@glyph@mastodon.social The way to win this is to do what you're doing: show the specific harms, discuss ways to mitigate. Never end with "and it's your fault for using them, and we should ban it all." That's the conclusion you want people to eventually reach for themselves; only then will they actually believe it.

@bradr@infosec.exchange If you're into museums, the Vasa museum is quite cool. Skansen is a large park/outdoor museum kind of area that should be really pleasant when the weather is nice. Gamla Stan ("old town") has a lot of narrow alleys and restored medieval buildings, but also so many tourists and tourist shops you're unlikely to actually see much of it.

I'm *really* surprised just how good this is as a not-quite #macro for insects. Magnification is ~1:4 but that's at almost 1.5 meters, so it's easy to get close without scaring them off. This is so much fun! Ants and similar-size animals are probably a bit too small, but anything the size of a bee is fine. 5/6 #photography #insects #bee #dragonfly

The Japanese media cycle needs to consider the effects on people of their wall-to-wall coverage of the news of the moment. We're on our third day here in #hokkaido and my wife is terribly disappointed that we have yet to see a single bear.

@glyph@mastodon.social Remember that smoking had been universally accepted for many decades, is highly physically addictive, and had as much of big business behind it as anything else has ever had. Even doctors endorsed it. And yet, even as regulation repeatedly failed, the slow drip of highlighting the personal and social detriments gradually eroded social acceptance to the point where regulation became inevitable.

Breakfast of champions! #hokkaido #shiretoko

@bagder@mastodon.social Worth mentioning: In Sweden, having "industry vacation" in summer is a long tradition. Entire businesses may shut down for a few weeks, with phones/email manned only by a lonely summer intern. Summer is short, and it's the only way for most people to take vacation when it's actually warm and nice; Swedish employment law still guarantees 2(?) weeks of vacation during the summer months I believe.

Unsurprisingly, it does birds *really* well. And shooting birds is really fun! I even got a bird guide, just so I can figure out what species they are. I'm surprised just how much I enjoy doing this. Will I end up a bird watcher? It's possible! 3/6 #photography #birding #birds

@Heliograph@mastodon.au About 15-20% does. A sharp drop of supply of that magnitude will lead to much higher prices. So far we've been mostly insulated from it by countries oil reserves, but those are not infinite.

I got the lens because we're going to Shiretoko national park in Hokkaido this summer, and many animals won't let you get close enough for a wide lens. But now that I have it, what else could a lens like this be useful for? 2/6 #photography #lizard

Am I the only one to see the word "demoscene" and think "Huh, haven't heard about that geological period"? "In this stratum we see traces of the demoscene; when Earth was bombarded with flashing light and chip tunes".

RE: https://layer8.space/@f1veg0ldenrAyz/116943491601599016 So, so very much this! Yes, Arch is cool. Yes, Steam OS is built on Arch.Yes, Arch has the best documentation out there. But telling a beginner to use Arch is like telling someone moving out of their parent's house to learn to cook by catch, kill, dress and cook a wild pheasant, and expecting them to have a nice experience. Let people start with something like plain, non-weird Ubuntu. They can pick their own distro once they have the experience to know what to look for.

@never_released@mastodon.social I mean, all except the second point are technically correct. 😋

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange Good general hot weather tips for clothing:

• There's a reason loose fitting covering clothes are common in hot climates. You want to create your own portable shade. Loose pants, a linen shirt - something like that is great. If nothing else, at least wear a hat.

• When you go out for school or work, bring a couple extra t-shirts. Being able to change into a fresh, dry t-shirt during the day does wonders for your comfort and for your mood.

People. I love shooting people, though I don't do it so much these days (I need to write something about that). This lens can do isolated portraits really well. But usually I want to get in much closer and be in the scene, not apart from it. 4/6 #photography

@fieldswork@wetdry.world Well, egg does not make egg, you know.

@tomas@mastodon.gamedev.place Ahh, springtime! The newborn little railcars finally emerge from the den behind their mother, jumping with joy!

@tml@mementomori.social Is there enough travel happening that it can be vaguely justified? I guess the terrain also makes it pretty challenging (and expensive) to make the kind of largely flat, straight line that high speed trains need. Even Japan is only running actual high speed trains between high-density metropolitan areas much larger than either Oslo or Göteborg.

@ludicity@mastodon.sprawl.club I took a look at HN (I don't normally visit) and honestly most comments were largely in agreement. Mostly adding nuance to your argument. You may have a more receptive audience than you think.

@pfriedma@pfedi.pfriedma.org @mttaggart@infosec.exchange As a hobby I've recently found that writing RISC-V assembly is an absolute blast! Get a Pico RP2350 and you have not one but two cores and lots of cool peripherals to play with. And unlike X86, RISCV is actually pleasant and quite readable. No. I'd not write any "real" code in assembler these days. But as a side project it's really fascinating.

