Been out for a walk first time by myself. It was nerve wracking but I was determined to grasp the nettle. Was so glad to have met a lady on crutches who had broken her ankle she was flying along what are the chances?! We chatted exchanged ankle break stories she gave me some good tips and she had built up to walking three times a day with longer walks she is just brilliant. I went “around the block” not too far and sat on a bench to take in the Autumn night air.

Keep it up! :) I wish you to get well soon and walk again like you used to. Also awesome you met someone who gave you tips. I wish you all the best. :)

For about 2 years I've been cursing that one of my two monitor arms didn't rise high enough. Today I finally engaged my brain and swapped the two arms around, so the monitor is on the one with tallest reach and laptop tray is on the less capable one. Problem sorted. 🤦


Oh, look. the Mozilla Foundation is asking for community feedback about what folk want them to focus on.

Anyone have opinions?

Quick Update:
This is for the Mozilla.org Foundation, that does outreach and education. (like the 0din project).

Mozilla.com are the folk that support and maintain Firefox and the like.

Data colonialism: A Microsoft AI Data Center Saps Water From A Small Mexican Town

After decades fighting against water bottling and beer companies, rural communities in Mexico are now also having to compete against Big Tech for water.

Development in the Global North has long come at the expense of the Global South as well as Black and indigenous frontline communities in places like Cancer Alley and Flint, Michigan.

@JonathanMosen@caneandable.socialI hope it proceeds smoothly. In my case (moving from Australia to the US to take up a nonprofit research job offer), there was a professional relocation consultant on the US side who assisted with many logistical issues - not a privilege for me specifically, but standard practice by my US-based employer at the time. This support helped immeasurably.


Next week, I need to travel to Denmark to visit a client. Their office is in some small town, and I wanted to book accommodation nearby, but there was nothing available. The Key Account Manager told me to go ahead and book a place in Legoland.

After much grumbling, I finally managed to pick a room!

in reply to Steve

Nice did you make that? Also, what kind of genre is that supposed to be? :D
in reply to Winter blue tardis🇧🇬🇭🇺

@tardis I did with help from Suno, because I'm neither female nor have such chops to play drums. Words are my own, though, as is the arrangement. Genre is heavy/symphonic metal.
in reply to Steve

Ah, interesting. Yeah I wondered about the female haha and then I was like, okay, this looks a bit like AI. But it's pretty cool soo.
in reply to Steve

I used to be able to play drums and I still sing, but I don't play drums so I wouldn't have been a lot of help to you I guess.

Friendly reminder that if you're designing any kind of personal information form and you decide to:

1. Validate names for "bad words"
2. Put a minimum characters limit on names
3. Have two separate fields for "first" and "last" name

Then you're doing it wrong with a shitload of very western-minded assumptions that are not universal and will cause issues

by ma zaujímalo či to niekoho napadlo pred tou zmenou tr. z., pretože o tom začínam pochybovať doteraz som bol skôr na tom že im to je jedno

Niekoho to zrejme aj napadlo, ale zamer bol dostat "seba a par kamosov" co najrychlejsie mimo riziko stihania a teda reci typu "to je komplikovame" sli stranou.

Tr. z. je komplexna vec, sucast este vacsej komlexnej veci: spolunazivanie.

Tu komplexitu evidentne zohladnili, lebo ak znizovali sadzby a limity za velke lupy, tak znizili aj za male. Lebo suvisi a prilis by bilo do oci ak by male neposunuli. 1/2

in reply to Peter Hanecak

2/2 Ale kedze, ako som uz pisal, pointa je "seba a par kamosov" + "rychlo", tak evidetne neostal cas riesit to komplexnejsie a kvalitnejsie. Ergo napr. dnesny paradox, ze napr. ukradnem 699€ a pokuta je max cca 300€. Alebo ze iny trest dostanem za ukradnutych 100k€ ak su od "unie" a iny ak su "nase" (slovenske).
in reply to Peter Hanecak

@phanecak myslíš že niekoho aj napadlo že následky budú môžu byť aj napr. frustrácia (alebo apatia s demotiváciou) a z nich plynúť situácie aké máme aj dnes? Dobre, a ak aj toto niekoho napadlo tak napadlo ich aj kto to bude musieť riešiť? No ja neviem neviem teda... :kekw:
in reply to SuspiciousDuck

