turns out trauma born from building a LEGO set at the age of 7 can stay with you for life :blobyeengrin:

I believe that one of the best gifts you can get someone for Christmas is something they really like but wouldn't buy for themselves.

My family also seems to know this and they seem to know me very well, too :blobfoxmeltsoblove:

@odoben I use LaTeX at work... Let me just say that a lot of context and active family filter does not prevent a lot of NSFW results from showing up... :neocat_googly_shocked:
(Also searching for latex after work w/o family filter usually result in a lot of spicy equation pics... :neocat_googly_woozy: )

My method for creating fictional world maps:
1) go for a walk after rain
2) take photos of drying spots on the sidewalk
3) draw over them ✨ :blobfoxfloofreach:

Photo I took of the surface of a wet sidewalk that has dry spots in it and a second image that's the same photo but with the edges of the spots outlined.

@odoben Ha, I took some pictures of some snow and ice a couple of weeks ago for this exact purpose!

Maybe I need to really draw some maps.

@odoben and that’s exactly how Rorschach invented his tests.

@odoben 'Grease stains on the inside of pizza boxes' is also a good option.

So regular Google search results are being flooded with LLM generated pages but Google Scholar is at least safe from this happening to it, right?
...right? :blobfoxcofeterrified:

Odoben

Hm, I should probably look for Google Scholar alternatives, just in case--

OH COME ON

In my endeavours towards relying on Google less I've learned that in #Firefox you can add any search box from any site as a bookmark with a keyword associated with it.

E.g. I've added Dictionary.com with the keyword !dic, Cambridge Dictionary with !cam and Meriam-Webster with !mer so instead of typing "something definition" into my browser's bar and then clicking on a search result I can type e.g. "!dic something" and get to the result right away. #FirefoxTips

Additional note: It doesn't always seem to manage to figure out the right URL format, e.g. for Meriam-Webster it added it as
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary?=%s

but their actual URL format is:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/something

so I had to manually correct it to:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/%s

The thing about living in a country that doesn't have Halloween and Thanksgiving is that malls start putting up Christmas decorations in October.

I decided to write a little introduction to Mastodon that I can send to people who are interested in joining Mastodon.
Here's the link to it:

Boosts and feedback on what I should include/change in it are appreciated!
