Here's my collection - some bought for me by my grandma, two of them belonged to my great aunt and the rest I have bought for myself whenever I've returned home

The one on my wrist 24/7 is the LGBTQIA pride design (it needs a clean, I know)

"Microsoft Office, like many companies in recent months, has slyly turned on an “opt-out” feature that scrapes your Word and Excel documents to train its internal AI systems. This setting is turned on by default, and you have to manually uncheck a box in order to opt out.

If you are a writer who uses MS Word to write any proprietary content (blog posts, novels, or any work you intend to protect with copyright and/or sell), you’re going to want to turn this feature off immediately.

I won’t beat around the bush. Microsoft Office doesn’t make it easy to opt out of this new AI privacy agreement, as the feature is hidden through a series of popup menus in your settings:

On a Windows computer, follow these steps to turn off “Connected Experiences”: File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings > Optional Connected Experiences > Uncheck box: “Turn on optional connected experiences”"

I got some money for Christmas and the worst part is deciding whether to buy a plotter or a paper guilottine. Plotter will allow me to go wild with designs for my notebooks, will cut my stickers in no time, whereas the guilottine will save me time trimming books by hand.

I'm leaning more towards the plotter tbh, I was eyeing the Cricut Joy Xtra, but am willing to try others in the same price range. What's the general consensus on Cricuts?

So I got the reply to my GSPR questions from a lawyer. Of course he didn't tell me specifically what I should do from my product, but he linked me to a few Czech laws that already apply for product safety, and linked me also to our Trade Inspection authority, which was quite helpful.

Here's what I'm gonna do (1/3)

Fedifriends! I need your help. My sister-in-law is looking for recommendations for media (ideally movies and TV shows) that have queer parent representation and are developmentally appropriate for a 3yo and a 5yo.

in germany you need a frequency assignment to emit EM radiation below a wavelength of 1μm

one small issue: the human body, which has a temperature, emits some amount of EM radiation below a wavelength of 1μm. there is no frequency assignment to use THF in this way. you are a pirate radio station and don’t realize it.

🎄Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, please enjoy these festive-looking #hedgehogs.🎄
(In the #medieval bestiary, the hedgehog's story usually involved it rolling around and collecting fallen fruit on its quills to bring home to its children - fruit kebabs to go!)

FRPG GM Tip: Full-detail maps are great, especially for online games. But don’t be afraid to sketch out a rough map on paper or drop basic shapes onto a VTT page to set up a combat scene. The players’ imaginations will fill in the details you describe. That’s literally how the game is meant to work.

OK, *this* is an important point. Characters in #TheLordOfTheRings are constantly "despairing", but to despair is not necessarily to give up.

In the story we see *three* reactions to despair. Frodo, Faramir - in fact, most of the principle cast - each feel a sense of hopelessness at some point, but continue to push forward. Some characters are overwhelmed and do nothing - this is Theoden, when we first meet him. And some actively subvert the heroes - see Denethor and Saruman.

Wow. I’ve never been cursed by a fortune cookie before.
