Vox tries to make sense of trends online (and maybe theyāre right š¤·š»āāļø).
Itās weird to me that out of 8 billion people on Earth, a whole ocean of takes and feels, there are these homogenizing trends and waves and pendulum swings. Luckily we can carve out a niche to breathe in, probably better known as friends and fam ā„

My 2DS since last update (not the one in this article) keeps āturning offā for a minute and then resuming. Sucks because I was using mine every day as a podcast player with the built in sound app to listen to Critical Role on walks.
This latest update, which I havenāt gotten yet but Iām warning all yāall of, just seems spiteful on Nintendoās part.
Overall Iāve already regretted trying to mod it, even though I support the idea of modding your consoles. Itās such a mindflip of compartmentalization being into FOSS for work while also trying to enjoy some Nintendo games.

Saw some people writing about me and complaining about the hearts I used to sprinkle my texts with, still do it sometimes but I used to do it a lot more often before all joy drain from the world last August and I fell into the gray void where Iām still haplessly crawling around to this day.
Supergood post on #blorb by Bastionland guy! I didnāt see this until now, more than a year later. Really great to see blorb explained by someone who gets it and who writes better & clearer than me š«”
āIn 2019, four of the seven SI base units specified in the International System of Quantities were redefined in terms of natural physical constants, rather than human artifacts such as the standard kilogram.ā

Hot trios are a curious trope. Iām talking about the gaston fanclub girls in Beauty and the Beast, the three women after Shrek wakes up empotioned in Shrek 2, and of course the brides of Dracula.
Even though I know that the triplicate trope only exists to dehumanize & commoditize these women, Iāve always wanted to know more about them and maybe see a movie or show where they are the main characters. I was like āforget Belle! Who are these interesting women?!ā
I just saw a breadtube where they had put a horror movie soundtrack style scary cue at the opening CW. (And it wasnāt a joke CW either, it was real bad stuff.)
Guys, that is not appropriate or helpful. The CW isnāt meant to be your titillating liāl shock gruesome thing. If you are to even use CWs ā CWs have advantages but due to their brevities canāt build up or cushion or contextualize topics properly ā then at least try to use them as a serious tool. You donāt have to go āhow can I make this traumatic topic even more triggering and impactful, for thrills!ā Sober the heck up.
Email can do a couple of things misfin canāt:
Mail is also our beloved and well-tended protocol with an installed base of literally billions. Four billion people. Most of āem donāt have e2ee but most do have s2se.
Misfin also is built to support proof of work crypto (with response code 64). Proof of work crypto is not good. Weāve been over this.
I know itās been done havinā one protocol thatāll last me.
If we would wanna xkcd://927 and switch to a new protocol, thereās XMPP. And a lot of others. Most of them pretty bad. Among them a polished gem: email.
Hannah Bradley nĆ©e Heath lived among the Abenaki two years (1697ā1699) and with another group (maybe Algonquinā¦?) in 1704. She is the primary source for acoount of the woman who survived the mass murderer Hannah Duston (canāt believe an elementary school was named after her)āthat account is on pp 59ā60.
She was newly married at the time of the Haverhill 1697, when she was 19. (Yes, geneology sites claim she was born in 1673 but this book says 1677.)
pp 27, 48 (I love the ādonāt record thisā note preserved for 326 years), 55ā57, 59, 70ā85.

Whatās a good antonym of woke that doesnāt feel too dorky & forced-meme? Numb, dozing, asleep, nappingā¦? Dreaming sounds too forward-thinking.
For all its faults, one neat thing about Watchmen that stuck with me is how the ads change in the end, from Nostalgia to some future optimistic campaign.
I think thereās a lot of truth to that.
And now that we have brownshirts in the Swedish riksdag itās making me look suspiciously at all the patriotic products and advertising and songs in mainstream culture. Iām normally super into traditional Swedish folk songs but now is not the time!
Everything from detergent to food to mello songs are reminiscent of the fucking blue eyed Jugend. š„š¾ā½ļø
This is also why I have some amount of understanding (ā agreement) for how the enemy is paranoidly thinking that everything we do is āpanderingā. Yāall know that in their world if thereās a chick in the screen for three seconds, Pandering Panic sets in and theyāre calling their Hush Hush Stay Numb anti-woke squad pals for a comfort sesh. But here I am, just as paranoid, staring just as suspiciously at my laundry detergent as they are.
The alt-right (probably better known as nazi fucks) are such a tiny part of society but so are we. If we look up from our Adorno and Foucault and Berman and Butler for a hot minute weāll see that the winds of change can switch rapidly and subtly and that most people are whimsical creatures of fads.
Pine needles and fresh air and wild strawberries belong to all of us. But when the brownshirted pundits are claiming it all for themselves itās jarring to see ad campaigns and mass media quickly pivot and bend to accomodate.
The enemy coined the phrase āvirtue signallingā but they do it too; we call it ādog whistlingā. Both sides are getting super paranoid and eager to scan for clues and shibboleths that someone is cool. That goes double here on Fedi. Weāre all like āoh no a new instance, what are their rules, what are their values, who do they hang out withā. I do it too.
Aināt a lot I can say about it other than keep those peepers peeled and that cranium cool and donāt get fooled.
Les fachos have a core cult of a few dozen shrewd rattletails and liesmiths, and the masses are just getting duped. Some are gullible, others opportunistic.
The various USB C to 3.5mm headphone dongles I have all sound completely awful. Is making a good, clean DAC a lost art? The old USB A one I have on my desktop (first-run Griffin iMic) is heaven sent. Itās like the clouds part and rays of pure sound shine through. And then I go on the iPad and my ears die.
It sounds like a sample rate issue š¤
