Someone just jelly of my amazing taste in nearly-20-year-old music, probably 😊

Pretty sure that line is a reference to this. One of my fave songs :)

Owl City - Fireflies

This is really cool news!

I really hope they someday also figure out ways to gene therapy tinnitus away. Lizard genes for my sound hairs to make them regrow would be sweet.

Unlike in real life, this bee is going home to accolades.

Welp.

I watched several videos in addition to those and feel both better and not, I do understand the simplified analogies in the linked stuff, and they are helpful, as were some of the related content.

I kinda sorta understand the technical stuff, sort of. I’m not in a tech field or anything…

I’m going to keep it there regardless of the negative hype because you never know when I’ll need others to do the same. Im not doing anything wrong so it’s whatever.

I’m up to 10 :)

Depends how you make it. I use medium for my French press.

This came up as a plot point in some other animated show, and for the life of me I can’t figure out what it was…

Like the realization that they were hurting so many people so they could survive and save the world or whatever it was… and it just killed them inside…

(And I’m fairly certain I’m not thinking of Rick and Morty, although that does sort of happen as well… and I don’t think it was bojack horseman either…)

Thanks for this!

Well I spent the time between when I posted and when you replied looking into various things related to tor, legality, and snowflake more specifically, as well as a bit after your reply since you gave me a couple extra things to look into… (like if there’s a risk of running alongside self-host software like Plex and jellyfin, I didn’t find anything about it so I sort of assume it’s fine…?)…

I didn’t see anything overly bad other than if you yourself use tor, maybe, so took the plunge and… have had a whole two connections already, so yay, I’m a snowflake!

I feel slightly better about myself, like when I started using BOINC crowdsource computing for research in the early noughties. :)

I’m willing to do this but frankly tor intimidates me big time. I don’t know anything about it other than……. Yep that’s it.

I read through the mastodon post, and the project page, and cumulatively I didn’t get any answers that, like, make me feel better.

I assume this is a dark web node sort of thing? Is it safe for me to run the browser extension (idk shit about docker and don’t really want to learn rn), like I’m not putting a target on myself or anything? If yes to question 1, but no to question 2, what does put a target?

When I do that pose it makes me fart. Maybe they are also gassy friends and we have their reasoning all wrong!

They got pissed that you weren’t as desperate as they thought you were when they rejected everyone else in favor of you, and wanted more info to weed people like you out earlier in the future. Or to pressure you into changing your mind; that would suit their desires equally well, being pressure-able or desperate are basically the same for employers.

At least that’s my assumption. I’ve had similar experiences turning jobs down that I just didn’t want after talking to several people, or hearing more about the job, and they all get upset about it. But they certainly won’t be changing anything, so it’s not like there’s a valid reason to demand an explanation.

Whenever that happens, I just tell them “I’ve explained myself sufficiently, and I don’t work for nor do business with your company. I thus have no compelling reason to continue interacting with you, particularly for something you want me to give you that comes at a time and effort cost to me.” I bid them farewell, and am prepared to block/ignore them if they send me anything else. I chose the phrasing to be direct, and let them know it was a wildly inappropriate ask, while still being reasonably professional. I have never gotten a follow-up after that.

I watched an interesting video the other day that purports to answer that question.

The way this dude describes his medical issues… could have been me, tho mine are slightly different.

(Tl;dw - it’s stress and anxiety from always being on, masking, and failing to fit properly)

Cheese and beer. No contest. Everyone would.

Hey thanks, I didn’t realize! Two years is a long time on such a new platform and I’m super here for it!

I love literally everything about this announcement.

I want to try other fedi platforms but have MAJOR inertia thanks to apps.

So I’m fucking thrilled the one I prefer also wants to prefer all the things

Brb ima spin up an account. I fucking love you voyager, and everything your team does (I assume it’s a team? If not I love you very specifically. Yes you. I love you.)

This reminds me of a minor plot point from “if I pay thee not in gold”, a book I read many many years ago that helped form some of my moral framework. Imho, go read it, it isn’t -that good- as it’s rather superficial and they could have done a fuckton of more interesting shit with the way that universe works, but it also isn’t that long; couple hundred pages in big font like my copy, and it’s about women with magic! But only conjuration magic. And only women, for very specific, logical, and understandable plot reasons that don’t make a person want to hurl! And it’s largely about personal growth due to sex with demons!

Anyway, because they can conjure things and then dismiss them at will, the poor quarters bars are all conjured alcohol, so if any problems arise they can instantly sober up their patrons.

In hell you use a tv remote with a gyro pointer and on-screen keyboard. And it has a slight, but random, delay.

How do I know this is torture? My partner has one and because it feeds through multiple devices, it has a slight but random delay. And it’s the most frustrating experience of all time. Souls-like games on nightmare are likely less frustrating (and this comes from someone who can’t finish any of them on the lowest difficulty).

Buy some decent, quiet, pc fans and sew a wrap-around sheet, with holes at the foot end just for the small fans to nestle into. The idea is you lay on the bottom part, the top part is over you with whatever other light blankets, and the fans are by your feet, ideally one for each side with an on/off switch. They blow cool air into the sheets and help evaporate moisture. It’s the same idea as a lot of very expensive machines.

Build a small frame to securely hold the fans, ensure no obstructions, and hold the end of the airflow sheet, put the power supply somewhere far away, and you’ve basically built a $400+ cooling bed.

What pieces do I need to build this?

Color doesn’t matter just tell me the bits plz.
