Nachdem ich letztens mein #Framework Laptop in klebriger Limo ertränkt habe und jetzt einige Tasten klemmen, zeigen sich die Vorteile des Systems ganz praktisch: man kann jedes (Klein-)Teil einzeln als Ersatzteil kaufen und selbst mit wenigen Handgriffen ersetzen. Es gibt sogar extra Videoanleitungen für alle Schritte, es ist nichts verklebt o.ä.!
Jedes Teil ist außerdem mit einem QR-Code beschriftet, über den man zum Shop und zur gut gepflegten Wissensdatenbank geleitet wird 👌
Hier das Beispiel "Tastatur austauschen, aber alte Abdeckung weiter nutzen": https://guides.frame.work/Guide/Keyboard+Replacement+Guide/83?lang=en
Pour me remettre de l'#afterwork, ce soir, j'ai bidouillé un petit #notebook #Python qui prend une liste de mots en #français, et avec de l'analyse #statistique (notamment les fréquences des suites de lettre), génère un mot "plausible".
Entre autres "benchn", "déntagarotrotienilimindé" ou "jeulotau-fioten"... "dieu" est apparu (alors qu'il ne fait pas partie des données d'entrées), tout comme ces mots plutôt mystiques :
ardépolobatie
vemiste
sévier
Vous voulez proposer des définitions ? 😁
ahhhh, der Freund hat mit dem #3D-Drucker eine #Halterung ausgedruckt, mit der man das #Smartphone oben an das #Notebook-#Display befestigen kann, um das Smartphone als #Webcam zu nutzen.
... und beim ersten Ausprobieren rutscht mir die Halterung ab und fällt aus ca. 30cm Höhe auf den dicken Teppichboden...
... und bricht sofort dumm ab.

Can Microsoft recover from the collapse of its Surface business?

Slept shitty. I cannot sleep anymore without pain. I can only lie in positions for a period of time before I wake up, incredibly uncomfortable or numb. The pain takes a few minutes to fully register once I've woken up so luckily that isn't really an aspect of my waking up countless times throughout the night. I can usually get back to sleep pretty quickly after a readjustment…
For awhile now I've been getting what I guess are stress headaches and I can't seem to ever get rid of them. How long has this been going on? What feels like months has been, I think, a couple of weeks. Less?
Freaked myself out last night. Sometimes I feel so incredibly stuck in this pain prison that it scares me. Either just the torture of it or the idea that it's killing me. This morning I decided to make a couple of changes as an experiment, to see if it helps.
I think I can tolerate a decent amount of pain—not that I should have to, but I can. Lately I feel like I can't tolerate this. I never feel ok unless I'm in meditation.

