positive, mental health, etc.
@vantablack I've had a very similar experience lately.... ADHD meds + a weighted blanket have been truly life-changing for me - I now actually wake up with a sense of "hmm what project could I spend time today on" instead of "oh no what chores do I have today"!
There's still mood swings here and there, but they're much more manageable now that I 'viscerally' know that there is in fact light at the end of the tunnel, and even on the bad days I'm still reasonably 'productive' (able to do chores etc.)
@schratze Sitting on the tiles in my back yard, but I've reproduced this many times over the years with various thermometers in various locations
@schratze Related: how is the measured temperature in my house always a few degrees above the outdoors temperature, but it always *feels* a few degrees colder, despite open windows

Old 32 colors pixelart picture,
320x180 px - Amiga palette, done in rush, so not perfect
I was trying to create impression of colorful composition within limitations of the computer:
- 32 colors from 4096 pool
- to compare: normal 8bit pixelart usually use up to 256 colors from 16,777,216 colors palette

why does almost every Linux/programming youtuber smells of far-right from 100 miles? They all act and look like they place to be is 4chan
@f0x Parametric moduuuuuules (are great)
@schratze (Of course this approach would only work on streets, which is good actually, because *that is the only place where you should be removing leaves*)
@schratze To my genuine surprise, there are actually *some* operators that use leafblowers sensibly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90jiTpAul-o
@schratze Two-stroke engines should just be outright banned, tbh.
@schratze The worst of all are the chainsaws and hedge trimmers that run on dead dino juice. Not just wrecking nature, but guzzling fossil fuels, emitting clouds of toxic crap, and making a hell of a lot of noise in the process.
@f0x I think you associated my reply with the wrong toot :p Which in a sense kinda proves the point!
@f0x Famous last words

Tech: Important privacy/security question about mobile apps
I want to advise a specific mobile app to #leftist #activists and corresponding activist media.
I'm looking for a reliable and free (preferable open source) app that can automatically (or user-friendly manually) remove all details of persons (especially protesters, but if automatically other people are good too) in *video's*.
The use case is that someone films on a demo and something bad happens with the police or Nazi's, but they still want to share it on the internet, without revealing identities of the protesters. Not especially for the police, cause they film everyone anyway, but for Nazi's and other dangerous folks. To avoid doxxing.
I know about ObscuraCam from the Guardian Project, but that one only works unreliable with faces in pictures and video's can only be pixelated and/or colorized completely, so that's useless.
Thinking about it during writing this post I think there are no open-source apps offering this probably, only proprietary. So if that's the case, so be it. Please advise!
@s0 Yep, I do actually use Fastmail for my freelance e-mail already, and it works very well. The main problem I have with them for personal e-mail, though, is that they are in Australia... not exactly the safest country from a privacy perspective.
@jcgruenhage@chaos.social Thanks! This is looking quite good, actually.
@ckie I'm specifically looking for a hosted Just Works service with good deliverability right now - I already have too many things to be concerned about, and e-mail is pretty critical to me :)
@elilla I'd argue that things haven't changed much since the time of the Luddites, really; it always ends up being about who the tech is designed/implemented to benefit, not about the tech itself.
