Good idea or bad: a small cheap device, for reclaiming spaces from invasive #surveillance tech such as #Meta's pervert glasses.
When brought close enough to said device, selected tech gets blocked or bricked making the space free once again.
I am so tired of journalists' digital Puritanism.
I know more than one smart man who lives without a newspaper.

@BjornW "a bit less user-friendly", why??
@gutenberg_org mostly due to the design. Tried it with relatives (not so digital savvy). They found Project Gutenberg's website overwhelming compared to Standard Ebooks' website.
Nonetheless the contents are awesome & you've been doing an amazing job for so many years! So please consider my remark as constructive feedback.

Apparemment, pour les mascus fachos, donner un orgasme aux femmes c'est "gay". 🤷♂️
Are the straights ok ?

Do you think the appreciation of, and fascination with, ghost signs is a form of 'nagori' as explained here?
Reminds me of the artist, whose name I can't remember, who installed a frame filled with freshly cut roses — the beauty was to be found in the decay/transition, much like the turning of the leaves in autumn.
That's an interesting thought. It could be.
The examples I read were about events, passages in life, and not specific items altered through time and entropy. But if that entropy marks a feeling or a sensation for a person, then the savoring of it would be Nagori.
Again, I'm not a linguist or an authority on Japanese language. I just find it cool that a sensation many of us have experienced has been identified and named in a culture.
I forgot what I set my name to on my smartwatch until today. 🥲
@PixelProphecy Happy bday!

> My take on generative AI has pretty rapidly gone from a tentative, “it sucks and I hate it, but after the bubble pops, there might be a few very specific use cases for it, like with programming,” to a vehemently zero-tolerance stance. It’s all garbage, burn it down.
So... the major thing missing from my milter (ryoms) is bayesian filtering. I originally planned to use linfa, because it has not only a bayes model, but a vectorizer too, and I thought that'd be a great help.
Unfortunately, while I can update the training of the model, I can't update the vectorizer, not without great trouble. Great trouble that pretty much amounts to writing my own vectorizer to begin with.
And in that case, I might aswell use smartcore, because it has a more convenient API.
Al final saqué un rato y volví a reconstruir (más o menos) la historia que quería contar en el blog: El cerebro, un narrador muy hábil

#DoeiDag tip: ik hou van lezen & download regelmatig Engelstalige #PublicDomain boeken voor op mn PocketBook #ereader.
Zonder Kobo of Amazon kun je dan toch heel makkelijk gratis legaal boeken lezen.
De prettigste website voor Engelstalige boeken is @standardebooks Standard Ebooks:
Een andere die wat minder prettig werkt, maar ook Nederlandstalige #PubliekDomein
#boeken heeft is @gutenberg_org Project Gutenberg:

Jouw tips?

@Tutanota I don't want any human or automated computing system to be able to scan my emails. They are private! They are mine!
