We need to make it socially acceptable for adults to wear sneakers with flashing lights in.

fox,

@matt Otoh, who needs social acceptance in this case? Just go for it and ignore the haters xD

(They’re just jealous!)

Time to watch: The World's Best Sellers: The fine art of seperating people from their money.

"In this unique film, Dennis Hopper sends Hermann Vaske on a mission around the world to find out about the crossover between creative disciplines, and how this is changing the creative and commercial arts."

how do I purchase a mouse pad that does not reek of chemicals for several months?

fox,

@kaia

A laser mouse perhaps? They do not require a mouse pad.

Why I am not ordering anything from the UK any more:

Sticker: GBP 2,50
Shipping to NL: GBP 3,00

Eh fine, I am happy to support an artist. So the sticker was sent to NL.

Then customs decided to take their share of 21%. So Converted back to euro this is 21% of € 5,43 which is € 1,14.

Are we there yet? Nooo, the postal agency wants their share too for handling all this terrible paperwork and is charging me another € 6 for it.

So, i got me a sticker for € 12,57. Super. So yeah, Thank for this and everyone who voted for it. I'm not ordering anything any more from the UK. :(

fox,

@samueljohnson GB, UK; it's confusing sometimes xD

Is this really a thing? I mean I love to buy books and I suddenly see a revival of old-school smuggling emerge again xD

There seems to be a rumour that the Dutch get really offended if you say Holland instead of The Netherlands. I am not one of them, I'm fine with either names haha. It's also not a political thing, of course.

And thank you for the explanation, this seems easy enough to remember! ❤️

@matt @ghostdancer Heck, that became a pricey sweater! o:

While waiting for a work process to finish, I felt the need to enter "A woolly mammoth, eating a bowl of noodles." in the command prompt of an AI picture generator.

Funny when you bring up Trump, some people right away start with: "yesss but Biden this and Biden that"

Yoo! I'm not talking about Biden "this" or Biden "that". Stop trying to direct the attention away from the real problem

People who do this are part of the problem

fox,

@stux
It's called "whatabout-ism", and it is an easy and convenient attention redirect for mis- and underinformed people.

Indeed. The problem is, though, that robots.txt can and will be ignored.

I've made a not-pretty and wobbly PHP script to give bots the boot. But it does the job. :)

And it is not that I am against having my website indexed, but most, if not all, bots basically DDOS the server, taking up quite a bit of bandwidth.

Don't just write one sentence and if you don't know the English terms plötzlich auf deutsch weiterzumachen. Das ist ein massiver brainfuck and it's impolite to people who don't read both languages :angry_cirno:

fox,

@kaia Ik heb helemaal geen idee what you are talking about, but ich kann mir eine gewisse Verwirrung vorstellen.

Definitely do not go to these websites to get free study books. Also, don't go to https://12ft.io/ to unlock paywalls.

libgen.is, pk1lib.org, ethos.bl.uk, sabaq.pk, sci-hub.se, archive.org, lej4learning.com.pk, pdfdrive.com, unpaywall.org

Avoid them as much as possible, the links go: libgen.is pk1lib.org ethos.bl.uk sabaq.pk sci-hub.se archive.org lej4learning.com.pk pdfdrive.com
You also definitely don't want to be installing the unpaywall.org chrome extension. After all, who needs a super handy tool that allows you, with a click of a button, to access any closed article?
i also HATE this website archive.org, i do not recommend!! Definitely don't use email generators to “borrow” books from there To clarify...because each email is linked to a set number of books, do NOT use guerrillamail.com to generate unlimited emails for unlimited books?

fox, to security

@stonehead Hi! I'm glad you asked because I'm sure there are many more people wondering about the same thing! :)

Yes, there is always a risk when you download something from open sources. However, you really cannot trust official sources as well. A good example is Sony's rootkit scandal. [1][2]

Doing basic internet "hygiene" will prevent you from most viruses, though. Having a decent virus scanner will do wonders [3], and the rest comes down to common sense. Be very careful with executables, keep your software (like PDF readers) up to date, look for settings to turn off scripts and perhaps consider sanitizing your PDFs before opening them. [4][5]

An interesting point on the aforementioned website is the following:

"With budgets getting tighter, we understand the appeal of free antivirus software. While there have been great changes in free subscriptions, the most notable being they now offer real-time malware protection, they are still minimal compared to a full antivirus security suite.

There are some exceptions, but most free antivirus programs don't offer web protections. This means they won't stop malware from downloading if you accidentally click on a malicious link. They will snatch it before it has a chance to infract your computer, but we feel better than a threatening file doesn't get that far into the process."

I hope this helped you on your way, and if not, do let me know! :)

I really, REALLY need to resume digitizing EPs and LPs again and publish them, but I do not have the energy for that currently x.o

It will resume again though, soon.