Urcite napadlo. A odpovede:
- frustracia, apatia, … -> (aj ich) volici -> to nejako ukecaju² => nie ich¹ je problem
- kto bude riesit -> radovi policajti -> to nejako ukecaju alebo zaonacia³ => nie je ich¹ problem

¹ #SmerHlasMafia
² Simecka, Soros, …
³ nejake jednorazove odmeny, potriasacky rukou s Kalinakom v uniforme, …

T.j. vsetko to IMHO beru ako externality, ktore budu znasat ini a teda to je obet, ktoru oni¹ radi prijmu:

nemôžem stým súhlasiť lebo ak sa chceli očistiť mohli robiť iné zmeny ktoré by taktiež pútali pozornosť a možno by im ušetrili robotu - boli správne. Oni sú iba... a zlý. Asi by to nebolo také rýchle ale aj tak.

Github removing all cookie banners turned out working pretty well it seems :neocat_think_googly:




Cool, so my smart TV screen reader has been doing this thing where it cuts out before my AV receiver can actually read what it says, and now the thing is basically useless except as a display.

This is probably fine, both because the thing is a useless cesspool of advertising and surveillance, but also because I've been using my layoff-gifted hardware as a more capable media PC than the TV ever was. So I guess I just need 2 things:

  1. A decent HDMI monitor. At smallish size points, is there a visual reason to prefer a TV screen over a monitor at medium distances? And maybe I need something with CEC so turning on the monitor would also activate the receiver but I don't know and HDMI is confusing AF.
  2. Something with the form factor of a remote control, but not necessarily IR, that I can wire into @homeassistant and/or maybe dbus on the media PC so a button might switch sources, tweak GNOME desktop audio settings, etc.

Any thoughts?

in reply to Nolan Darilek

I wonder if you could handle TV control through HDMI-CEC? I'm not sure if a monitor will do that. It'll give you much lower latency than a TV, but it offers few other advantages especially if your priorities are size and remote control
in reply to Pepper The Vixen🏳️‍⚧️🦯

Ah, so latency is a factor too. I have something like a 32-inch TV now because I just don't need bigger, and I'm guessing that's where most monitors top out size-wise?

I'll probably end up going this route anyway and cobbling something together, just trying to figure out all the issues I'll hit on the way.

Yeah, like, bluesky peoples, having to pay for all the features masto has for example. That's what I meant.


I am seriously wondering what to play, or not play, in terms of games. I currently have absolutely nothing on my list. I guess it's time to try and fix Stardew, or be lazy and just browse masto. LOL


I love how internationally diverse my followers are. I just had someone follow me from Edmonton, which is next on my list of provinces to visit. AND someone from Ireland, which is also on my to-go list if I can swing it. Then there's Amanda over in Australia. I'm meeting all these cool new people on Masto. Like, it's not just people following me from other platforms. I am so here for it.
in reply to Rosalin Kellyanna

This is awesome! Also, I guess I can't appreciate well how many international followers I have, because everyone is not from over here, so it's a normality for me, but it's good to see someone else's viewpoint.

🔗 Seems like people are moving around between social media apps so new profile link options now available on your account settings page: You can set Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads accounts by revealing the "More Links" section. All of these links will appear on your profile page.

Links added will have "rel=me" inserted on your profile so you can get a green check mark on your mastodon profile!

in reply to itchio

One more update: The `fediverse:creator` metatag is now inserted into game and blog post pages that you have authored when you assign a Mastodon username to your account.

This will enable itch.io link embeds on Mastodon to show author attribution of your fediverse account. Learn more here: blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/07/…

You must opt-in to the domains that are eligible for attribution from Edit Profile > Public Profile > Verification (and scroll to the bottom, add itch.io and your own subdomain)

As far as I can tell this was meant entirely seriously. I guess 0ver.org is gaining traction.

This is part of R&D for Liblast and Liblast Framework.
Based on CGI data from #NASA, that was interpreted frivolously to an 8x8 km area and then sclupted over to add detail that was missing from the original textures.
