I can't recall exactly who recommended this documentary in my feed, but I just started watching it and wow, it's amazing:

"The Century of the Self"

Today is #InternationalDayofDisabilities and I'd like to show off my hearing aids once again.

Without them I'm a poorly concentrated, tired and grumpy person. With them I can talk and work for hours, I can listen and be in noisy environments without getting exhausted.

Hearing loss is an invisible disability. You can't tell that I'm hearing impaired from looking at me, because my hearing aids are often hidden by my hair or simply hard to spot behind my ears. That also makes it harder to have my needs met. Even with hearing aids I need that people look at me and speak clearly when they're talking to me.

I often feel like I'm an imposter when I call myself disabled, but the alternative is to pretend I have a normal hearing and stop functioning in everyday life. I'm beyond happy and grateful that I live in a country where I get hearing aids for free and where I have rights both as a disabled student and in the workplace.

And here are my tiny, wonderful hearing aids πŸ’ž

The soundtrack for the Annihilation movie is amazing.

Just found out I can send a letter requesting all of my information from police authorities (local and regional). About to send one.

The urge to self-host is knocking on my door again.

Happy Mens day, to all the amazing men in the world and the many wonderful things men have done and accomplished everywhere, thank you, you are all appreciated!

I had not heard this expression until this past week:

"A language is a dialect with an army."

I like the idea of Dissenter (the browser extension) - having a comment section for every page which doesn't depend on the owner of the page and isn't moderated either. Unfortunately the idea was developed by people supporting extremists and got really bad press.

Today is the 33rd birthday of #aaronswartz, he fought to free #knowledge and killed by flawed unjust system that valued money over humanity. Let's remember him, and continue the battle he has started #knowledgefreedom #creativecommons

I missed that there was a vuln in file. There was.

Reminder that the program whose purpose is to identify unknown files is not safe to run on unknown files.

the worst trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people that they are a mental super genius because they can write a shitty python script
