well now this has joined all the stupid stuff in my own meme folder :)

Carnivore diet fixes all of this ;)

Is it still ad hominem when you are just stating simple and relevant facts?

Found out about this author's children's books. They are incredible. I bought basically all of them :)

Installed AirGradient monitors in all our rooms. Air quality in Singapore is surprisingly good...

I got curious and googled it:

A bone density scan, also known as a DEXA or DXA scan, is a low-dose x-ray that measures calcium and other minerals in your bones. Bones containing more minerals are denser and tend to be stronger and less likely to break. The measurement helps show your bone's strength and thickness (known as bone density or mass).

Oh man... I think I finally figure out what always eats up the battery of my iPad when I don't use it for a few days...

The stupid "Find My iPad" app. Disabled. Let's see how it goes now.

For years now my iPad has been collecting dust because literally every single time I want to use it, it is out of battery...

Select all squares that contain lizards...

Oh but you meant "when having kids, free time is priceless"

Agree :)

But I also enjoy every second with her, even though it zaps my inner battery empty in no time :)

I retired in order to homeschool my daughter. Literally the entire rest of my life will be "free time with kids" :)

Rolled out new https://iris.to version:

* Zero-configuration zaps for new users: comes with a [npub]@npub.cash lightning address and an integrated Cashu wallet (cashu.me)

* ReplyGuy-free experience: automatically hides content by users not in your social graph

* "Unseen" feed. Click "home" or switch tabs to refresh.

* "Adventure" feed. Shows content from everyone in your social graph.

* Social graph based fast user search

* Better scroll position retention on back navigation

"Add to home screen" for better mobile use experience & push notifications.

This new version is based on NDK. I think it's a good idea for web devs to work together on shared core libraries.

Not perfect, but I'll keep working on it! If you preferred the previous Iris version, you should use https://snort.social which is basically it.

Amazing! But isn't one of the main powers of social media that your post goes viral and lots of people who are NOT in your social graph will reply to you and thus you can tap into the wisdom of the crowd?

Most people that I follow don't follow me back, so that would mean when I post something I would barely ever see any replies to my posts.

Only if you are able and willing to relocate to another country when the need arises.

It is important to have additional passports lined up and/or know the processes of retrieving long term visit passes for other jurisdictions.

The true political power of bitcoin stems from the fact that the elites can just slip away to somewhere else and take all their wealth with them if a government stops being useful to its citizens.

Somewhere in there needs to be "Corporations --> Evil"

any tricks for finding signal? just following good people and reading your timeline or do you have better tools?

I asked GPT to get a background:

In Time and Being (or Zeit und Sein), Martin Heidegger introduces the concept of the "event" (Ereignis) as a central element in his later philosophy. The term Ereignis can be difficult to translate, often rendered as "event," but it carries a richer sense in Heidegger's thought, implying something more like "enowning" or "appropriating event."

In the context of Time and Being, Heidegger's "event" refers to the way in which Being itself unfolds or reveals itself to human beings. It signifies a dynamic process rather than a static thing, where Being (the fundamental nature of reality) "appropriates" or "enowns" entities (including human beings) into its unfolding. This "event" is the happening where time, Being, and human existence come together.

The key ideas of the event in Heidegger's thought are:

1. The Unfolding of Being: The event is the process through which Being reveals itself to us. It is not something that happens at a particular moment but is an ongoing happening that lets entities, including humans, "belong" to Being.

2. Interplay Between Time and Being: In Time and Being, Heidegger explores the intimate relationship between time and Being. The event is where time (understood not as linear clock time, but as a more primordial, existential temporality) and Being intersect. Time is the horizon within which Being reveals itself through the event.

3. Enowning or Appropriation: The term Ereignis also carries the sense of "appropriation," meaning that in the event, entities are drawn into their proper place or meaning within the unfolding of Being. Human beings, through their existence, are "appropriated" into this event of Being.

4. Beyond Metaphysical Thinking: The event concept reflects Heidegger's later move beyond traditional metaphysics, which focuses on beings (entities) in a fixed, static way. Instead, Heidegger wants to think about Being itself as an active, dynamic process.

In sum, Heidegger's event in Time and Being is a way to describe how Being, time, and existence are intertwined in a dynamic unfolding process, where human beings play a crucial role in the revelation of Being through their existence and experience of time.

Sounds very confusing to be honest.
