8 hours of sleep. 8 hours working as an unprofessional front-end dev @hactar.is On my other 8 hours I poke my blog, take photos of my cat & try my best. 📧 hello@anarodrigu.es Keen on IndieWeb, CSS, sustainability, plants, crafts she/her ohhelloana.blog

humm mildly annoyed that the current "youtube intellectual/ psychology/productivity AI slop aesthetic" looks a lot like my blog's current layout (made online in 2021 I think - pre AI). What do I even re-design it into since I've used that style since I was a child? 👹

"It also detected an “unintended consequence” of the ban: the proportion of parents who didn’t know their child had used social media increased by 10%." Spookily enough, this complacency side effect is precisely one of the things we warned about with this and the Online Safety Act in the UK.

Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...

So Gatwick south terminal has decided to remove the lovely soft play area for kids. The new kids area is by the gates in a dark corner. It’s tiny with hard floors and it sucks imo. Last time I was in the north terminal (June), the kids area was still “in renovation” after one year.

What’s with the audio in this last series of the great British sewing bee?? I’m on iplayer, and it doesn’t matter how much I increase the volume, nothing meaningful happens. This has been happening in so many shows in different apps too 😡

Yesterday I was on a call talking about the indieWeb in Portuguese and oof. The brain power of translating and saying things I only ever thought in English was a whole workout. 😮‍💨

the most realistic scene in Jurassic Park is when two scientists make a questionable decision — traveling to an undisclosed location with a strange man — on the promise of three years of modest funding

I'm currently compiling a much delayed list of links to share on my blog. One thing that takes more time than you think is finding the name authors want to be addressed by. Most times it isn't on the post. Or footer. Let alone in the meta. Gang, put your lovely name next to the cool things you do!

Jurassic Park is one of the most important films of our time as it speaks on the subject of the responsibility that must go hand in hand with technology. Even just the lines "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should" and...
