What I miss most in mastodon is that people don't showcase many of their recent articles and discoveries compared to X. Yet, it is a fun and effective way of keeping my reading up to date. Does anyone have a trick to get around this?

@JMeunierEarwig I'd recommend to follow more users ( https://followgraph.vercel.app/ ), relevant hashtags such as and as well as general groups such as @academicchatter - I see many new papers showcased every day. Following publishers such as @ASNAmNat @pcievolbiol also helps.

"Many societies take pains to individuals with objects, tasks, and food, yet we repeatedly see that gender is not as important in the very young and the very old, and that gender is often most strongly marked when people are of reproductive age (Gilchrist, 2007)"

“The repeated stylizations of the body—everyday acts and gestures—are themselves performatives, producing the gendered identity of which they are thought to be the expressions.”(Alberti, 2013, p. 95)

SEND AN EMAIL: Don't Arrest Librarians in Utah

Utah legislators want to pass a new law by claiming librarians are distributing porn and they want librarians to be rounded up and sent to jail for having books like “The Bluest Eye” and “Forever”

HP's Omen Transcend 14 weighs just 3.5 pounds while packing up to an RTX 4070 GPU.

The lightest, this makes makes me think, what actually constitutes a gaming laptop, I have an old Intel 530 laptop, I can play Abe’s Oddysee on it, and probably fallout, which makes it a gaming laptop, why do gamers chase the latest hardware when for mere cents they can get a good experience, an experience which was a dream to many.

It’s just marketing terms and they carry zero weight (lol) or reasoning anymore. Best to ignore anything a company says and just look at the hardware and its use case. Companies will continue to lie to consumers and nothing will change that

All newly announced models get Bluetooth 5.3 with LE audio and Auracast support.

That’s actually pretty awesome. Bluetooth speakers are getting to the point where new features aren’t really being released, so features like this actually helps a brand stand apart.

I’m trying to imagine what someone would use it for/want it for. It seems juat like more plastic crap for the landfill.

ryper ,

According to Engadget’s coverage of the first model with the touchscreen case, the case mostly just lets you use functionality from the app that goes with the earbuds without actually going into the app. I don’t use the apps for my earbuds or headphones, so I can’t say how useful quicker access to their functionality would be.

There's no word on pricing or when this tech will be available in retail devices, but it looks incredible.

Jag vill börja logga mina böcker och läsning. Har väldigt svårt för Goodreads. Vad använder ni för att hålla koll och "dela med er" av er läslogg? Självklart går det att ha nån sida på min hemsida eller bara en .txt nånstans. Men hur kul är det. Jag vill ju se vad andra läser och dela med mig av min enormt dåliga smak!

@aburtch @CuriousMagpie @bookstodon yes! I'm trying out bookwyrm right now. It will take some time to get the hang of it. Big fan of that it federates.

Really great interview with Jodie Foster in The Guardian!

"There’s something Hugh Grant said [..]: that the fame thing at a young age is like being shot up with steroids and you live with those big muscles your whole life, and then, one day, you make the decision that there are no more steroids. And you don’t recognise yourself and have no idea who you are. And you have to rebuild an entire identity. That can be difficult, and [..] I had to learn late.”

... and what do you think about the above interview, @actuallyautistic?

Jodie Foster:
“I’m not a multitasker. I’m a weird focused person. If there’s a spectrum, that’s my spectrum. It doesn’t matter if there are planes going by or if someone is calling my name, if I’m focused on something. I’m really good at going, no thank you, I’m not doing that.”

My radar was having hiccups so intense were my feelings while reading this...

@piracy How do i check if a crack is safe or not?

I'm trying to install a cracked version of davinci resolve on my pc, but I don't know if it's safe. is there a way to check easily?

BlackSkinnedJew ,

What about a virtual machine? I have years WO doing that stuff but I used to do that years ago.

KillingTimeItself ,

your main concern would be files. If you run something as your usual suspect user, that software can do pretty much whatever it feels like with files under those permissions, unless sandboxed.

Not quite malware, but if someone wanted to troll you a goof rm -rf isn’t hard.
