Today is Bandcamp Friday, where Bandcamp doesn't take a cut of sales.
If you want Bandcamp shopping recommendations, I'll mention my list of Philly music, although it could use expanding and updating: buymusic.club/list/skyfaller-p…
On the one hand, Bandcamp is one of the best ways to pay artists and preserve music through downloads and physical media. Streaming services like Spotify are a bad deal for musicians, and songs can disappear at any time.
On the other hand, Bandcamp laid off their union's entire bargaining unit in the middle of contract negotiations, and never experienced consequences.

Huh! I've never received one of these before... does that make it "super serious", or just new tech / government capabilities? It was noisy and made me jump!

While Reddit mods and admin try to keep up with the site's "no violence" terms of use, Facebook and LinkedIn is reacting with tens of thousands of laughing emojis.

Teda mrzi me ten hejt na Obsidian. Ale neco na tom bude, uz jsi druhy clovek za dva tydny, co nasel nejaky deal-breaker.
Ja jsem switchnul na Obsidian a vytesnil ze zivota vsechny ostatni productivity nastroje (Linear, Notion...). A vsecko delam v Obsidianu v closed modu (bez community pluginu) a vubec nic mi nechybi. Mimo toho mam jenom Paper na iPadu na kresleni poznamek.
Organizuju tak vse od prace, dobrovolniceni na Kalkulacce a jinde i osobni veci.
Nemám čas si s tím hrát a ani zjistit, čím to je. Zároveň v tom mám poznámky, které potřebuju používat.
Možná za to může ten Kanban. Ale ani jsem ho nezkoušel vypnout, protože právě v něm mám ty nejdůležitější věci.
Jestli ale může i za to, že aplikace na čtení a psaní textových souborů mi vyžere třetinu RAMky, to nevím. Už jednu takovou mám, jmenuje se VS Code, nemůžu jet zároveň dvě 😀
Přesvědčená, že ctižádostivost vede do záhuby, čím dál víc směřovala v životě i tvorbě k věcem, jež člověka přesahují. V sobotu uplyne 20 let od smrti ohromně talentované zpěvačky a autorky Zuzany Navarové. Svou nemoc roky tajila.

Pěkné vzpomínky, desky Nerezu z Pantonu mám pořád doma, Zuzanu Navarovou jsem slyšel hrát s Koa v Náměšti nad Oslavou na zámku možná v roce 2003, netušil jsem, že naposled. Chybí.

I just finished uploading all the sketchnotes from Do iOS and Pragma Conference this year. Every sketch has a detailed image description to make it a bit more accessible. Uploading them always takes more effort than I'd think but I'm very happy that it's done now 😅 fbernutz.github.io/sketchnotes…
Mám takový zvyk. U postele mám starou pokladničku a pokaždé když máme s manželkou sex, dám do ní libru. Na konci roku to pak vezmu a koupím ženě něco k Vánocům ❤️ Letos budu grand, přidám třicet pencí a dostane double cheeseburger 😊
Lol, tak to je dobrej PR fail. Místo toho, aby pořádně plnili svoji funkci veřejnoprávního média a sami si tu vytvořili profil (jako třeba @irozhlas - moc díky za to!), akorát zadupou dobrovolnickej mirror, u kterýho si snad nikdo proboha nemohl myslet, že je to oficiální profil ČT. Ta jejich argumentace je fakt na palici. :" title=":"/>
I think I missed the chapter of infantry warfighting doctrine where they bring up the tactical use of cats? Does the handle let you throw it into enemy trenches??
I believe there's been a misunderstanding and you're assuming this is a tactical harness for a cat. But what if it is actually just a harness intended for tactical cats? A normal civilian cat wouldn't be interested. The handle is for holding your tactical cat back until you're ready to deploy it.

