   ♲ @clacke@libranet.de: One of the best things about the current influx of people is you get to see people offer "pro tip about Twitter manners" to the guy who was here before anyone else 14 years ago.

   My little Thursday night handicraft session to replace the crappy stretch bands (in black) in my textile masks with the vastly superior (!) stretch strings from single-use paper masks.

     @Mans R Yes, any public spaces. At work it's a recommendation. Schools require RAT (Rapid Antigen Test), work says to do RAT if having adjacent symptoms.

     @Jason Self Yeah, the old bands were stretching longer and longer and feeling more and more like rubber bands against my skin. Will see how long these strings last. They aren't made to last, but they feel durable enough, and they're soft and round.

     Two and a half years later, those straps from the single-use masks are still doing good work, but the pair of scissors I cut them with suffered from Hong Kong climate, rusted and fell apart.

   As a neurotypical in this aspect I find it absolutely wonderful that someone would consider the consent of a sticker.

     Die Kiste dürfte nicht breiter, tiefer oder höher sein, ansonsten würde die Tasche nicht mehr schließen. Das finde ich schon recht effizient. Für größere Sachen habe ich einen Anhänger, der einen schön niedrigen Schwerpunkt und recht große Laufräder hat. Von den Maßen her könnte wohl eine Düsseldorfer drauf passen.

     Das ist ein Velo Lab Kàro. Das Teil ist großartig. Der Motor (Neodrives) ist sehr schubstark, das gesamte Gerät ist vergleichsweise leicht und man sitzt eher sportlich. Demzufolge schaffe ich damit im Sprint auch kurzzeitig Geschwindigkeiten um die 35 km/h. Ich wasche meine Räder nie, muss ich zugeben 😀 (Aber Service wird natürlich regelmäßig gemacht)

     Die Konstruktion ist erstaunlich robust. Ich habe keinerlei Probleme mit Schwergängigkeit. Die Seilzüge müssen nur alle paar Monate nachgestellt werden.

   If you live in the US, please please PLEASE contact your reps to oppose KOSA. https://www.stopkosa.com/

   Seriously. Contact your reps. Contact your reps!!! Don't wait for everyone else to do it. This hurts queer youth, but also, it's likely to have a big impact on decentralized social media at large. It's likely to hurt the communities you have here.

   Don't sit by. Please take action!

   "He was in that too?!"

   I thought I had a good grip om Alan Tudyk's roles, but there are several here I didn't know about.

   I knew he is Clayface on Harley Quinn, but the Joker too?! Does a fine job of it too. I didn't know he did three voices on Ice Age.

   This is not just a simple quiz, that's just the scaffolding and we're here for the tangents. Tudyk is all about the tangents, there is never an interview with him that stays on the rails.

   "I was the class clown"

   You don't say?

   Variety: "Does Alan Tudyk Know Lines From His Most Famous Movies & TV Shows?"

   (yes, he can place all of them (eventually) except one)

   Facebook has an AI that flags posts when they contain generative AI content.

   Obviously it has false positives and cannot be turned off.

   Oh, the Solstice was yesterday already!

   Happy Solstice to those who celebrate!

   And happy Swedish Midsummer's Eve tonight to those who celebrate!

   Not planning anything in particular here. We do have home-made meatballs, but not because of Midsummer.

     I'll look up when the Consulate has their combined Midsummer / National Day celebration. We probably missed it.

    I've mainly been growing lettuces in my two hugel mounds with no plan for a succession crop. On Saturday, on a whim, I direct sowed about 40-50 each of dried black and pinto beans I bought at the grocery store. I didn't really know what to expect, but they've sprouted shockingly fast. So far 5 days on I count 18 black bean sprouts and 1 pinto.

    I have no idea if these are bush or climbing varieties, but I would guess than large scale growers that supply supermarkets wouldn't grow pole beans. Right?

    Ulrika Bodén is one of my favorite singers ever, and to the extent of what I know about her, one of my favorite people too. Her singing has incredible precision, and she has spent her career spreading songs from northern Sweden, in northern Swedish singing traditions and northern Swedish dialects, to a wider audience. Your average Swede wouldn't know about the "kulning" singing technique if not for Bodén and others like her reinvigorating traditions.

    In this half-hour episode, she talks about growing up, discovering her own local dialect, and stories of other people who were denied their dialect, reconnected with it and flourished as artists and poets. Also featured are Liliana Zavala, percussionist from Córdoba, Argentina; Rostam Mirlashari, Balochi singer from Zahedan, Sistan and Baluchestan province, Iran; and Swedish dancer Ulrika Larsen, who specializes in East Indian dance.

    The conversation is in Swedish, but there are English subtitles, and the majority of the time is musical performances.

      It seems I am entering that mood where I need to fill my head with folk and rock folk music from bands like Ranarim (Bodén+2), Hedningarna, Garmarna, Väsen ... if you know other cool nordic folk-inspired bands, let me know!

      @Jez 📚 Thanks! I'm aware of Hoven Droven, they even collaborated with Bidén once!

      The other names are all new to me, will check them out!

    Today I Learned that openstreemap.org, which I've been increasingly using to avoid Google Maps with varying degrees of success, it just is a tech demo of what can be done with the underlying open data. 🤯

    It still is an impressive achievement for a demo.
    
    

    ♲ @djh@chaos.social: But wait! Why don't we first get the OpenStreetMap database through quality control and then re-render the map?

    And here is where user expectations and reality are clashing.

    openstreetmap.org

    is not meant as a user-friendly map or app or anything regular users are supposed to use.

    It's simply a demo of what the OpenStreetMap data could produce but not meant for end users.

    Turns out that's not what most users expect.

      @Daniel I knew the OSM data was meant to be used by other apps, but I thought openstreetmap.org was the project’s flagship, not a really well made demo.

    That's actually one character more, two if I don't count the space. More concise? Just more pretentious. We didn't "investigate", we just browsed a few lines of logs.
