In-reply-to » Fell into a bit of a rabbit hole and learned that it took German law until 2008 to actually allow unisex/gender-neutral first names: https://www.bundesverfassungsgericht.de/entscheidungen/rk20081205_1bvr057607.html 🤦

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

I reckon up until then you had to have another first name that clearly differentiated.

Yes, apparently so. (I’m glad we stopped doing that. I don’t get this obsession with the contents of other people’s pants. 🤢)

Now I’m wondering, was that also the beginning when parents started giving their kids really weird names?

Did this ever happen or was this an urban myth? Would have to dig up some statistics, I guess. (Anecdotal evidence: None of the people I know gave their kids crazy names. šŸ˜†)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I reckon up until then you had to have another first name that clearly differentiated. Didn’t read through the court decision, though.

Interesting, I always thought that Kiran was a male first name. But I only know one person with that name. As last name, though.

Now I’m wondering, was that also the beginning when parents started giving their kids really weird names?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de if they haven’t, I would recommend a ā€œsubtleā€ nudge. You know, like leaving an advert flier at their door for a ā€œBasic English (including swearing words!) for Dummiesā€ book, or something like that. :-D :-P

@bender@twtxt.net Thanks for letting me know it was Mobile Safari! I just did some testing real quick and things are not working very well šŸ¤” I think I’ve introduced some regressions last night as I was putting this into prod šŸ˜… services me right for late-night deployment 🤣 I’ve taken it down for now, will spend a bit more time on testing making sure things all work properly!

In-reply-to » What a beautiful, beautiful 0°C Sunday arvo and evening! The weather forecast delayed the snow by the minute. An hour or so after it finally started very, very lightly, I headed off for the woods to check out the lake again. Unfortunately, with the fresh snow layer, the crazy wild surface texture of the ice sheet wasn't visible anymore. But it brought some other nice views and photo opportunities.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org totally adore the eerie look of some of them. Very well done!

In-reply-to » @lyse Ohh, Winter Wonderland. Lovely!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I was also extremely surprised and couldn’t believe it myself. But around the hair were definitely two, three millimeters of ice with a bunch of snow on top. I couldn’t simply brush it off, the hair were all frozen together. Back in the house, it took maybe three minutes to melt the solidified white stuff and free up and disconnect the individual hair. Crazy.

Yeah, 0°C in town, maybe -2°C on the summit. It definitely didn’t feel all the cold, but I came prepared with a few layers of cloth.

Never had frozen hair. 😳 With just around 0°C? šŸ¤”

@movq@www.uninformativ.de my mum, who hand washed clothes for many, many years, would stare at you, incredulously, and tell you, ā€œhave fun with that!ā€. Hand washing a ton of clothes, including sheets, etc., is a royal, glorious, pain! Now drying it, when you live on the land of eternal sunshine, is a different matter.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Maybe ask the guys at CERN whether you can quickly put your soaking wet stuff in their Laundry deHumidifying Centrifuge every so often.

In-reply-to » @bender Fixed 🤣 Nobody was following that feed šŸ˜… yarnd had no reason to "pull" it in.

@bender@twtxt.net Only missing roots would trigger that kind of sync IIRC. And that only works if another peering pod has the root twt. What you’re remembering, possibly, is an attempt to do what you were thinking of… But I tried it, turned out to be too expensive of an operation to do auotmatically.
