@dawngreeter @dalias @futurebird after seeing a drop in stock price of an insurance company that promptly paid out insurance after a natural disaster, and jump in stock prices of software or service companies after mass layoffs, it would take a lot to convince me that stock market has any relation to reality and how good are the companies at what they do.
(Unless the only thing that you acknowledge that "they do" is "fudge numbers around so that today a number is higher than yesterday")

@raganwald @david_colquhoun @deshipu apparently now in UK to view footage of police arresting people during protests you need to provide your government ID.

@fracofavor @cwebber my recent "hey, does this exist?" may be relevant here. There exist cooling vests. Some have storage for or built in ice packs, some are evaporative - you get their outside wet, and (relative humidity of surroundings allowing) the water evaporates over time cooling you down.

Also, in case a reminder of this is useful to someone, wiping yourself with a towel dampened with cold water does wonders.

@mcc @Infoseepage https://cangardcare.com/product-category/respiratory-protection/n95-respirator/ as an example has a bunch of types of masks.
Look for any store selling industrial Personal Protective Equipment, respiratory section. Disposable ones, ideally certified N99 or N100/P100. See what they have. That certification level has a good chance of including a seal to reduce leakage around the edges.

@feld @pertho isolation between programs, e.g. making it so that not all the programs all the time are able to know all the keys you're pressing?

@evan dang, I'm trying to come up with a fitting word that would start with M 😂

@ryanc https://frame.work are interesting though pricy

@cwebber
Now you need to take over Queens and Queensland and make one the capital of other, and you'll be Queens of Queens, in the Queens' land of Queensland.
@vv

Since I'm currently reading #RunYourOwnMailServer #RYOMS, the part about #DKIM reminded me about something I heard some time ago, and I managed to find it again. Concept somewhat similar to what #OTR does.

With greetings and thanks to @mwl and @ryanc 😅

@grs @hacks4pancakes from what I know about what luddites stood for, those people are the opposite of them.

@Fluse @dalias I don't think #Kindle works without an account. You'd have to manually download software updates and apply them yourself.
That's one of reasons why I chose #PocketBook
Since you already paid for those books, there's little reason to not look for them on https://annas-archive.org/ and save yourself the hassle of fighting with DRM

@dalias @mawhrin @neil extradition laws exist, and issuing fines over borders is also possible.

@famousringo @JessTheUnstill @SwiftOnSecurity it sounds like "Gauss cannon" does what you say, but I'm not convinced this solves the issue 🤔

@dysfun @dalias "mandatory" without consequences is only a suggestion

@dalias @dysfun doesn't that put the burden on you (and your $$$ lawyer) to prove it?
Also, incubation times make contact tracing a non obvious matter...

@feld @drwho oh? Why does it suck? I haven't looked closely myself, but from hearing about them it seemed to be the one to be on, that's why I'm curious.

@cwebber Second Secret Goblin doesn't judge, only nudges you to share hummus

@cwebber hey, First Secret Goblin popped up! Does it want to be petted, or does it want to bite me in the shin and steal my lunch?

@hakan_geijer I assume the source is LaTeX? From a quick search I didn't find a good way to make that into epub, though there are some mentions of using pandoc to convert, and there's https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/41402
I assume you're not particularly interested in changing what you write it in 😅
Yeah, epub is "just" zipped html, so the jump there would be small, and html would make it easier to read on whatever shape screen people happen to have
