2,750 move goals completed! I got my first Apple Watch on October 28th in 2016. Wolfram Alpha did the math for me, so now I know for sure: I did not miss my move goal even a single day since then.

@sebastianhahn Awesome!

With respect to Nostr, Jack Dorsey's preferred network because it is "censorship resistant". Most of the people I conversed with on the topic were right wing types who think that 4chan/8chan/Nazi Bar problems just magically go away or don't care if they were there. It made it an instant no for me.

is bullish about this launch, as they are probably under pressure from & to prove their worth.

hankg,

@darnell I have moments of reservation when I get on a Boeing plane at this point. I can't imagine trusting my life with them getting me into space. Then again I think people are way too optimistic about the reliability of all manned spacecraft systems we've ever built, yes including the SpaceX capsule. Invariably we get into a sense of complacency until someone dies or nearly dies.

Jack Dorsey proving that all the Silicon Valley techbro billionaires are exactly the same and that our society's tax and regulatory laws should be setup such that billionaires cannot exist. The supposed mistakes are having any kind of moderation and/or safety capabilities in a social network and limiting how entrenched Nazis can get into your platform. Puhleez with the "moar freeze peach" bullshit. He can play Boddhisatva all day but he's just another faux libertarian asshole with a god complex. engadget.com/jack-dorsey-claim…

I had to look at a Twitter message for work reasons yesterday. I did it in a private tab. I still felt like I needed to wash afterwards. However it struck me that I don't think I've actually read anything off of Twitter for over a year and a half at this point. For me, the has largely replaced it.

hankg,

@torgo Once you factor in Bluesky and Threads especially. I've been on the fediverse since 2018. I killed my account the summer after Musk announced he wanted to buy the thing. I loved seeing so many ex-Twitter people showing up here so I could follow them without going to Twitter. I wish more of them stuck around instead of going off to Bluesky or Threads. But I like having the options of seeing their content in an integrated experience on my fediverse network, Friendica.

First run since twisted ankle in November. Some observations:

a) holy shit am I out of shape

b) phone can now just ride in bra strap. awesome!

c) so out of shape

d) boobs are heavy? sports bra very necessary. there is way more bouncing and swinging than i expected.

e) parts of route enclosed by trees triggers The Fear now, which always surprises me

f) jfc i have no stamina any more

g) butt also bouncing, wtf?

h) felt so good to be outside and using my body again

hankg,

@miriamrobern I know what you mean! Early runs out after being off always suck. It gets better pretty quickly even if it takes longer to get back to prior fitness shape. Good luck with the rest of the injury recovery!

hankg,

@miriamrobern @ticho DOMS can cause that for me especially if I went out too hard on the first one.

Just read @pluralistic's latest and now I'm angry all over again about how I can no longer call myself a Realist or a Rationalist because assholes have appropriated those terms to justify their bigotry and greed.

> Ostromizing democracy. https://pluralistic.net/2023/05/04/analytical-democratic-theory/#epistocratic-delusions

FWIW? A true Realist believes in full equality and rights for all without favor – because, realistically, any alternative system might get applied to YOU. It's irrational to think you are special.

hankg,

@jackwilliambell @pluralistic Why do we as a society keep letting them ruin generally used terms so they can do some fun house mirror black is white usage of it and this ruin it?

hankg, to Matrix

♲ @bkoehn@diaspora.koehn.com:> is great, but using it can be a PITA. CLI clients are not ubiquitous, E2EE is complicated and requires local state, and the python client is extremely slow (like 10 seconds to send a message slow). I’ve often wanted a fast, easy way to post a message into a room in a way that’s simple and secure.Enter , a simple CLI tool that can also run as a daemon. You create a user for it to run as, configure it to use that user, and invite that user to whatever rooms you want.

Remotely, you can send a POST request and it will put the data into the room. No fuss, no muss.

So I can run curl --fail -d "hello, matrix" 'https://pokem.koehn.com/<room id>' from any script and it will put the message there automagically, even if the room is E2EE.

Feel free to invite @pokem:koehn.com to your matrix room (on any home server) and you can do the same.

hankg, to fediverse

Once again I love the diversity of networks I can see with Friendica. The last ~50 posts in my main timeline included posts from: Diaspora, PixelFed, Mastodon, SocialHome, Bluesky, and Pleroma. Thank you Friendica and the fediverse.

hankg,

@elmussol Oh yes lots more networks but those weren’t in my feed when I scrolled through right before posting :)

hankg, to running

I did my first heavy leg day in a month, but not as heavy as the last one that I felt fo ra week. I was pretty tight yesterday morning so did an easy run but followed by lots of walking throughout the day. I'm feeling it a lot more today. Time to work out the beef jerky!

hankg,

@inkican That will definitely be incorporated. I'm thinking a light 30 minute Peloton session (all Zone 1) followed by a 15-20 minute Focus Flow for Runners/Riders yoga class followed by foam rolling.

Have friends who have been raving about the intermittent fast where you don't eat before 12 noon and nothing after 8 pm. Both have dropped weight and blood sugar and cholesterol, etc.

Yousa....it's only 8 29 AM and I'm starving. 2nd day, lol. We'll see....at least there's coffee! And I drink mine black.

Going for a walk.

hankg,

@BlueWaver22 I dabble with various eating regimes. I find that my body gets used to any of them after a week or so. The transition can be a bit rough for sure though.

hankg, to running

Whenever I'd see those weird data points with my wrist-based heart rate while running I'd think to myself that it was either a sensor sampling issue or maybe some weird thing with acceleration. I never really studied it though. Turns out it's something called cadence lock. Maybe I'll go back to using a chest strap again for runs.

Dear ...

Anytime that you click on your browser reader mode you are implicitly admitting, and confirming, that and are the right way to read internet pages... 🤭

hankg,

@freezr One of the things I liked when envisioning a Gemini pervasive world was setting a “theme” for everything you read that would match the whatever you liked. The content, text, graphics, and images would just change by what is published. It’s a concept we use regularly today with ebook readers. I think it would be awesome.

hankg,

@rst @arstechnica @TaoBear Cost savings aren't as much as claimed. The whole point of the maneuver is to charge less until you are the only one left in the market and then no one has anywhere else to go. They already pull that shit around skirting environmental regulations and such. It would only be worse in a single vendor environment. Not even the USSR had a sole launch vendor. We never have. We should never no matter how benevolent people think Musk is, all evidence to the contrary.

@JoshuaHolland@mastodon.social avatar

Hard to overstate how irresponsible that Politico piece is. Not only is it substantially inaccurate, but this is the stuff that leads to threats, harassment and violence. It has in the past, so I’m not speaking hypothetically. And yet they chose to publish this bullshit story for clicks.

hankg,

@JoshuaHolland This is all just "Democrats support scary brown people" Republican crap as well. It is zero surprise Politico is peddling that shit.
