Pandemic still feels like just a couple years ago.

…covid is still circulating. the pandemic never ended. people just stopped giving a shit about each other

Anybody here actively working in or has contributed to (in any capacity) conservation (be it flora or fauna)?

You know, as interesting as that sounds, I wouldn't at all know where to begin with something like that. Do you have a suggestion?

replied to:

I suggest looking around your area first, perhaps there are conservation groups already. Then, select among them which one focuses on native species that are most impactful to your place. 😁

Hello loggers

Haiiii

holaaa

Today visiting Zaragoza with an aunt and my mom, I hope to be this willing and capable of moving around for leisure when I'm in my 60s too

replied to:

That will come with continued moving and activity throughout your life.

replied to:

Being in your 60s is not that old. As long as keep up with movement over the years you should be fine.

Which part of the brain would you remove?

replied to:

It seems like removing some of the connections between the anterior and frontal cortices could have positive effects.

I think you're perfect as you are :)

Been working on an old mastodon hosting project I tried to start a few years ago, with a focus on privacy. This is the first big project I've tried to come back to with the help of coding agents and find it invigorating, and gives me the confidence to actually finish the project. Who knows if it will ever make a dollar, but it sure is fun to watch my ideas come to life.

Last weeks post about "if you're not using an LLM router, how do you know wtf is going on" inspired me to spin up a couple of OSS options this week and wow were they right.

Well, I know conceptually what is passed between my client/harness and the model provider, but to actually see it is mind expanding.

I'm so fed up with the series of tabloid articles claiming Koji was a stand-in actor in koitoki. the 'insider' seems to be part of the staff since they had access to details like the location of the wrap-up party. Idc who they are and how true their information is, the intention is obviously malicious. it's just disappointing that a person like that is blending in with the people my oshi works with, viewing him as nothing more than a subject to sell to trash tabloids.

continued:

the fact that these articles completely contradict official content is reason enough to ignore them. for instance, the article claimed Koji wasn't as cheerful as usual, yet the crank-in footage with Mone-chan was filled with laughter, and she even explicitly called him the mood maker of the set. they also claimed he joined filming late, contradicting the fact that they all met at the initial script reading. plus, on sunomanma, Raul even mentioned seeing the original drama proposal early on.

continued:

an official article from the director confirming he sent the offer to Koji after seeing his performance in 'fake mommy' is the only thing we should believe. behind-the-scenes details that aren't officially shared shouldn't be treated as truth. I don't understand why they're so persistent about how Koji got the role. why not direct that focus toward the one prominent cast member with a history of racism and misogyny? that's the only valid reason to feel uncomfortable about this drama.
