Laws about bank robbery also make bank robbery unworkable as a legal business.

Announcing: https://justaqrcode.com.

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!

Had a great final hypnotherapy session with a client this evening. Taught him self-hypnosis, and the possibilities blew his mind.

Your local council can ban it. No-one should be treated like a suspect just because of who they are or where they live.

Tell your councillor: BAN predictive policing tech in our community.

Write to your local council: Ban ‘Crime-Predicting’ Police Tech

Police are using so-called “crime-predicting” technology to surveil and monitor us - without our consent! Police use these technologies to target people and neighbourhoods BEFORE crimes take place. These technologies are built on existing, flawed, police data, so communities who have historically been over policed are more likely to be identified as at ‘risk’ of future criminal behaviour. Police already have extensive powers which they use to target, harass and stop and search innocent people.

If any Mastodon instances are having trouble with their costs growing out of control, ping me and see if I can help lower your bill.

Apparently a recently closed instance was paying $300/month for hosting which is insane to read considering how small of an instance it was. When we had 40k monthly users I was paying about $120/month so an instance with less than 400 total users (not MAU) should be super cheap to run even with a few TB of storage and bandwidth.

It hurts my heart to read instances closing down over costs and finding out they’re paying more than instances 10x their size. 😢

Attached: 1 image Another Mastodon server gone. Airwaves.Social shut down & off the air for good. Reason: Costs! https://vmst.io/@User47/114508192446827453 Running a Mastodon server isn’t free & it’s often thankless. But it is essential. If you value independent, community-run spaces, now’s the time to chip in to your favorite server/instances Your server admins can’t keep the lights on with vibes alone.

This is a video from PBS about the northern lights, and how apparently for centuries, people have reported being able to hear the lights.

Scientists dismissed this as a mistake at best and an auditory hallucination at worst, but now there's actually a good theory for why some people might be able to hear a sound while the lights are happening. It's a fascinating eight minutes of both #science and #folklore.

I like it when players get to do more diverse stuff when they reach higher levels, but hate how much I have to think about as a DM. 😩

Yes, it’s juvenile, but it still makes me laugh.

This is really important advice, especially for anyone dealing with mental health struggles or a chronic illness.
