@pluralistic in your latest podcast episode you said you'd be on TechTV on the 14th so I fully expect that whatever TV channel you're actually going to be on, you will be wearing this outfit again :p
@Federation_Bot
@whitequark what would be the way to "make sure they're unemployable"?
@woozle It probably depends on how dominant a form of visual stimulus is in somebody's life, for the most part. But it's well established that many people used to describe black-and-white dreams, but the trend turned strongly down soon after colour TV sets became ubiquitous. Unfortunately, people didn't usually make a note of their dreams' colouredness before the invention of black-and-white cinema, so we don't have strong historic data to study.
@woozle FWIW, in my dreams, colour is usually sort-of-present, but for the most part, most of the time, not particularly salient. I suspect what happens is, the dreams develop downstream of the primary visual cortex, in brain pathways that usually deal with visual input that has already been processed and somewhat interpreted, and colour data is ordinarily only preserved to this stage if it's unusual or particularly interesting in some sense. But I'm pretty sure people have dreams in very different ways, and not all of them are even visual.
In every dystopian novel: the government bans books.
In reality: we gave up reading voluntarily.
Poor kids had nothing but copycat garbage of endlessly grim teenager-saves-everything-without-help-from-adults dystopian series after Harry Potter set the template.
Every new story HAS to become a universe now, and must be movie-ready.
i think what i really needed the day of this interview was another goddamn motherfucking fire alarm

Vy The legacy of DOGE is not that it failed. It's that it
"destroyed:
1. faith in real cost conscious governance
2. the careers of committed govt employees
3. scientific research and the biomedical
breakthroughs that come with it
4. countless lives of the world's poorest

Vy But Elon Musk got a trillion dollar pay package
from Tesla and was dining with Trump and MBS
the other day. so, i guess, it was a success on
that front.

“There is a reason the Bible talks about the devil as ‘the antichrist.’ Evil likes to pose as salvation, and to harness the power of faith for its falsified gospel.”

I've taken a tip from @civodul and put tor onion services on my machines pointing at ssh. (public key access only of course, ssh + password is a disaster these days).
This means even if I'm traveling, I can access my other machines at home on the go over tor, which is pretty sick
@cwebber @civodul in the beginning you could use udp over tor with onioncat, and then put your own vpn https://git.manalejandro.com/ale/wireknock
@technomancy this question is clarifying. on reflection i think i'm concerned less about weight (past some reasonable "this is routinely going in a bike bag / daypack" level) and more just missing the kind of thing where a netbook could be balanced on a knee on the bus or jammed in a big cargo pocket.

@sillygwailo I see. Yeah, that sucks. It's like, oh I can fix things on the web layer, but that doesn't fix the way my phone operating system interacts with the browser's notification API and so clicking on a Mastodon notification only works 50% of the time and I don't know how to fix it, etc etc etc. We live in hell
Pour clarifier, mes inquiétudes sont :
- va-t-on me couper mes indemnités journalières ?
- va-t-on me réclamer de rembourser les IJ déjà perçues ?
- vais-je être en PLS de devoir me justifier au téléphone que vraiment je suis malade ? C'est une vraie crainte, j'ai peur d'être activée de ouf pendant l'appel et qu'on ne me croie pas. J'aimerais savoir quelle posture adopter pour me protéger au mieux de ça, quitte à jouer l'ignorante.
Je n'aurais probablement pas l'énergie de répondre. Je vous remercie toustes d'avance pour vos messages 💜
Aussi, je veux dire que je sais que je suis dans mon droit d'être en arrêt, que ma médecin est avec moi et très soutenante. Là, mon problème, c'est la violence de l'administration.
Evolution doesn’t look how it’s depicted in pop culture. We often picture the famous “March of Progress” illustration where a series of apes stand in line leading to a modern human.
But evolution is not linear. It branches and branches. Divides in some places and recombines in others. #science

@Sheril they have the entire “family tree” with all divergent branches up at the National Museum of Scotland. It’s fascinating. There are some tiny primates (tarsiers, lemurs, marmosets, lorises) that I didn’t know much about. https://www.nms.ac.uk/exhibitions/monkeys-our-primate-family
Software and the web have become a lot harder to use in the last 10 years or so, so gradually that I didn’t notice it.
