@makeworld Good choice, very cyber. Are yah gonna update other references to it for consistency?

@quinn@octodon.social OMG literally sticking a yubikey in my flesh seems like the best way to avoid losing it. It should have a thingie that kills the private key if my blood pressure gets low enough. :P
If we're living in a dystopia we should at least have cool implants in it.

I've been talking with an academic researcher who is interested in speaking with people who have shut down their fediverse servers, for any reason.
I know it's a touchy subject so I didn't want to just refer her directly to people, but if you are seeing this message and you're interested, please DM me and I will give you her email. I did a 1-hour interview with her on more general topics and really enjoyed the experience.
(Boosts appreciated!)

@quinn@octodon.social @fission Low key excited to have bank chips in my hand instead of having to remember my wallet. :P

Lack of sleep linked to car accidents among teens and poorer achievement: When schools started after 8:30 a.m., attendance, standardized test scores, and academic performance in math, English, science, and social studies increased, while tardiness declined. One school that shifted start times from 7:35 a.m. to 8:55 a.m. saw a 70% decline in the number of local car accidents among drivers ages 16 to 18.

It is truly impressive how bad google search has gotten at just finding basic information and I do not understand why almost no one is noticing or talking about this.

I do not want Slack to provide a probabilistic summary of what I said. I don't want notion to guess what I'm going to say. I want to choose my words with clarity and precision in mind, and if people want me to take the time to read what they've written I would hope that they've taken the time to choose their words too
And I really want to take my words out of training data sets
Set my mother up with a Synology NAS recently. Lost a bunch of her files cause a cloud storage thing got yanked out from under her.
Now she can back her stuff up without having to worry about some corpo's opinions.
gender (mostly positive)
My mom is apparently my biggest ally in trying to gender me properly. Double hard since it/its isn't really used for people in Russian.
Then some anglophones struggle to even use they/them despite it literally being a single word change and doesn't even require using weird suffixes
feelings (positive)
I feel like I should share some more of my happy feelings on here.
Had dinner with my folks today and the slow relationship building we've been workinv on all these years is paying off. Had a lovely and chill time and felt pretty understood and appreciated.

I'm making an ActivityPub server for distributing transit alerts 🎉 The tool is completely open-source and fetches alerts from GTFS-realtime Service Alerts feeds
Official instance: https://transit.alerts.social
Currently works with:
@kingcountymetro
@commtrans
@soundtransit
I expect to add a lot more agencies to the instance in the near-ish future—want to validate more before going wider

So I was thinking a calendar is kind of like a one way sms to your future self. Unlike usual smss that mostly go through space to another person, calendar messages go through time to reach your self.

I do so enjoy when my beast accepts it's weekly offering. It's a clumsy little reptile and it's so cute when it strikes.
Glad it's okay with defrosted flesh and that it's food does not need to suffer.

BTW for anyone wanting to migrate away from centralized chat to a more #federated alternative via #matrix I'd strongly suggest using https://etke.cc/ to set up your own instance and bridges to your existing chat apps.
You can bring your own VM and pay them to set it up along with a small monthly fee for upkeep. Generally good if you've got a community that wants to migrate together.
@SyndicWill Also I would love to collaborate with folks that are into it.
Particularly around p2p fediverse, ad hoc mobile mesh networks, p2p web, and deploying this stuff to communities.
@SyndicWill Oh nice! I tried to apply to NGI Assure but I'm still waiting on that. I think a lot of the work I'm doing is very aligned with their goals but I just don't have the connections or correct framing yet. Ty for the link!
