#ShowerThought

I have a weekly meeting video call, during which I open my meeting notes in Google Docs. For the past few weeks, my Google login has expired in the middle of the meetings - it's annoying. Apparently, Google's login session has a one-week lifetime; therefore, it expires roughly the same time every week.

Maybe login systems should suggest users to re-login, for example, 1 day before the login session expires. Perhaps also show the login session remaining time to the users.

Next idea. A podcast index but it is federated and decentralised. Something like apple podcast or stuff like that. #showerthought #fediverse #web

#showerthought: if we devised an algorithm to distinguish #mastodon (or #fedi) servers by highest benefit to the whole instead of to the individual, we might strengthen the whole #fediverse.

We would need to rate for activity, uptime and inversely by size so that smallish but active servers get new folks first. Then one could add controversy (comment to like ratio or even reports) if they wanted, etc.

If that were the default, the fedi would become much more decentralized.

Being left-handed, what if I tried painstakingly optimizing the fps games I have installed for having my mouse on the left?

Would be a pain in the ass, some games can't be remapped, and all my desk clutter would have to be rearranged, but like, aside from every mouse ever in my price range being right handed, I could maybe test to see if hand dominance is stronger than 3 decades of accepting accessibility limitations.

Is there a possibility that those who practice the occult are actually harnessing the energy of dark matter? Thereby providing a potential scientific link so to speak between science and the occult?

#Education #ShowerThought I've been going through the new Post-16 education and skills whitepaper and for all the potentially intelligent analysis I could offer I'm just left thinking, 'with all the recent coverage introducing 'V Levels' so that folk are encouraged to think about 'V-A-T Levels', seems like a bit of a marketing mis-step?!'

Shower thought:

When you consider that labor has been a cornerstone in the creation of all wealth and culture, the whole AI situation comes into a much different focus.

This is one of the most direct attacks on the working class in our lifetime. Capital has always had a mountain of contempt for the power of labor. That's why they're going bonkers over this and tripping over themselves to throw what seems like unfathomable sums of money at it.

A person can exist without a government.

A corporation needs a charter from the government.

A corporation can't exist without a government.

A corporation is therefore an extension of the government and can't be a person.

Stuff we should probably relearn from #children:

- Crying when stressed/sad
- Squatting down to rest
- Staying in place when lost
- Not answering intrusive questions #ShowerThought

C’est correct pour ma timeline de se moquer de la taille d’un délinquant mais ça le serait moins de se moquer de sa corpulence ou de sa neuroatypie par exemple.

L'optimisation c'est de droite. La sur-optimisation mène forcément au fascisme.

#showerthought The ills of the world aren't #money It's laziness. People want other people to do things for them, and there is a big demand for that. People are abhorred about how poor I am, but how rich I am. Wyoming self-sufficiency, maybe, or living in a country where everything is so goddamned expensive. But, I do all my own medical shit, because I know how. Sewed myself up from slicing my thumb. Hunting, fishing, gardening, drywall. I'm not lazy and that saves money. Need less of the shit.

Images like this always make me want to work in #astrophysics and #astronomy stuff. It's just amazing what humans have achived.

And it's at the same time really sad that we still destroy our planet and fight each other. I maen after thusands of years aren't we really that stupid to not understand how stuff works on earth and that war and all other stuff just make living here for a lot of people really bad. #showerthought

"Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself."

My 1000 IQ brain at 2am: "What if Epstein is actually still alive?"

Everyone on about wanting to see the Epstein files but now I wanna see his remains.

#showerthought How many #pedophiles do you think are on #TruthSocial and are they going to do the age verification thing too?
