Brain came up with “racist oatmeal” to describe an issue with LLM text generation in my notes and that’s it there’s my most productive moment of the day. Shouldn’t have peaked so early.

Another HR screening done.

These are rarely the challenging part for me. Kinda fun actually. But still.

The challenging part is always “we’re looking more for someone who’s an expert in $domain” and I’m all “did you not hear about the ADHD? Give me five minutes and I’ll be all the expert you need.”

Whoa, $2.94 commission from Design By Hümans! I sold something!

Oh wait that was @IamMrsGeek buying a shirt for herself back in December.

Look a sale is a sale.

Sitting in Windows until I remember how to make Linux play two sounds at once.

Something specific to Electron apps being muted if something else is playing sound, like music and / or games.

But my brain’s not in the space to care about that right now.

While I genuinely appreciate the sentiment floating around about ActivityPub being like RSS++ but the thing is I hardly ever have critical security vulnerabilities in my statically generated Web site and XML feeds. That’s kind of the point.

This isn’t even about ActivityPub which is very good. This is about me, who works extremely hard to maximize my laziness. Any service I have to host or interact with, that’s extra work.
