#Poet with a penchant for melancholy.

I'm into #StarTrek and #scifi, #art and #design, #podcasting, #poetry, #technology, #astronomy, #EUpolitics, and tinkering endlessly with my @blog.

Trans rights are human rights.

Toots are usually in English and Luxembourgish, sometimes in German, French, Italian, or Welsh.

Sorry!

100 Jumps

Hold to charge, release to jump. Land on 100 platforms to win β€” but one miss and it's over. How many attempts will it take you?

It's an argument for Yubikeys (or similar), but not a single one of my banks support physical keys. Heck, even the Luxembourgish one, which used to have a physical key, now uses a mobile app.

I'm lucky that I'm going to be able to ask my spouse for their credit card after work, but if I was on my own, I'd be kinda fucked. I *could* go into a store, but the only ones that physically sell phones around here are Apple (πŸ₯΄) or mobile phone providers, which all just really fuck you over with contracts that I don't want.

I've tried logging into them on my tablet, and I get to various stages of the process depending on the bank, but eventually they either want me to confirm my identity via text message or via the mobile app.

My phone has died, and one problem has become immediately obvious: I cannot order a new phone, because all my debit and credit cards want me to confirm the transaction in the mobile app.

The irony of having an article from John Gruber bemoan how many websites suck when it's 2026 and this is what his website looks like on mobile.

"Amy Orben, a psychologist studying technology panics, identifies the β€˜Sisyphean cycle’: each generation fears new media will corrupt youth; politicians exploit these fears while deflecting from systemic issues like inequality and educational underfunding; research begins too late; and by the time evidence accumulates showing mixed effects dependent on context, a new technology emerges and the cycle restarts."

My sight colour blindness did not help with the reds by the end but quite happy with this result. My JND is apparently 0.0126. https://www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd/?r=BOwgKP_9b_8Z
What's My JND?

Find your Just Noticeable Difference in colour perception. How small a colour difference can you actually see?
