Moving inside again to escape the mosquitos.

I wish the nice cool temperatures of the early evening when you'd like to sit on your balcony, aren't also prime mosquito time.

This sounds like a really interesting programme/series coming up on the BBC, about new discoveries around human origins:

Ella Al-Shamahi is also one of the best science presenters you can get.

I'm back from walking around and taking pictures in Genneper Parken, which is a large park inside Eindhoven that I had somehow never been too, despite having previously lived in Eindhoven for six years and now in the region for several decades.

From the information I read I had imagined it to be a park like Central Park, or St James Park, where people gather on a sunny day. I had brought sandwiches and a towel to sit on. Yet it's more a nature area with bicycle and footpaths, and lot of bridges over the two rivers that meander through it. So more a nice area to go through rather than to gather. I did a lot of walking and I'm now very tired.

But dinner to eat and photos to sort through. The above is my icecream break at the water mill.

Very interesting video about how crushes by someone who is autistic are even more intense.

The fair is in town and I took some pictures, that I still need to sort out. But also as a first since a long time I actually went into some attractions rather than just looking at other people having fun. For the bumper cars I took some time looking how people paid for the ride, expecting that nowadays you would tap your phone on the car, or type in some code. But no, it is still exactly as it was when I was a kid: you buy a plastic coin that you insert in the car.

Then I went into one of these high-g-force rides and am still feeling it...

Yeah, Mastodon's Unlisted is such a misnomer. My biggest gripe with it is that it mainly means "unsearchable".

And you can't really change that on a server, since that would mean that people who did mean "unsearchable" when they chose "unlisted", suddenly find their posts showing up in searches without their consent...

Friendica meanwhile shows threads as threads, but without the collapsing which would be very useful.

That's an urban legend, alas. While that *would* be a great way to make "unlisted" work, that's absolutely, positively, 100% *not* how "unlisted" works.
