Does this integrate with the Fediverse? The social network aspect of Strava is the primary reason I use it. Garmin Connect has better analysis tools (than Strava to be clear, not Endurain, I've not tried it)

It’s a logical fallacy called “whataboutism”.

I use my DSLR on a tripod with a film holder and a light table. It seems to give much better results than an Epson.

I’m not sure if Apple has good enough sensors but a Garmin watch can do this. It has built in breathing exercises and you can even have it prompt you to do one if it detects your breathing is not normal.

I have pretty severe anxiety at this time and these breathing practices have really helped me get out of a bad situation without medication: 1) Box breathing 2) Yoganidra (even if I’m not trying to fall asleep)

Well, I think there is some level of regulation that should be in place. For instance, if I live on a small property next to another small property, it would have a pretty negative impact on me if my neighbor decided they wanted to leave th

well, dwm includes them[0] as a patch so i’m guessing even the most hardcore of folks occasionally want them. these days with high resolution monitors it can be nice to have a background and some gaps / transparency. [0] https:/&

I don’t 100% follow, I did a bit of googling and I don’t exactly grasp the problem. Could you point me in the right direction?

How can I find out if one of my photos was used against its license? And then I suppose I can sue them, right?

That's what I was trying to say but I can see how my comment was ambiguous.

(not a lawyer) I wonder if wire-fraud applies because IIRC the DMCA claimant gets the video's ad revenue. You have an aspect of obtaining money, it happens over the wire, so...maybe?

I like to use noise cancelling headphones over earplugs. It seems to work fairly well for me.

The devices aren’t even particularly expensive any more, about $200 iirc. A PLB usually also has a radio transmitter on it that allows rescuers to direction-find your location.

Sure. I’ll quote from Wikipedia and modify it. “In combinatorial mathematics, the ménage problem or problème des ménages asks for the number of different ways in which it is possible to seat a set of couples, labeled “A_n” and “B_n” accordi

OK, I’m not going for cheap outrage points. I’ve read the Wikipedia article. I am honestly curious if there is a reason we still present the problem this way, or if we could just change it up a bit in its presentation.

DAO hack? Ah, the incident where someone read the contract carefully and got completely screwed. It's bizarre to me that people wrote a contract that says one can take the money in certain circumstances, but then completely refused to

Yeah, I wouldn't advocate a 1 strike policy. Fines should escalate with repeated violations. The fines should be tied to revenue and after some violations they should reach the point where the business cannot continue.
