@gsuberland I actually once had a bracelet made out of ferrite beads and wire and now wonder what it’d do electrically when placed around a conductor (not much, probably)
@gsuberland You could probably sell these as allegedly providing health benefits (‘blocks harmful RF’)

I see that @[email protected] has made it to Mastodon. I have suspended it from religion.masto.host, and will suspend any other content scraping bots I become aware of.

Thread readers scrape content without the consent of the creator, move it to a website outside of the creator's control, and sometimes monetise it, as discussed here:

You can’t solve social problems with technology but my god can you make them far far far far worse
As my first order of business as elected chancellor of the Federal Republic Of Germany, I think a new naming system of the states is in order.
@paulrickards I’ve also seen #plotterverse proposed, but that tag doesn’t seem to be as active recently.

Technology is not a net good, or even a neutral force. Technology is a Force Multiplier. It reshapes the world to fit the vision of those who design it, regulate it, and wield it. Oil companies poison our lakes and rivers, slowly boiling our planet. Facebook tracks everything we do online and uses that data to make us miserable. Disney owns an outsized portion of modern folklore. The FCC decides who gets to launch a radio station, and under what circumstances. Television turns reasonable people in to rabid fans of raving monsters, and turns raving monsters in to celebrities, politicians and thought leaders.

It does not have to be this way.

The small things Manifesto

This is a work in progress, a living document.

fun MLCC fact: the crystalline structure of the dielectric ceramic (usually barium titanate) deforms over time, which modifies the material's dielectric constant, causing a capacitance derating effect that follows a roughly log10 curve vs. time in hours.

this effect is essentially innate and continues regardless of most operating parameters, except heat. if you heat the capacitor to the curie point (~150C will do it) the curve resets to t=0.

you can do this as many times as you like.

Nicht vergessen, die Uhren heute umzustellen. Gute Orte sind: Schreibtisch, Schrank, Nachttisch, Regal, Fußboden (insbesondere für Pendeluhren).

Schlechte Orte sind: Bett, Herdplatte, Bürostuhl, Badewanne, Haustiere (insbesondere für Pendeluhren).
