If you haven’t heard them I highly recommend you listen to RDGLDGRN. Ridiculously catchy beats with often time very poignant lyrics. Mixed in with nerd references all over. And to me they have one of the best live shows around!
Can anyone #recommend a good blood pressure monitor that works neatly with #AppleHealth? Ideally no pointless extra accounts or data harvesting. #AskFedi
I'm looking for recent books that give a good overview of the evolution of all languages / language families. Something between a textbook and a large-audience essay.
@eric_normandeau
What about Language Families of the World by John McWhorter (the great courses)?
I have it in audio book, read enthusiastically by the author.
Reading: Wild Girls: How the Outdoors Shaped the Women Who Challenged a Nation – On Screenwriting and Media with Dr. Rosanne Welch
As the semester winds toward the holiday season more time for reading opens up and I love finding new books to read – both fiction and non. My Thanksgiving read this week was Wild Girls: How the Outdoors Shaped the Women Who Challenged a Nation by Harvard professor Tiya Miles.
In this short book, she traces the way playing in the outdoors shaped the lives of several American activist women from Harriet Tubman to Louisa May Alcott to Native American writer Zitkála-ŠáNative/Gertrude Bonnin to Dolores Huerta. It added female names to my list of women to be remembered and reminded to get outside this holiday season and play in the dirt.
Okay, #plant people, mostly I like native plants but we are doing our backyard more traditionally, and the landscapers had a communication failure that led to some plants we wanted to save getting cut down. One of these was the old rambling rose with pink and red striped flowers that smelled really good, rosey without being perfumey. I was sad. But now I need to find a rose to replace it with, I like most colors but I like an old fashioned look, rambling, messy #flowers, nice smell but not intense. I might get a #California wild #rose but for various #horticultural varieties, what would you #recommend?
#tsohost have suddenly announced that they are putting up annual #prices by a factor of between 5 and 10. As a poor #student with no #income, I cannot afford this!
#Recommendations anyone? I need basic features like #email but nothing fancy as my personal website #domain doesn't get a large number of visitors or emails.
Uhhm can anyone of you #recommend me #wireless (no Bluetooth) #headphones / a #headset (mic is optional) with great sound (and some kind of #surround or positional audio)?
Data & charging must be done via #USBC and if there are software settings, these also must be saved on the device.
I already looked at the Blackshark V2 Pro, but apparently the software needs to run all the time... - Otherwise it looks really great (apart from the price :nkoHehe: )
Let's get this out of the way: they give a number of #reasons why #webservers "might wish" to establish that a web #client is running on a "#trusted" software stack, including things like "make sure other game players aren't cheating" and "ensure I'm talking to another human".
”Human experience is shaped by the flow of predictions, so that our every waking moment reflects not just what is coming in from the outside world, but what our braoin expected to be coming in. Experience happens only when these forces collide.”
I created the article listing 15 Ukrainian #naughty clothing and #lingerie brands that deliver worldwide and I've already shared it once, but with the previous instance, so today seems like a good day to do it again.
Some shops only work via Instagram accounts, unfortunately. If you don't have one, but would like to connect with the shop and order something - talk to me, I'll try to #help
This is possible, and with protecting #wilderness as well. It requires agricultural "#intensification"; applying modern techniques, equipment, and biology to farming.
There's a good #discussion of how this can be done, and has been done in various other places, to save wildernesses, improve standards of living, and reduce #hunger, in a very good #book - "Apocalypse Never" (2020), by Michael Shellenberger.
If I will #recommend a #fediverse software that needs support (developer and financial(?)), it is #Plume.
Plume is “a federated blogging application”. Basically, it is a blogging software that was made for the fediverse network.
Features I like:
It has comments. The comments also pulls from the fediverse.
Collaborative writing.
License chooser
The project is currently on hiatus, as per the status update on the official website: https://joinplu.me
> Currently, Plume developers have less time and Plume is not actively maintained. New features may take time to be implemented. Could you consider similar purpose software: WriteFreely.
