So, we bought mealworms (dried) for the chickens: they're not interested. Luckely the wild birds are.

We got some 'toys', things they could peck at: not interested.

The best thing is cut grass or other greens they can eat. The rest is meh.

@jan Things that get chickens exited: greens that are covered in insects and such, disturbing a bit of ground in their coop with a spade (carefully, with overexited chickens al around) and leftover spaghetti

    @caiocgo @claus it is possible to follow several languages and not use translate. Suffices to know many languages 😁
    I don't use translate for Dutch, French, English, German.
    Some Italian, Spanish, Luxemburgish i'll understand without help. But beyond that I am glad translate exists.

    Did you know that one in wants to know if you - actually - like ?

    Robert Nozick, a , wanted you to imagine that you are offered a sophisticated machine which can perfectly simulate all the things you deem most pleasurable.

    He asks you now: would you prefer this to real life?

    Nozick assumes you don't & uses that as a justification against () hedonists.

    He never tested his .

    I think pleasure wouldn't stay interesting for long.

    It cannot replace friendship and togetherness, it certainly cannot replace adventure.
    It seems like a lonely existence.

    Meta’s new “consent” wall is scam that undermines the European Court of Justice’s ruling of July.
    This deceptive design pushes the user to “consent” to unrestricted use of their data. That includes intimate data that Meta obtains by tracking the user on other websites and apps.

    Trump's lawyers are as illiterate as he is.

    Nah, they were just stalling again.

    Via Kyle Cheney:

    Judge (who hopefully remembered to set her clock back) just resolved dumbest dispute yet in DC trial, permitting prosecutors to file a 90-pg single response to 2 Trump motions rather than 2 45-page responses.

    Trump’s lawyers argued that sgl oversized brief risked confusing the 2 distinct motions & wd complicate the matter in potential appeal

    REMINDER: ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion, and other large trained neural models are NOT "artificial intelligence", they're just stochastic parrots, remixing and regurgitating what they've been fed. There's no theory-of-mind involved, so no understanding: there's no "there" there. (A real live parrot exhibits more intelligence than this.)

    Don't call it AI; call it parrot-tech. That way you'll have a better perspective on what it can (and can't) do.

    Gun control is a contentious issue in the United States. Its origins are complex, tied to a history of racial tension, political power dynamics, & competing interpretations of the Second Amendment. One significant chapter in this history is the emergence of the Black Panther Party and their role in the gun control debate.

    How "old" is the oldest file you have* in your backups?

    *a file that you've created and kept, even if the current copy you have in your current computer is newer than the original. Ex: downloading today a file from the internet that was made in the 90s doesn't count, but a file you downloaded in the 90s and kept with you throughout does.

    @kzimmermann My oldest backups are from the early 90s, graphical design schoolwork. Even the fonts were not from the internet in those days. 💾

    There is no such thing as ethnic war. There is no such thing as religious war.

    This isn’t hyperbole for its own sake; these things simply do not exist as we popularly imagine them to. “Ethnicities” and “religions” do not mobilize against each other.

    @HeavenlyPossum War is when those that have power want other things than peace bad enough.

    On that Guardian piece, I see the “I went to a non-uniform school and children were bullied for what they wore” mob rocked up. I went to a secondary with a uniform policy. Guess what? Bullying was rife there too. And still about garments and accessories. Your coat. The shoes you wore. The trainers you had in PE. The bag you had, how tatty it was and whether it had a brand. It’s a bullying culture problem, not a uniform/non-uniform one.

    Things improved for me when a tv show highlighted how prohibitively ridiculously expensive this jacket was that 50% wore (in the official dark blue). We formed an anti snob aliance, and suddenly we belonged somewhere.

    The conduct and lack of tolerance, inclusion, and support of others in the Drupal community that an appointed DA Board Member, expressed on LinkedIn today is appalling.

    I ask that his membership on the board be immediately reevaluated and revoked.

    Hatred of any form is unacceptable.

    I have the privilege of being able to contribute to without paid sponsorship. My psychological safety is important, and I ask the our leadership provides that.

    @Tattooed_mummy @Hellybootwader @Melinda @gardening I am participating in a citizen science project, and what is absolutely clear already, is that seeds on grass are a waste of money.

    Patch A: no seeds, but all three patches are cut 2 times per year and cuttings removed 3 days later.

    Patch B: seeds on grass

    Patch C: seeds on bare soil. Only on this plot have the seeds (those that like our poor chalky soil) taken hold.

    So hire a mole and rake in seeds, if removing grass it is too much work.

    Patch of grass C: lots of different flowers in the grass
    Patch of grass B: some flowers in the grass, but none from the seed-mix

    From the book "Belgian solutions"

    Deglassco, (edited ) to history

    In 1920, Mamie Smith became the FIRST Black American to record a Blues song. "Crazy Blues” ushered in a new era of "race records.” Previously, white singers copied Black vocal styles in blues recordings, while Black entertainers like Ma Rainey, Ethel Waters, & Bessie Smith were confined to the "Chitlin Circuit." Mamie Smith’s success paved the way for black blues & jazz musicians to thrive.

    This picture from the year I was born in the local (Dendermonde in Flanders) -tonk jazzclub.
    Two uncles played in the local band "The Jeggpap", they invited many musicians over. especially liked to come and stay with my grandparents.
