@anita One thing that can help is wearing looser boots. If they're too tight, they can prevent blood from getting to them and warming them back up. Same can happen with gloves.
Or you may just be at a genetic disadvantage!

In #English there is the expression of something being a "double-edged sword".
In #Dutch we have almost the same expression - "het mes snijdt aan beide kanten".
The meaning is almost opposite, however: the Dutch expression means "this has 2 distinct advantages", like a win-win scenario or killing two birds with one stone. The English expression means "this has both advantages and disadvantages". #linguistics

Bitcoin hodlers have another instance to join here.
Boost / repost this to reach more potential users and keep the fediverse distributed.
This instance is Pleroma with Soapbox. The web UI is pleasant and has a great one on one messenger that you won’t find on Mastodon. You can also use apps compatible with Mastodon and Pleroma.

@waxwing IIRC California actually passed a law that required companies that offer online signups to also offer online cancellation.
@giacomozucco I for one support our politicians wearing as many masks as possible. Better yet, a 100% effective plastic bag.

"‘LEAKY’ VACCINES CAN MAKE VIRUSES MORE DEADLY"
'A new study is the first to confirm a highly controversial theory: that some vaccines could allow more virulent version of a virus to survive, putting unvaccinated individuals at greater risk of severe illness.'
The mRNA vaccines probably fit this definition, because they cause your body to produce one very specific covid part: an imperfect version of the spike protein. And on top of that, lockdown has the same effect.

Great pod with @pete on Swan Signal, talking about the other side in the block size debate all scammers. No one non-scamming & technically inclined were on that side.

@drgo Take another listen to it.
Segwit can only be done once because it moves signature data from one place to another, with the new place just not existing before. You can't do that twice. Segwit didn't patch any security vulnerabilities (at least directly).

Overdose deaths are so high that Toronto Public Health is telling drug users to violate lockdown, for safety:
"Try not to use alone. Use with someone else and take turns spotting for each other.Wear a mask and stay 6 feet away from people you are using with to avoid passing the virus. A buddy system is safer than using alone"
Lockdowns kill.

I was looking at old old innernet posts, and I found the most terrifying one sentence story ever
"It's 3 AM. An official phone alert wakes you up. It says "DO NOT LOOK AT THE MOON". You have hundreds of notifications. Hundreds of random numbers are sending "It's a beautiful night tonight. Look outside.""

Google has suspended Element (@matrix) from the Play Store for "Sexual Content and Profanity". Basically same story as with Subway Tooter a while back. Element is to Matrix as Chrome is to the web. Curiously, Chrome is still on the Play Store.
@sebx2a @lucash_dev @verretor I can assure you that oxygen is _at_ the root of all evils. So is matter and energy.
@lucash_dev @verretor The desire for oxygen is at the root of all evils.

Great example of the theoretically infinite losses possible with short selling: in just one month, GameStop short sellers have lost $19.75 billion dollars, on a $1.23 billion market cap.
Of course, the market cap right now is exactly $21.2 billion...

@harding @pete I use the Scrambled EXIF app to do this on my phone on the fly. Super easy.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jarsilio.android.scrambledeggsif
When sharing a photo, first share to the app, then share opens again and choose wherever you wanted to originally share it to and the exif data is gone. It's FOSS and available on F-Droid too.
