I cannot emphasize this enough: if you are having a panic attack about the general state of your life - academics, your job, your relationship with anyone - and it's 9 pm or later, GO TO BED. Don't @ me with your special case objection that willfully misses the point, go the fuck to bed and consider what if anything needs to be done when well-rested and well-fed

I have had more personal crises than is advisable to admit to and so have many of my friends, I guarantee this is coming from extensive experience

@ephemeral

@ephemeral Both times were at night. No glorious setup, just my mobile, but it did capture the moment and a few very cool cracks of lightning across the entire sky.

@hipsterelectron @ephemeral In Hong Kong we can have some pretty fierce weather, but in over a decade, this kind of persistent light show going for 1–2 hours is something I've experienced only twice. I filmed both, it was quite something.

Coming from Sherlock's 90-min "episodes", if you can even call them that, more like TV movies, Murderbot's 23-min episodes surprise me every time they end.

Which API are web applications using when Chromium-based mobile browsers are showing the intended image and Firefox-based browsers are showing a repeating pattern of vertical lines?

It's been like this for years, barring Firefox use for QR codes to immigration, restaurants, etc.

@mansr Now I went looking for the kind of wire cheese slicer grandma had before the Norwegian cheese plane, and I found so many kinds of slicer I've never seen before.

@mansr Yes, I explained that to him and it blew his mind.

@petersuber Note: Paywall is not total. I got the full article.

Me: You know how easy it is to make pancakes, right? Just some flour, butter, eggs, milk, boom, pancakes.
Kid: Yeah?
Me: You can buy pre-made pancakes!
Kid: I expected that.
Me: And there's canned spaghetti!
Kid: Yeah? Maybe you want the meat sauce to be just right?
Me: It's literally just tomato sauce and spaghetti! In a can! Warming it up takes about as long as just boiling normal dry spaghetti.
Kid: Whatever! That's still not as weird and lazy as PRE-SLICED CHEESE!

@veer66 IKEA bistro switched last week from everything is pistachio flavored to everything is durian flavored. 😊

@rysiek @cwtch I think the thought of identifying and stopping users we don't like is a slippery slope. The same thing could be used by governments to stop dissidents. So I think as a technology unable to distinguish and stop users of any political belief or philosophy is important for privacy of people who need it the most. It'd be a shame if we have to give on such a great technology because of the politics of its founder. I think a fork or adopting the protocol in other products is better.

@praveen nobody said anything about identifying them. Stopping them – that depends on the specifics of what's going on.

If a tool is algorithmically promoting content, for example, and happens to reliably promote Nazi content, that's a problem that needs to be solved – or a tool that needs to be ditched.

All technology is political. One might think they're building a "truly neutral" tool, but no such tool exists. Choices made by it will define how it fits into the broader struggle.

🇸🇪 Glad nationaldag! 🇸🇪

Happy Swedish National Day!

On this date 502 years ago (Julian calendar), Gustav Vasa, or Gustav I of Sweden, was elected King of the current Swedish Kingdom, marking the end of the Kalmar Union with Denmark and Norway, and marking the beginning of centuries of reform and modernization that would lead to today's democratic and constitutional Kingdom.

Today's attempt is that I bought a speaker loud enough that I should be able to run it at around 50% volume most of the time.

This weekend the ATM has the 1k bills again.

Hmm, next time I'll try connecting the headphones to the tablet instead, maybe that works better.

My phone is terrible at handling Bluetooth and WiFi sharing at the same time. If I want to listen to Laika Party in Sky in headphones while playing Pokemon Go on the tablet, both will have frequent disconnections.
