Notice how the cryptotechbro edgelord response to problems is to colonise space and go to Mars.

So... migration.

Their immediate, knee jerk intuitive reaction to big problems in their environment is to migrate.

Yet hate migrants.

Hmm, interesting.

»Zu den folgenschwersten Irrtümern gehörte bisher, daß man der Jugend alles sie anscheinend Gefährdende fernhalten wollte. Nein, nahebringen muß man es ihr, damit sie richtig sehen und richtig denken lernt. […] Mit der Muttermilch sollen sie es elnsaugen: Fortschritt muß sich zu allererst auf dem Gebiet der *Liebe* bemerkbar machen, auf dem Felde der verkrüppelten Menschenliebe.«

(Franziska Mann in "Den Erwachenden", 1921)

@SamantazFox I try my best, but unfortunately forget it far too often, apologies! Working on it – but as usual, I cannot promise what I'm not sure being able to fulfill ("will do so every time now")…

That said: thanks for your nudging me. It helps me to improve knowing there are people I'd help with that. And not "a vague group", but *specific* people. So yeah, keep nudging 😉

Teaching how to create sketchnotes is one of my big passions, but nothing compares the joy when seeing others thrive with it! @acbdev created a sketchnote for my talk from this week, and I couldn’t be any prouder. I mean look at it!!! Thank you so much Anna ❤️ I love it!

Twice, now, I have started reading it to find it incomplete.
It is finished.
I am going to start it again one more time and I hope the ending is satisfying.

I tried keeping up with the individual chapters as they were released, but that never works for me. I'm like, wasn't Harry in Ravenclaw last time I read this? I thought Justin Finch-Fletchley was dead! Oh... wrong story.
in reply to James Scholes

@jscholes I can't do that. if I see a fic is incomplete I put it in rotation to check again. But I don't sit and read at the computer anymore, I think the last book I did that with was out in 2011.

I know it's only November, but I'd like to make a request: if you are buying toys for kids in the next couple of months, and think you might have old ones that you want to clear out, please consider donating them before the holidays rather than after. Shelters and charities always get a glut of donations in January, but they'd be more useful to the families who need them now rather than then. Thank you.


"Dear Colton Scott,

This email is to confirm that your [...] password has been reset."

Ok Colton, are you good now? Maybe using my email address for that service was not the best idea.

in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

I got the domain I'm using for my mails "used" a couple of years ago, so it was previously registered by another person.

There was a Paypal account tied to it and I constantly got the password reset mails until I disabled the address tied to the account.

This was annoying, especially since I had no idea how to get in touch with the owner.

I hold some first name domains in .de and have set up a catchall mail account for them. Got some interesting accounts in past years, but not anymore recently. I guess more accounts are bound to phone numbers now instead of email addresses.


Everyone should read the brilliant @emptywheel 's new piece on Musk and X/Twitter. We know what he has done over there is bad, but the depths of the criminal depravity can only be described as horrific. Empywheel has been on the case for over a decade, and has done a great job of laying it out here:

"Jezz Bezos and Elon Musk emit more carbon pollution in 90 minutes than the average human does in their entire life."
...
“Half of the world’s emissions come from the richest 10% of people. The wealthiest 1% by income account for 16% of emissions, which is more than the poorest two-thirds of people in the world,”

Gentle, biannual reminder that RSS is great and can be another tool in your toolbox to curate your online experience, improve mental health, and stay informed. It's also a much more accessible way to consume news if you have a client that handles full-text extraction. I've just updated my public list of RSS feeds after going nearly a whole year without doing so: tristanb.me/feeds/. this is a comprehensive list of most of the feeds that I follow, split up by category. #RSS #accessibility

in reply to Tristan

What's your setup for following those now? There are a lot of reader options and I have no idea what's considered good and up-to-date. Do you still sync them on a server?
in reply to Simon Jaeger (Procrastodon)

@simon I self-host miniflux.app/ and use lire on mobile, which has native support for Miniflux out of the box. Lire provides native push notifications and the ability to edit, add, or remove feeds/folders, and the Miniflux web app is an exemplary experience with great keyboard support when on desktop. I haven't changed this setup in years and it just works™️.
in reply to Tristan

Miniflux is fantastic. I have been running a private instance for years without issues, except when reddit blocks it.

