Hello there. I'm a visual artist, printmaker and author from The Netherlands (Ulft, Rotterdam, Hilversum).

I'm interested in how parts make wholes, late Romanesque / Early Gothic manuscript illumination, and long-form black metal. Maybe you have seen my bird prints?

re: medication 

@bananas Also even the generics are probably the most expensive medication I have right now lol

re: medication 

@bananas I expect that it's particularly sensitive to light (eg. instantly useless, rather than just accelerated decay), combined with the specific application of the medication (prevents organ rejection) being life-threatening if it goes wrong

These tall tales we see of complex apps being generated entirely LLMs, or legacy codebases being ported to new platforms in just a few hours... If they're not accompanied by actual code we can look at, or working software we can test, you can safely conclude it didn't happen.

So far, it never has. Not a single verifiable example.

re: medication 

@bananas It also exhorts you to keep it in the box to protect it from light, so I suspect it's just light-sensitive and the risk is in the film coating getting chipped and making the active ingredient ineffective

this is your monthly reminder that if you have built a nice community on mastodon and enjoy being here, you should really setup a monthly sub to help pay your instance admin for their work.

If you're able too, having a majority of users pay a few bucks a month makes it far less likely your admin is gonna get burnt out or your instance is going to randomly shut down one day.

this is real labor right

re: medication 

@bananas It's also really explicit about how you're not allowed to pulverize it

re: medication 

@bananas These are just film capsules; a similar text was on the box of both the brand-name stuff (CellCept) and the generic replacement

medication 

One of my medications says "handle with care" on the box and I don't think I've ever had *fragile* medication before...

Neither seems to have *any* interface settings at all..

Err, correction, in Gnumeric, the cursor is white on a white background.

I have to wonder if anyone ever tested any of this at all

Wow. Neither Gnumeric nor Calligra Sheets pass my 10-minute test with a dark system theme. In Gnumeric, the cursor is black (on a black background). In Calligra Sheets, the default text is black (on a black background) once out of editing mode.

re: firefox, rant at fedi 

@deneb

"aka. "you may not use firefox to abuse mozilla's services"."

It's not at all clear that that's what it means; "the AUP" could just as easily be interpreted to mean "the bulletpoint list", which then applies to Mozilla services *and* things that explicitly say the AUP is to be followed (ie. the browser). This is in fact the common interpretation of AUPs that I've seen in other places.

"my point was though, removing the old blanket statement does not in itself change anything, and they have valid reasons for removing it, however bad that looks"

The point is that a lot of people do not feel that those are 'valid reasons' at all (because the reasons are 'we want to be able to sell data'), and that is precisely why people are getting upset about this. That, and Mozilla reneging on their supposed forever-promise of not selling data, and what that implies about its future, *in the context of all the other stuff*, like them acquiring an advertising company.

This was never just about a ToS change. It's about the trajectory that Mozilla has been on for the past years, and the full picture of how it has been changing. The ToS change just made it explicit. Arguing that people didn't understand the ToS changes 100% correctly, even regardless of whether that is the case, completely misses the point of the complaint.

it's called ssh-keygen but doesn't even play cool tracker music?

I like that there's a number of orgs that advertise via stickers. If they didn't, I'd probably never find out about them, because I'm so terribly isolated.
