So talk is now of 'ensuring departure" instead of "ensuring orderly departure". #Brexit

Trying to understand this #OcapPub thing, watched some ap conference videos. Very interesting. But I still don't understand. What direction of the interaction are identity tunnels going to protect? Once you've published your post, they have it so they don't need any capability to read it. If the reading is to be protected, we can't actually publish any posts? So we stop doing the Pub in ActivityPub?

I was re-watching #StaceyDooley Investigates - World's Worst Place to Be a Woman, from 2015. So harrowing to hear these men 'explain' that they feel they have the right to murder a woman if she doesn't listen to them, or if she has a job. That they feel it is normal for them to have five girlfriends but that their 'main' girlfriend should be faithful to them.

If you want a multi column layout over multiple accounts, #Sengi seems to work fine on mobile and #Pleroma as well.

I dislike when people talk about measuring affecting the outcome. That's just one way of introducing a boundary condition.

A better way would be, but I'm no physicist, to say that things can be unresolved until bound by future events.

Like when you need 5 mathematical equations to solve a problem with 5 variables: if you have only 4 equations, the variables remain unresolved until you find the 5th one. The quantum interpretation is, I think, that this 5th boundary condition can happen in the future and in the meantime things exist in this unresolved state.

The Schrödinger's Cat thought experiment is not a good way of describing the modern interpretation of quantum mechanics. Schrödinger himself came up with it to discredit the interpretation, in a letter to Einstein, since they both didn't belief in it.

The term Big Bang (for the theory of the beginning of the universe) was coined by somebody who didn't believe in it. All science documentaries showing some CGI explosion are perpetuating the ensuing myth.

#JennaOrtega will play a lead role in the film Yes Day. They start filming soon and it will be on Netflix. Reading the short description I'm quite excited to see this!

I've seen #CloudsOfSilsMaria twice in a row now, because it's that sort of film. Amazing performances by #JulietteBinoche, #KristenStewart and #ChloëGraceMoretz, as expected. It's both about acting and about getting older.
