  Thinking about how for years teenagers and curious nerds were prosecuted and thrown in jail because poking at a web site was a clear sign of being a ☠️ CR1MIN4L H4CK3R ☠️ Now it's all like oh no! the computer did an oopsie! no one is to blame, nothing can be done! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@benroyce/117307005469458400 🧵 1/ I see there are many people in the replies to this post getting upset and claiming this is an unspoken social requirement in interviews and that it's unfair to the neurodiverse. I did hundreds of interviews during my time in tech and I can state with 100% confidence that this is absolutely not a trap for neurodiverse people.

  I was going to get up on this step stool to put stuff away on a shelf but, as you know, cat (I did not put the step stool on top of the cat. The cat crawls into it through the holes in the side because he thinks it is fun) #Caturday #Cats #CatsOfMastodon

  According to iNaturalist this is wild carrot (queen anne's lace). The flower on the left is pretty recognizable but I've never seen what the pre-bloom flower buds look like. They are spiky and weird! #Garden #BloomScrolling

  @jackwilliambell @aosmith16 We make one of these every other week or so during high cherry season. It is so good. (I have not had ready access to sour cherries until recently and am looking forward to trying them in a clafoutis)

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@lemay/116847326604689754 Self-boosting (sorry) because apparently there was an attack against mastodon.social yesterday and it didn't get out. Transcript of the audio: This is Himalaya blackberry. It is invasive in the Pacific Northwest and very aggressive. But it grows these really, really tasty blackberries that make really good pie. And I'm hoping...really hoping...that we have enough of it. #Garden #Gardening #PNW #Fruit

  Cato can sleep really, really deeply in seemingly uncomfortable spots. When I spot him like this and he does not wake up when I wiggle his feet I take the opportunity to clip all his claws. #Cats #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon

  In which I show off my new garden for 22 seconds. #Garden #Gardening #Vegetables #Tomatoes Transcript: Well at this point I am not sure I can say that I don't have a garden any more, because I have tomatoes, tomatoes, and tomatoes, tomatoes, and strawberries, and basil. Oh and dahlias! Dahlias in the middle.

  This article is going around and it really is worth your time. "But doing something like this requires you to take for granted that other people are smart, that smart people have always existed, and that very little in the human experience is new. That requires, you know, intellectual humility — and a willingness to think about other people’s experiences." https://www.theverge.com/tldr/915176/nft-metaverse-ai-weirdos

  In the new house we have deer, which is not surprising. We do have a LOT of deer (several herds of 15-20), which is slightly surprising. But one of them is white, which is very surprising.

  RE: https://glammr.us/@overholt/116374498392182721 We ran a cypherpunks relay out of our house back in the day and now I'm remembering how sore my back got turning and turning that giant crank on the email machine to send out each typewriter-font message.

  People who claim there is no engagement on Mastodon have never posted a photo of a really cute cat and it shows.
