I had forgotten that Donald Sutherland is in Kate Bush's song "Cloudbusting".
The weather machine was designed by the production crew behind the Alien films, and the video was storyboarded by Terry Gilliam.

Do you have a mental illness? Why some people answer ‘yes’, even if they haven’t been diagnosed


"Diagnostic labels may become identity-defining and self-limiting, as people come to believe their problems are enduring, hard-to-control aspects of who they are...

"...Ongoing cultural shifts are fostering increasingly expansive definitions of mental illness. These shifts are likely to have mixed blessings. By normalising mental illness they may help to remove its stigma. However, by pathologising some forms of everyday distress, they may have an unintended downside.

"As we wrestle with the mental health crisis, it is crucial we find ways to increase awareness of mental ill health without inadvertently inflating it."

in reply to Muse

I don't think mental illnesses are contagious, but they sure seem to be common. Everyone I know claims to have some phobia, some disorder, some addiction, or some ongoing stressor that won't go away.
in reply to Muse

We live in stressful times. It is bad for our physical and mental health. It's sad, though, how people will lock themselves into complete helplessness out of despair. Others hope if they can just get the right drug, it will help them to feel better while they continue to be stuck in difficult circumstances. We are not always our own best friends.

I don't get to the theater often, but thoroughly enjoyed Pixar's Inside Out 2 with my family.

The storytellers did an excellent job portraying changing emotions & our sense of self in an accessible way for all ages.

It also offers an opportunity to start the conversation - especially with children - about how to understand anxiety.

I highly recommend this one. #film #art

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

so one of the major risks is to not use AI

So my anecdotal experience has been this: the best SWEs i know have yet to start using LLMs to empower their work, many have tried using it, and found it wanting. But many of the less quality conscious devs I know have adopted it happily, and it has helped them much more rapidly produce stuff that lacks quality

The only AI i respect are the Multiplayer Bots, AI allies and the super ghost battles in Tekken 8

The fossil fuel industry is preparing to do worse than let pilgrims die of extreme heat.

They plan on letting 1 billion people die of famine by 2050.

They plan on having 1.2 billion climate refugees by 2050.

They plan on torpedoing every liberal democracy.

They plan on having more zoonotic pandemics.

Scary and worth knowing about.
I remember encountering this with some post-modernists. It was scary how people were so impressed by someone with a vocabularly of three to four syllable words, but nothing real to say.

"Vocabularly", now THAT's an interesting word! I wonder what it means? A finger having a good time bouncing on the "l" key?

I think there's a new image format that's not rendering on pods that haven't updated yet.
in reply to Muse

Yes, images are now converted to webp to save space.



I call this "kittification"!

Did both. Still not seeing it. May have to wait for David to update.
in reply to Muse

Yeah, it might be an issue with still running the older version of Diaspora on your pod.
