I have just seen an adult professional proudly posting a #shelfie containing maybe sixty CDs, books and musicassettes, because they have just installed a set of shelves, seemingly for the first time ever, to display about half of their collection of physical media. 😶

#Climate #warming is not a recent phenomenon (of a few years or decades); it has had detectable impacts on plants (and animals) for at least 134 years!

New Kitten release

• Fixes #236¹: The data preview pages in Kitten’s settings how handle circular references in the deserialised data (which may contain your custom classes if that’s what you were persisting in the database).

kitten.small-web.org

:kitten:💕

PS. Those pages are very rudimentary at the moment and are good for getting quick visual overview of the data you’re persisting. For a fully interactive view, use Kitten’s interactive shell (REPL)² to explore your data until I’ve had a chance to implement a more comprehensive visual interface.

PPS. You persist data in Kitten using the built-in JavaScript Database (JSDB)³ (Or, of course, you can install and use any other database.)

@f @ai6yr @briankrebs I think it's less of a "#political" question but an act of #SelfDefense and #MutualDefense at this point.

Re: #TechIlliterates that are unwilling to learn, act like a "#BenevolentDictator" and enshure they can't harm themselves in the sense that they don't get #sudo or other administrative privilegues and can't do any #persistent #changes.

  • And if that means they get forced to use #Tails then that's a "necessary evil"...

After all, societies almost everywhere ban people from driving motor vehicles faster than 6 km/h by people who actively refuse to even take basic exams and classes for a #DrivingLicense.

  • And I'm convinced one can do more damage as #TechIlliterate with a #PC than a single-cylinger two-stroke engine driven motorcycle...

My life was forever changed by March 2020, what about yours?

#PandemicImpact

"For a while, things were weird.

For many, the start of #thePandemic was like going through the looking glass. We had to learn to live a little differently — to do things for ourselves, and sometimes just to fill the time.

It was a time of contradictions, and of #trends that seemed to signal bigger and more permanent #changes than actually happened."