Napped last night, got up and fed Wheezy, then made something easy for myself.
More sleep, now awake before sunrise. I like sleeping as needed and then being awake at random-feeling times.
Wanted to play the game I’m currently glued to for comfort, but it’s down for maintenance so I think I will meditate instead. Feeling a little off so I’ll tune in and listen to my body.
Meine aktuelle #Radtasche hat eine maximale #Zuladung von 1kg je Seitentasche.
Wusste ich nicht.
Stand nirgends.
Ich fahr da seit nem Jahr mit nem 2kg #Notebook rum. Klar, dass die kaputt geht.
Heute hab ich das auf der Herstellerseite gelesen.
Klasse -.-
Neue Tasche bestellt.
Anderer Hersteller. Der lässt 10kg Zuladung je Tasche zu.
Eine Frage an die #mdRza Bubble und alle anderen Fahrradverrückten!
Ich suche eine #RackTime #Fahrradtasche, die den Transport von #Notebook|s ermöglich und offiziell unterstützt.
Meine #Tasche ist nach einem Jahr kaputt, weil die Nähte aufgehen etc.
Was will man da haben?
Sollte noch ein bisschen Platz für #Werkzeug und #Ersatzkleidung haben...
Really thinking closely about #burnout today. It’s like I’ve been telling myself for a long time, ‘yeah sure I’m burnt out, that sounds right’ but it never really sunk in. As if it were just some vague excuse, some almost disconnected reason why I can’t write, can’t think, can barely take care of or handle anything at all.
Today I really saw where I’m at and how much I need to back off and rest and to stop trying to keep starting. To let myself off the hook and stop guilting myself for what I can’t do.
I also traced it back…
In a way I feel like I’ve been burnt out almost my entire life, but I think this particularly intense episode could be traced back two years to when my dad died which was a complicated time for a number of reasons and I shouldered a lot of stuff I’ve never had to deal with before. And if I think about it at all; I have not truly rested, truly shut myself down since that happened. It’s been all worry and false starts and exhausted attempts and then me wondering over and over again why nothing is working.
Caffeine's got me really jittery today so I had to switch to tea after my first coffee. Running out of loose leaf tea.
Fed Wheezy, did up the dishes.
#Chores are easier for me to get through these days than tasks requiring more mental work. I think it's because while I'm cleaning, I can let my mind go whereas while I'm writing (etc) there's a strong sense of mental tension, mental presence, and my mind feels trapped in place.
It's so frustrating to feel the need to over think how to think.
Focus hasn't been great today.
Did some dishes. Worked for about 25 minutes.
I've been trying to sleep only on my back after noting that when I sleep on my side, I wake up with a lot more pain and seemingly more emotional problems. Maybe just simply a result of more pain + less quality sleep = more mental discomfort. Last night I slept on my side and I'm just not here today.
On the plus side? anxiety is low because I'm only half-present, at best. (This trick only works as long as no one tries to pull me out of myself, but so far so good.)
Instead of spending $15 on 3 blank pocket sized Moleskine Cahiers, I made a couple of sweet little #notebooks out of #paper and card I had at home, for nothing. So satisfying!
When I get the Posca paint markers I ordered today, I'll be making more notebooks from scrap paper and paint over the top till my wee heart is full.
Thinking on past friendships and how rarely I connect with people or even like people. Not spinning this in any negative way, just musing on it today.
I’ve had a number of friendships that have felt like ways of masking in and of themselves. Makeshift farces of friendship accepted by me because they made me feel like I could blend and go unseen, which is what I wanted. Friends to have because I felt I should.

Feeling much better after a shower.
Had some leftover Chinese for lunch. Then some corn on the cob. I've been interested in food again lately and that's been nice. Much less time spent feeling sickly.
Meditation this morning has my back feeling better. I was in such a bad state yesterday.
Going to make some coffee and read for awhile. Or would I be better off napping? A. and I started reading #Imajica together. We've yet to make half a dent what with my focus lately and his work schedule always.

Orson update
Orson was developed as part of my PhD research, and now that I am just working on some Minor Corrections to my thesis, it is no longer a funded project.
That fact, together with a recent trip to the Outer Hebrides has meant that the development rate has been slower of late. I will be starting a new job very soon too, so updates will continue to be less frequent.
However. I will continue to work on it, and treat is as a long-term project, not least because I use it daily myself, but also because it hasn't yet achieved its potential with regards to my research interests. So expect more updates in future!
Most recently I have done considerable work in updating the Orson code base from Vue2 to Vue3 (not published yet) and in getting rid of a lot of duplicated code at the same time.
As Orson is an open-source project I encourage others to get involved, particularly because of the new limits on my time. One of my goals is to improve the plugin system, in order to encourage plugin authorship by contributors.

A breve i PC fissi aziendali della mia compagna verranno rinnovati. Stavolta metteranno tutti portatili con docking station per tastiera-mouse-schermo.
La spiegazione è che i portatili sono più performanti dei fissi (a parità di prezzo?) e consumano meno energia.
Stesso pensiero espresso un annetto fa da cognato ingegnere informatico.
Non ne so abbastanza: qualche idea a riguardo?

Had a little talk with my mom earlier that proved helpful in relieving some stress anyway.
Then I came home and randomly started two shows I've never watched before (and enjoyed them both): #OnlyMurdersintheBuilding and #TheXFiles. The X-Files is hitting a particular spot because I'm yearning for the 90s right now.
Looking forward to the rain tonight 🌧️

