pawb.social because furries (kbin.social was discontinued i think so i had to leave there)

moved my mastodon account to furry.engineer because it was run by the pawb.social team. also i’d never seen a .engineer domain before lol.

and i have an account at waf.moe because i like how it looks and wafrn is different and cool. there’s also custom css on profiles.

I’m brazilian, our official language is Portuguese, and Qwant is not available here either. It seems they don’t understand that people can speak two or more languages? They could just put an “English-only results” warning, but ok.

NoAI DuckDuckGo (noai.duckduckgo.com)

it has decent enough results and disables the unwanted AI features (I don’t want to prompt an LLM whenever I search something)

I am willing to switch to something else, right now DDG is good enough.

This is kinda sad but I’m… glad it worked?

yay! i have a motorola phone hopefully i will be able to install grapheneOS on it some day. though for some stupid government/banking apps i’ll probably need a secondary, crappier phone with the usual spyware on it. i really hope that they make grapheneOS available for already purchased Motorola phones.

edit: from what i see it looks like it’s probably gonna be for newer devices, and that is very sad, as i’m only gonna buy a new phone in like 3 to 4 years. Anyway, at least motorola has pretty good hardware and ok prices. Wait, do newer motorola phones come with a headphone jack? my Moto G55 has a headphone jack.

ABAB: All Bombs Are Bastards

I have no idea how I manage to wake up 1 to 20 minutes before my alarm sometimes.

What do you mean I woke up at 05:59? Have I been counting without knowing it??

The weird thing is that if I don’t set the alarm, I’ll wake up 30 or so minutes after it would’ve went off… So I usually set alarms and stop them before they go off.

I like glass mugs and they can come with designs as well

IPFire is inflammable, …

I’d never heard of IPFire before searching btw, and it’s not a general purpose distribution. I cannot find any active distro for J, but I found this JustEnoughLinuxOS

Oh, I won’t be verifying my identity, ever. It’s basically self-doxxing.

Or I’ll host my own server and mark myself as verified. I mean, does one even verify if an ID check was actually conducted? Who would be bothered to check?

I look mostly at the ground to avoid stepping on dog poo.

Edit: looks like the study was not done using eye tracking and was instead done with pictures:

https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.1089/vio.2023.0027 <- paper

Participants were given 16 images and asked to consider walking alone through the place in the picture. Using the Qualtrics heat map tool, they were instructed to imagine themselves walking through these areas and to click on the area(s) of the image that stood out to the most to them.

Source: the research article paper I linked above

Also, even if it was done with some type of eye tracking glasses, if you knew you were taking part in a study, would you be worried about what might happen, in comparison to how worried you are normally? Like I’m not gonna be worried about someone sneaking up on me if I know I’m being observed and more likely to be safe, so naturally I’d be more relaxed. I imagine the same applies for other people.

To make it clear that it’s sarcasm

But why is it at that distance specifically? Can I get closer to a rainbow and see it become bigger? Why is there a 42° angle in the picture?
