Ich begreife weiterhin nicht, warum nicht in Praxen (ärztlich, Physiotherapie usw) flächendeckend #Luftfilter eingesetzt werden. Ein gutes Gerät, dass einen 40m2-Raum leise und zuverlässig reinigt, kostet in der Anschaffung 300€, im jährlichen Stromverbrauch bei 8h täglich Dauerbetrieb ca. 70€ + Wechselfilter 1x 50+60€ jährlich. Das würde ich mir doch (erst recht als absetzbare Ausgabe) schon zum Eigenschutz nicht nur vor Corona-Viren da hinstellen. Ich verstehe es einfach nicht. #CleanAir
@grrrr_shark IIUC this means that they are not cached on your instance for some reason (either on purpose, or because something failed to happen).
Happens to me once every so often (2 weeks?), but I haven't seen any correlation with videoful posts. I thought that this is caused by me having 5+ tabs of qoto open that I forgot about and all of them polling for new posts, so I didn't try actually investigating.
@ameliatoami Jak go znaleźliście?
One can also ~easily do something similar to what flatpak would do by invoking bbwrap in a similar fashion. That allows people who want only some of facets of flatpak to get them, without resenting that they have to use the others.
(I don't know whether the same's the case with snap, though.)
@ieure Failed, one that fell out of favor, or both?
A suggestion for the "handling ambiguity" part: some people specify their preferences in their profile description, so looking there might be effective.
... and cause injuries to people launching them and (rarely) bystanders.
What are the environmental problems you refer to? Is is about burning whatever provides the colorful light, or about littering with unburnt remains, or something else?
I knew geckos relied on van der Waals forces to cling to walls, and I assumed most insects and animals with similar abilities did them same.
But no ... ants wet their feet and use capillary adhesion.

@delroth well, then everyone who has an app talk to their backend over TCP (and records that fact) collects that: they know that the user is in a ball of diameter equal to maximum rtt for TCP.
@andrewstroehlein There are so many unused avenues of petty (or grand) vandalism that would also be e.g. visually spectacular or otherwise amusing.
Some of them do it in the most obvious sense (i.e. they have manufacturer-provided private key used to sign statements that mean "this enrollment has been processed by a u2f key produced by the manufacturer").
But fair point, if we define "remote attestation" as a mechanism that prevents the user from substituting parts of the system with self-developed replacements then unless the former is used _or_ the user uses a pre-enrolled u2f key, they can always use a software-emulated u2f key.
@retr0id Would that ban U2F tokens with nonextractable keys?
mild spoilers for Greg Egan's fiction
It seems to me that your fiction used to be more hopeful about outcomes (e.g. Clockwork Rocket, Reasons to be Cheerful, or Bit Players had endings with mostly-universally-hopeful outcomes, esp. in comparison with e.g. Perihelion Summer, Solidity, or Light Up The Clouds). However, when I tried to see whether my impression is actually correct, I failed to confirm it (by trying to compare set of stories from older and newer compilations).
I wonder whether you think this impression has a basis in reality, and if so, whether this is an intentional change.
@madargon GMail has had something like that for some time, and the suggested responses were sometimes amusing, but never useful for me.
#2797 Actual Progress
Slowly progressing from 'how do protons behave in relativistic collisions?' to 'what the heck are protons even doing when they're just sitting there?'

I think "trusted" plays a similar role for me.
@delroth Is it only longer, or both longer and thicker?
I enjoy things around information theory (and data compression), complexity theory (and cryptography), read hard scifi, currently work on weird ML (we'll see how it goes), am somewhat literal minded and have approximate knowledge of random things. I like when statements have truth values, and when things can be described simply (which is not exactly the same as shortly) and yet have interesting properties.
I live in the largest city of Switzerland (and yet have cow and sheep pastures and a swimmable lake within a few hundred meters of my place :)). I speak Polish, English, German, and can understand simple Swiss German and French.
If in doubt, please err on the side of being direct with me. I very much appreciate when people tell me that I'm being inaccurate. I think that satisfying people's curiosity is the most important thing I could be doing (and usually enjoy doing it). I am normally terse in my writing and would appreciate requests to verbosify.
I appreciate it if my grammar or style is corrected (in any of the languages I use here).