On the Mac, you can use NetNewsWire, which uses the Googld Reader API integration, it works quite well.

in reply to Erion

@erion @simon I didn't realize NetNewsWire could hook into Google Reader compatible things. This is good to know. I've had it installed for years and never really got too deep into using it.
in reply to Tristan

The only reason why I am aware is because I didn't really want to read via the browser and Miniflux does not provide an aggregated rss feed to subscribe to. I really need to sit down one day and just send them a PR.
in reply to Tristan

IMO, email / imap is a far better protocol for this than RSS. Unread statuses and the articles themselves sync between devices, so do folders, and it's all interoperable and supported by almost anything.


“Oxfam identified 23 superyachts owned by 18 billionaires and estimates the average annual carbon footprint of each of these yachts to be 5,672 tonnes, which is more than three times the emissions of the #billionaires’ private jets... This is equivalent to 860 years of emissions for the average person in the world, and 5,600 times the average of someone in the global poorest 50%.”

Wow, what an email: "Congratulations! Your #RIPE Atlas probe XXXX is 10 years old!" - I got this probe from @Oskar456 at #OpenAlt This does not have much publicity, so you may read about it (and get one) at atlas.ripe.net/probes/public


I wasn't sure if there was a tool out there to quickly add a program to the user startup folder in Windows, so I sat down and wrote one myself. I just used it on @masonasons's BNT program. I'll release this thing if people want it.
in reply to Stu

I mean if I've got to find the path to the executable anyway, it's no hardship to run shell;startup and make a shortcut to it. if more people knew how to make shortcuts they'd be better windows users

Got a very rancid scam text just now which I’ve pasted below. Warn your friends and family to look out for crap like this. It’s all fake.

The winter heating subsidy benefit plan provided by the government reminds you:
November is about to begin the severe cold period of this winter. The local council will decide to issue you a winter heating subsidy. If you can receive our information to prove that you meet the conditions for receiving it, there is no age limit for this subsidy plan. You can apply in the link Once you apply, we will review and issue it as soon as possible without affecting your receipt of other benefits.

Thank you for your support to the UK Government.

in reply to Andre Louis

I've never understood how these people can set up webforms to capture all sorts of data, make sites look as official as possible by scraping logos and designing cunningly similar subdomains to the real gov ones, even putting genuine contact links at the bottoms of emails and such.

And then writing things like 'provided by the government reminds you'. Which is just not phrasing that we use, you know?

in reply to Andre Louis

yeah, same sort of thing. Just the ... not incorrect english by the book, perhaps, but ... meh. I can't say what I'm trying to say
in reply to Andre Louis

@cachondo a lot of this is intentional apparently, it's a way to filter out the people who are unlikely to get scammed very early on.


“El president de la Generalitat dijo a las 13.00 horas en un vídeo que la Dana se debilitaba a las 18.00 y se iba a Cuenca, cuando los expertos y los meteorólogos de todas las televisiones insitían en lo contrario. Se congratuló públicamente de que no hubiera “alerta hidrológica” poco después de que su propio departamento de Emergències la hiciera pública.”

There must be a way to make Foobar2000 play the audio from .ts streams and ignore the video, it plays so many other things. Right now when I try, it makes very weird digital screaming noise which would probably sound fine through a reverb, but not at all nice close-up.
in reply to Andre Louis

Just tried with an older satellite TV recording, and it plays perfectly using the aditional FFmpeg Decoder Wrapper extension. Maybe you have to pass some additional arguments for the ts file type in your case?
in reply to Steffen

@radiorobbe Mine are UK TV streams that I run on a raspberry pi, so it's not local. Local files do play I think.


Que un grupo fascista tenga estatutos de sindicato para poder personarse judicialmente como parte en todo lo que se les ocurra, muy del espíritu de la Ley de Libertad Sindical no es.

¿Hasta cuándo abusarás de nuestra paciencia, "Manos Limpias"?

in reply to modulux

@modulux
Algún sindicato debería denunciar el fraude de ley de constituir sindicatos para fines distintos del que tienen. Por ejemplo.
O un denunciado por ellos pedir amparo al constitucional por ser denunciado por un sindicato de dudoso estatus...
in reply to Cloaca Maxima

Ojalá, hay abuso de derecho manifiesto. Es peligroso ponerse a decidir que es un sindicato y que no, sobre todo con los jueces que tenemos, pero este en particular canta mucho.
