Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

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

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/

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

Commissioned https://vgen.co/angelrosestar / https://bsky.app/profile/angelrosestar.bsky.social today to draw a version of my avatar that's not just a rip from game assets - pretty happy with the results, I'm now a slightly less unoriginal cat online.
A++ would recommend paying artists.
#AskFedi: In JSON-LD, can you just specify an array of (type-valid) items anywhere a single item type is defined in the schema, or am I misunderstanding something here?

A friend likes holes in her jeans, but this pair had one too close to the seam that tore out further. She hunted online until she found the perfect patch for the situation, and I got them fixed up this morning.
As usual for repairing jeans, I put denim patching on the inside and stitched it in place, then added the decorative patch.

Hey #solarpunk people from outside of the Global North!
@SolarpunkConference would like to hear your voices on why they should allow you to watch their online #conference without having a credit card compatible with the US payment system!
Do we have anyone from #Ukraine or anywhere in #Africa ? #Brazil ? #India ? #southAmerica ? #southEastAsia ?

Well crap, a chunk just broke off from my root canal tooth. Knew it was going to happen eventually, but this is not exactly the optimal moment for that...
Well, off to the dentist I go tomorrow, I suppose.

If Bluesky is performing in a public square, Mastodon is choosing a queer clubhouse filled with queers and partying so loud that the cishets in the street outside occasionally overhear and get all touristy and interested