Just trying to relax a bit.
I find it interesting that people got triggered after I wrote I will move to another #Mastodon instance, because of the #500chars limit. (the instance I am on right now has a 10k chars limit ❤️).
The person argued that Mastodon is a #microblogging software, like people are forced to it and it's not a #macroblogging website.
And I told them that any Mastodon admin can do whatever they want to their Mastodon instance and that I don't understand why there is even a separation of micro and macro blogging at all? And I still can't understand it!
I mean who cares how long your post is? If it's not interesting for people, they will scroll along, so don't worry and even on limited instances there are people doing like 10 posts at once to communicate what they want to write. Why? Why isn't 1 post enough? Why is it such a problem for some people if a limitation for communication got removed? If people want, they can still shorten their texts to 500 chars, but why force them?
I really can't understand it! It's not like we are living in the 90s where limitations were real, because technology wasn't able to take more.
For example: SMS. You have space for 160 signs, because of the 7-bit limitation. If you use unicode, there are only 70 signs. After a while special software was created, which split text to several SMS without bothering the user, because the people wanted to write longer texts.
In the year 2006 Twitter was founded and until the year 2017 only 140 signs were allowed. Later only 280 were allowed.
If you look for Mastodon on your search engine of choice (yeah, maybe #ecosia or #duckduckgo or #SearXNG ), you can read on some websites it is the better twitter, because it supports 500 signs (one of the reasons), which is almost twice as much as Twitter allowed.
But why the limitation at all? We live in the 2020s! People upload pictures which need more space than a phone had in the 90s or than a 1.4" floppy disk had. Smartphones are more powerful than the #notebook I use right now to write this text. A whole film studio fits in a pocket, AI is creating beautiful paintings, music and can even write whole books and a lot of humans will lose their jobs, but people get triggered if we break a 500 char limit? Of all technical advances, why? Why being triggered if a limitation was (almost) removed?
If we really need a limitation, we should put it where it is useful, like limiting the traffic, because people watch a lot of videos on #youtube or #netflix in 4k (or even more pixels) or endless clips on #tiktok for hours. The #internet is producing 39.9 billion tons of #co2emissions every year (https://www.webfx.com/blog/marketing/carbon-footprint-internet/) and those numbers are rising, because people are more and more addicted to entertaining media and use more time to keep their online life/online avatar shiny and healthy, like a living being, instead of looking at their health in real life.
Instead of going for a walk in a forest (without a phone), they go outside for a few minutes, take a picture of a tree and post it with the text "I love nature!", waiting for responses of dozens of strangers. And it can't be possible I am the only one seeing a #paradox there.
A limitation of traffic could help, because people could still consume their favorite series or movies or influencers, but if they do it for hours, their devices go offline and people are forced to do stuff in real life, like reading a book #tbr , doing #sports, meet people/being #social, #knitting or all the other stuff they wanted to do for a long time.
And the good news is, that we are so technologically advanced, that we can still allow transferring needed communication, like emails or phone calls. Wouldn't this be a more useful limitation?
I have a theory why breaking the character limit is a problem: Nowadays people are addicted to "bad" dopamine. They need dopamine boosts and they need it fast and frequently. Long texts aren't good for it, because a picture with a short description is better and the picture is the most important part. If you have something cute, like kittens on it, you feel better, because you got a dopamine boost. But it doesn't last long. Only a few seconds! You feel bad after a short time and you have to scroll even more to find something what gives you the next boost and the next. After a while your brain is conditioned to a high amount of dopamine that it gets harder to feel lucky. It's like alcohol, you need more and more to get drunk, until you become an #alcoholic and deny an #addiction
Isn't that sad that this could be an explanation of why there is a char limitation on a few social media platforms, even if the word "social" is in it? Shouldn't social imply a communication without obstacles?
I can only recommend to consume less entertaining media and stick to an interesting topic for a while and with long texts going deep down and don't play the slot machine to hope to win something (pulling the lever down = update the timeline). You #gamble with your #sparetime and #lifetime if you do #doomscrolling
Another theory which strengthens the one before is, that big companies want you do stay longer on their platforms. It's a business model, because if you stay longer, you consume more ads, which their customers paid for and they get more data they can sell to anybody (and yes, you are the product and not the customer). To keep you on a platform, the dopamine lever must be high and even if it can be unhealthy or dangerous to keep the dopamine level high, companies don't care about it. As long as you feel good or even better, as long as you can only feel good while scrolling on social media, companies will make a lot of profit with short posts and pictures people can scroll throw without going deep into a topic or having even the chance to leave the platform to check facts or other stuff, because they will forget what they have seen seconds before. Or can you tell me what the last 3 posts were you have seen on #instagram #tiktok or #facebook or any other #socialmedia platform?
The #fediverse is not commercial and the char limitation was already broken the day the mastodon developers decided to limit it to 500 chars. After I've seen people being triggered by breaking the 500 chars limit I think people were triggered by Mastodon, too, because "Why would you allow almost twice as much chars than Twitter?" or similar weird questions might be asked the day it was published.
And for the people who got triggered even more telling me I must use another fediverse tool for it, my question is again: Why? I looked at or even tried #pleroma #friendica #misskey #calckey #hubzilla #lemmy #peertube #writefreely #bookwyrm and none of them are good for my needs. Either they are bloaty, have too many features, don't have the features I need or do completely different stuff.
What I want:
- An easy and intuitive UI (platforms like hubzilla feel like websites from the 90s. Try it if you don't believe me. You will not find anything!)
- A platform, which doesn't eat up a lot of resources, it should be #sustainable (ok, Mastodon isn't perfect, but better than others) #greenit
- Don't provide any possible feature (stick to #minimalism )
- Content focused (you can follow hashtags on Mastodon like #vegan or #crochet which is just awesome)
- Filter out stuff you don't want to see (Mastodon can filter hashtags, like #foodporn , too)
- Easily communicate with people (a popular fediverse tool like Mastodon is perfect for this) [But I still can't understand why I can find my own replies in the time line on the web version of Mastodon?]
- Let people from other bubbles start discussions about the stuff you show them from your bubble. Only because someone is interested in something, but doesn't know it, doesn't mean it's hate
- Let people write criticism (this isn't hate, too)
- Long posts and deep conversations (oh no, we have to change a single property on a Mastodon instance and we will trigger people with it)
If there is something, which fits to the list and is better than Mastodon, then let me know, please. I am curious and I am open to try new stuff!
And in the end we shouldn't force people to stick to what ever people think should be "normal". If someone wants to change something on his own Mastodon instance, then let him do it. It's like someone is putting a trailer on his own property and a neighbor is like "That's not what properties are for! We put houses on it! You have to do it, too!". Sounds ridiculous right?
Maybe you asked yourself, why do I write such a long text? Counter question: Do you think all of this information would fit in a 500 char field? No, I do it, because the topic is much bigger than anyone could explain it within a few words. A 500 characters limitation is changing the way we are living, the way we are communicating, the way our synapses grow and the way our brains evolve. It has an impact on our future and on the society.
But maybe I just wanted to set a new #worldrecord on writing most characters on a micro blogging platform with a readable and interesting text. Who knows? 😁
Naahhh... to be honest! I wanted to show that every single thing could have a huge impact and that there is always more than a few words could describe. People just have to be open for the input and don't scroll along if they didn't got a "bad" dopamine boost for a few seconds. And the very first time on Mastodon, I feel like I have said everything I wanted to say.
I wish you a beautiful day 🙂
P.S.: There are 193 chars left, even with the huge hashtag list in the end. It is possible to beat my world record on this Mastodon instance. 😜

