Oh, also:
- Put together and installed two desks, for the other creatures in this house
Home improvement update log, since last post:
- Put together and installed several cabinets (finally! storage!)
- Installed a fake plant for decoration (helpfully, those don't die)
- Replaced the shower head pin with one that isn't decaying and half hanging out of the wall (this required dealing with expired wall filler)
- Replaced the vibration dampening for my air conditioner with washing machine dampeners, which turns out to work much better than my previous homebrew styrofoam solution
I've seen a lot of odd choices in GDPR implementation, but "the privacy policy is a Vimeo-hosted video" is a new one to me

Last week ago I saw someone use e14n instead of enshittification and thought it was the funniest thing ever, a way to somehow make the term even shittier.

#Covid’s going nuts again. Time to bring my #Aranet4 indoor air quality posts back. I’m in Monterey to photograph 4th of July festivities. I’ve been in 2 restaurants today, both with CO2 readings of below 600.
This one is a small Japanese cafe that’s almost filled to capacity. With 24 people in this smallish space, the CO2 reading is 540. I was standing for 5 minutes deep in the restaurant when the reading was recorded.
Just one door and a commercial kitchen hood can refresh the air at an amazing pace. This place had 2 cross vented doors and a hood.
Most *casual* restaurants I’ve measured have far better air quality when semi-full than a typical office. If you choose a crowded house party over a restaurant during a Covid wave, you may be choosing the higher risk.
Most people will choose to take risks, including most people reading this. Learn to choose the less risky option.
For reference, the outdoor CO2 on this day reads at 450. 540 in a small crowded cafe is very good considering.

Deze bus gaat naar Nieuwegein City. Voor mij heeft dat dezelfde vibe als Boerenkoolstronkeradeel Grand Central Station

My #Mastodon bookmarks (and previously twitter) are like a black hole that sucks in everything but will never show it again. Because there’s no sensible way to find anything ever again. For my own use, I created a small web app based on #streamlit that allows me to search and explore my bookmarks. It’s actually proven quite useful already, and now I decided to share the code as is in case anyone else wants to try it. https://github.com/frederik-elwert/mastodon-bookmark-search/
I would hate Thunderbird a lot less if it didn't constantly freeze mid-typing because of some internal operation in a mailbox somewhere, because apparently it cannot afford more than one thread?

question about plurality, Boosts appreciated <3
So, here's a weird hypothetical question.
If I was plural, how would I know? And is it possible to be pkural just as... aspects of myself, identities, but not necessarily separate identities within me?
I... have some curiosity about some things about myself, both now and in the past. I have no need to conclude one way or another, but asking the questions seems fun and at any rate, I'll end up understanding myself better in the end. I see no downside.

Subtooting half of fedi, Disability Pride Month
Disability Pride Month is the perfect time to review whether your post revolution utopias actually involve us or not, and if they do, whether it's to our detriment
source code in alt text
Finally got around to adding modifier/filtering support to relations in dlayer-knex, and pretty happy with how my database queries are starting to look now

Let's see if I can say this gently, so that nobody will get their knickers in a knot:
Hey anybody working in cybersecurity, wannabe-peer and queer American dude speaking!
Cops are an APT.
Republicans are an APT.
The cop in your heart is an APT.
Who are you really working for?
What are you securing?
Why?

Morgenochtend 10u in #DenHaag gaan mensen van uiteenlopend politiek pluimage tegen het nieuwe, extreemrechtse kabinet demonstreren! Voor veel mensen eigenlijk wel erg laat, want ik zelf en mijn antifascistische kameraden demonstreren al sinds mensenheugenis tegen #extreemrechts (en sinds 22/11 tegen dit aankomende kabinet). Maar goed, no bad feelings verder; we gaan er een goede demonstratie van maken met z'n allen! 🪧 
Wel één advies voor mensen die niet zo vaak op demonstraties komen: PRAAT NIET met #Powned, #Bender, #UP! Network en #OngehoordNederland! Dit is geen legitieme pers! Het enige wat ze doen is hun items zo verknippen, dat het binnen hun extreemrechtse narratief valt. Een betere term voor deze lui is #haatentertainment. Je hoeft ze niet te slaan, maar wel negeren en als ze echt lastig worden, ze met zachte hand uit de demonstratie verwijderen. Veel succes!

Things done today:
- Installed new towel rack (whoo, turns out it's screw-compatible with the old one! I hate drilling into concrete)
- Installed clingfilm/tinfoil dispenser on kitchen wall (and fucked up the screw spacing, hence the screw movers)
- Installed the new toilet seat (not yet sure whether it is actually an ergonomic improvement over the old broken one)
Definitely glad to finally be getting some home improvement stuff done. Various cabinets etc. arriving tomorrow so I can finally tidy up stuff that has so far lived mostly on the floor
(Also yes, I've been away taking a break from fedi and Matrix, and will likely resume doing so soon)
Today's design: a 'screw mover' for correcting the positioning of screw holes that are just *slightly* off, enough to be a problem, but not so far that you could just drill a new hole next to it.

palestine +
as a result of the months-long student encampment for palestine at swansea university, the uni has agreed to divest 5 million from barclays bank ❤️💚🤍🖤
when they hold banner drops on the bridge over the big road, all the traffic beeps in support too <3
re: hot take, subtoot
This applies doubly so for *security* advice, which is what this is originally subtooting.
