Like, we have a roof, and a balcony - though the latter is covered with the grapevine I've been lovingly training along it the last few years 😅

We're considering it, but getting a big, proper setup seems to be a big project right now - it doesn't seem much use for household power without a hefty battery, and suddenly we're at €€€€€€.

I suspect some year we'll move from gas to a heat pump, and at that point start considering solar for the home.

Like I know that even with a few years of driving with satnav/Google maps, I stopped planning out journeys or really remembering how to get places unless they were extremely regular visits. I could zone out and not pay attention to signs or junction numbers any more.

Youngest asks me if people can be deaf and blind, I was like "Yes they can. Can you imagine not being able to see or hear? They have a special sign language that's by touch."

I went looking for a video and found that in America at least, it was finger spelling until a 'pro-tactile' way of speaking ASL developed quite recently. Here Oscar says that it's "like going from dial up to broadband!":

Mehrmals die letzten Paar Wochen bin ich mit ein Kind beim Fußgängerüberweg-Ampel und müssen warten, bis ein Auto oder LKW vorbei rast, auch wenn für uns die Ampel schon längst Grün für uns gewechselt ist.

I'm actually kind of livid about this, please lift your accelerator foot on amber, not push it down. You could kill someone.

The case itself is smart, can charge wirelessly (maybe they always could), and makes cute little bleep bloop noises to tell me I've put the buds back in correctly.

I even get a little chime to tell me they're inserted well into my ears.

It feels veeeeery futuristic to me, who has been holding onto wired earphones longer than apparently everyone else.

So that's got me thinking, what else am I just not quite understanding about today's tech because I'm purposefully avoiding it?

Just had a strange little thought.

The way I bought my newest phone, a pair of Bluetooth earbuds came bundled free. I was considering selling them, but eh, they were free and let's try.

Welp, I've been avoiding these things because I've purposefully until now picked phones with headphone jacks (I've finally had to give in, like I did re physical buttons and overall handset size), and now they're quite advanced.

They hold good charge, and have have plenty recharges packed into the case.

And Léonie Watson (npub1tsg…0qlp) continued about the flaws of gAI - but now we're on image description, which truly is a good use of AI. It offers a lot more independence for people with visual impairments.

Léonie can hammer AI to find out more about all sorts of pictures, even old photos from her past. This way she can get a much richer understanding about what's in that picture, in a way that she hasn't before, as she feels less keen to keep asking a friend questions, imposing on their time and generosity.

Rats, brought a physical paper book I was looking forward to reading, turns out it's actually book 3 in a series of 5! So I'm not starting that now until I've read the first two.

This is however a win, firstly wahoo! a new science fiction series to plough through! And secondly (and more exciting) more hitherto unknown books by Terry Pratchett!

Medical blood pressure PSA:

Are you overweight? Does your blood pressure read high? Does your upper arm hurt when it's measured?

The more overweight I've become, the more I've grown to fear BP measurements, because it always hurts quite a lot. I can feel the anxiety rising as the cuff is strapped on. Then I get higher heart rate and BP readings than when I am relaxed.

I guess something about a fatter arm means it hurts much more to get to similar pressure levels?

It's a known thing.

When I remember to check, I remember there are so many other post replies I'm not seeing in threads here, until I open the OP page on their own instance. I forget how limited it can be.

In some ways the calm is nice, but also it gives me FOMO. Is this something that can or will ever get tackled on the Fediverse?

I mean I guess we do some too, but most of the grass is taken care of by an almost silent robot lawnmower, and the edges done in 10 mins every couple of weeks with a strimmer.

Today I was muting my work meeting constantly because of someone cutting tiles or slabs or something nearby...

isn't that effectively what the early May bank holiday is? The UK tends to move them around so you always get a bank holiday and always a long weekend.

In Germany the holiday falls wherever it falls, if it's in a weekend then tough, and you don't get a day off in lieu. Or it worse, it falls on a Saturday meaning all shops are closed all day Saturday AND Sunday.

The fun thing is you can see this effect when you are looking in one direction and then move your eyes to look at a watch or clock with a second hand.

Sometimes, you'll see the second hand look like it's in the first position you see for a little longer than a second, because your brain has backfilled that period where your eyes were moving.

Super weird.

And I hate to say it because we all have wonderful bodies and mine has done great things, but the very slow and apparently inevitable increase in weight and dress size really was getting me down in a way I wasn't fully aware of.

Even though I'm visually still exactly the same and wearing all the same clothes, looking in the mirror is just a lot more positive than it was a few weeks ago.

It's hope. It's always hope. We don't only need love, we need hope too. It improves every aspect of life.
