Worth noting with Mastodon - one of the reasons for no cookie consent popup is.. there are no tracking cookies. At all.

Similar with official mobile apps, there's no privacy agreements etc in the app stores as there's no third party tracking.

#neovim is evil. A long time ago I started with vim motions, vim plugin and then neovim. With I went down a rabbit hole I cannot escape. It started with #lua for configuring and little own functions.

IT-Experte zu Datenräumen: Warum beginnen wir ausgerechnet mit Gesundheitsdaten?

Gesundheitsdaten sollen breit nutzbar gemacht werden. Doch Experten warnen: Selbst militärische Organisationen oder Geheimdienste verlieren regelmäßig Daten.

Good morning. Starlink has now launched more than TEN THOUSAND satellites into orbit. Nearly 1400 have already been burned up in the atmosphere so far.

Here's a "lovely" image from my Kuiper Belt discovery program with dozens of satellite streaks in a 3 hour stacked exposure from CFHT. This was from 2022, when there were thousands fewer satellites... This is dumb.

(The small streaks that are similar lengths are actually asteroids!)
