Self care tip: take some time to enjoy the schadenfreude of the NFT market collapsing

a 2-metre diameter disco ball will set you back roughly 15000 euro
And keep in mind that this is a standard desktop computer running a recent OS with recent drivers, on a Ryzen 3900X with an RX 5700 XT -- not some weird laptop vendor horror
My GPU (driver?) just hung so hard that after powering it off by holding the power button and starting it again, it got stuck on fan spin and no display output, and even holding the power button didn't turn it off anymore, and I had to use the physical PSU switch to reset it.
The cause: exiting OpenTTD.
Perhaps this whole "computer" thing wasn't such a great idea after all?

The terminology still isn't entirely clear to me - "ecoterrorism" is what the petroleum industry and its lobby do, right?
Yeah this video is actually legitimately pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZEHKQ4CmTk

The day has finally come - I've run across a video about Linux on YouTube that actually contained a useful insight!!

second protip: archive.ph doesn't execute the javascript so mastodon CW's don't work. You can use a custom CSS snippet with Stylus to view them anyways though! (code in next toot)

protip: you can search https://archive.org and https://archive.ph with wildcards for all toots under a fedi user, and usually the archived threads are exactly the sketchy ones you're looking for

For a supposed team productivity app, it's truly astounding how bad Slack is at making sure you don't miss things

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

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!
I'm looking for recommendations on e-mail providers! Since Google is axing my free GApps plan soon.
What I'm looking for:
- Support for own domain, including catch-all
- Reasonably priced (single user)
- Good reputation on reliability, deliverability(!), and privacy
- *No* jurisdiction marketing ('we're private because we're in country X')

de, ger, asking for endo recommendations, boosts appreciated
can anyone recommend me an endo who's
- near frankfurt (or like, as close as possible and closer than berlin, lol)
- does hrt on transfems, including non-binary ones like me (i'm very fem-presenting tho which kinda helps and i might be able to pretend i'm binary)
- respects their patients' wishes in terms of dosage and administration method
i already have an indication letter since >=6 months and i'm already on prescribed hrt since >=5 months, but my endo is in berlin, hard to contact and very far away, and he is technically not an endo but an Allgemeinarzt and i'm never rlly sure if he actually knows what he is doing, so i would like to switch to someone competent (yet not less trans-friendly) who's closer to where i live
#trans i guess
also boosts appreciated
