04:27 schestowitz-pi; danios doing very well do far
04:27 schestowitz-pi; hoping the one in the hospital can recover
04:27 schestowitz-pi; no food for a while, still swimming around and looking ok
04:27 schestowitz-pi; helping a fish recover is very very difficult
04:27 schestowitz-pi; but not even trying would be cruel
04:27 schestowitz-pi; so far a productive "day" (night)
04:27 schestowitz-pi; it's so much easier when i don't work 36 hours a week in crazy hours that change
04:27 schestowitz-pi; i'm just glad i used that to build up savings
04:27 schestowitz-pi; it gives peace of mind when there's lots of flaming crap out there
04:27 schestowitz-pi; and I keep reading rather horrifying stories about what people put up with at work
04:27 schestowitz-pi; i also _hear_ stories
04:27 schestowitz-pi; no wonder so many walk out or go ons trike
04:27 schestowitz-pi; the latest in nhs is, even junior doctors are walking out
04:27 schestowitz-pi; not good for our health
04:27 schestowitz-pi; we still take vitC+D tablets
04:27 schestowitz-pi; we simply cannot rely on the system atm
04:27 schestowitz-pi; rianne complain about pain in october, i had to escalte this on the phone
04:27 schestowitz-pi; the appointment for physio is end of march (!)
04:27 schestowitz-pi; 6 months!
04:27 schestowitz-pi; "good luck till then...'
04:27 schestowitz-pi; you count the months, not the days
04:29 schestowitz-pi; rianne does not fancy bottom feeders because of their looks and how they keep growing
04:29 schestowitz-pi; my dad's is like 30 ccm long
04:29 schestowitz-pi; and he's literally getting water out of the 80lt tank if moving vigorously

04:35 schestowitz-pi; thanks for the pointer, on my next trip there i might look into it
04:35 schestowitz-pi; that store is vast for a family shop
04:35 schestowitz-pi; they have almost everything
04:35 schestowitz-pi; i find the fish soothing in breaks between sets or before/after bed
04:35 schestowitz-pi; maintenance is about 1-2 hours per month
04:35 schestowitz-pi; a dog's walk can be similar per day, not inc. sanitation
04:35 schestowitz-pi; we keep the home very clean, as long as I can stay out of the way ^_^
04:40 schestowitz-pi; i think i caught a glimpse of pandaloach yesterday
04:40 schestowitz-pi; i don't know which species mixes well with which
04:40 schestowitz-pi; made a mistake before
04:40 schestowitz-pi; and the poor fish was bullied by the danio
04:40 schestowitz-pi; the shop did not warn of possible conflict
04:40 schestowitz-pi; some stores know nothing except the prices and how to catch them in the net
04:40 schestowitz-pi; some can barely do the net thing, either
04:40 schestowitz-pi; i avoid those shops
04:40 schestowitz-pi; we also avoid the nearer sho
04:40 schestowitz-pi; seeing they put some exotic fish in 1ltr prisons
04:40 schestowitz-pi; with no gravel or anything
04:40 schestowitz-pi; like they're a product
04:40 schestowitz-pi; china even put small turtles inside plastic, which caused outrage over a decade ago
04:44 schestowitz-pi; had one a decade or 11 years ago
04:44 schestowitz-pi; he did not survive long and they need another kind of food
04:44 schestowitz-pi; that drops to the bottomn
04:44 schestowitz-pi; not the goldfish type
04:44 schestowitz-pi; the most important thing is not the looks but that they are happy
04:45 schestowitz-pi; what I really don't like is how some stores "merchandise" them
04:53 schestowitz-pi; on a more relevant topic, a while ago I reassured rianne that in many ways gnu/linux already
04:53 schestowitz-pi; secured its dominance
04:53 schestowitz-pi; windows iw "legacy"
04:53 schestowitz-pi; unix/solaris/bsd won't dethrone gnu/linux
04:53 schestowitz-pi; but now the sort of issues were have are different
04:53 schestowitz-pi; in the 90s we wanted things like shockwave and maybe later wmv/wine/activex to 'work'
04:53 schestowitz-pi; maybe even dx
04:53 schestowitz-pi; those days are gone
04:53 schestowitz-pi; so now we can make demands like, no blobs!
04:53 schestowitz-pi; at the same time there are assholes like gulagboy ushering in tpm, drm, other forms of monopolistic lockdown
04:53 schestowitz-pi; there is always money and"market" for lies, not truth
04:53 schestowitz-pi; the same is true for purvers of user-hostile 'tech'
04:53 schestowitz-pi; inc. such 'tech' whose sole/main goal is manipulation and misinformation
04:57 schestowitz-pi; things will get interesting when nation states use the https/tls system for site blocking, not limited to revoked c
04:57 schestowitz-pi; erts
04:59 schestowitz-pi; it will be more effective if or when 90%+ of web users rely on a browser that 1) refuses to connect to http 2) bloc
04:59 schestowitz-pi; ks CAs not in the Sugar Daddy's bag
04:59 schestowitz-pi; itis like submarine patents. if they strike too soon, adoption will be lower. they alarm the ambushed.
05:06 techrights[sec]; They might wait long enough, if for no other reason than bureaucracy
05:08 schestowitz-pi; i think this may suggest our advocacy's focus needs to drift
05:08 schestowitz-pi; high-priority issues change fast in tech
05:08 schestowitz-pi; according to ryan farmer, the other day in gates/microsoft-controlled media baker moaned that
05:08 schestowitz-pi; http is still allowed at all
05:08 schestowitz-pi; the audacity of such companies preaching "security" and "privacy'
05:08 schestowitz-pi; while doing all sorts of things for revenue that contradict their stated mission
05:08 techrights[sec]; The voice of Alphabet has spoken.
05:09 schestowitz-pi; so one positive contrib we made in recent years is
05:09 schestowitz-pi; we got people to talk about the real issue with https, or the angles that need to be challenged
05:09 schestowitz-pi; some idiots in the orbit of gulagboy used straw man insults
05:09 schestowitz-pi; like comparing this to antivaxx
05:12 schestowitz-TR2; Twitter: Security is.... when you pay money to Elon Musk. Or is it? https://www.securityweek.com/twitter-shuts-off-text-based-2fa-for-non-subscribers/
05:12 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Twitter Shuts Off Text-Based 2FA for Non-Subscribers - SecurityWeek
05:13 schestowitz-pi; Also see: security is when Microsoft gets to obstruct me booting my GNU/Linux distro of choice
08:22 schestowitz-pi; ar.al is back
08:22 schestowitz-pi; e2ee work!

09:59 schestowitz-pi; apropos cycling cities, i think we'll take out the bikes end of next month
09:59 schestowitz-pi; this february has felt like some aprils (so far)
09:59 schestowitz-pi; i've read about very cold week ahead for baltic states like latvia

16:51 techrights[sec];
16:51 techrights[sec]; Games, too, are a problem. Games have been redesigned as addictions like social
16:51 techrights[sec]; control media, and in some cases actually are social media themselves.
16:51 techrights[sec]; The addiction only drives "engagement" if it established dissatisfaction or
16:51 techrights[sec]; even outright unhappiness.
16:52 schestowitz-pi; about 7 years ago, when twitter sort of flourished, it felt like a game and I said they had gamified it
16:52 schestowitz-pi; in a number of ways
16:52 schestowitz-pi; looking back, that's what it was
17:47 psydruid; I don't know what games fundamentally are
17:47 psydruid; art? a means to oppress people?