The UHC CEO thing has brought up a ton of stuff for me, both as a professional and a person living with 2 "pre-existing conditions", 1 of these since before the ACA. I read an article yesterday that attributed the mass "gee, that's terrible" reaction of Americans to this event being due to an increasing trend of nihilism. While there may be some nihilists out there, I disagree wholeheartedly. Below is why, if you decide to read my long winded reasoning.
Before being involved in a lawsuit against UHC, I knew the healthcare landscape was bad. But it's way worse than you can probably imagine. MAGA types have to work, and I could see them being drawn to jobs with health insurance companies because of the fundamental lack of empathy necessary to do what they do. Good people leave because they can't take it, and you have this toxic cesspool that I suspect exists now in a lot of these companies.
We focus our attention on the insurance companies, but it's not just them. It's the consolidation of hospitals under private equity. I worked for an academic medical center from 2005-2023 and watched the enshittification. The "suits" reproduced like a gremlin thrown in a swimming pool. They shifted to an RVU system, which basically turned medicine into a factory with MDs being paid based on productivity metrics. In direct correlation was the increasing burnout and cynicism amongst the physicians, nurses, and staff. Then COVID hit, and any cracks were just blown wide open and we are where we are today.
Seeking healthcare if you have anything remotely complex going on has never been easy, and I recognize this isn't unique to the U.S., but I'd estimate at least half of the mental health work I do is trying to help people manage the anxiety related to engaging with the system and then dealing with insurance hassles. I try not to add to the gaslighting they've likely experienced already by trying to "reframe their thinking" (a common psychological tool) because their perceptions are 100% accurate. So it's a lot of "yeah...I know. It's terrible." while trying to instill some sense of meaning and hope in other areas of their life.
I also accept about 7 major insurance plans in my mental health practice, which I've run since 2012. The bullshit insurance pulls regarding reimbursement has gotten exponentially worse. They all mess with you, delaying payment by making arbitrary changes to coding what seems to happen every 6 months now. But UHC is definitely a major offender. Today, I have about $10,000 in outstanding claims with UHC plans across 15 patients. For a small operation like mine, that's a lot of coin. And now going into 2025, we face a repeal of the ACA.
Personally, I've lived with Crohn's disease since 2002 and I picked up another awesome diagnosis, Eosinophilic Esophagitis, in 2016. Both require really expensive medications (at least in the US) that eventually stop working for around half of people who take them. So then you have to switch, which puts you into prior authorization hell. Or you have to do some combination of expensive treatments and insurance is like absolutely not. At present, I'm waiting on prior authorization for an iron infusion, which is ridiculously expensive. This is something I've had about 3 times now and was always quickly approved, but I've never gotten one under my current insurance plan. My guess is they're taking their time so I'll have to get it in January when my deductible resets and it'll be on my tab. But I kind of understand why insurance is balking at these treatments, which have been driven up by hospital consolidation and private equity nonsense. With the return of the Orange Shitler administration, I expect my medications to eventually be denied even though they've been covered thus far.
So my indifference to the UHC CEO being murdered has nothing to do with nihilism. I desperately want it to be different. Abject cynicism based on a decade of these experiences? Absolutely.
Some receipts, because academic me just won't die 😂 :

‼️ So, you might be thinking....What are going to be the highlits taht you will find in Tusky 27 🤔 🤔🤔? Here you are:
- Material 3 redesign - Support for notificacion policies (a Mastodon 4.3 version feature) - sooooooo many bugfixes that we don't have enough space to list them here
Hope you will like Tusky 27 as much as we have loved developing it!!
@dboehmer yes, but the beta version will ne on F-droid several days after Google Play. It is always this way, every single update appears in Google Play than in F-Droid
I figured might as well do it, especially the data import/export so people can migrate.
FeatherWiki is honestly a dream come true, especially after seeing how inaccessible and convoluted TiddlyWiki is, I keep finding more people I can recommend it to and they love it too.
After the next #Conversations_im update have a look at our new Chat Bubble Settings. We are now providing a few customization options that, among other things, allow you to render all message bubbles left aligned.
In combination with the setting that turns off the background color, this is relatively close to what Dino or other team messengers look like.

Il y a 35 ans avait lieu le premier attentat masculiniste. C'était à l'Ecole Polytechnique de Monréal et les victimes ont été ciblé parce que c'était des femmes qui se formaient aux sciences et donc sortait des normes de genre pour le tueur. Ne les oublions pas. #FemmesEnScience #feminisme
