I’m totally fine with the SWF engaging with Meta just like they would any other entity building software using ActivityPub.

Funding on the other hand is a different story. It sounds like Meta contributed to an overall fund in order to launch the SWF. OK, I suppose — but if there’s specific funding down the road for some specific project or funding in some way which appears to influence decision-making on which projects to work on or how to approach them, that’s when I have a huge problem with it.

Portland, Maine…just in case it’s not clear. (Wasn’t to me until I poked around the website a bit.)

My hot take is that short-term posture doesn’t matter all that much. If you have bad posture but you get up every 20 minutes and stretch/do chores/exercise for 5-10 minutes, you probably erase the original issues.

My one-two punch, if you’re looking for advice: make sure you use a chair that makes good posture easy, with your keyboard+mouse & monitor height well separated on your desk (if computing’s the main thing you’re doing as you work). And then make sure you’re getting a lot of activity throughout the day. Spans of 2, 3, 4, etc. hours just sitting at your desk will be really bad for you, no matter how good your posture is.

I guess what I’m saying is if you can either focus a lot on posture or focus a lot on physical activity routines, prioritize the latter. But both are certainly important.

Adam’s been making some of the best YouTube takedowns of corporate tomfoolery for a long time…glad to see him turn his talents towards an epic takedown of automobile culture! 😆

Yeah, I don’t care for the those kinds of jokes. However, I care for tone policing even less. Maybe the occasional comment like “ok buddy, maybe that one went a bit far” is fine, but now we’re having a entire thread about it and now I’m spending my time commenting on this instead of commenting on what is actually a Big Deal which is that cars in urban settings suck monkey balls.

(sorry monkeys!)
