What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

Includes the all time best song ever made, The Pot!!!
Picture of a Tool's album called 10 000 days. It's dark colored with a human entity like sculpture(?) of a head which have multiple noses and eyes.

Hyvää isänpäivää @raunohuttunen.bsky.social 😊🌹🎂

Kuvassa iskä nuorena, kalasaalis kädessään ja talvinen kotikatu Kajaanissa taustalla.

Kiitos siitä viisaudesta, jota olet jakanut – ja kaikesta mitä olen siulta oppinut ❤️

Nera kohta 7kk onnittelee kotiutumisesta 😊 Jos voisin palata ajassa taaksepäin niin emme olisi ikinä säilyttäneet likapyykkejä tuossa peilikaapissa, koska niiden ansiosta tää mahdoton vintiö oppi availemaan noita liukuovia ja varastelemaan sieltä milloin mitäkin 🙈

Suzanne Collins, you’re sadistic! …and I must be a masochist for keeping on reading Hunger Games books 🥲

I totally get why Haymitch is an alcoholic 🥃🥀🕊️

#SunriseOnTheReaping
#HungerGames
A screenshot from my Goodreads account where I have written a review of the S. Collins' Sunrise on the Reaping. It sais: Pure torture. I cried my eyes out. It was fascinating (and heartbreaking) to finally understand why Haymitch became an alcoholic. Honestly, I don’t blame him one bit. But I do wonder what Suzanne Collins is trying to do to us—this book felt like emotional whiplash at times. And yet… I kept reading, fully knowing the pain that was coming. Apparently, I’m as much a masochist as Collins is a sadist. That said, I couldn’t fully enjoy the reading experience. The overuse of songs and poems—especially toward the end—made the story feel slow and even a bit tedious. The emotional impact was strong, but the pacing and structure sometimes pulled me out of it. Three stars for being powerful, painful, and thought-provoking—but also exhausting.

Ehkä se kansioihin jaottelutapa ei oo niin kriittistä, jos lähteisiin on aina merkannut yhden tai useamman aihetägin? Hakuominaisuus on kuitenkin todella hyvä & lähteitä voi käsittääkseni hakea myös niiden tägien mukaan. Merkatut tägit myös säilyvät kopioidessa lähteitä toiseen paikkaan, kansiot ei.
Screenshot from Zoteros user guide which says: Collections and Tags Items in Zotero libraries can be organized with collections and tags. Collections allow hierarchical organization of items into groups and subgroups. The same item can belong to multiple collections and subcollections in your library at the same time. Collections are useful for filing items in meaningful groups (e.g., items for a particular project, from a specific source, on a specific topic, or for a particular course). You can import items directly to a specific collection or add them to collections after they are already in your library. Tags (often called “keywords” in other contexts) allow for detailed characterization of an item. You can tag items based on their topics, methods, status, ratings, or even based on your own workflow (e.g., “to-read”). Items can have as many tags as you like, and you can filter your library (or a specific collection) to show items having a specific set of one or more tags. Tags are portable, but collections are not. Copying items between Zotero libraries (My Library and group libraries) will transfer their tags, but not their collection placements. Both organizational methods have unique advantages and features. Experiment with both to see what works best for your own workflow.

As you see, on the left, the audience is giving their hearts to their leader, just as Elon is 'letting his heart go out' to his followers. Why are these damn woke people always ruining nice things? Clearly, this is just an innocent gesture of affection 🙄

Many period calendar apps are selling the data and the collected data could be used against the user (in the 🇺🇸, post-Roe world) but I found one that definitely does not, it's called "drip."

It's very simple, nothing fancy but it has all the essential features. I've been happy with it 🩸🗓️

#femTech
Screenshot of the 'About' page from the "drip." period calendar app. The page explains that user data is stored locally on the phone and not on a server, ensuring privacy. It advises users to export their data before switching or resetting their phone. Options like 'FAQ,' 'CALENDAR,' 'CHART,' and 'STATS' are displayed at the bottom of the screen."

Tämä oli mielenkiintoinen kysely, johon vastaamisen aikana pääsi pohtimaan syvällisiä kysymyksiä & jäsentämään omia ajatuksiaan elämän suurista kysymyksistä. Suosittelen vastaamaan tähän teologiseen tutkimukseen! Samalla sanoitat itsellesi ajatuksiasi elämän tarkoituksesta.

Tää tuntuu jotenkin laittomalta, että käyttäjä pakotetaan ohjelmistopäivityksen yhteydessä asentamaan jotain hämäriä sovelluksia Play-kaupan ulkopuolelta. Tätä vaihetta ei voi skipata ja se on naamioitu puhelimen optimoinniksi. Viimeksi oli pakko asentaa Temu, poistin heti.

Motorola never again! 🖕🏽🇺🇸
Kuvakaappaus puhelimen ruudulta ohjelmistopäivityksen yhteydessä tulleen laitteen "optimointi"-vaiheen osuudesta. Kyse on siis Motorolan pakollisen ohjelmistopäivityksen yhteydessä tulleesta puhelimen mukautusvaiheesta, jota ei pystynyt ohittamaan, ainoastaan siirtämään myöhemmäksi. Ruudun yläosassa lukee "Suositellut sovellukset" ja valmiiksi on valittu kolme epämääräistä sovellusta, joista kaksi on pelejä. Edellisen kerran yksi esivalinnoista oli Temu-sovellus. Käyttäjä on pakotettu asentamaan nämä esivalitut ohjelmat. Lisäksi ruudulla on kuusi muuta vapaasti valittavaa epäilyttävän näköistä sovellusta, josta kaikki vaikuttavat olevan jonkin kaltaisia pelejä. Näitä ei siis ole pakko asentaa. Kun painoin näkymän yläoikealla sijaitsevaa ruksia niin esille tuli ponnahdusikkukaa, jossa kysytään "Poistu sovelluksen määrityksestä?" ja sen alla on teksti: "Haluatko varmasti siirtää laitteesi uusien sovelluksien määrityksen myöhemmäksi?". Käyttäjä ei siis voi estää näitä sovelluksien asentamisia, ainoastaan siirtää myöhemmäksi. Jos tästä mukautusvaiheesta poistuu, push-viesteihin tulee jatkuvasti ilmoitus, joka kehottaa mukauttamaan ohjelmiston ja "ottamaan laitteesta kaiken irti". Tästä viestistä ei pääse eroon, se tulee niin kauan push-viesteihin kunnes esivalitut sovellukset on asennettu.

