Turns out the Marshmallow Test is strongly affected by economic status, and is therefore debunked as a universal test of child development:
"Affluence—not willpower—seems to be what’s behind some kids' capacity to delay gratification."

I currently am uninsured in Germany and have 11 days left of testosterone blockers and don't know how I will get more. 4 weeks ago I was off of t blockers for a month and it fucked me up, the worst thing was hair on my face growing in, undoing many laser sessions work.

I want to go to London in the next 11 days, to get health care and an EHIC for Germany, and to make sure I don't go off t blockers again. But I have no money.

Plz donate, pm me for info.

I just quit my freelance gig with privacyweekberlin and I really don't recommend other web developers work for them. They expect so much in terms of work and unpaid meetings and your time is worth more than that.

Also special warning for women - the project lead has: expected emotional labour from me for his relationship, ignored my no repeatedly when I don't want to explain sexuality, and even made a threat about hitting his girlfriend while only I was around. I was expected to be Web dev and therapist.

Kapitalismus oder die eingepflanzte Hybris dass Menschen die viel Geld verdienen, viel Geld _verdienen_.

Wollt ihr mal ganz revolutionär sein? Verteilt Geld um, an Menschen die prekär leben. Bedingungslos. Selbst/Gerade für Luxus.

Und ohne Kekse dafür einzufordern.

Bequemlichkeit siegt. Es könnte auch heißen: " erstaunlich, wie wenig Menschen [Nicht-Whatsapp] nutzen"

Traurig, aber wahr.

Viel schlimmer finde ich, dass man als Nicht-Whatsapper dann auch noch gnadenlos ausgegrenzt wird. Vereine, Eltern von Kita-/Schul-Kinder usw organisieren sich nur noch so. 😖

It's that time of the year again where I think "Ok, THIS time I'll set up a right and proper #backup scheme"... and then just end up with manual rsync anyway.

So, #linux people, what do you use to manage your #backups?

I'm looking for:
- incremental
- automatable
- local and/or remote
- browsable without special tools
- GUI optional but available

In the past this boiled down to {rsnapshot|rdiff-backup} but maybe that's changed?

Wenn man sich #DSGVO sowie die #PAG der Bundesländer anschaut dann kommt man Objektiv zum Ergebniss, dass sich der #Staat real auf einen #Bürgerkrieg vorbereitet.

So Max Schrems is sueing Google and Facebook for ~4 Billion € each for #GDPR violations. We take this possibility for granted, but let that sink in for a moment: we live in a society where a random individual can sue multibillion dollar companies for huge fines, and doesn't have to fear for his life or fear significant other repercussions. Not too bad actually.

Also, it's really hard to be a prescriptivist when you're really into etymology. It's difficult to complain about linguistic drift when you know exactly how much language has drifted even in the last hundred years.

@ralpharama Do you mean on Mastodon (since you posted it as local)? Open it (for example: Click on "Federated timeline" below "Navigation"), then click on the button, with the 3 sliders as the icon, and click "Pin" (same as the Screenshot below). :)

People talking about Google assistants and how to automate voice calls underestimate the creepiness of it all. Case in point: @brainblasted got a call and writes about it, here:
https://floss.social/@brainblasted/100086988061659283
Automated voice calls and automated dialects are already used by political parties and businesses. In the end telephony will be like email: a way to be spammed. We will hide our phone numbers and refuse to take calls from strangers. It’s what I already do. #telephony #spam
