the requested or correct course of action when it comes to corporate malfeasance.

I do count myself as an "information worker", at least a lot of the time. And I have long had a skeptical eye towards many services and products claiming to boost my productivity aimed at my particular endeavors. But it only occurred to me today to think more broadly. You know, in light of all the SALAMI products.

if you think we are “past that whole racism thing” as a society, consider that the State of Alabama did not change the prohibition on interracial marriage in its constitution until 2000.

But we don’t understand the surprise upward leap that is happening now.

> When two ions passed by each other without colliding, some of their virtual photons interacted and turned into real photons with very high energy. These photons then collided with each other and produced electron-positron pairs, which were detected by the STAR detector at RHIC. The scientists analyzed more than 6,000 such pairs and found that their angular distribution matched the theoretical prediction for matter creation from light.

Geez, it's already Bandcamp Friday again! It snuck up on me. I uh... overparticipated... in previous ones, so I won't be able to join in on this one, but don't let my poor impulse control stop you from supporting artists today if you can.

I think "information workers" that don't generally have good measures of their "productivity" are susceptible to making judgements on whether something improves their productivity* on vibes alone. If it's one or more of new, novel, cool looking, fun, or everybody is doing it will be enough to persuade them that something must be improving their productivity.
* Putting aside for the moment the unhealthy nature of a culture that prizes productivity above all else.

Please help! I'm trying to get involved in Mastodon more.
I need your advice:
- Who to follow?
- Also How to advertise to everyone that my Mastodon instance, https://mastodon.symbolic.software, is now accepting sign-up requests? It will be curated; we're hoping to be a high quality instance with lots of thoughtful content and discussions on security and tech, and as little shitposting as possible.
