@PhoenixSerenity Great idea!

I love my ability to navigate issues that are complex, contested, and anything but clear-cut. To compromise, and not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

I love my stubbornness, my instinct to keep pushing and prodding, until something gives.

And I love my capacity to do these things for the people I love. To take a view that’s broader than just my own interest, to see things from the other’s point of view, and push towards something better.

What are three things that you really love about yourself?

I'll start.

I love my huge heart & it's immense capacity to care for myself, for people I know, for people I don't know, for the Earth & all it contains/sustains.
I love my childlike spirit, which is full of joy/humor/curiosity/playfulness.
I love how my odd, neurodivergent brain works & how it's helped me to understand the world around me better, even when I don't really fit in with most of societal norms.

Your turn 🙂

People saying "we should debate nazis in the marketplace of ideas rather than punching them" seem to forget that collectively, humanity determined in the marketplace of ideas that the only way you can debate nazis is to punch them.

“Stop trying to fix the user. It’s not the user’s fault if they click on a link and it infects their system. It’s not their fault if they plug in a strange USB drive or ignore a warning message that they can’t understand. It’s not even their fault if they get fooled by a look-alike bank website and lose their money. The problem is that we’ve designed these systems to be so insecure that regular, nontechnical people can’t use them with confidence. We’re using security awareness campaigns to cover up bad system design.”

Hello everyone,

I have had a lovely afternoon and felt like sharing it with you. I took a stroll, a short one as still feeling fragile, to the old oak by the river that I have shown you before. I said to Que Banh then that when you hold it you can feel it is a great soul, a mystical tree. While I was sitting beneath it, a couple in their late 50s/early 60s walk by, and the woman approached the tree and opened her arms against its trunk, just 10m from where I sat on one of it's huge roots. I looked and said, 'You feel it too, huh!' and she smiled, nodding. 'Mystical'

Some time later, when I had left the spot, after I had called my wife and was sitting at a table further down the canal, the couple walked past again. The woman approached me while her partner held back, and she asked, 'Are you local?'. 'Yes, I am'. 'That's a very special place. 'Yes, and that tree is the heart of it. Where are you from?'. 'We are German. Just visiting here for a couple of hours'. 'I'm glad you came'

Then, the real purpose of her coming over to me revealed itself. She reached out and held my forearm in her grasp and told me, 'I wanted to touch you for the same reason I had wanted to hold the tree'

It was.. unusual.. lovely.. and I am glad I have an ego that knows how to handle such moments 😉

Told ya that tree was special

Love to you all. And follow your hearts, even when it seems weird 💕🥰

🤣

@thefathippy Nope, not a glider. A normal small propeller plane.

The plane was more or less vertically underneath the heli, perhaps 50m below. Not sure if its engine was running.

The day turned out a little differently, as #kayaking plans usually do. We did an easier run - a wonderful way to warm up for the bigger challenges ahead.

Great group, and a beautiful stretch of river.

There’s a heli here doing what looks like practice runs, and I just saw it towing a small plane??!

Like a Cessna or something. Is that a normal thing?

@mhoye Super basic, but: CapsLock as an additional Ctrl key

Any Discworld fans here? I suddenly had an image of Death coming to a newly transitioned trans person on Discworld just to collect their deadname.

BE AT EASE. IT IS NOT YET YOUR TIME. I'M ONLY HERE FOR THE NAME.

America is, since 1945, singlehandedly the biggest driver of integration and unity for Europe.

First through liberation and encouragement, now through insults and threats.

Pretty expensive for a sticker https://www.redbubble.com/i/sticker/Phanpy-by-cheeaun/170768876.EJUG5

I am familiar with the logistics, personally would print from local vendors.

"The employee at AI coding assistant Replit who wrote the report, reviewed by Semafor, says he and a colleague scanned 1,645 Lovable-created web apps that were featured on the company’s site. Of those, 170 allowed anyone to access information about the site’s users, including names, email addresses, financial information and secret API keys for AI services that would allow would-be hackers to run up charges billed to Lovable’s customers."

When vibe coding turns into vibe debugging

It's really disheartening how much the internet has taken a step back in accessibility for epileptics. 5 years ago, the setting to turn off autoplay on videos in Firefox worked perfectly. Now, it's situational. 5 years ago, on Chrome, I could install extensions to stop autoplay and stop GIFs from animating. Now, none are supported because it's not "best practices". The internet is so much worse for epileptics now when it had been getting so good. It's so depressing.
