is _nothing_ sacred?

Hi from #mci

On my way to #den for some business around https://amia.org/education-events/amplify-informatics-conference

#health #data #research #informatics #travel

This cascade card wallet is my new #edc .

Does it count as #mayke if I just printed somebody else's design? I guess there is a little #diy aspect: the moving parts need a little convincing when it's fresh off the printer.

me: darn it; I can't log in to this secure file service to get a doc to this tax accountant
me: Is https://scuppernong.net/ too geeky? doesn't hurt to try...
tax acct: yup; I got the doc

bingo!

#grateful to @CryptPad and @bunkcomputer

#TIL pubmed offers ORCID as a relying party for login. yay! #grateful

The driver who I have done business with for decades tells that 75% of his business used to come from KU Med Center, but due to #health #research funding cuts, everything is on hold, especially international recruiting.

I forgot to bring a #mask, but I've gotten them from Made in #KC here at the airport before. No joy. Maybe another shop, suggests the clerk... Or failing that, the airline. No joy and no joy.

American Airlines, do better.

It's not over, as @timbray and Lauren will tell you.

What's the smallest #community that makes sense for a #fediverse domain? Largest?

Too small and you don't have moderation / governance in case some segment of the world should attack.

Too large and you get insufficient shared values / worldview - witness twitter.

The topic also has an impact: you're less likely to get attacked or have internal strife for, say, cat photos than comments on current events.

@ntnsndr I'm curious if you have a take on this.

I hate throwing away plastic.

What's a good way to reuse Rx bottles?

I found all the related files and put them on archive.org.

I kept the "HyperTalk Programming" book all these years.

It still works (mostly) on https://hcsimulator.com/

#grateful for Bill Atkinson and #HyperCard

HyperSchool is a HyperCard application for schools to do scheduling, attendance, and grades.

It includes thousands of lines of #HyperTalk code, plus some
C code to interface to a scantron machine and to do simulated annealing
before the user gets old.

They hijacked the power button!

I tried to turn my #android phone off by holding down the power button and up came "ask Gemini"

The power button is now three menus deep in the settings.

Big day today! Step 3: Practice Test for Mojo and me to #volunteer as a #therapy dog.

Searching my fediverse posts isn't as smooth as I'd like.

I'm happy with email search; that's one of the reasons I have github email me my issue comments. (The other is: I don't completely trust most cloud services. https://www.madmode.com/2021/closet-librarian-approach-cloud-services )

A wish: a tool to periodically email me my fediverse postings.

I think it would be fun to build with cloudflare workers

`guix install ungoogled-chromium` took me 6 minutes.

I often hesitate to use #guix because, IME, it's noticeably slower than #nix .

How often do folks do `guix pull`? It seems to be necessary more often than the #nix equivalent (which I don't even know what it is cuz I never have to do it.)

And the grafts... though I was never satisfied with the #nix #security story https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/13515
