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).

@freemo @ClaraListensprechen4

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.

@omgubuntu

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?

@stavvers

A suggestion for the "handling ambiguity" part: some people specify their preferences in their profile description, so looking there might be effective.

@RexxieCat

... 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.

@retr0id

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 

@gregeganSF

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?'

@mttaggart

I think "trusted" plays a similar role for me.

@delroth Is it only longer, or both longer and thicker?
