Girl-type-entity who almost got 5 and a half hours sleep.

For those of you without ADHD or AuDHD, or insomnia for different reasons, that's about as much as we can expect to get most nights.

It's been about our average over the last month.

Our realistic target is 6+ hours.

Our ideal is 7+ hours. .

Anything much beyond 7 is a luxury we don't get to experience any more, except on very rare occasions.

8+ hours of actual sleep, not just time in bed, on a regular basis just isn't on the cards for us.

Carpe Diem!

Heute ist der zweite Digital Independence Day.

Wäre heute nicht ein guter Tag, um einen Messenger auszuprobieren, der einen offiziellen Standard nutzt, d.h. den Weg von Instant Messaging zu Independent Messaging zu beschreiten?

Einen ganz einfachen Weg, der deine persönlichen Bedürfnisse berücksichtigt und dabei auch die Souveränität deiner Mitmenschen verbessert, findest du hier: imday.de/

Viel Erfolg!

Good morning everyone!!! :)

I’ve had a long and crappy week especially with this horrible weather.

Always remember to be kind to each other and you matter so much. You deserve the best and most amazing moments.

Today we are gonna be talking about hyperbolic orbits

A hyperbolic orbit describes the path of an object that passes through a gravitational system only once and never returns. Unlike circular or elliptical orbits, a hyperbolic trajectory is open, meaning the object has enough speed to escape the gravity of the body it encounters. In our solar system, some comets and interstellar objects follow hyperbolic orbits, briefly swinging past the Sun before heading back into deep space. These paths have an eccentricity greater than one, a key mathematical signature of escape. Hyperbolic orbits are important because they reveal objects that originated elsewhere. A few examples include Oumuamua and 31/ATLAS.

I didn’t get a chance to ask the question during the panel, so I’ll ask it out-loud here :)

I tend to have a mental model of behaviour that I think about on social media: interaction level and collective level.

If you want to moderate interaction level content, then that’s things like “is this image problematic” or “is this person harassing someone else” and so on. That seems to be what the DSA mostly addresses? Which is great! We need more protection there

But the collective level is something I’m curious about: what happens when attacks are designed to be “harmless” or “not violating” at the interaction-level, yet deeply harmful at the collective level? How does one defend against a synthetic threat carefully designed to target a vulnerable collective in a way that no interaction level defense is really capable of handeling?

Do we have regulations around this yet? Is it a problem we’re trying to address at the governance level? (I know the tooling is nearly non existent, but slowly starting to emerge. It would be encouraging to see similar momentum in governance)

Знаете, мне кажется, мы иногда упускаем интересные эпизоды из жизни дикой природы. У охотников есть термин — чернотроп. Это период, когда зима ещё не наступила, а осень вступает в свою самую глубокую фазу. Серый пейзаж с сухой листвой, низкое тяжёлое небо. В этот момент дикие животные становятся столь же неброскими. Как эта лисица, которую я сфотографировал в декабре. Она была в процессе линьки, её окрас блеклый и потрёпанный, совсем не тот, что мы обычно видим на фото.

Я тогда гулял возле реки и, заметив движение, присел с камерой. На мне не было маскировки, но ожидание было недолгим. Через несколько минут появилась лисица. Она даже не взглянула в мою сторону и пробежала мимо. В период линьки животные теряют свою осторожность. Но, заметив меня, лисица сразу пустилась наутёк.

Теперь, когда зима в разгаре, все лисы снова в своих шубках, и ничего не напоминает об их облезлых нарядах чернотропа. А мне удалось запечатлеть одну из них в непривычном виде.

What if we used Decentralised Communication backends for more than instant messaging and calls?
