I’m open to change/revise the rules. I mean, it is meant for the community. Guess people can vote on your initial comment if they agree with you and with enough, I’ll remove it. Won’t negotiate on the “No AI” though. I want to promote/inspire creativity and artistic expression.
I am a creative soul. Materials are but a medium for creativity. All my content is created with FOSS , and the operating system I’m using is Linux Mint. I am not a professional and I am learning as go.

I’m a big FOSS user and endorser, partly why I want the software used to be non proprietary. But maybe it can also inspire some to give these applications an honest go.
Wow that name invokes more than I feel it should, especially since it refers to continued Usenet adoption. Eternal September.
Clear and honest communication.
Preferably if possible well before, if we are talking about in a relationship/friendship/coworker. Most people can empathise. But empathy is ultimately based on our own experiences because that’s all we know of, and this goes for all feelings.
Even if the person is not aware of your responses to what ever situation it might be, but it is one that “triggers” a stress response etc. As Clear and concise communication as possible in the situation is always best. But I would refrain from framing the persons unconscious behaviours or normal bodily functions in a way that makes the person feel responsible. Unless they have actually tried to agitate. Since their response most likely would be a defensive one, and thus not helpful for the situation and future dialogue.
So my recommendation would be something along the lines of: I’m feeling really stressed right now and need to collect my thoughts. I need a moment alone.
And try to leave the situation if you can, before asking others to leave.
Try to use broadly relatable language such as stress and anxiety. If it is a person that is not familiar with your need and responses, to help them empathise.
This isn’t a silver bullet, but it will lessen the risk of confrontational responses.
The door is not locked. You can go through it. I don’t know the specifics regarding how the door ended up there but It was intentionally placed there as a art installation. Since it is a national park / nature reserve it would have been illegal to just leave it. Also it is attaches to concrete foundations
This is a art piece(Skåneledsdörren) in Klåveröds nature reserve in Scania Sweden. The door was originally a prop in a movie. The place is amazing and part of a trecking path that goes across the “skåneleden” a nature track going through large part of Scania. This picture is taken about 100meters from the parking and info sign.

Gardening•Are they still wild strawberries if I grew them in a pot? Or are they more like semi-feral strawberries? 😜😂English
2·16 days agoWe call them “Smultron” in Sweden and they are just what strawberries where before cultivation. My garden is full of them.
This is genius, schoolbook designs. I would guess that 90-00s multi-layered rectangles some with random pictures some monocoloured are pretty universal.

Today I Learned•TIL "prop" in film and theater is short for "property"English
3·27 days agoThis intrigued me, but I can’t find any information about this. Except that on smaller productions especially back in the day, actors and actresses often worked in the prop department as well.
To have goats is a dream of mine. They are one of the coolest, and cutest animals. They do parkour, chew them selves through cars and can scale virtually vertical cliffs.
Nah, hers is cuter. She did get jealous when I gave cuddles to the buck, though

Technology•Faceless creators are becoming collateral damage in YouTube’s AI cleanupEnglish
3·2 months agoOuf… I do that sometimes when writing guides or argumentative articles/texts. As a “this is relevant now for for this, but I will explain further later” or “this is relevant now, and I must explain it now so everything makes sense”. Especially if the subject does not require a section of its own, but its understanding is a prerequisite to understanding the wider point.

Europe@feddit.org•Europeans Are Quiet Quitting the United StatesEnglish
3·2 months agoI took it one step further and try my darndest to choose local products where possible, and if not, smaller EU businesses. Unilever, mondeles, nestlé, etc are companies I now try to actively avoid. Because once we loose the small actors we no longer have any choice left at all. Unfortunately the end game for unregulated markets always end up with monopoles. I know our EU market is regulated, but the enforcement against the actors invested in anti-compeditive behaviours are pretty toothless in my opinion.
Must say the local/small alternatives are actually in most cases better. Ritter Sport chocolate is in my opinion more tasty than marabou and better size. The local ice cream producers also have more interesting options, and Arvid Nordquist coffee taste better. What I am trying to say is that I’m not missing out quite the opposite.























I actually thought about that, and save for having a dead drop, there is no way around sharing at least an address or PO box. I didn’t put the logistics in the post, but setting up the shipment would preferably be set up over email. Which can easily be done with PGP. Even if there was a service that would ensure a package reaching its intended recipient without the sender knowing the destination, the middleman needs to be trusted. But I completely understand your hesitation, and no offense taken. I mean, I’m basically a random person on the internet.
