[Article] Your brain codes smells as tastes, rewriting the science of flavor
For the first time, scientists have discovered that smell and taste are inseparable much earlier in the brain than we thought. New research shows that odors can actually be coded as tastes in the brain’s primary taste cortex, overturning decades of assumptions about how flavor is built.

superpaturnie del sabato senza grossa ispirazione cosmica
Oggi è sabato, e quindi è proprio un momento adattissimo per le riflessioni… Non perché è solo fortuitamente capitato che oggi fosse sabato, E contemporaneamente io sono piena di disperazione, no no… È proprio che il giorno è intrinsecamente ideale per le riflessioni, per motivi cosmici che neanche io sono in grado di decifrare ma che, viste tutte le cose cosanti, sono necessariamente veri. Questo perché ho realizzato un dubbio — o meglio, esso mi è tornato in mente nella pratica di questi giorni — che mi manda fuori di testa: per quale razza di motivo, meno sono distratta e meno mi viene da scrivere??? 🤥Oh, questa cosa mi fa incazzare veramente (e non direi più del dovuto come al solito, perché qui la cosa è dovutissima), perché, a parte l’essere semplicemente sconveniente, mi sembra contro-intuitiva: non dovrebbe essere il caso che, più si è in condizione di concentrazione, e più le cose dovrebbero uscire? Intendo sia idee per scrivere, che attimi vibranti per farlo. …O, forse, semplicemente la cosa non funziona trasversalmente come a me sembra che dovrebbe, e quindi, se sono estremamente concentrata sui momenti epici allora non posso riuscire ad esserlo anche su quelli scritturepici? 🤔
Più nello specifico, in genere, nei normali giorni l’entropia dell’universo fa gentilmente sì che mi arrivino vari trigger… ma invece, quando per qualche giorno sono fissata sul programmare qualcosa (come l’ultima appina fatta, che oggi ho continuato ad aggiornare, oppure nel breve futuro un firmware per creare una bomba con Arduino, non lo so ancora), le scintille non arrivano. Ma è strano, perché non ho chissà che standard alti io, lo sappiamo bene… nei giorni normali mi vengono idee per le solite belle stronzate semi-riciclate, mentre quando sono concentrata anziché superdistratta neanche queste arrivano. 💥
Probabilmente questa schifezza ha qualcosa a che fare con il ben noto fatto che la noia porta la mente a svarionare e far uscire idee stellari, tra cui quelle per i post pazzi, mentre il non annoiarsi inibisce questo meccanismo… e, dato che quando programmo certamente non mi annoio (almeno, nel 97% dei casi), probabilmente il mio cervello si rifiuta di elaborare oltre. Ma perché mai??? Eppure dovrebbe saperlo bene che se non riesco a scrivere almeno 1 post al giorno qui sopra ci rimango male, quindi dovrebbe impegnarsi un po’ di più a non far accadere ciò, no? 😾
Da un lato vorrei dare la colpa di questo anche al famigerato tempo, come sempre evasivo ed andante solo verso avanti, mai indietro per farne recuperare un po’… ma, a pensarci davvero, non sono sicura che sia davvero lui il principale bastardo in questa questione. Per quanto si, mettermi a programmare dalla mattina alla sera mi rubi una quantità considerevole di tempo, ci sono ogni tanto casi per cui sono completamente distratta, stando in mezzo ad altri impegni vari o eventi frammentati, ma nessuno su cui mi fisso particolarmente, e in un dato giorno di quelli mi escono 2, o anche 3 (ormai più raro questo, “rest in piss superoctt, they say you will not be missed and so they do not deserve to be pleased“) post qui. 😴
Una cosa è certa: il tutto non è miao (non è positivo). Sono quindi sempre alla ricerca di nuovi hackeraggi mentali e, per chiunque me ne proponga (a patto che NON richiedano l’assunzione di sostanze tossico-stupefacenti), sono pronta a provarne. Magari dovrei provare replicare quello che sto attualmente testando per gli animali crostini, ma con un gioco che sia meno diarizzabile, e così facendo potrebbero uscire nuove cose da scrivere qui ogni giorno (non lì eh, qui; il patto col diavolo accidentale riguardo lo scrivere ogni giorno l’ho fatto qui) quasi automaticamente… però troppa roba così rischia di richiedere tempo che non posso sempre allocare, e quindi non posso contarci troppo. 😫
Vabbè, sono cucinata ed evaporata, questo è quanto. Non mi succedono tante cose interessanti quindi, davvero, niente da fare. (Quanto vorrei trasformarmi nel sonno in un peluche di Kuromi gigante, così da non essere più costretta a fare i conti con queste mie paturnie umane troppo umane…)
Venezuela Announces Capture of Alleged DEA Agent With Massive Drug Shipment
According to Cabello, the detainees confessed the shipment was part of a "false flag operation" designed to incriminate Venezuela in international drug trafficking and justify external aggression. "The four detainees are saying they work for the DEA," Cabello told state television, calling the alleged plan a "maneuver for destabilization."Authorities said the boat originated in Colombia's Guajira region and was connected to a trafficking group called "Los Orientales," allegedly led by Gersio Parra Machado. Cabello argued that the operation demonstrated Venezuela's commitment to combating narcotics without resorting to lethal force. "We don't apply the death penalty," he said, drawing a contrast with U.S. military strikes on alleged drug vessels in the Caribbean.

