Just think how many pounds he’d have gained if he hadn’t been on Ozempic.

My mother was neck deep in “Satanic Panic” propaganda. Literally thought Pokemon was “Satanic.” I think the thing that set her off was the Japanese-style art, and Japan isn’t majority-Christian like the U.S. is.
Don’t think that by explaining this I’m trying to make it make sense. The “sense” train derailed long before, but even more so when she decided that Pokemon had wiccan influence for some random fucking reason.

- Comment on If copyright on a work expired immediately after death, would be that a bad or good idea? 3 weeks ago:
Anything to shorten it sounds good to me.
So say we all.
In the U.S., recently, GOP Senator Josh Hawley, one of the speakers who helped incite the January 6th insurrection, introduced a bill to make the term of Copyright 28 years with optionally one renewal for an additional 28 years.
And, it’s so weird to me that I could agree with him on anything really.
Mind you, he introduced that bill in an effort to punish Disney for being too “woke”, but I’d let the MAGA nuts use such a bill as an opportunity to crow for a few minutes about their victory over strong woman protagonists or whatever if it got us more reasonable copyright terms. (And honestly that’s too long, but it’s a hell of a lot better than the bullshit we have now.)
Also, fuck Sonny Bono.

Not in the U.S… For work-for-hire, It’s 95 years after publication. For works owned originally by a lump of flesh, blood, and bone, it’s 70 years after the author’s death.

- Comment on Anon goes on a diet 5 weeks ago:
Can confirm. Eating healthy helps a lot. The first time I tried to lose weight, didn’t change what I ate, just how much I ate. So I was still eating crappy, completely non-nutritious food. Just less of it. I plateaued well before reaching my target weight, was desperate to eat all the time, felt like shit, got frustrated, gave up, and gained all my weight back.
The second time, I did better. Ate healthier, but still not as well as I could. But I got down to my target weight and kept it off for a good long time.
Now, I keep my weight at my target weight mostly without thinking about it. I eat healthy, but not specifically for the purpose of keeping my weight at a good level per se. More because… well I want to be healthy.
Moral of the story, try not to fixate on your weight. Eat healthy for your health. Health is about more than just your weight. And being healthy will help you meet your weight goals more than losing weight will help you reach your health goals.

- Comment on Anon witnesses excellent security 1 month ago:
Honestly, a policy of “no free-of-charge software installed on workstations except FOSS” might improve security a bit and probably without doing all that much damage to the day-to-day workings of the company.
For that matter, if my employer instituted a policy of “no software except FOSS”, my own particular job probably would be a surprisingly small adjustment. As long as they were willing to do the work to set up infrastructure and/or let us switch to FOSS alternatives that require third-party server providers as necessary. About all I can think of that’s installed on my work machine that’s proprietary is:
- Zoom
- A paid corporate VPN client
- A random program that I use to authenticate to Kubernetes clusters in use where I work (so I can use Kubectl)
- Chrome
- The Client Management software my company uses (the software they use to remotely administrate the company-provided machines – force install shit without telling you, spy on you, nag people who have computers that aren’t actually used to return them, wipe your computer if you report it stolen, etc)
- And, of course, bios, proprietary firmware blobs, etc
Beyond that, I honestly can’t think specifically of anything else proprietary installed on my work machine. My personal computers have far less proprietary software installed than the above list.

Well, my experience was that at first, I didn’t see the forks at all. (That is to say I didn’t recognize them as “forks”. Or even as “things”.) The forks looked like some blurry, nondescript background and the “pepper shapes” looked like foreground items hanging from something unseen off the top. The shapes didn’t look really like anything I could identify. That lasted for a good 30 seconds before, very (very) suddenly, it crystalized and I could only see the forks on a purple background. Really uncanny how rapidly and entirely it shifted. After a good amount of effort, I was able to shift back to the first perception, but it took considerable effort along with looking away and back a couple of times. And once I achieved it, it felt hard to maintain. Very strange experience. Far more so than most “bistable” sort of optical illusions I’ve seen.
