I have a use it till it breaks philosophy, but if the thing breaks and I cannot figure out how to fix it myself (or do not think I can do it safely) and have no repair shop to go to, I do have to buy something new. And I am not ready to live so simply I have no smartphone, computer, or WiFi. I do not want to buy more than I need but I am also not interested in anything like "return to monke." Do not need a TV or Alexa, but I use my rice cooker and hot water boiler daily and you can pry those electric conveniences (that save me so much money in the long run for all the times I pick their convenience over eating out or buying hot drinks from a store) out of my cold dead hands.

For what it is worth they did say they read a ton of neuroscience articles, although yes, engineer without a neuroscience background, so take this with a grain of salt. I think it's at least a dude earnestly trying who did try to do his research.

If the world had a population of friendly vampires I wonder how many more people the donor pool would gain…

Thank you for helping with your friend's transport. When I was in college I had to rely on friends who had their own cars with them to get me to the donation center.

Very inspired by r/blooddonors on Reddit. Questions about donations, whether from prospective or current donors, welcome!

I read that the body incident had normal stuff pasted under it, so this might actually be the incident still, since I did not check the contents of that imgur link.

I have seen one get used, and played in a musical theatre pit that called for a theremin player who could also play trumpet. That's the only relevant stuff I have to say. Best wishes with the community!

If I were spamming people to hell and back I'd find some small Twitch streamer and use their face instead of my own, then use some friends' lives as loose inspiration to make an identity. No way in hell would I want consequences for spamming blowing back on me, identifiable via my own face (reverse image search perhaps, or an acquaintance on Lemmy) and information. I'm pretty sure whoever is behind the Nicole spam is not the person in the pictures.

Although I appreciate your goodwill towards people who annoy you, too often I see ill will and I wonder if it is the usual hyperbolic frustration venting and they don't actually want to hurt this person, or if it's a "you actually want to hurt them? I thought you were joking…" situation.

Oh boy. I saw I got a Direct Message from preprintingstem@lemmy.cif.su with an imgur link that was supposed to just display, but luckily instead I just saw ![](https://i.imgur.com/XeQAaBj.png) and no image. Didn't open because wasn't sure if it was NSFL spam, eventually opened and saw the usual Nicole copypasta. I was going to go to the Nicoled community and ask, as well as report spam from an account not called nicole for once, it's locked, so now I'm here. Absolutely not checking that image in case it's a dead body picture and not the usual Nicole.

Took a look at this, very glad I did. It's funny, I highly recommend any onlookers open this page too.

I'm so proud of what I created and know I'll never see it finished. So I figured I'd share it here! I'm particularly proud of how even my stitches are, especially at the end of the project!

Genuinely, clever solution. As someone who wants to wear shawls more often thanks for posting the pattern!

In my very amateur opinion you have nice tensioning, at least better than mine haha.

I tend to go on long hiatuses from my fiber arts hobbies and I'm back on a crocheting and knitting kick

Nice to know I am not the only one who does that.

 

Like, they just showed up in my web browsing. On my feed somewhere, or on the profile of someone I talk to. For things I am specifically interested in. Gives me hope for more small sites owned by hobbyists, because if I can find them for my niche hobbies, not just for something huge like fitness or gaming in general or cooking…

Both have that aesthetic that says "I was made by someone who does not do web dev professionally." I'll be totally honest, I do actually prefer the way modern sites look, even corporate modern sites, over that, but nostalgia bias makes me accept that old-time aesthetic too. I know some posts on this community might have put a name to that, maybe neocities? I know the name and have definitely visited neocities pages, but didn't spend enough time there to really remember its aesthetic.

I might actually considering making a little site for myself then, and hooking up on a webring… I'm not much of a journaler but it could probably overlap with what people do with journals if I post every time I engage in the hobby and don't delete the post (or if I use git so I can see the change history lol).

 

Found this. I have very light DataView use, but figure if I ever want to go deeper I might swap it out with this because DataView is new to me, while SQL is something I already know.

 

From the original Mastodon post

Google are breaking my mittens - Sonofa. Twelve years ago I knitted a pair of “self-replicating mittens” (https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/14046) with a QR code that pointed you to the pattern for the mittens, and I entered them in the Sydney Royal Easter Show. I was pretty proud of my cleverness. In the blog post (https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/11192) where I talked about making the mittens, I said: I wanted my code to be as simple as possible, so I needed to use a URL shortener to mask my intended address. I settled on using Google‘s, reasoning that it was likely to be around the longest. (Though who knows these days, right?) You can guess what’s happened, right? Google URL Shortener links will no longer be available (https://developers.googleblog.com/en/google-url-shortener-links-will-no-longer-be-available/) as of August this year. Bastards are breaking my mittens. Perhaps I’ll have to add some embroidery. https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/56383

I am really not the plugin type, but I might actually try to use this one!

 

Heard it described as somewhat like Obsidian before.

 

I have been meaning to check out Mastodon and never actually fire, not knowing what instance to sign up for…

 

A pretty tutorial in article format. Uses plugins.

Author talks about switching from Goodreads. I also switched from Goodreads, but while we're on the Fediverse I might bring this up: I switched to https://joinbookwyrm.com/, another Fediverse thing.
