When I transitioned in 2011/2012 I had a lot of respect, gratitude and admiration for those that came before me, especially in the 70s, 80s and 90s. They did the same thing I was doing, which felt hard enough, but in a much more hostile world. They paved the way. And now, with the tides having turned, that’s us too. We will survive and we will thrive and the generations after us will stand on our shoulders. Knowing that gives me hope and strength, maybe it does you too.

@schratze Stress has physical markers in our bodies, chemicals and processes that can hang around for hours or days.
When Gary's cognitive decline was first getting bad we consulted some brilliant dog behaviorists about it, and they told us to think of stress like a bucket with a little hole in the bottom. It's much quicker to full the bucket than empty it, and doing stuff to relax the body (of a person or a dog!) helps empty the stress bucket quicker.
I still think about this all the time.

@bumblebeedc (In het verleden gingen er ook geruchten de ronde dat Looopings gerund werd door een aantal mensen van de Telegraaf, maar of dat ook echt zo is, dat weet ik niet)

@bumblebeedc Yep, best een hoop zitten (helaas) nog op Twitter. Het was vooral de specifieke bewoording die me erg opviel.
Overigens verbaast het me totaal niet dat Looopings er nog zit en ik zie dat ook voorlopig niet veranderen, die komen immers voort uit GeenStijl-achtige kringen.

dansup meta, straight up lying about GTS on FediDB
'I understand there was a disagreement with myself and GtS regarding robots.txt, however, I always meant to add support for them, so I am doing that now.'
Versus:

'Regardless, I have removed Gotosocial from FediDB.org.'

More Dansup meta (bunch of receipts of bad behaviour)
After picking a fight with Tobi and GTS and publicly denouncing GTS because FediDB didn't respect Robots.txt. then getting called out himself for that, he's now adding robots.txt support to FediDB as if nothing ever happened.
From what I've seen there's no apology, no admitting that it should have been there all along, nothing.

Yesterday I listened to a random podcast and they said that you have to two things to deal with stress:
1. Deal with the source of the stress (do the task, solve the problem, settle the conflict, etc.)
2. Deal with the symptoms of the stress (rest, go for a walk, play video game, etc.)
I may not be smart but this has literally completely changed the way I used to think about stress. I thought you just have to do 1. and then you don't have a reason to be stressed anymore

@bumblebeedc (In hoeverre Madurodam daar zelf op stuurt, dat weet ik niet; in ieder geval niet overduidelijk. Maar ik weet vrij zeker dat dit de 'doelgroep' is waar ze het over hebben, want de nationalisten voelen zich wel thuis in een fascistisch hol als Twitter...)
twitter, madurodam
@bumblebeedc Voor een hoop mensen is Madurodam gewoon een gezellig dagje uit.
Echter vindt het ook gretig aftrek bij de ultra-nationalisten die het maar wat mooi vinden hoe 'echt Nederlands' Madurodam is, zeker omdat het vaak terugverwijst naar de geschiedenis, en 'vroeger waren we nog een echt land' en al dat soort onzin.

If you're at all interested in the technology behind rollercoasters, I strongly recommend https://www.youtube.com/@ThemeParkScienceOfficial/videos - the videos are in Dutch, but most of them have English subtitles available (proper ones, not machine translation).

Aldus Looopings: "Waar X ooit gezien werd als een vooruitstrevend communicatiekanaal, vieren nepaccounts en haatzaaiende uitlatingen - vaak anoniem - er tegenwoordig hoogtij. Moderatie is er nauwelijks. Toch ziet Madurodam naar eigen zeggen dat "een deel van de doelgroep" nog op X zit."
Tja, ik denk dat we allemaal wel kunnen raden welke doelgroep dat precies is, als het over Madurodam gaat...

Wolfwerend hek werkt niet? Deze cijfers laten vooral een ander probleem zien. Boeren die slachtoffer zijn van de wolf, maken amper gebruik van wolfwerende hekken om hun vee te beschermen.
Bij nog geen 2% van alle wolvenaanvallen die in 2024 in Gelderland plaatsvonden, werden de schapen of geiten beschermd door een goed wolfwerend raster. https://www.bndestem.nl/binnenland/wolfwerend-hek-werkt-niet-deze-cijfers-laten-vooral-een-ander-probleem-zien~a5bd5e06/

Few things are as frustrating as searching for the opposite of a common problem on a contemporary search engine
@ZeroEcks Huh, that's weird. I used the top-level one, not the kdePackages one. It also seems to work differently for me, so I've left a comment on the thread...

we have a reasonable dataset browser... upload process is working... feed generation is working... just need a little more moderation tooling and we are good to start indexing the dispersed dataset purge scrapes. fuck a digital book burning we've got the power of bittorrent and anime on our side.

@theresnotime It's a leaky feeder cable: same as the 4G installations on Crossrail and the JLE, increasingly elsewhere on the Tube too.

@theresnotime it's not a single cable, in the middle there is a conversion box between L'Ethernet and The Ethernet
@theresnotime@fox.nexus It's magic, right? I was surprised by this too when I went through it like 7 years ago (it was already working then!)
