Ugh, I definitely have a virus. Looks like I’m skipping the DnD cookout today. 😕


I'm having a hard time staying away from programming and work stuff. I should probably spend today just playing video games nonstop. It's healthy to switch off sometimes.
in reply to Roni Rolle Laukkarinen

I often have the same issues. Working a lot and then also some work days are coming where it’s hard to do any work. Since last year I started to do things outdoor at least an hour per day like walking, doing something in the garden, running, etc I have a much better rate one keeping the level and still a high motivation.



Dieses Jahr bleibe ich lieber daheim
bei dem Wirrwarr muß verreisen nicht sein.
Tu meine Phantasie und Kreativität entfalten.
will den Balkon in ein Urlaubsparadies umgestalten.

[.]

Freudig begebe ich mich zu meiner Liege
glücklich unter meine Decke krieche.
Genieße einen Cocktail höre südländische Musik und
schau auf die Sterne und stelle fest ich muß
überhaupt nicht in die Ferne.

Das Bild zeigt eine idyllische Landschaft mit einem blauen Himmel, der von weißen, flauschigen Wolken durchzogen ist. Im Vordergrund sind grüne Blätter und Pflanzen zu sehen, die teilweise im Fokus sind. Hinter diesen Pflanzen erheben sich dichte Bäume, die verschiedene Größen und Formen haben. Die Bäume sind dicht mit grünen Blättern bedeckt, was auf eine gesunde Vegetation hinweist. Im Hintergrund sind weitere Bäume und ein Teil eines Gebäudes zu erkennen, das teilweise von den Bäumen verdeckt wird. Die Uhrzeit und das Datum, 31.08.2025 um 15:33, sind im Bild eingeblendet.

Right-wing libertarians are fundamentalist neoliberals: They truly believe that the market as it is self-regulates, and that the state machinery is useless in this. Right-wing libertarianism is an admission of belief and ultimate faith in the deified market. #politics

"The killing of journalists in the Gaza war is its own genocide. According to the Costs of War Project, it marks the single deadliest conflict for journalists in world history.

By mid-August, Israel had killed up to 274 journalists, with 269 of them Palestinian, according to aggregate data from the Committee to Protect Journalists and the International Federation of Journalists."

Gemeint ist in diesem Zusammenhang die neudeutsche Bedeutung, also diskriminieren als herabsetzen, ausgrenzen und vorstäzlich schaden zufügen.
in reply to Günter

Natürlich wäre dieses Umdeuten von Worten viel schwieriger, würden wir deutsche Worte verwenden, wo es deutsche Worte gibt. Aber dieser Gedanke ist ja auch schon als rechtsradikal im orwellschen Sinn eingeordnet, weil viele ein höheres Bewustsein erlangen würden, wenn man wieder "deutsch" spräche und nicht nur denglisch.

Wenn eine kleine Destille die tatsächlich alle selbst herstellt, dann okay! Aber in den meisten Fällen werden die Destillate doch vermutlich industriell in Massen hergestellt bzw. eingekauft, nehme ich an. Ebenso der Grundalkohol.

Das Komponieren kostet ein wenig Zeit, die Produktentwicklung insgesamt will ich auch nicht schmälern. Dennoch, im Vergleich zum Aufwand z.b. beim Whisky empfinde ich viele Gin Produkte als überteuert.

Dateline 2039: society has collapsed months after the Y2K38 bug rendered Linux systems inoperable globally.

I think the only #Fediverse apps that could comply with age verification laws (as they have the tools available) are #Threads & #WordPress (I believe commercial plugins are available for the latter).

Age verification tech is best handled by experienced third-party apps (for security reasons), but #Mississippi does not understand the risk & cost factors for complying with their law.

👉🏾 #Mastodon says it doesn’t ‘have the means’ to comply with age verification laws techcrunch.com/2025/08/29/mast…

in reply to Darnell Clayton

one option might be using big identity providers, like Google and Facebook.
in reply to Evan Prodromou

@evan That is an option, but many folks in the #Fediverse might be wary of relying on #Google or #Meta.

It will not be long before an Age Verification company that makes plugins for #WordPress will create a premium workaround for #Mastodon sites.

in reply to Darnell Clayton

I think the other option is running small instances where the operator has a relationship with each of the users. For example, a company instance, a university instance, or a household instance.
in reply to Evan Prodromou

Finally, cooperative instances like cosocial.ca, where we have a membership model and payment infrastructure.
in reply to Evan Prodromou

@evan That would also work too. We could see the Fediverse embrace that model, which would by default not only verify users (via payment method) but also help bring in funds to keep the servers running.
in reply to Evan Prodromou

@evan I agree. It's the best way. One can meet someone (or already met them) so that's basically "verification". And this method also won't trigger Digital Privacy and Data Retention laws, and no PII leak issues later other than the usual (email, handle, and whatever the user [irresponsibly] shared)—if ever that happens.

It's better than having PII that many jurisdictions are strict about. For example, here in the Philippines, companies are not allowed to announce "Happy Birthdays" or post a list of monthly birthdays unless they acquired a written permission from their employees. Birthdays are one such PII that our Privacy law takes very seriously. We can even decline giving our birthdays in job application forms (which passes to many hands), and there's nothing they can do about it. An individual has an exclusive right to disclose their birth date.

So, yeah, a local instance is better because such scenarios like requiring age verification can be done without storing any data. In addition, only the local Privacy and Data Retention laws will apply (unless the individual is a foreign passport holder of course).

@luca @evan From what I understand about Mississippi, regardless of the method, you must be able to be sure and able to know whether adult content can be exposed to minors. You can completely prohibit access to minors or simply control the exposure of such content. It doesn't matter how. For the UK, it is largely related to the number of users. Above a certain threshold, it is mandatory (see Wiki).

Direct imaging of exoplanets is a challenging area tackled by ground based telescopes with systems like VLT-SPHERE.

Techniques used by SPHERE and its 3 instruments include -
1. Adaptive optics to correct for the turbulent effects of the Earth’s atmosphere
2. Coronagraph to block out light from the star
3. Polarization filters (light reflected off planets is polarized).
4. Use of IR bands such as H and Ks that are translucent to earth's atmosphere.
5. Spectroscopy

The discovery of exoplanet WISPIT 2b was followed by additional observations.

This study led by U of Arizona astronomer Laird Close used the MagAO-X system at the Magellan Telescope in Chile. It discovered a 2nd planet CC1 (mass = 9 Jupiters, distance = 15 au from the star). It also observed and measured accretion of Hydrogen by the planet from the dusty disk.

#Mastodon does NOT need to verify you in ANY way!

The only verification happening is when you create an account and confirm your email, that’s it

Staff members can recognized by a badge on their profile right under the username(see image)

If someone does ask you to verify in whatever way, please do report the post so staff can take care of it!♥️

in reply to stux⚡

Question: about countries age verification laws, could those lead to more scams here? Or could servers be forced to comply with those?
