Dove Cameron's music video for her song Breakfast has an important message in the post-Roe world, not only the "Not The End" card.

Hi all, I have a few questions for the community about PeerTube strategy for online independent film distribution.

I'm part of an academic/art/film project and we are going to publish online about 5-10 short and long films in the next 3 years. Some of them will be trailers. Some of them will be films behind a password, to be viewed by a restricted audience for a while. Some of them will be freely accessible full-length films (eventually all password-protected films will be come available).

As a group, we want to publish in free/open access/open source platforms. We are already present on mastodon (post.lurk.org/web/@securityvis…) and would like to pursue a free-publish first strategy. What would you recommend? 1/2

Spoiled for choice... What to play to celebrate Alizée's birthday?

Happy Birthday, Alizée!

Apparently I have a key chord on my keyboard that will move the current window not only between monitors but between workspaces, and I know this because the cat found it.

For more gender balance I've bought a USB cable with one female and one male connector, rather than the more common all male ones.


I don't understand this generating 'app passwords' after setting two factor authentication somewhere. Where you first had one password that was difficult to guess, you now have one password that is combined with the 2fa code even more difficult to guess, but because you have five apps that don't support 2fa you also have five passwords that are difficult to guess. But that is still five times easier to guess than before.


I'm getting the feeling that Nextcloud is the emacs of the cloud world, like Synology DSM is it for a NAS. Whenever it looks like a desktop and people can make apps for it, they will make apps for everything whether related, relevant, or not, like it is some kind of operating system in itself.


The way to fix problems in Windows is nowadays, or I should say try to fix, not just to restart the computer. You need to do at least:

  1. restart to fix software issues, since shutdown and startup is no longer the same as restarting,
  2. shutdown, power down and power up to fix hardware issues


Just completely forget about logging off and on again...

I don't know why my computer keyboard has things like 'A' and 'Q' written on them, suggesting a function to put those letters on your screen, while in reality their function is to add the text '(not responding)' to any window title bar.


Wow, Instagram now has a chronological timeline with just the people you follow. Great! It's a bit hidden... They are working hard to become an alternative to Pixelfed 😅


Jenna Ortega is so amazing in this trailer, the details in the performance are exceptional. I've been singing her praises for a while and I feel so vindicated...

Mayhem, mystery and murder — this isn't your average Wednesday.

From the mind of Tim Burton, comes @wednesdayaddams. Premiering this fall


in reply to Gidi Kroon

A little detail as example: she learned how to play the cello for this role. There's no just waving a stick around near some strings here and then call it a day like some others would have done.

“Little did I know that I’d be stepping into a nightmare. Full of mystery, mayhem and murder. I think I’m going to love it here.”

Peacocking, is that a word? It just came to me. I was reading a tech forum of course.


> The preview image for the android app is just a spinner.

Valid.



Some people have forgotten how to use a phone. It goes to your ear.


People who say to go out and meet people don't understand how much when you go out you don't meet people. You're only confronted by how much other people are going about as couples or with friends, making it clearer how alone you are.


There's a dance festival going on nearby and I'm getting their music for free. I'm wondering how it's possible that after all this time, dance music is still the same. Shouldn't new generations invent new music?


If you're a spy, and you're found out having stolen secret information, some apparently think it's a valid defence to just say that the police should have asked for the information back.


I cycled around the airport today, after having forgotten how big airports are.


The average time since the start of the measurement is always 1.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

We are all time travelers, going about our time traveling with a speed of about 1 second per second.


It's come to it that you need two laptops per one electron application.


Imagine a company spending lots of time and money protecting their website from cross-site scripting attacks and other forms of code injection, to then place adverts on their site.


It doesn't really matter whether you have a Facebook account or not, it just helps them put a name to the person. In lots of other ways, they already know exactly who you are.


Jenna Ortega posted this amazing photo on her Instagram of herself in her Wednesday Addams costume. Can't wait to see what they've made!

Left wing value system: right vs wrong
Right wing value system: win vs lose

When a left winger steps back from an unjust fight, the right winger is honestly confused. When a right winger makes accusations of something they themselves are known to have done as well, and this is pointed out to them, they are like, I don't see your point.



I should know better than to fill in a contact form on a website after the faq's didn't answer my question. I should have known that I would just get a mail quoting those very same faq's that I had just read.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

I'm wondering how much these websites know that this just translates as they don't want my business.


Any demon they vanquish just comes back some seasons later, I don't know why they even bother.

The Clear View cover of my phone failed after five years of loyal service, so I decided the phone will have to go commando from now on and fend for itself.


A photoshoot is when you put up a photo of someone you don't like and try to hit it with a bow and arrow.


People who are comfortable taking a picture of themselves should probably not be and some who aren't, should.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

I am very much in the am not / should not category, but we live in a visual age.

someone should invent something where if you text your friends about something that made you mad on the internet they have the power to remotely lock your phone until you go outside and talk a walk or pet an animal or something. asking for me, i need this, my irritation at bad takes on recordkeeping stuff is reaching nuclear fission levels

Things I can't do:

  • lie
  • swear
  • be angry


These are missing circuits in my brain.

in reply to Gidi Kroon

I'm aware of the Red Dwarf episode where the subject was that the ability to lie is essential for social interaction (not necessarily the lying itself, but the ability).

I suppose that for everything you love, there will be someone saying how awful it is.

Using an external display, with mouse and keyboard, on my phone (over USB-C) is a neat experience. It works fine; typing this now with a physical keyboard on my phone, and it even charges the phone while I do it. Portrait mode, and landscape mode work, even Samsung DEX for the whole desktop experience.


Each time I upgrade Docker, I get new courgettes on my desktop.


Imagine having the superpower to heal anybody, but when the person you love with all your heart is mortally wounded you can't because the sheer panic of losing her consumes you completely.

Story idea that I realised I would never make into a story due to lack of time.


If searching for perfection is wrong, I don't want to be right.
