Way too stressful and busy as I get a lot of tasks assigned to me at work that shouldn't be part of my job. But I'm the only full-time employee, so yeah, fun fun fun...

BUT for my freelance job I get to a coastal city all weekend to shoot some content AND get paid to have a good time and enjoy the weekend. Hotel and food is also paid for. Pretty exciting as it's my first time having this type of luxury for a freelance job and just the fact that this is possible makes me really appreciate the good things in life

    Especially when they promote and use it out of "moral motivation" to "fight against twitter/big tech". You're still using a platform owned by one company. They're not really decentralized. There's nothing stopping them to go down the same path twitter did. They're funded by some questionable investors... Or, to quote something I recently read: "BlueSky is decentralized in the same way Total Energies is a green company."

    Fight big tech, yes, but know which platforms to use. And to counter all "but Mastodon etc. are boring": the more people making the shift to the fediverse, the less boring it gets.

    Edit to add: "shame" might be a heavy choice of words, but I don't know another term haha (English not a first language and all that)

     

    As an outsider (I live in Belgium) it feels very weird and dystopian to see everything happening in American politics with Trump and Musk.

    On one side, it's very interesting and almost entertaining; on the other side, it's scary. I can't imagine what it must be like to live in the USA.

    Americans, how do you cope? What's your take on the situation?