It seems that scammers have found their way on Bluesky 🙄 I've been contacted twice in a month. 1st by some account which I thought was a parody account but which turned out to be some weird cult leader I guess (she was sure the end was coming and she had the solution). 2nd time by a love scammer...
A screenshot of a direct message conversation I had here on Bluesky. I received a message from an account named 'mrs.bettybowers' discussing a 'global reset' and advising people to withdraw from the banking system and switch to a 'Quantum system' for safety. My response included humor and curiosity, referencing the irony of the account and questioning the cause of the claimed reset. The messages were so unhinged that I wasn't sure if the person was joking or not. A screenshot of a direct message conversation. The sender suggests installing Telegram or providing a WhatsApp number to receive information about a 'new quantum system.' I responded skeptically, suggesting the conversation is a scam and asking what the sender is up to. The sender replies defensively, asking me to stop using such language (hinting her to be a scammer). This is a classic example of how a love scammer would start a message. When I said I'm not falling for this kind of scam that there was nothing which indicated that this message was written to me personally and not sent to a hundred of others this "Brian" then called me slow and proceeded to mansplaining what women like me appreciated 🙄 What a gem, I truly lost an opportunity to meet my soulmate! This once again reminds me why it's a risk of being a woman on the internet... I've only seen as a woman if I have my real face here, maybe I too should switch to using a cartoon character as a profile picture 🫤 The two starting messages say: "i apologize for intruding on your privacy. they say a picture is worth a thousand words, but when I saw yours, it conveyed so much more than words ever could. your charming profile is truly irresistible! while it's a bit personal, your looks suggest you're a really nice person. i'd love to get to know you better—maybe as friends or even more. hope to hear from you sometime!"

Paketissa näkyy olevan Barbie-lyijykyniä, vaaleanpunainen terotin, pikkueläinpyyhekumeja, virkattu vihreä pompula, Yatsi-peli, erilaisia sukkia ja sormikkaita taiteltuina, heijastinperhonen, violetti pienipehmoeläin ja pitkävartiset kauniit villasukat.

Varmaan näistä syistä 👇🏽 Ja ymmärtääkseni BlueSkyin alku oli aika, ööh, kiimainen niin ehkä se on viittaus sen alkuaikoihin...? 😅
definition of the word 'skeet' from Merriam-Webster: "skeet noun: trapshooting in which clay pigeons are thrown in such a way to simulate the angles of flight of birds" Screenshot of a Wikipedia excerpt explaining why Bluesky posts are called "skeets." It states that users coined the term as a blend of "sky" and "tweets," but it is also a slang term for ejaculation. Despite CEO Jay Graber asking users not to call posts "skeets," the term has stuck. A hyperlink to the Bluesky Wikipedia page is included at the bottom.

I referred to the screenshot on the quoted skeet of another quoted skeet, this one:
Screenshot of a statement dated November 12, 2024, from President Donald J. Trump. It announces that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The department aims to dismantle bureaucracy, reduce regulations, cut wasteful spending, and restructure federal agencies as part of the 'Save America' movement. Musk is quoted as saying the changes will 'send shockwaves through the system.' Trump describes the initiative as potentially 'The Manhattan Project' of this era, focusing on structural reforms and entrepreneurial approaches to the government.

"[...]what is often missing from environmental campaigns is a hope for the future. Doom and gloom cause people to switch off. But nature is surprisingly resilient, and rebounds if given half a chance. What if movements led with a positive vision of clear water, clean air and birdsong?" #biodiversity
Picture of the headline and its headline picture of this news on The Guardian article as the link of this post leads to the web archive presenting this article and not to the Guardian website (as it requires registration which is annoying). In the picture there's two small orange frogs. One is sitting on a lily pad looking down to the other frog which has its two front paws on the leaf and is looking at the other frog.

Beautiful colors! What a show! This is from my backyard yesterday eve (from Eastern Finland, Savonlinna)
Landscape picture from my backyard at night time. In the picture, there's a neon green aurora (Käärijä's green) stretching across the sky. In the middle stands a young birch tree, with the Big Dipper star formation (Otava) visible above it. The picture is quite dark, but a hint of a kids' playhouse is visible on the left side of the birch. The horizon, marked by the forest's edge, lies under the green-lit sky. The aurora is vivid with distinct formations, creating a serene and mystical atmosphere. Variation from the same view with a different formation, this time the colors are lighter but have a hint of red and yellow.

As I took a break from the sauna to enjoy some fresh, cool air, I was greeted by this stunning aurora above our backyard ☺️ The green was so vivid it was visible to the naked eye—although, through the camera, it looked even more mesmerizing 😍💚💛💙❤️

Came across this gem on MuskTube/Shitmachine/ex-Twitter/X while looking who of the people I follow there would have joined here. Why do so many sain people still haven't changed into Bluesky? Are they on Mastodon or do they find it too hard to switch? Soon they'll be preaching just for the trolls.
