looking at the footer of https://bookshop.org, which is a mainstream vc funded startup, and I am like what is even going on here?

@liaizon
How do you mean?

You inspired me to dig into it (because I like bookshop.org) and I found this neat quote: "Bookshop’s stockholder agreement forbids a sale to Amazon and its ilk (“any retailer then-presently ranked among the top 10 largest retailers”)" in this article: https://www.wired.com/story/books-bookshop-org-thrives-amazon-world/

Ticked off Mono and Stereo yesterday, today eyeing up The Alchemy Experiment and Serenity Now 😋

I really need a new phone the one I am using is feeling unusably slow now that I have all the apps I want to use on it. I don't buy new electronics (unless oshw) but I would get a used device from someone. Would like to run @calyxos or @GrapheneOS. Anyone have a used Pixel or Mi or Fairphone they would want to sell me?

I've got a spare FP2? Not the speediest these days though

@liaizon Honestly I'd just be happy to see it being used. I keep on telling myself I'll do a project with it but the odds of me actually getting round to it are pretty small 😅
If you'd like it - send me an address on Signal (da5nsy.11) and I'll pop it in the mail 👍

The second most offensive thing about my jury duty orientation is that they're playing the "intro to jury duty in California" video off YouTube.

@foone What... what was the first most offensive thing?

One of the reasons I dislike digital camera-based film scanning rigs: I have access to a Fuji Frontier (and a Noritsu LS-600, as well as a Imacon 848) at my local darkroom. It’s so.. nice

I never want to own or maintain one of these, but I want to keep using them. Auto film advance, and no edits after scanning even for JPGs!

@skinnylatte
I used to be the technician for the film scanners at a university and it was a joy - we had a pair (maybe 3?) of Hasselblad Flextights that were my favourites ♥️

I visited the @vagina_museum today to see their exhibition on and I thoroughly recommend it.

Apparently only 54% of those in the UK have heard of the condition, so I'm gonna be doing a lot of shouting about it.

If you can't get to to see the exhibition in person, you can see some of it here: https://www.vaginamuseum.co.uk/endometriosis

A photo of a museum caption board which reads: Why do we know so little? Endometriosis is under- funded and under-researched. And it all comes down to this: stigma and discrimination. A huge part of this is the gendering of the disease. Diseases more likely in women and people assigned female at birth are less likely to be funded than ones dominated by men and people assigned male at birth - even when they have a similar level of impact on a person's life. The UK has the largest gender health gap in the G20. There is even less research looking at the impacts of endometriosis on people of colour, queer people and gender diverse people.
A photo of an interactive board where people could place stickers to report the answer to the prompt "how painful was your last period". The options are: - Pain? What pain? - Paracetamol sorted me out - I could go about my day but I didn't feel good about it - Had a cry on my way into work - I couldn't get out of bed or go to work - I passed out. I literally thought I was dying. Literally. There are a large number of stickers in each section, but most in "I could go about my day" and "paracetamol sorted me out".
A photo of a museum board which reads: What next? We are still on the search for a non-invasive diagnostic tool, a cause and a cure. And research is happening all over the world to find these answers. As you wait for your diagnosis, the research may change the landscape, This research must be done in collaboration with patients - too long people with endometriosis have been ignored and dismissed. Whose voices are out there that we should be listening to but aren't? Endometriosis Care is a research group based at the Wellcome Centre for Human Genetics, and the Nuffield Department of Women's and Reproductive Health at the University of Oxford. They are working on understanding many of the questions highlighted in this exhibition. The Social Sciences Endometriosis Network is an international network that promotes social, psychology, and humanities research on the condition. It convened in 2023 the world's first academic conference to bring together endometriosis social science and humanities researchers from around the globe alongside researchers, patient advocates, charities and authors. The University of Edinburgh is currently running a clinical trial called ESPriT2. It was found that 90% of patients who underwent surgery for endometriosis reported their pain returning within two years. The trial is trying to determine if surgery is helpful, harmful or of no benefit at all.

I feel like I had a nerdy "coming of age" moment yesterday - I installed on an old laptop.

My parents gave it to me to recycle (because Chrome was no longer updating, and they were worried about security), and asked for advice on what to get as a replacement (mainly just to watch TV in bed), and I'm just gonna give it back to them, now that it's running smoothly again with an up-to-date OS! 😎🤓

This is definitely something I'm keen to do more of, to save folks money, and reduce .

A'ight I'm doing it. I'm just gonna start posting screenshots of things I find on other social media over here, because I never comment over there because that sucks but I feel like I might actually get thoughtful and kind conversation over here

This resonated with me. Wet my eyes. At first I thought it was because it was true. But then I realised that it's bullshit. That's not how logic or risk assessment or the human brain work. The reason it resonated with me, which brings me joy to realise, is that I want to spend more time thinking positively

Is "The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe" worth the money if you've already played the original (...extensively)?
