Vuurwerk in juli
Ik ga de hele zaak met grote argwaan volgen – blij met het mogelijke effect van een verbod, blij als de narigheid die vuurwerk heet echt minder wordt, maar met grote zorgen vervuld over een staat die haar macht steeds verder uitbreidt. Een staat die aantoonbaar geen bezwaar heeft tegen gezondheidsschade, milieubederf en dierenleed. Een staat die niet de slachtoffers van vuurwerk werkelijk wil beschermen. Een staat die vooral bezorgd is over haar eigen gewapende hulptroepen. Welnu, als de overlast voor politie het enige argument tegen vuurwerk zou zijn, dan was ik van vuurwerk – en vooral van het massaal en wanordelijk afsteken ervan – een groot en enthousiast voorstander. Was het allemaal maar zo eenvoudig.

my deepest, most deranged fantasy: dupont cables that last more than one use.
especially a problem with female ends, everything I used in recent memory just goes poof after 2 or 3 insertions

No surprise that the fediverse is talking about #gravy today.

"A new study suggests that exercise doesn’t clear microclots in people with Long COVID—it just fragments them into smaller ones. These smaller clots are linked to increased inflammation and impaired oxygen transport, which may help explain post-exertional malaise (PEM) and post-exertional symptom exacerbation (PESE)—a worsening of symptoms after even mild physical or mental effort."
"Researchers observed these microclot and inflammatory changes even after submaximal exertion, highlighting the need for caution when recommending exercise-based therapies."

Outdoor thermometer says 38.7 celsius right now, at least it's still around 25 celsius in my office, and around 26.5 celsius in the living room

My friend apparently received a physical credit card from the UK (where his bank is located) and Post Nord calculated he should pay 29 cents in VAT and 21,5 euro in "import fee"

I think i'll need to defend my stance on not wanting to promote and use 'AI' at work to management soon. So i will be looking for good arguments that i can write down beforehand and use, so i can try not to go off the rails.
I am already reading 'The AI Con' by @emilymbender & @alex, but more suggestions that may be easier to use are welcome.
Feel free to boost this message 🙂

spicy thoughts
*Is* cycling actually more environmentally friendly than public transit, what with the energy needs of the creature powering the bike?

Dang, @PCMag really wants to make sure consumers know about every flavor of home surveillance Jeff Bezos has on offer. I'm sure it's an independent editorial decision.
By "depending on how you travel there" I mean stuff like "obviously don't drive there unless you actually intend to buy a trunk worth of stuff, instead take the bike or public transport or something".
PSA: If you're in Europe and frequently buy things from AliExpress, and there is an Action store near you (https://www.action.com/), check if they have the things you need first.
There's a lot of overlap in type of products and pricing levels, it can save a bunch of transport emissions (depending on how you travel there), and it's frequently cheaper too.

Sometimes, I receive questions which leave both me, and the person asking, bamboozled.
> Your website loads so quickly! What CDN do you use?
There is no CDN. It is just really small and simple, mostly text.
> Sure, but is that Cloudflare, or...?
None. It is a tiny website, just a few kilobytes per page, on a tiny server, at my home, connected to the Internet via my ISP, Andrews & Arnold.
> But are you / they in the cloud?
No. The webserver is in Newbury, in my garage.
> Neil, please can you pass my questions to your technical person? I don't think you understand, your website cannot be in your home. It must be in the cloud or have a CDN.

a "hypothetical" question to the reader, capitalism
Suppose that the reader is living in a country where there are just less jobs than people. Thanks, automation and amount of people that exist.
However, the country has not realized that with this, the reason for having capitalism and forcing everyone to work just sorta disappeared. Therefore, the reader is still forced to live through the inhumane bullshit that is not getting money because they can't get a job, and some unemployment agency constantly nags them to get a job.
What would the reader do?

Why everyone is talking about gravy today
It's an anti-scraping protest. Bots are scraping Mastodon(.social I guess)'s trending topics list and feeding it into the slop machine. Thread: https://godforsaken.website/@pisscotheque/114772705899034101
