@wmd@chaos.social In the past I've put a wraparound band *over* my ear instead of slightly above it, and this alleviated the problem in my case, though I imagine it depends on the type of ear damage.

This is the most nail on the head version of this meme I've seen.

Bird photography is relatively gear-intensive because birds are small and usually prefer staying away from humans. But after doing this for awhile, I know of no piece of gear that makes more of a difference than consistently being on the beach when the sun comes up. The light and the water and the sand know how to show off, and you just need to be there to click the button.
@serapath @bananas That particular definition doesn't seem very workable to me, because then you end up in endless debate about whether something "has a business model" or not, and the distinction as defined there only really matters to VCs anyway.
Because a startup finding a business model doesn't actually make it any less toxic or unsustainable, it's always trying to achieve impossible ROIs either way.

People who were at #38c3: Please check yourself for flu, especially if you’re feeling shit. Anti-pyretics (Ibuprofen, Aspirin) are first line treatment. Antihistamines can help with any inflamation. Vitamin D and C are always good things to take to aid your immune system.
Drink lots of electrolytes if possible, water if not. Watch your body temperature - your instincts will be to wrap up tight because you feel cold and that is not a good idea if your body temperature is already elevated.
If you’re already on anti-retrovirals (e.g. PrEP) remember to take them, they can help with some viral infections.

"What kind of normal person would make these kinds of errors?" is a useful question but also a dangerous question.
Especially if you value the very kind of abnormal people who might not make normal errors.

It warms my soul that there are people who *care* about obscure things. People who know every kind of lego brick, people who have studied the gaps between train arrival times. It's not *just* their expertise that I value it's THEM, the person! I love them.
But, wasting that love on a decoy made to attract me for the purposes of marketing and SEO is an indignity I don't want to risk. So, I've become judgemental and cautious in exactly the way that might harm the very people I love.

The reason I love the internet has always been the ability to connect with other people through our shared enthusiasm for learning, especially about obscure topics.

In addition to polluting search results with garbage. Polluting AI answer services with twice-regurgitated AI garbage one of the worst things about the proliferation of AI text and images is how is has made me skeptical of the work of amateurs.
Is their voice "stilted"?
Is the writing repetitive?
Are there little factual errors?
Do they struggle to "get to the point?"
Accusing a real person of being AI is so hurtful and rude, but also inevitable.

Our Pride flag was torn off the house and trashed while we were away. Again.
So, a new one has been ordered. PLUS some flashy, extremely gay coloured floodlights to shine brightly on said new flag.
Tear it down, it comes back three times more queer.
YOU SURE YOU WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME WITH ME, MOTHERFUCKERS?! 😂

Het is zo raar, ík slaap een keer slecht en de hele wereld wordt dom, irritant en zeikerig. Wat een verantwoordelijkheid eigenlijk.
(Also that's like 70% of the database schema I needed for this particular project!)
It's a good day when I can hammer out 200 lines of database migrations before my EDM mix ends

ISBN 0070342490 is for the book "ISDN: Concepts, Facilities, and Services"
So it's the ISDN ISBN.
