Problems with firefox 116 and/or cloudflare

Yesterday i upgraded ff to the current version and since today i experienced problems with a bunch of different sites. Either the cloudflare verification sends me into a loop or i get through and the site’s not working correctly. Some others work, though. Disabling add-ons (noscript, ublock) and allowing all cookies didn’t...

Hotchpotch,

Actually i don’t remember all, since i followed links from other sites. Others i found a workaround. The only one i tried to make work and still can’t is suprfit.com.

Hello kbin (and lemmy?), from mastodon?

Hotchpotch,

Hi from Beehaw.

‘What seemed like science fiction is already here’: why it’s important to talk (seriously) about neurorights (english.elpais.com)

The risk, explains Yuste, is that the same tools which – in medicine – can help improve people’s lives, can also end up violating the information stored in the brain. “Although the roadmap is beneficial, these technologies are neutral and can be used for better or worse,” he notes. This isn’t only about securing...

Sharing my Solarpunk Reading List (bookwyrm.social)

I especially enjoy reading examples of how Solarpunk principles have been applied in the real world, or fiction that breaks down my own mental barriers about whether a better world is possible. So, I started this reading list to document my favorites. It’s starting to grow as a community project, so if you want to make a...

Hotchpotch,

Your're welcome :)

btw in the meantime i've seen that plemora can connect, too. Isn't in the docs though.

Hotchpotch,

The doc says currently only Mastodon is supported.

Hotchpotch,

The article is not about single persons who might be trolls or whatever to qualify as a "bad guy". But about megacorporations like Meta. The best way to deal with them is-in my opinion-to not cooperate and defederate them as soon as they start to enter.

Hotchpotch,

I prefer talking to my folks over the phone or in person. Those who only want to communicate via social media are not important enough to me to deal with all that stuff.

Hotchpotch,

Well, i wouldn't be able hold a desktop job. So far i've worked construction and social work (at a outside place). I need a minimum of physical exercise and new-ish input to function and focus. I've heard about people using some kind of treadmill under the desk or pezzi balls to sit on. Music helps too when i have to do paperwork. Currently i use some downtempo electro for that.

What is your favourite book?

Hotchpotch,

By which translator/reteller?

Hotchpotch,

I haven't read it for some years, but i remember it fondly. I was very impressed by it. It got me starting to read Keats btw.

Hotchpotch,

Thanks!

Fixed my washing machine today!

Today i'm actually proud of myself. I'm good with wood, textiles, gardening, trees etc. But metal, machines, electronics don't come natural to me at all. I learned to take care of bicycles or chainsaws because I had to but those scary household machines never. Until today. The machine stopped midway, full of water and clothes....

Hotchpotch,

Never had to deal with a dryer, luckily some things are simpler than they appear to be.

Hotchpotch,

Thank you!

Hotchpotch,

Thank you! Yes, I've got a large load of dopamine from it.

So you mean those finger mincing knive things in the sink? I've seen them only in the movies. Don't know if I'd touch one of those.

I googled for the translation, so i'm not entirely sure it's the right word. It's supposed to be the pump which moves the waste water out.

Hotchpotch,

Thank you!

Hotchpotch,

Thank you! That could very well be a clogged tube.

Hotchpotch,

No on both. I wouldn't mind it though as long as i can turn it off.

Hotchpotch,

I had to look them up too, haha. But thank you anyway.

Hotchpotch,

I'd have guessed it was a larger aperture due to the isolation of the bird (Freistellung). Does this effect come from the long focal length?

Larger apertures aren’t that sharp with this lens, unfortunately.

Even at the center?

I'd love to photograph birds too, but i don't have the patience :) So i keep doing cows and trees and other slow moving stuff. Rocks are cool too.

Hotchpotch,

I ended up subscribing to magazines from kbin today, too. Still a lot to discover. lemmy.dbzer0.com has a lot of interesting stuff as well.

Hotchpotch,

So far i've read only the first and second one and loved them. The german translator chose to use female pronouns as default, making it a very interesting reading experience besides the story and the great worldbuilding. (in german everything is grammatically gendered and the default is usually male) I just had a look at bookwyrm. A story about the Presger envoys looks highly interesting!

Hotchpotch,

Such an immersive article. I'd love to experience this beautiful and fascinating worldview first hand! Thanks for sharing!
