Oh honestly...
So I make a mistake during a game of 1000 miles, meaning I get trounced. Then I accidentally shut down the computer when instead, I'm trying to copy files from my downloads. And then my bleeping computer almost goes and puts me back on the shut down button a second time.
Yet, trust @daygar to make me laugh out loud twice in five minutes.
Perfect antidote dot com!

I saw my aunt this weekend. I always admired her growing up: she was a dedicated dancer, bird watcher, traveler, and general arts-enjoyer. I took up ballet and piano because I wanted to be just like her.

I just found out that she started all of those hobbies after she got sober in her 40s, shortly before I was born. Her defining characteristics, in my eyes, have occupied less than half of her life.

It was a nice reminder that you can start a new chapter of your life whenever you’d like.

@neurrone I upgraded the motherboard and video card. You can find an accessible description of the framework here:
community.frame.work/t/framework-16-visually-impaired-owners-case-mid-plate-and-mainboard-orientation-guide/51168
And step by step instructions are here:
guides.frame.work/Guide/Mainboard/283?lang=en
Between these two things, you have enough to get the job done.

When you have to re-enter your bitlocker key, it boots into a recovery version of Windows, where you can load narrator, enter your key, and restart.

Koťátka! Budu končit v současné práci, čas na nová dobrodružství. Ještě nevím, do čeho se přesně chci pustit. Ale jedna věc, která mě láká, je naučit se Rust. Je to bizarní dotaz, ale nehodil by se vám někomu člověk, co se naučí #Rust a bude pak pro vás dělat nějaké systémové věci? Jsem čistotný, programuju 30+ let ve všem možném od Basicu přes Pascal, C, assembler, Objective-C a Swift až po TypeScript. (Chápu, že ta konverzace je v principu složitější, ale to můžem vždycky dohnat později.)

Human memorie is *not* relyable. I know we get told it by all the security fanatics, but I'll take it serious from now on. Been walking through the world as usual, unlocking my phone with the fingerprint as always, and suddanly, when I needed to enter my PIN again, I forgot it. Gone, viped from my head. And no, I don't use my birthday as literally everyone. And it didn't return. Eventually I exceeded the atempts and my phone bricket itself for uh, about 3 hours. The thing is, I hhave written my PIN down, in my Bitwarden vault, and in an encryptet container at home. But I was in anothher city. So I had to return home with no phone, so no checking the train deparchure, no entertainment, no calls or locationsharing, nothing. It worked, thanks to my friends and some nice people on the way, but danm. Gonna take a backup phone more frequently now.

Undoubtedly, and keep in mind that the memories of blind people are often considered fairly good compared to others. Having said that, it's just not enough. If you don't use a PIN or password daily, or at least don't use it often, you will almost certainly forget it. This has been my experience, at least. It's one of the minor reasons I like using my PIN/pass, rather than any other method to access the data.

Meredith Whittaker (@Mer__edith) has been invited to speak at #39C3 later today. If you make it to the mic in time, here is an interesting question for her: "If I’m put on a boycott list by the Trump regime because I’m openly anti-fascist or oppose war crimes, will you adhere to US laws and block my access to #Signal?"

The EU will launch the digital euro as a 100% European digital payments system to replace reliance on Visa, Mastercard, and Apple and Google Pay, with the European Central Bank issuing a digital form of cash. It will be built entirely in Europe, have zero transaction fees, instant payments, and strong privacy, giving the EU full control over its payments infrastructure.

@hub we crossed the border at Cape Canaveral a couple of months ago. 3200 cruise passengers, it was pretty... cruisey. i suspect we were considered low risk.

however, it is a big planet. i don't need the stress of crossing that border again without the US wanting to welcome foreigners again.

there are loads of other places in the world - hello! canada!!! - that are available.

Wir haben den Barrierefreiheits-Talk vom #39c3 auseinandergenommen, denn er war weder gut noch lehrreich.

Er enthielt Inspiration Exploitation, extrem unsaubere und fehlerhafte Ausführungen zu den WCAG, illegale und behinderten Schadende Rätschläge, und einen gänzlich fehlenden Blick für die Systematik.

Insgesamt war er leider dem CCC in keinster Weise würdig. Leider ist er innerhalb der letzten Stunden zu einem der meistgesehenen Talks zum Thema überhaupt geworden.

holy shit they might have found cure for Alzheimer's

edit: for those who can't log in

bsky post by sailorrooscout:

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

note: the first trials were on mice, but they're promising
