A very short one from me about how to get out of your own way…by asking shorter questions.

Can I restrict package updates from Melpa, so only packages that where installed from Melpa would use it for updates? Currently Melpa overtakes everything due to using dates as versions. Not that it matters much, but I don't like that…

#iPhone15 folks: I thought the new Action button replacing the mute switch had *two* behaviors:
1) Press it to mute/unmute
2) Hold it to perform an assigned action from a handful of options like DND, flashlight, a Shortcut, etc.
But I can only get # 2 to work (haha number two). Am I holding it wrong? Or is there only the one function? #Apple #iPhone #questions

Have you ever joined something that you thought would be really good to join, only to discover that it's far from being really good? In fact, after you joined you realized that it's completely different than you envisioned?
Yeah, well, I'm having one of those moments and I'm really not sure what to do at this point.
Sometimes, it's best to do things yourself.

1. How is this not creating a bias in the hiring process?
2. If the value created for the company is the same and the company can afford to hire in any country => this makes me think the company values the effort differently based on location.
Does it take less effort in Eastern Europe to code than in Western Europe?
Or in the same country, does the effort to code takes different based on the city?

Is reading becoming gamified?
This is in response to platforms like Goodreads, and people using the hashtags Booktok and Bookstagram to share the numbers of books they've read per month / year, thus creating competition. Final poll result will be added to article (if people respond!) Please boost if you can!
Probably the wrong audience for this, but it is the best place to poll!

Question: what does your 'internal reading voice' sound like?
When I read something sufficiently complex that I need to do it slowly, I 'hear' my internal reading voice.
My brain usually borrows the voice of a real person for this; usually someone I had recent interaction with.
Yesterday, I binged a couple of Contrapoints videos. Today I'm learning about proof assistant Coq, *in Natalie's voice*.
"Coq provides a module system to aid in organizing large developments."
Just spoke to someone who doesn't experience this internal reading voice, which surprised me.
Is this (not) a common thing? Do you hear a voice when you read? Whose voice is it?

Fellow poster nerds and fan art aficionados who also do not like framing things: how do you display and store/preserve your posters?
I don’t like frames because, for me, they distract from the art. More importantly, I collect and rotate too much art for them to be feasible.
For a while I dry mounted my posters, but that looks… too low-fi. Plus, it doesn’t seem long lasting.
Any ideas here? #FanArt #questions
Question of the night...
Do you use filters here on Mastodon? If so, what are your top 3 most important things you put filters into place to block?
For me, I block these three things:
Twitter/Birdsite
Wordle
Streaming/Twitch
These are things I have absolutely NO INTEREST in at all, in any way!
Re: shopping for refrigerators. Anyone have strategies they’ve used?
Any stores, probably a chain, that employs people who actually know their appliances, not just a kid who would read the tags like we can?
I’m a little overwhelmed by the sheer mountain of models, product lines, etc. I added a handful of filters at Best Buy and there’s still roughly fourteen kajillion fridges to look at. #appliances #ApplianceShopping #questions

Is there a way to search on Duck Duck Go that eliminates something? For instance, if I want to search on Google for the title of a book but I include "-Amazon" then it won't include results from Amazon. But Duck Duck Go doesn't seem to do this. I did some searches on searching syntax but couldn't find the answer.
This morning my son and I were watching some fire #ants swarming over a dead #worm
So many #questions pop into my head?
- Did the fire ants kill the worm or did they find it dead?
- Are they removing pieces of the worm and taking them back to their ant hill or are they dragging the entire worm to their ant hill?
- Why do the ants often seem at cross-purposes with each other (some dragging, some walking over the worm)?
Quick question to ask:
Should old well-known and classic books be rewritten for modern sensibilities? For example, 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' and 'Matilda' by Roald Dahl have been scrubbed clean of words like 'fat' and 'ugly'. Will be adding the final polling result to an article (if people respond) 😂
For almost a week, I've awoken to a dry mouth and an overall feeling of dehydration.I keep a bottle of water next to my bed, from which I drink before going to sleep (and sometimes in the middle of the night). I find myslf chugging from it when I wake up.
Most nights, I don't drink alcohol but when I do, I usually have only one drink: rarely, two.
Why am I so dried out in the morning?
I wish the #PoetryCommunity was more like the #WritingCommunity because I see writers of stories talk about their characters and plot lines and have discussions but I don’t know how to find that within the poetry community.
I see a lot of #poetry written and shared, which is lovely, and #prompts that poets can #engage with, but I don’t see the #discussions about what people are writing or #questions asking #poets about what they are writing.
Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places or expecting something that doesn’t exist. I get so discouraged from sharing my poetry because there is no engagement with it beyond a like or a rarer boost.
Even when I comment on someone else’s work, there is rarely much of a response.
Where are the people who want to talk about poetry and not just write it or read it?
Any Toki Pona speakers here? Let's suppose I want my character to cast a spell. Let's go with something simple, say, “Flames of Underworld, take the flesh of my foes as an offering!” How would that sound in Toki Pona?
At first I considered trying Lojban as a language of magic for my short stories, but while that works it's kinda a pain to learn. So I'm in search of other possible candidates that sound sufficiently, hm, arcane.
Although if someone speaks Lojban and can translate the (example) spell above, I'd like to hear that too :)