Love that Metal Jesus is diving deeper into obscure PC games. As a former Sierra employee, he brings a perspective few retro enthusiasts can match.
And honestly, any spotlight on PC gaming history is welcome. It’s a part of retro culture that too often gets pushed aside.
Which blows my mind—because even if you only count DOS and Windows, leaving out Mac, Amiga, and Linux, PC still has the single biggest game library of all time.

Samsung Embeds Israeli Surveillance App on Phones Across MENA
Rabat_ Social Media Exchange (SMEX)—a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing human rights in digital spaces across MENA [Middle East and North Africa] — is warning that Israeli-linked software secretly embedded in Samsung phones across the Middle East and North Africa region poses a serious surveillance threat.
According to SMEX, Samsung’s A and M series devices either come preloaded with the app “Aura” or install it automatically through system updates, without the user’s consent. The application reportedly collects a wide range of personal and device-specific data, including IP addresses, device fingerprints, hardware details, and network information.

You talked about changing the address yourself in the browser bar which is already easier than loading up your home server and going through the step to lookup. For me what excited me about this idea was that people could be displaying the links in pages. You often see it with a socials section at the bottom of someone's blog, they link to their profile on their server when what I want them to link to is their profile with the web+ap protocol.
But this leads to another big UX problem, the links are useless if you don't have a handler registered. There is no fallback mechanism your browser will just ask you what you want to open it with and have an empty list of suggestions. So I think it would need to have a recognizable way to be communicated to the user, a consistent icon for the link and a memorable name because only people who knew they set up a handler would want them.

There are quite a few dialogues, yes... but once the initial setup is done it looks alright.
Curious... because when I open magnet:// links, there's no confirmation on subsequent links once I've done the initial handler assignment. It looks to be something reserved for

fediis maybe too broad to be useful? I wouldn't want a Lemmy post to open in Mastodon, and pretty sure opening a Mastodon post in Lemmy is impossible unless the post was directed to a community.web+threadiversecould solve that issue but that's kinda hacky. Maybe the real solution is to improve Lemmy and Mastodon so that they are capable of doing these things decently.I was actually thinking of making a browser extension that handles this instead. Each Fediverse software could write something to
window.fediverseor something like that, with tags for group support or micro blogging. The extension could have methods to infer these values for existing platforms. But the extension could give a dialog box to redirect, based on your preferred instances for certain tags.silverpill

in reply to silverpill • • •Re: Protocol handler?
The PR comments suggest that making the various changes to the backend were too large to justify, and a front-end only approach would be preferred? smitten@key.portend.place
It raises a good point though, where if you serve
web+ap://, it's not understood by clients that are not aware of this scheme. If there were a way a client could communicate whether there is a protocol handler registered, then the server could tailor its response.silverpill likes this.
smitten
in reply to julian • • •Glad to see more people having this idea! The problems we ran into were in helping the browser understand the address and know where to forward. Each server implements lookup routes differently, so there's not necessarily a generic path that you can trust is available on https on the person's home server, even if you know their home server origin. So in some ways the feature should be offered by your home server software, maybe offering a website that does the handler registration to its known lookup/redirect address.
But that is limiting in a few ways. It's a lot of extra steps for each person to do (browsers' default UI for registering protocols is not obvious or easy). It doesn't carry over to different devices, and if you have more than one home server in some way, you are back dealing with that not-great browser UI to pick which handler you want.
In general people are more accustomed to registering protocols to apps they have installed, especially phone apps. It's much easier to register them there and you don't have to have approval flow UI, but taking that approach moves this whole served handler route out of the backend again, so we have to start thinking more along the lines of web+ap-compatible servers that handler clients know how to call or bounce to.
