Information overwhelm is a myth. The library always had more books than you could consume. What you're dealing with, is distraction overwhelm. Reduce the distractions and you automatically reduce the overwhelm.
I'm developing some software that produces data, except it has a problem with a common use case. So of course now I have an idea for an interesting optimisation.
Something for the folks new to Mastodon. It's generally considered polite to put politics behind a CW. It's honestly a depression and distressing topic these days.

I would also love to have/make an app which tells you what river you're beside and how that eventually flows into the sea/ocean. It's a type of distance that's not as the crow flies, but as the river flows.
The Rhône flows into the sea at the Mediterranean Sea. Let's give that a score of 1. The Saône flows into the Rhône, so that's a score of 2. The Doubs flows into it, giving a score of 3. Using only named waterways, I wonder what's the highest scoring thing?
(This is sorta related to Strahler number maybe. I could probably figure this out from #OpenStreetMap)
Reminder: instances hosted by people countries with anti-Nazi laws are legally obligated to ban Nazis. If you want to be sure you're in a Nazi-free zone, let that guide your instance choice.
TIL if you violate the license of Linux, you permanently lose the right to distribute it with no way to recover those rights even if you stop infringing.
This is because Linux famously left out the "or later version" clause in their GPLv2, and it has thousands of copyright holders so it can never change. (GPLv3 doesn't have this problem.)

RT @web_goddess@twitter.com: Read a comment this morning stating that #Maker culture is 80% male and had to laugh. Only if you discount the millions of #women sewing, knitting, weaving, and more. But oh right, they're just "#crafters." That artificial distinction enrages me. 😡

No one needs to starve. No one needs to freeze. No one needs to die. There is enough for everyone. More empty homes than all the people without them, more food than grocers can even sell. The labor and the materials to end scarcity exist now. It is not a far-off dream. We can end scarcity in this life.
