We compared smart ring heart rate data with smartwatches, and the results may surprise you (...Instead, it's the Amazfit Helio Ring that won the hardware accuracy contest. And since Amazfit recently discounted it to $199 and made its pricey subscriptions free, the Helio Ring has become more appealing.
On the other hand, the Helio Ring has unresolved problems like the limited number of sizes (three), short battery life (four days), and lack of automatic workout detection.) androidcentral.com/wearables/s…

Our smart ring heart rate accuracy test measured how Oura, Samsung, Amazfit, Ultrahuman, and RingConn do when compared against smartwatches.

In Wales, if you want a bwca or bwbachod (a goblin who cleans your home), then leave out a cup of cream each night (or better yet, a cup of ale). However, bwcas hate teetotalers. If you refuse to drink alcohol, they may kick you or throw your plates at you.

Tak to nezávidím.
Chce to hodně promastit, ideálně nějaký krém s kakaovým máslem, makadamovým olejem. Ale dobrý je i samotný olivový olej, nebo sádlo to je TOP.
No a před prací doporučuji promazat vazelínou, ta vytvoří tenký film, který chvilku vydrží i ten Jar.
Doporučovat rukavice je předpokládám zbytečné.

Musí to mít ve složení to, co jsem psal třeba kakaové máslo makadamový olej, olivový olej, nebo klidně použít to sádlo.
Pokud se bavíme o krému z drogerie, tak doporučuji tento: rossmann.cz/krem-na-ruce-s-oli…

Obsahuje jak kakaové máslo, tak olivový olej, vstřebává se rychle.

Ongoing discussion, but it looks like Bitwarden may be starting to make moves towards no longer being open source:

github.com/bitwarden/clients/i…

Previous issues opened against the SDK have been met with replies that suggest they have no intention of reconsidering the licensing decision:

This: #antiracist vs "not racist".

If you want to start on that education, I really recommend reading "So You Want To Talk About Race" by Ijeoma Oluo.
I've previously recommended "White Fragility" by Robin DiAngelo, which was good as an initial bridge - a white person talking to white people why they should care to be antiracist. But she's since turned that into a whole white savior consultant business, which is gross.
Ijeoma Oluo though? Her words as another woman of color _gave me breathing space_. She wrote all the things that I'm too exhausted to bring up with my white friends anymore. She wrote that, so the rest of us BIPOC don't have to anymore - it's a book of empowerment like that, in a big way.

And this is why I implore everyone to read that book, even if you need "White Fragility" as a stepping stone first.

Antiracist vs. "Not Racist" by #TheRealDrBatGuy A wheel with 4 icons on the left for "Antiracist" opposite 4 icons on the right for "Not Racist" (with quotation marks). Top icons: Antiracist - an eye icon for Awareness: Being aware of your own biases, privileges, and how you benefit from white supremacy Not Racist - a struck through eye icon for Colorblindness: Saying things such as "I don't see color" or "I don't care whether you are Black, white, or purple" Middle top icons: Antiracist - an ear icon for Listening: Leaning in and listening without centering your own experiences and whiteness, owning your mistakes and not getting defensive Not Racist - multiple location icons grouped together for Proximity: Making comments like, "My husband/kids/uncle/brother/friend/roommate is Black, so I can't be racist!" Middle bottom icons: Antiracist - book with lamp icons for Education: Educating yourself on race, racism, and white supremacy, paying Black educators (not expecting free education) Not Racist - a circle with an x icon for Avoidance: Avoiding conversations about race and racism, and asserting that talking about racism perpetuates it Bottom icons: Antiracist - a megaphone icon for Activism: Speaking out in your personal life, professional life, and social media, and calling people out/in as needed Not Racist - a struck through speaker icon for Silence: Staying silent when others make racist comments or jokes, noting that it's ok as long as you are not the one saying it

#Bitwarden is no longer free software.

The new code introduces a dependency on @bitwarden/sdk-internal, whose license explicitly states that it can’t be used by any software other than Bitwarden.

That violates the freedom 0 of free software (I can do whatever I want with the source code as long as my output is also free and open).

This seems to be part of a long strategy from Bitwarden to gradually pull the rug under their “free and open” principles and turn the product into a closed product after gaining sufficient market share.

And it’s a reminder that open projects maintained by companies should never, ever, ever be trusted.

In my case I already moved to Vaultwarden a while ago. I had a hunch that Bitwarden was going in this direction, plus running 15 .NET containers on my box just to run a password manager seemed pure insanity to me.

I advise everyone to move away from Bitwarden too before it’s too late.

Inspired by a recent podcast, I read this article on digital minimalism. Interestingly, I think I'm already much of the way there: very little interaction with corporate social media, no difficulty leaving the phone at home when going to a concert, for example, no desire to use technology when I'm meeting people or at a conference - even a technology conference.
I'm reasonably selective about what podcasts or radio to listen to, what fora to engage in, what to read online, etc., although there are probably some that I could remove without loss of substantial value.
I prioritize creation over consumption in general.

Good news and bad news.
#Conversations_im 2.17.0 has support for emoji reactions 🎉
Since @Codeberg appears to be under constant DDoS attacks they have added pretty strict rate limits that the @fdroidorg build server keeps running into. 😞
Another build cycle just failed and it's unclear when 2.17.0 will be available on F-Droid.
Maybe Codeberg and F-Droid can back channel an allow list or something? 🙏
A chat bubble in the Conversations app with the message 'hi all. I'm trying to take a screenshot for Mastodon. Can I get some reactions on this message?!' and a bunch of reactions to said message.

Fantastic wide-ranging discussion about websites and browsers for a generalist to be aware of. You don't need to know how to do everything, but you DO need a huge contextual awareness across the stack to solve hard problems. Even a hint. 13min

I emphasize how important even knowledge of a thing being a thing helps. And it will seem utterly useless in the moment. It matters later, you will be completely surprised random tech stuff you did 20 years earlier randomly comes up as important. Try things, even Linux.
