after nearly two years using Tana I finally have my daily task list configured exactly how I want and it is *beautiful*.

(I'm not usually an early adopter precisely because alpha/beta software can be so frustrating, but I make an exception for block outliner tools.)

How lucky are we that we get to watch Naomi Girma play soccer

It's a shame that the Olympics are on Peacock since it's the only streaming service that doesn't work on Linux.

Guess I'll be practicing my Spanish a lot over the next few weeks. (There are other services/channels that are doing Spanish-language broadcasts of the games.)

Honestly the most relatable thing about #KamalaHarris

The most important thing to me this November is that Donald Trump loses, but it would also be pretty damn cool to have a Black woman president. So let's do this.

Slack just announced they're deleting most of the message history of workspaces on the free plan.

They are not giving groups a chance to save their older messages. We still only have access to last 90 days.

Options are: buy a paid plan for a month and use it to download your archives, or abandon your workspace history.

May be able to hack this with free trials but either way it's a reminder that VC funding will run out and the free things you've come to rely upon will be used to exploit you.

God we're so yellow

Like if highlighters grew consciousness and decided to use it to play soccer

If you want to follow along with Ghost's attempts to implement ActivityPub they are surprisingly hilarious

I was feeling very bleh this afternoon and like I wasn't going to get anything done but then I started reviewing PRs and I ended up merging 10 of them. Predicting my own behavior is definitely a skill I don't have, but at least merging PRs is.

I think the scenarios were for this paper but it was a while ago (and I wasn't very involved in the study besides generating scenarios) so I'm not 100% sure: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19375075/

Discussing the red cards in the Reign-Wave #NWSL game tonight I found myself saying '"tried to punch a person and missed" has to be at least as bad an infraction as "didn't try to punch someone but did"' and it kindled a long-dormant part of my brain that once spent months looking for scenarios with exactly this kind of moral juxtaposition so we could stick people in giant magnets and see if their brains reflected their decisions.

In conclusion maybe we should study Chesky in a giant magnet.

Facebook is currently censoring this link, which makes me want to share it:

Rules often have unintended consequences. But I suspect that some people knew this was going to happen, or have noticed it happening over the last twelve years. And I wonder what about the rule-making process made it so that those voices weren't listened to.

@mathilde @jalcine incredible, no notes

@ntnsndr cute design! the order vs chaos option is very fun

Have you been involved in organizing/running a tech conference?

I have a quick but confidential question involved re: working with sponsors - if you don't mind me DMing you, please let me know and I will follow up with you.

Please boost for reach, I am hoping to get at least a handful of different opinions. Thank you 🙏

**EDIT: **Thanks so much to everyone who boosted/offered to help! I have all the listening ears I could possibly need 😂

@luis_in_brief @grimalkina Minoring in authoritarianism sounds like the punchline to a joke although I majored in prosocial and antisocial behavior so glass houses, etc

@evan @timbray oh whoops accidentally voted the opposite of what I meant. I didn't see the link to the Wikipedia article
