My dream would be to assemble a small group of tech advisors who want to see this work happen to chat with, even just 1 call & follow-up emails. I am really really willing to roll up my sleeve and learn lots but I want to be self-aware about the unknown unknowns. I might just be overthinking risks, but creating a form of infrastructure for SAFE and TRUSTABLE open source studies even just surveys would be my dream. And I've seen first-hand how dev data is vultured over so ownership matters to me

@BenCotterill @a @astronomerritt I think it was him I saw at TEDx Derby a few years ago giving a talk about it. That's great news that the project is successful - they look great!

@MelkyWay I do feed my goats grain while I'm milking them. But only the milking and pregnant goats get it, and then they immediately get access to grass and hay afterwards. Haven't had a problem with that, so far. Some grain is ok!
I did lose a buck a couple years ago when he busted in to the chicken coop and ate way more chicken food than I realized. I've also force-fed goats baking soda and saved them after doing that. And now I have better fences!
Similar to colic in horses, I guess? I hadn't heard of baking soda treatment, but it suggests something about a mechanism of the malady. Thanks for sharing!
To learn more, I searched for 'colic in goats' and found a wonderful online veterinary resource, which might be of interest to others who don't have firsthand knowledge of goat diseases. The link below is a specific page on goat colic, but from there one can access many more topics:

I talk about the #Fediverse whenever I get a chance. The trick is being receptive, not pushy. Let them try it in their own time.
Only saying this because I now have two long time friends actively participating in the Fediverse where 6 months ago they had no interest.
One was even using an app with AP integration and didn't even know it.
Anecdotal? Absolutely! But our reality is built on our perceptions.
Very excited by this! 😄
Why Have Immigration Agents Detained This American Citizen Three Times?
---
Leonardo Garcia Venegas, a U.S. citizen whose prior detentions went viral and were detailed by ProPublica, was recently detained for a third time — and shackled. “I just want to live in peace,” he says.

Following the Australian precedence, Brazil, Greece, and Turkey have now passed laws requiring age checks for social media.
😡But age verification and ID checks destroy everyone's #privacy. 😡

@TheBreadmonkey I wish I could take the credit. It's from Futurama.
ISP technician this morning telling me about how humans have invented a new god with AI. That we as people have exceeded our programming.
You know, while he was recapping coax cables.
@rmondello
Humans will make a god out of darn well anything. That part seems one of the last remarkable things about AI.
Did you noticed the new Reapply inbox rules button? 🤭🥳
Now you can simply click this to reapply any inbox rules you've set up in your encrypted mailbox!
✅ This is especially useful when you import emails and would like to sort them according to your rules.
Enjoy ❤️
@Tutanota Just a few weeks ago I thought that would be a very useful function. I had no idea you currently worked on that.
Good timing to ask: Do you have a preferred way to get feedback/function wishes? While using Tuta I often think "that would be a nice feature"

@mastodonmigration @hollywoodreporter “Sucks" is not detail.
I am really curious about your objections, because I MAY end up writing about this video in my column. Not sealioning, actual research! (I also respect the work you do here, which is why I followed up.)
If your reaction is purely visceral, which I'd say falls into the “knee-jerk" category, that's fine. Say that.
@dsilverman @hollywoodreporter
OK, because slop is slop. It is visually incongruous in a very disturbing manner, not to mention it probably drained a lake to produce this twisted mess. Consuming such crap changes your brain in ways that are kind of like a sugar high, but just lead to making you more stupid and less able to perceive and appreciate real beauty and artistry.
Just because someone you admire falls victim to such a perversion does not mean you should endorse it.

Currently it's about 2.5% of the global electricity production. With the projected growth, by 2030 it would be about to 7%, if they are all grid-powered. But increasingly new developments consider being directly gas powered. So in terms of electricity use it could be less but emissions could go up disproportionately as a result.
I also split the crotch in my trousers.
Badly.
Irrecoverably, I reckon.
So much for buying cheap trousers, I guess!