Going to set a reading goal for June in my reading notebook. I'm thinking maybe 5-10 books?
Kind of a lot probably, but might as well aim for the stars lol 😆

Schools bought millions of Chromebooks in 2020 — and three years later, they’re starting to break
The US Public Interest Research Group #Education Fund has found that cheap #Chromebooks, due to their short lifespans and lack of repairability, are both less sustainable and more expensive for #schools than pricier devices might be.

#Python people! what's the best way to share an #interactive #notebook with people online? I have come across mercury https://runmercury.com/tutorials/website-python-jupyter-notebook/ but happy to hear about other people's experiences. I wasn't looking to run a full binder run, just a simple dashboard.
So I got a #Supernote e-ink notebook this week and I’m really enjoying it so far. I love gadgets with reflective screens, and I never managed to keep track of paper, but it’s really nice to have the ability to look back on what I was thinking during meetings. I’m going to try using it as a daily planner to try and get a bit more organised. Any tips or resources are appreciated since I’ve not had a planner since secondary school!
#TravelersNotebook #train passport sized #notebook. Plan on using it this year for travel and adventures about town.
my phone is still broken so no camera, but at the moment I'm making weird bendy rag dolls with aluminum wire, painter's tape, recycled fabric, embroidery thread, and posing them in asanas all over the living room. trying to figure out what to do with them.
they are fun to make and I can't figure out if I'm done.
Instead of a picture of that, here's a monster I water-penciled into one of my little notebooks about a year ago.
