  My power has dropped out for a second more than a dozen times in the last few minutes. I heard a siren. I have a fully charged tablet with a book I want to read, so power and light aren't a problem for that. Streaming can wait until another night.

  No, it isn't #Caturday here or anywhere on the planet. Nonetheless I find myself subject to the whims of a cat. I got comfortable on my futon. She got comfortable on my legs. I guess I'll be sleeping here for the rest of the night.

  My son, a grad student, is struggling with the anti-cheating software he has to run in order to take tests online. He contacted their tech support who told him he needed to uninstall McAfee. He has a relatively new laptop running the pre-installed copy of Windows 11 and Windows Defender, not McAfee. If a piece of software is incompatible with that configuration and their tech support misdiagnoses the problem that way, I'm willing to say that it doesn't work on Windows and their tech supp...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@eff/116332137122750741 Most consumers don't want to have to think about the security of the thing they use. Honestly, I can't say that I blame them for that. I don't want to have to think about it either. I do think about my router's security because I know it matters, I need a home network that's a bit more complex that just telling my friends what the WiFi password is. When was the last time you saw a network-enabled device...

  Mi ofte legas Le Monde diplomatque en Esperanto, https://eo.mondediplo.com/. Ĉu iu povas rekomendi aliajn novaĵajn retejojn en Esperanto? #Esperanto

  Ĉi-matene mi vidis ke Natalie Portman havas Erdős-Bacon Nombro de 7. Erdős Nombro estas la distanco inter persono kaj Paul Erdős en publikitaj akademiaj paperoj. Erdős havis nombro de 0. Personoj kiuj estis liaj kun verkistoj havas nombro de 1. Iliaj kunverkistoj havas nombro de 2, se ili ne ankaŭ estas rektaj kunverkistoj de Erdős, ktp. Bacon Numero simile estas la distanco inter persono kaj Kevin Bacon. Ĝi estas mezurita per aperoj en filmoj kune. Ili estas ekzemploj de la ideo de sociaj gra...

  I'm going to share a gentle reminder because I had a big scare yesterday. It's about backups. I'll rewind a bit. I currently make backups to external USB hard drives. It's not a perfect plan because it's slow, but other than that, it should be a good plan. However, my backup plan has two flaws. First, it isn't automatic. I have backups from whenever I chose to make them. Second, I hadn't made any recently because I had been meaning to diagnose what caused them to fai...

  After review, the ruling on the field stands. The snow is offsides. 5 day penalty. Replay first week of spring.

  One of the great mysteries of life. Why do socks and underwear come in resealable bags that no one ever reseals, but breakfast cereal and many snacks don't?

  Feliĉan #KatSabaton. Mi nek povas nek rajtas ellitiĝi dum Amber kuŝas sur mia kruro. Happy #Caturday. I neither can nor am allowed to get out of bed while Amber is lying on my leg.

  @VeeRat@zeroes.ca Ah, yes. Use AI to produce the artifact that is itself simultaneously the most visible and measurable result and the least correlated with the actual value being produced. Management by metrics being reduced to its worst. This is one of the likely consequences of students learning to use AI to produce the appearance of learning without the substance. They will learn to measure and value the artifacts rather than the value and bring that into how they measure the value that AI p...

  @Remittancegirl So far they've been easy to spot, and thankfully less common here than elsewhere, at least for me. Being on a server with a specific focus may help.

  So, I finally made my first coffee of the day at nearly 11:00. That's both a good thing and a bad thing. It's good because it means that I was actually in a flow state this morning getting something done. That's far too infrequent. It's a bad thing because slowly sipping coffee is a very good way to make myself sit and think about what I'm doing. #Esperanto Do, mi finfine faris mian unuan kafon por la tago je preskaŭ 11atm. Tio estas kaj bonaĵo kaj malbo...

  @andersono@esperanto.masto.host Plejparte mi skribas per mia propra vortprovizo. Bedaŭrinde tio ne estas sufiĉe por paroli, almenaŭ por mi. Do kompreneble, mi skribas pli flue ol mi parolas.

  Mi diras ĉi tion por memorigi min mem. Mi povas uzis la kradvorton #Esperanto kaj ankaŭ montri la lingvon de miaj afiŝoj. Eble mi devus.

  @PrimozR@social.vivaldi.net @pluralistic@mamot.fr Tio estas valida literumado en la Esperanta alfabeto por la celo de prononco. Sed por kompreni la signifon, ni vere bezonas vorton kiu kaptas la ideon, ne nur la sonon. Mi proponas "alfekiĝado"-n.
