banking 

Banking suuucks. One of my contracts involved using a custom payment service instead of my usual wise.com and it only gives me the option of depositing in my Canadian bank account even though it was being payed out in USD.

Now I need to physically go to my bank so I can do a SWIFT transfer to my Wise account so I can convert it to USD and send it out to subcontractors. 😭

Honestly if CBDCs can make this easier I'll let the gub control all my money for me.

@kawaiipunk Oh wow! I've been using Newpipe for Youtube and didn't know it had Soundcloud support. :O Can I log in with my soundcloud account to get access to the paid tracks (I'm currently playing SC for their premium thingie for that)?

@kawaiipunk Might be a good time to start using SCDL 👀

github.com/flyingrub/scdl

In whatever the totally legal way to use it is of course.

I also found that the shuffle function of Soundcloud isn't very great and keeps playing me the same tracks compared to VLC.

Did you know the Journal of Trial and Error is wanting to publish rejected grant applications? In their words, "We believe that applications often suffer from a highly competitive system rather than a deficient proposal."

If this sounds interesting to you, check out the call for submissions, which also has a link to their blog post on the topic: journal.trialanderror.org/pub/

Took my own advice and rewatched it. Still holds up 🥰

Has anyone made some sort of LLM bridge/bot for Matrix? It'd be fun to prime accounts with a prompt of who they are and invite them into spaces to chat with folks.

@ciourte Yessssssss. Exactly like that. Honestly I should get a calendar invite thingie that uses that as a time picker instead of 24 hour time. It'd make everything way more complicated for humies, but that's okay IMO.

Now if I could just get that on this proprietary cat feeder firmware with no obvious points of modification. 🥲

"Inuit are 85% of Nunavut population, & 70% of us have Inuktut as our mother tongue. Yet all the schools operate in English. Greenland runs an entire government in Inuit language. They’ve had an Inuit language school system since 1979. If they can do it, we can do it. 🧵 👇🏾

Also, how the heck am I to explain what daylight saving time is to a cat?

I wish automated cat feeders could automatically set themselves with the moon or sun cycle to match the something closer to the cat's biological cadence rather than some arbitrary human one.

Instantly forgot where I got this from, but this article is super cool for understanding programming on windows.

If you haven't yet, I'd recommend watching Shrek Retold. It's a scene by scene recreation of the original Shrek movie by a bunch of random animators on YouTube.

Each scene is done in a radically different style with different voice actors throughout and it's quite a trip.

@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!)

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.
