Seth Godin, on point as always: https://seths.blog/2023/01/the-lonely-zone/ "more important is to decide to show up in the lonely zone. When it might not work. When the originator really needs your support. When speaking up, donating or simply showing up feels like a risk or a waste."
@ricard Just want to thank you for your "Improving Mastodon’s disk usage" post, it has really helped me out. From there I also found your photography and other posts. You're an inspiring person! Thank you.

“The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work, who felt their own creative power restive and uprising, and gave to it neither power nor time.”

https://www.theredhandfiles.com/chat-gpt-what-do-you-think/ Nick Cave on ChatGPT: Songs arise out of suffering, by which I mean they are predicated upon the complex, internal human struggle of creation and, well, as far as I know, algorithms don’t feel. Data doesn’t suffer. ChatGPT has no inner being, it has been nowhere, it has endured nothing, it has not had the audacity to reach beyond its limitations, and hence it doesn’t have the capacity for a shared transcendent experience.
