The Domino Effect of Kindness
Sometimes called the "domino effect," the cascade initiated by a single act of kindness can inspire others to act similarly. For instance, holding the door for someone may compel them to pay it forward later in the day, and this melding of kindness can exponentially accelerate positive interactions within a community.

I've had a couple of times on my instance where a user I am trying to follow is showing as me requesting to follow them. I've fixed it by unfollowing them on my side and then waiting for a while for whatever cleanup to happen then following them again. Have you tried following the user by going to their page and choosing the follow button and going through that process?

I'm still trying to get through more of the Wandering Inn. So when the author released a truly large chapter and said they were taking a month break, I rejoiced. Because maybe I can get closer to caught up. I'm still way ahead of the audio and want to read that at some point, but some day I hope I can catch the chapters as they are released. So my resolution is to read a chapter or two of this thing a day, and maybe in a few months or ten, I'll have caught up. I'm on 8.59 now, audio is probably about 80 chapters behind me. I sincely hope that the author doesn't switch to AI narration or something before she gets to book 60 of this thing. I estimate, if all audio were published now, it'd take 60 to 80 books, countless hours, and I'm all inn.

Man, I am caught up on all the chapters, but I miss so much details, when looking at the subredit, for example, people talking about things I don't even remember reading.
I think it’s because it just registers in my brain differently, or something, like tts vs the actual human naration.
But yeah it’s crazy the end of year chapter is almost the same length as the first Harry Potter book lol.

It's the death day for MacUpdater. It was a great service, going to really miss it.

Happy New Year from HKC Radio!

A word about content today. The Digital Domain Online Radio Show will air its annual New Year's Day special tonight at 7 PM EST. It does feature some Christmas leftovers, which is why our Christmas replays are running still. For those who simply do not wish to Christmas anymore, @nick really sympathizes.

The replays will quietly end during the show and regular automation will resume.

Them: Can you confirm you have no more than 15 personal electronic devices in your carry on?

Me: (excitedly infodumping) Well, it really depends what you consider to be a device. Many of these computers themselves contain multiple smaller computers. Consider these microSD cards (waves a small anti-static bag around), each of which has a tiny ARM processor - designed by a trans person from the BBC Micro team, if I might go off at a tangent for a moment. Or the battery controller chip on the LiPo pouch protection circuit, which significantly reduces the probability of a thermal excursion. And let's face it, nobody wants a spicy pillow in their lap at 30,000 feet-

Them: Just say yes. (Pleadingly) Just yes. That's all I'm asking. I'm begging you.

This year at #39C3, it felt that the congres was bursting at the seams. Nearly all of the assemblies I know complained about having less room and less tables then requested. The infrastructure review posted numbers e.g. about ~20% more DECT-phone calls, more internet usage then ever, ....

And, by chance, I consulted the wikipedia page about CCC:de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_Co… , which also lists the (approximate) number of visitors: 16K this year and only 14.5K last year. Time to go to #leipzig again?

Thinking back to last year I remembered the us-east-1 outage, how it affected Signal and how some of the users freaked out that they have to rely on US hyperscalers.

Wouldn't it be useful if @signalapp (and maybe similar providers) published their infra requirements with little crosses and ticks, so alternative providers could aim for "good enough for Signal" service levels?

Today, Bulgaria adopts the euro as its official currency. 💶

A new currency, a stronger bond with Europe.

Travel, work, and business will become easier and more connected.

With Schengen now fully in place, this means more freedom, more opportunities, and a shared future.

Progress is not a dream. It is a choice. And Bulgaria has chosen it.

Let's keep moving forward together. 🇪🇺🇧🇬

An image features two coins, one with a map of Europe and the denomination '1 EURO', and the other (representing the other side of the coin) depicting a religious figure holding a cross. The coins are connected by a ribbon with the colours of the Bulgarian flag, set against a backdrop of Sofia cityscape with mountains in the distance. At the top, it says 'WELCOME TO THE EURO BULGARIA!'"

Just a reminder that you really should #BoycottFigma.

The fact they slurp all your designs into their slop machines by default, and you have to go opt-out if you don't like them stealing your creative work…**all in a product which literally exists to aid creators**…makes me nauseous.

There are other design apps you can use! Really, there are!

My early morning thought: I must be the only blind person who isn’t a musician, an internet radio DJ, or a YouTuber/streamer of video games. Okay, I know I’m not, and this is a generalization, but there are definitely a lot of these people. Oh, and I forgot ham radio operators and vapers!

Muž v Budějovicích odpaloval zakázanou pyrotechniku. Utrhla mu obě ruce

Vážné zranění utrpěl zhruba třicetiletý muž v Českých Budějovicích, když během silvestrovské noci odpaloval zakázanou pyrotechniku. Ta mu explodovala v rukou a amputovala obě končetiny v zápěstí. Policisté případ řeší jako nedovolené ozbrojování.

Eine Sache hätte ich gern im alten #Jahr zurück gelassen: #MECFS @shroombab@chaos.social hat gut zusammengefasst was ich in den letzten Jahren auch teils immer wieder erlebt und aufs Neue lernen musste. Ich möchte das hier zu Beginn des Jahres posten, um allen Betroffenen #Mut zu machen - trotz allem. Und natürlich wünsche ich generell Betroffenen und nicht Betroffenen einen sensiblen Umgang mit der Sache, Hilfe, Besserung. #Gesundheit

Na loňském #OpenAlt jsem slyšel komentář, že v Česku se spotové ceny elektřiny nevyplatí. Zanesl jsem tedy do grafu spotových cen za minulý rok také fixní ceny ze standardního ceníku ČEZu. V 84% časových úseků jsou spotové ceny levnější než nejlevnější nabídka #ČEZ. Měl-li bych odběrné místo s průběhovým měřením, rozhodně bych přešel na spotové ceny.

spot je bezesporu budoucnost, ale zatím pragmaticky zůstávám u fixu, protože v našem případě vyjde líp. My ze sítě odebereme 5 MWh a to téměř výhradně v zimě, kdy je spot vysoko, a do sítě pošleme 2 MWh a to téměř výhradně v létě, kdy spot často klesá i do záporu.
Hrozně se mi líbí, co dělá DeltaGreen, kdy se nejedná jen o prostý prodej přetoků, ale domácí baterie se stává součástí služby výkonnové rovnováhy. Jen to pro naši domácnost zatím nedává ekonomický smysl.

S tím létem je to složitější. I v takovém dni jako byl 10. srpen (spotovaelektrina.cz/denni-ceny…) je možné dodávat do sítě se ziskem, jen člověk nesmí nejdřív nabíjet baterii a pak teprve prodávat. Mezi 7.00 a 8.00 už mi panely vyráběly průměrně přes 2 kW…
No a odpoledne to chce zapnout všechno, co se dá, aby se ten účet za elektřinu trochu zmenšil. 😉

Ich bin jetzt in dem Alter, in welchem ich immer häufiger (Blog-)Texte, die in Light- oder anderen Zier-Schriften geschrieben sind, ins Notizbuch kopieren muss, um sie dort entspannt lesen zu können.
Nicht wegen der Schriftgröße, sondern wegen der fehlenden Kontraste.

Zu lighte Fonts sind, finde ich persönlich, nicht inklusiv. Ich bin da vermutlich nicht die einzige.

Liebe Blogger*innen, sorgt bitte dafür, dass eure Artikel vollständig, also nicht nur als Auszüge, in Readern mit meist gut lesbaren Fonts lesbar sind. Danke!
