Favorite new cell phone plan with Google FI. Only $17.50 per month with 30GB 5G Data, deal ends tomorrow. Best plan out there presently! I switched (but with higher data.) Great for international data too! Use this link:

I just had a visit by #OccupationalTherapy today to do an evaluation and see where they can help make our lovely home a bit safer for me to move around in, they were excellent, will handle liasing with the landlords and sorting everything we need doing. The downside is my #visible illness tracker is telling me I've used all my points for the day already so I'm going to rest up while the wife gets the food shop then my daughter can help me make the chicken tikka for dinner. #MECFS #spoonies 2/4

It's International #MECFS Day so here is how my day is going.

Woke at 0430 after 2 hours sleep, arms are heavy and brain is fizzing, I can't hold a thought, I get myself to the bathroom and wash my face, etc before returning to bed and prop myself up to watch old telly, my #visible armband is already warning me I'm in danger of going over my #spoons for the day. It hits 0800 and everyone else gets up so I put on my brave face, carefully make my way downstairs and join them for breakfast.

@lproven @theregister as much as I love the #freedom and #autonomy of #linux it's definitely a #purest #technically #adept approach to self #digitization

The majority of people I've worked with want nothing to do with knowing how anything works. They just want their computer to auto-load all their bents like #magic , be able to access anything on the #Network without getting permission and install any #app on their #device they choose.

#Government , #libraries especially, need to untether from #broZone #architecture and do things for themselves again.

I'm not a #statistician and only have #anecdotal #evidence to go by, but I don't see a whole lotta folks doing, or even wanting, to do things themselves. Let alone, pick up the #skills required to do so.

The worst part, the people actually willing and able to help, can't afford to, because it doesn't #pay well, enough.

So, we all have to figure out a way to fix "that" first. But, that would require everyone believing doing #work themselves is better for them and the #Earth in the long run rather than #automating each and every #human #interaction out of #existence

Good afternoon from #Pasadena. Rough day. Started with an #Afib episode at 3am & went on for over 5 hours. Trouble breathing. If this ever happens to you, don't rule out heart issues and side with #PanicAttack. I went on 15 years with Afib due to this kind of thinking supported by awful doctors.

Very unusual to have afib again as I had an ablation years ago and it generally only triggers after major sugery, but I think it was triggered by a combination of lack of sleep and stress from very abusive staff people at my new dermatologist (over the phone,; I have not yet been there) which sent my heart racing briefly (see chart). I'm using #MakeVisible aka #Visible heart monitoring and pace-setting atm and it's been so #HELPFUL!!!

Considered canceling, but must go. So this will be when I start taking #MosesTheServiceDog to med appts to avoid meltdown if abusive in person as well. So he's getting a good brush and grooming & we're going together, as a team.

Amazing how abusive some doctors' offices are. Hadn't had such an experience since visting a bad neurologist who started w a big sigh, looked at my chart for first time, zeroed in on Rx list & said it was no wonder I felt tired, that I was a walking chemistry experiment…

Hoping your day is going better than mine though mine has improved tremendously!! ❤️

Screen from the Visible App showing my heart rate. Top says "Heart Rate." There is a left arrow in the top left corner, a sliding icon filter button at the top right. Just below center top it says Today, 22 Jul. Below it has a blue circle on the left with, to the right, 18.5 pacepoints. To the right of that is a size reduction icon with the scale of the diagram below (along the right margin), that goes from the bottom right: 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 which are beats per minute. The heart rate diagram at the bottom is fully blue except high bars (going to 110 BPM) in pink with a price tag icon attached to the top of those bars. At the very bottom is the time scale: 15:30, 16:00, 16:30

[The prowess of #Euclid] Our #sky is dotted with points of light, which it identifies as wandering #planets, clusters of #stars, #galaxies - some of them far away, whose distribution tells us about the structure and evolution of the #Universe.

To do this, it operates from space in the #visible and #infrared domains, using two instruments (NISP and VISP) offering him a vision that is both detailed and wide-ranging.

Magnificent images of the surrounding sky follow: irap.omp.eu/en/2024/05/euclid-

I love how Cory Doctorow used the term #brainworm to describe destrctuive #memes. It is imperative that we denounce #neurotropic #nematodes when & wherever they appear. The #techindustry is flooded with them, finding themselves manifested in the #techbro, unsurprisingly mostly #visible as a #member of the #male form of our #species.

In a 2022 article, Cory reviews some #drm #history. There is a constant in the #industry to #dominate and #control people via their devices.