This fundamental interpretive shift is noteworthy and prompts serious #questions regarding the #RFRA's #congruity with the #Constitution.
#ConstitutionalAmendments like the #1stAmendment must not be #altered or #misconstrued through the #enactment of #ordinary #legislation like the #RFRA. Such #alterations must be viewed as #undermining the inherent #authority of the #constitution and its #amendments, potentially creating #legal #discrepancies and #loopholes. (6/8)
Our local calligraphy guild is nearly all very old folks (depressingly so - death announcements come several times a year, some amazing artists are being lost). Their email list is, no joke, just sending a message with all seven gazillion member addresses in the TO: field. Responses are a total mess.
I want to suggest an alternative. Groups.io is my current favorite, but curious if anyone has another favorite online groups/list service?
Every day at this time the chimney swifts get really noisy and start flying in circles. Today they're flying really low.

#makers what’s the dumbest thing you ever made?
For me it’s this skull. I created it by pumping a crap ton of hot glue into an ice cube mould and jamming in a couple of red LEDs. I then painted and weathered the whole thing. I never bothered to wire up the LEDs but I did use their leads as hooks to hang it on my peg board!
#PC hardware problem / #questions.
I have a powered USB3 hub with:
- A wireless mouse
- wireless keyboard
- RGB mat
- An LED engram light from Bungie
- aaand… I don’t think anything else plugged in
Plugged in my #Elgato Wave 3 microphone and #Windows11 complained there aren’t enough gigablurtz to power it; that it had to be plugged directly into the PC.
I thought powered hubs and USB3 were supposed to remove this problem from the hardware equation.
Climatologists must create a smoother interface between physical science and social science
The Yale economist Richard Nordhaus recently won a Nobel Prize for linking climate science with economics, but other aspects of the human system are still totally undone.
We need an anthropology and sociology of climate adaptation.
We don’t really understand what the hell plants do. Plants and plankton have absorbed half of all carbon pollution, but it’s unclear if they’ll keep doing so or how all that extra carbon has changed how they might respond to warming.
Economics, sociology, botany, politics — you can begin to see a new field taking shape here, a kind of climate post-science.
Rooted in climatology’s theories and ideas, it stretches to embrace the breadth of the Earth system.
The climate is everything, after all, and in order to survive an era when human desire has altered the planet’s geology, this new field of study must encompass humanity itself — and all the rest of the Earthly mess.
Nearly a century ago, the philosopher #Alexander #Kojéve concluded it was possible for political philosophy to gain a level of absolute knowledge about the world and, second, that it had done so.
In the wake of the French Revolution, some fusion of socialism or capitalism would win the day, he concluded, meaning that much of the remaining “work to do” in society lay not in large-scale philosophizing about human nature, but in essentially #bureaucratic #questions of economic and social #governance. So he became a technocrat, and helped design the market entity that later became the European Union

Curious what folks are using for highlighting and #annotation? I've been using #Diigo for many years (10? 15?) and occasionally look for alternatives.
I use #Raindrop which offers some of the same functionality, I'm aware of #Hypothesis but appears a bit more limited than I'd like.
I've tried WorldBrain's #Memex in the past but it was never quite where I wanted and now appears to be pivoting.
Ideal solution is, of course, #OpenSource. 😃
What is the #literature of #hope? I mean, who has written about living fully after / during unconscionable turmoil? There is Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning. The most ready source seems to me to be Frankl's peers who also survived the #holocaust. But who are they? And there must be others from all times and places!
Perhaps George MacDonald's Diary of an Old Soul would qualify? A book of daily poems written after the loss of two adult children.
Looking for an iOS app (or maybe Shortcut?) that will let me draft a text and send it to multiple people through Messages (whether iMessage or SMS), but *not* as a group text. So it goes out to each person on a list or group as an individual conversation.
Use case: I’m a point person for a family emergency and I have a *lot* of people to update. I would prefer to avoid a big messy group chat.
Probably a tough #Apple question, but: anyone know of a file storage/organization app that:
- Is on Mac, iPhone, and iPad
- Can store files in an encrypted bundle or folder
- stores that folder in my iCloud storage?

I'm thinkin abt meal prep for the weeks post-surgery when I won't be able to lift my arms up past my chest.
One idea: bulk buying chicken, adding whatever marinade/seasonings I'll want on each portion (maybe fresh or sauteed onions and/or garlic too?) and freezing them raw in bags to thaw later and cook in the oven, getting help from my roommates if needed.
Is this a good plan? I've never frozen meat before