@NicolaF@linuxrocks.online @gnome@floss.social What's with the dislike?

@MLE_online@social.afront.org Sounds delightful!

@mho@social.heise.de @dcdeejay@mastodon.online An instance will only see the posters that its members are following. So a small instance will never see nearly as much content as one of the larger ones. It's not linear; I expect that due to network effects even a moderate size instance such as ours will in practice see most posts in the network. But not even the largest instance sees all posts.

@rperezrosario@mastodon.social @eff@mastodon.social I use Feeder. It's been good.

@onkologen@mstdn.social @Krux_22@mastodonsweden.se Man har forskat på det och det visar sig att totala motionen ökar hos nästan alla grupper, inklusive folk som tidigare bara använde en vanlig cykel. Som du säger, man använder elcykeln så mycket mer.

@swelljoe@mas.to Try Pixelorama perhaps. It's good enough for my crappy eyes - of course your experience may differ from mine. Edit: in general I prefer to activate "large text" in the accessibility settings rather than scale the UI.

@ludicity@mastodon.sprawl.club I saw that comment :)

@mho@social.heise.de @dcdeejay@mastodon.online We are about 3.8k posts and 1.5k participants from our server which has ~10k users. So a fraction of Mastodon.social, but we still see most of the posts.

@alanferrier@mastodon.scot Also, the dissolution of the union was ultimately peaceful, though it was apparently touch and go for a bit. Today we're getting along fine. After the Union there was a DMZ around the southernmost border. Years ago the Swedish army held exercises in the area and it was only after some historian pointed out it wasn't a great idea that the governments realized it was still in effect and everyone had forgotten about it. It's now abolished.

@rightsprung@c.im If it helps we have lots of earthquakes here in Japan and I can't recall any reports of collapsing cranes.

@blog If you're a family of four all streaming their own stuff at the same time you're already well past 100MB.

@theludovyc@mastodon.social Ahh, you do external screen as well. I have a tablet and use it instead of a laptop away from home.

@swelljoe@mas.to Flatpacks and Snaps are by default restricted, but you can give them access to other folders yourself.

@afewbugs@social.coop @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @_elena@mastodon.social This is apparently pretty normal across social media. Most people never post at all, they just listen to others.

@mwichary@mastodon.online FYI, I'm on a large screen (10 inch tablet with keyboard and Firefox in desktop mode), and it still only pops up a message that I should use a computer or large tablet. Perhaps add a toggle to force enabling the playgrounds, for cases like this?

@DrEvanGowan@fediscience.org Eventually the increasing ice cover would reduce sunlight for the plankton to grow?

@loke@functional.cafe @blog Yes, bursty stuff like that definitely benefits (same when I need to move data between work and home when I work remotely). An especially if another family member is trying to do something at the same time. For the provider we're probably at the point where sub-1G equipment is starting to become unavailable; it may be cheaper to upgrade users than to keep providing the old service.

@rightsprung@c.im Has to be more dangerous to climb down than to stay put. What's the procedure for earthquake warnings?

@landetannien@mastodonsweden.se Misstänker ingen människa har varit inblandad i mer än att skriva prompten som genererade boken...

@mwichary@mastodon.online Samsung S11, up to date Android Firefox. Now i suspect there is some weirdness with using Firefox specifically . When I override and get to the first playground it shows it briefly, then reloads the entire page without the override. Don't sweat it - Android tablet with Firefox is a rare corner case. I'll look at it on my laptop some other day.

@richcarl@mastodon.nu But also 10 times the people so only twice the number of bears to attack each inhabitant.

@theludovyc@mastodon.social I'm using Godot on Android as well. Works fine as long as you have a keyboard and mouse.

Derek Lowe on clinical failure rates for drug candidates (over 90%) and how that puts enormous and unique constraints on the drug development industry. As he asks, what would the car industry look like if 90% of new car models proved unusable, after you already spent years designing and setting up manufacturing for them? https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/clinical-failure-rates-over-decades-yikes

@tml@mementomori.social I know there is. But is there enough people moving between the cities that a high-speed line won't be running mostly half-empty?

@bagder@mastodon.social For people not aware that this kind of summer holiday is perfectly normal and expected; not a stunt of some kind.

@mwichary@mastodon.online I've got 11 inch at 2560x1600 - is that too small? If it is, my laptop won't be able to run it either...

@ShadSterling@mastodon.social @ariadne@social.treehouse.systems I did not say I want it. I say that I understand why they would want to. And, judging from what I see at work, increasingly are doing.

@richcarl@mastodon.nu We did it at school if I remember correctly?

@ariadne@social.treehouse.systems I expect they're sold out as well.
