Hi all! My first "neuro-focused" post 🧠 has to be these beautiful #PlaceCells that I recorded in a #NeuroRat foraging for cocops in a rectangle. #Hippocampus
#NeuroForNewbies ⏬(trying this out)
What are "place cells"? They are a category of neurons, first discovered in the brain of rats, that activate only in specific locations in a given environment. Each place cell fires at a different location, together forming a sort of map (#CognitiveMap) of all the locations that we know.
plot legend is described in the alt-text
(Edit: added hippocampus tag)

No more of this ‘dot’ nonsense for me.
From now on it’s ‘period com.’
Gonna make a melee build in Fallout 4 with a character that looks like santa clause. Gonna see how much I can RP as a grizzled saint nick for this round
@92e3aac668edb25319edd1d87cadef0b189557fdd13b123d82a19d67fd211909@mostr.pub Right! Honestly I'm down to pay extra to just not have to deal with that shit. It's also frankly strange that it's required on consoles where I already need to give some corpo my personal information just to buy the game. Like, just use my playstation account. 🙃
Angry about corpo games
Fuck bethesda for making you make an account to play a singleplayer game. Paid 90 bucks for this shit and now I need to give them extra personal information to play it. I hate what game studios have come to and I hate tech's obsession with cloud shit and user tracking.
@hhardy01 facebook replaced meeting people in person and chatting about what they've been into lately
angry about gmail
@tychi Neat. :o Is there a FOSS or self hosted alternative to fastmail?
angry about gmail
Also now I'm seeing more sites that are like "Oh you need to use Chrome to access this" which I thought the web had gotten over for a while now.
Especially annoying when I'm loading via a chromium browser that certainly has whatever Google-pushed feature they want to use anyway.
Did people really give up on progressive enhancement and cross browser interop?
@yosh I think the biggest thing I miss is the network tab and the sources tab.
I get you can _kinda_ get it with some cli debuggers and vscode integration, but nothing I've used feels quite the same.
angry about gmail
Have I mentioned that I hate gmail? Their oauth login thing makes logging in with alternative clients a huge pain in the ass, and it's regular login requires a bunch of hoops to jump through and even then it barely works.
Really tired of this shit and that so many orgs require using it for "work email".
The calendar is also a pain.
People capitulating to megacorps ruining open protocols fills me with despair and is a recurring paint point.

Funny how people always go with the classic,
"If you're not doing anything wrong, you should have nothing to hide."
over a far more sensible:
"If I'm not doing anything wrong, you should have no reason to spy on me."
@ThunderHoneySnow Yeah thankfully it seemed to just be the street itself and I don't know of any houses that got flooded. Last year our basement didn't do so well however :P
@ThunderHoneySnow OMG my street was totally flooded until one of the neighbors cleared a drain grate. Cars were up to their hubcaps in the stuff.
Bluh, brain is super poopy today but I have so much to do. 😭 Excited to get some stuff off my plateand to build up a team to delegate some other stuff down the line.

Just saw that #Etsy has had three articles about how they mistreat their sellers in as many days. As an independent #artist myself, I've been struggling to find purchase (and purchasers) on the platform, which is why I started building #magpiemarket - a #federated Etsy-alternative. These articles just go to show how much we need a new space that helps #artists rather than uses them. Please #boost this to help us spread the word.
I think I could really enjoy renting a cabin for a few days and going offline. 😭
Maybe once I get some last urgent TODOs done.

Cory Doctorow: "Mastodon is far from perfect. But I only have so many hours in the day, and only so many days left in my life. I would much rather spend those precious hours making a open service better than using a temporarily superior closed one. I have seen that movie. I know how it ends"

@tty Oh! I should also say that I supplement the speech with my ps4 or steamdeck controller mapping. I have a mouse/copy paste/undo redo and some other text editing things on there and it helps a lot so I don't need to navigate with my voice for example.
still way less painful on my hands than a miuse+keyboard too
