Generally I like this season of Discovery. It's an action fetch quest and not very philosophical, but it's fun and has competence porn, and they do manage to get a bit of moral questions and human condition in there.

What annoys me is all the little details that feel like they didn't make effort to keep it solid. Like when Burnham says over and over that people can trace their warp signature, even though they have themselves highlighted that their shrooms give them a unique advantage.

Demystifying the Breen was a bad choice, I think.

Since you joined the company almost all of your contributions have been "great". Some of them have been "awesome", but sadly none of them have been even near "absolutely bonkers", which is what we're really going for at this company.

We thought we hired a rockstar, but it seems we misjudged. We're sorry, but we're gonna have to let you go.

Street chlorine smell intensifies.

Did they measure elevated covid levels in the waste water? I suspect that's the reason why.

This will all make sure that we are working on the right things, solving the right problems and genuinely improving how the various teams do their work, rather than imposing some tools on them that just add to their daily frustrations.

It's not even lunch yet, but I am already satisfied with my contribution today.

I am pleased to say that while I dreaded the followup meeting today, it turned out to go very smoothly, was productive, and brought up several points we hadn't previously considered. We have a clear way forward that satisfies everyone.

The most agitated party of last week had read my notes thoroughly, was happy that their points had been considered and validated, and had constructive and valid input to today's meeting.

I was in a particularly contentious meeting last week. It was a one hour meeting, it took two hours, and in the first hour we discussed nothing about the points I thought the meeting would be about. Voices were raised, people were interrupting each other.

I suggested that I should write the meeting minutes. I took several days to do so and I had a high level of anxiety while alternating between procrastinating (doing other tasks) and staring at the screen. I lost one whole night of sleep. In the end though, I had produced a document that I felt captured everyone's concerns and was a fair representation of what was really being discussed.

@Hypolite Petovan I don't agree with everything and find a few things reactionary and uninformed, but I do agree with several things, possibly because I'm interpreting them through my own biases ... maybe he's more reactionary than I take him for:

1. Many parents are overprotective and don't allow their kids to make mistakes.

I have allowed my kid to take physical risk, and to brush it off if there's been no serious harm. At the same time I've been clear what risks are not acceptable, and why, and been compassionate and present when he has been hurt due to his own actions or those of others.

2. We should be very careful and deliberate about how we allow kids to use social media.

My kid has had internet devices early on, but we have recurring discussions about what he's watching, we watch many things together, and I've been careful with how much of his own words and voice he has been allowed to expose, and explained why, and he has gradually negotiated getting more of himself out there in a safe enough way.

3. No phones during the school day.

Yes, why, just why. Kid's school just doesn't allow it. There's enough time to play at home.

4. Online friends cannot replace face to face interactions.

Haidt and I probably mean this to very different degrees, but this is why I want to travel and meet more fedi people. And I'm glad that kid hangs with both entirely-internet friends but also classmates and former classmates when he's online, and we parents arrange for them to meet and do things in person outside school.

Jordan Klepper interviews Jonathan Haidt about how to give children a childhood and create anti-fragile children:

@The Nexus of Privacy Yes, after looking again I'd want better evidence that the first mention there was actually related to the free social web.

@Yohan Yuki Xieㆍ사요한・謝雪矢

I had a spark of inspiration to check the fediverse tag on RDN, but it only goes back to 2013-03, not even as far back as Katsma's twitter-mirrored posts. 😔

rainbowdash.net/tag/fediverse?…

@The Nexus of Privacy That's a cool timeline! And you actually have a receipt for "fediverse" in 2012-05, that's awesome.

I agree that it wasn't in general use. The skilledtests group "fediverse", e.g., wasn't created until 2013-07.

My timeline is based on people who were there agreeing that by the time Katsma was using it on Twitter in 2013-01, it had an established meaning.

The term was in use before identi.ca left OStatus, as people were creating more servers and moving away ahead of time. I haven't been able to find a hard source for that claim though, sorry.

"A brief timeline of Fedi and my life on it"

Well that failed, but here's me being actually brief. 😄
