Muro deGrizecoSometimes, when someone expresses pain, It's good to simply acknowledge what they said, show our attention and empathy, then quietly remain in active listening.This is a simple helpful act.Caring about others, listening to what they are going through, ties us together as a community, builds our strength, is a weapon we can use in our struggle.<a href="https://toad.social/tags/musing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#musing</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/kindness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kindness</a>

Steve's PlaceI think of weird stuff. Timeline cleanser.Maybe the universe began as we'd deal with it. A tiny pellet (perhaps) of self-replicating building blocks, constructors accelerated to the speed of light, perhaps by one of them there laser-type thingies I done heard of, into a weightless vacuum in a gravity-less chamber with nothing to cause friction. And rig the building blocks to not make each other's acquaintance until the speed of light was achieved.Big bada boom.Oh, and make it all a simulation, so you can avoid the need for a *real* weightless, friction-less, gravity-less void. Conservation of energy would be important in a simulation of any kind.I wonder how one would make a fluctuation computer. 🤔 If there is a universe wherein someone invents a video game/simulation of another universe in such a manner, then there are many, many more such simulated universes than there are "real" ones, just as we have thousands of video games and simulations today.If we exist at all, we more likely exist in a simulated universe than in a real one, whatever that might be.Catholics reading this may need to go to confession this week."Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. I read the words at Steve's Place.""That creation of the universe crap?""Yes, Father.""Tell me, child, is that available in a bound volume, suitable for my coffee table, yet?"If brains can handle the input stream somehow, would the time dilation cause the observer to experience a lifetime in a much shorter period of time than in their external universe? That would extend lives. In other words, one might experience multiple simulated lifetimes in a lifetime in their external universe, just as we might play multiple video games in a day, week, month or year in ours, relative to the video game.Anyway, to my feeble mind, it would seem like you'd get a whole lot of mass and gravity for a wee bit of input, if you used self-replicating constructors in a similar fashion.I see where this presupposes initial building blocks capable of constructing living creatures as well as galaxies, stars and planets. Let's define living and creatures.I would think, if someone created a universe generating creatures similar in capability to yourselves, and this all were possible, that someone else might be capable of creating simulated universes inside of simulated universes. Talk about extending lives. Heck, that might be the point of a universe, though it seems like the point of this universe is fight club.But, not being a physicist, this is science fiction and I probably should write a book, lol!<a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/BadShowerPhysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BadShowerPhysics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#physics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/astrophysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophysics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/musing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#musing</a>

MissConstrueI am facing an ethical conundrum, which as an ethicist, is uncomfortable. I’m generally pretty good at discerning what is “right”, but also, at core, I am a chaotic paladin with a traumatic backstory, and less than forgiving of certain things than others might be. All of the people I would generally turn to in cases of ethical discomfort are either involved or know the people involved, and for various reasons, secrecy has become paramount for many of them. All of which to say, morals are hard, and sometimes following them may mean losing friends. I don’t like this timeline, and would very much like to be placed in the happy space socialist timeline please. <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ethics</a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/musing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#musing</a>

OCTADEI have been building scripts to automate some tasks including managing my interface with this ActivityPub server. I want to push a single button or enter one command to publish notes and files via several protocols and have each reference link to all. The protocols include: 1. ActivityPub (Mastodon, this server) 2. Preprints / TechRXIV / Zenodo / Figshare, etc. 3. NNTP / Usenet 4. Static Web Site 5. Blog 6. BlueSky 7. Archive.org 8. PHP Blog / Wordpress / Blogger 9. P2P network(s) 10 ... ??? Still working out the elsewhere(s) and how and whyfor. The Internet is so full of disparate platforms and protocols that I am almost tempted to just manage a static website like in the good old days of web 1.0 or even web 1/2 and forget about everything else except that and the Internet Archive and Usenet. I miss the old days where one could put up a static site and push a link and description into a chat room or forum and watch the site get hammered for fifteen minutes. Twenty years ago I ran a rant site that got hundreds of visits per day and I was quite happy with that. Nowadays there is so much going on that even 1000 real human page views in a month is sometimes too much to expect. Why would anyone want to look at my silly essays or PDF files when every day is Caturday or Saturdog with infinite memes and endless rage outlets? Why read about my strange musings and puzzles when there are endless memes about the empire and the endless bogeymen out to eat us all? Yet I cast my runes out upon the rivers of ether anyway; just in case someone seeks to get high on a supply of digits. <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=automation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Automation</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=publishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Publishing</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=scripting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Scripting</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=notes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Notes</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=musing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Musing</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=microblog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Microblog</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=octade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OCTADE</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/selfhosting" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@selfhosting@a.gup.pe</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/writers" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@writers@a.gup.pe</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/writing" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@writing@a.gup.pe</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/infostorm" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@infostorm@a.gup.pe</a>

DecathlonistI've been watching a long retrospective on Ultima Underworld: Stygian Abyss on Youtube.I quite liked the game, I bought it new when it was published and played it quite much. I never finished it, though - it was a long game and got quite hard in the end.The video made me think about how the game has quite a lot of freedom, but also responsibility. The maker of the video talks about how you can make the game unwinnable easily.1/n<a href="https://kamu.social/tags/games" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#games</a> <a href="https://kamu.social/tags/UltimaUnderworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UltimaUnderworld</a> <a href="https://kamu.social/tags/musing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#musing</a>

Em-squaredThinking about the period I was involved in a fledgling Timebank. Kinda failed as the council stopped funding the voluntary group.

ItWasntMe223I have thought about it for awhile. One thing that I have noticed about Japanese media is that no matter how ridiculous some of their ideas are (Sport girls driving tanks, characters that turn into warships, etc) the reason that it works is that they don't skimp on character development. They make you fall in love with the characters so you are happy to forgive the abject ridiculousness of it all. Something I think we can all learn (especially me who struggles sometimes with characters. lol ) <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/musing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#musing</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writingcommunity</a>

freetobemeI tell myself, every morning, when I wake to find my dog curled beside me, snoring, and loud, that I must write something; prove, if only to myself, I still exist. Summer was long, and difficult, but I took well to counselling, and am so resolute to continue that though my funded sessions were but ten, I am now paying. We talk about the future, and a land where I am free. That land seems so close, until I leave the office. Maybe it only lives in there. As do I. <a href="https://mastodon.vanlife.is/tags/counselling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#counselling</a> <a href="https://mastodon.vanlife.is/tags/musing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#musing</a>
