@fool Dwarf Fortress. You create the lore yourself

One thing I could use at the moment is advice on how to comfort people. I'm not invulnerable, but I'm very lucky to be at a good place in my life. Many of my friends are not.

How do I comfort them? Tips? Advice? Resources?

Boosts welcome.

Oh my god there's a new You Look Nice Today episode: https://www.youlooknicetoday.com/hol

This is my favorite podcast ever. I'm not sure how it holds up now, but I have never laughed harder on public transportation.

@fool this is a hate-fave

@corbin You know, for those calm emergencies.

Zoom iOS App Sends Data to Facebook Even if You Don’t Have a Facebook Account

:shakes-fist: ZOOOOMMMM

I am pretty stressed. The best way I can put it is I normally have three pillars. Home, Work, and World. If something goes wrong in one (fight with partner, bad day at work, global tragedy) I can have a bad day.

But currently the world pillar is always having a bad day so if something goes wrong in another pillar, I really break down.

I haven't done #pixelart for months because I was blocked by this dang water well, but I got past it this weekend and added a shop!

Weird masto is good masto. I suck at it but keep it up, you strange beasts.

We used https://remo.co/ for a company meeting today and it was great. It did a really good job of simulating the advantages of a physical space, like small groups sitting at tables, speakers presenting to a crowd, raising hands to ask questions, etc. Definitely give it a shot if that sounds interesting.

I just saw someone use Choosy to open all Zoom links in the Zoom app, instead of having to copy and paste! Genius!

Shoutout to the IT & Devops folks.

A thing I've learned as a consultant: make it as easy as possible for someone to say yes to what you want.

E.g. instead of "Why are we doing A? B is better."

say: "When we do A, it seems to conflict with X. What do you think about changing it to B?"

It gives the person agency instead of getting defensive.

@saramg Also, talk about a _shit_ post 🤣

@saramg 😗👌
