Do I personally need this in my linkbox? Not particularly- it's not like I forget where this is, but I figure for the tiny handful of weirdos who keep me in their feed readers, maybe they would like to know. ;)

As the end of the season approached, I lamenting it passing by with no summertime adventures to refill my outdoor-spirit cup. Then a friend introduced the idea of microadventures, and it saved my summer.

Restricted interpersonal touch experiences, for instance due to COVID-19 social distancing measures, result in detrimental effects on anxiety, loneliness and psychological well-being. Yet, interventi...

todo: track down which tutorial I bastardized for my current go-to style

Site owner is explicitly friendly to people regardless of faith or lackthereof, though they do assume you're a woman. I vaguely recall in semiprivate discussions (was this in the pagan veiling discord/reddit?) they were cool with men/etc too, but that was just too uncommon a thing to merit commenting on, or something along those lines.

Aimed at international students.

Ah, yes, test the surveillance tech in a town with 7x more Indigenous people than the national average (percentagewise). Of course, where else would you trial something so controversial and creepy. Siiiigh. (I think it's curious I hadn't heard a word about this until now.)

I am cackling at the "drugphone and saladphone" tips. Admittedly, I effectively did the same thing...but I didn't call it that.

Has that weird "immersive article experience" thing if you view in a featureful web browser. Also a few of the usual mainstream coverage of technical topics, eye-twitch-inducing traits.

Senator Carr talking about banning mobility devices.

Unless you need it, you may not know about it. But Travellers Aid is a much-needed cog in Victoria's public transport system, helping more than 110,000 people a year.

Helpfully lists the ~demands~ requirements of studying at TAFE. I suspect some of these will be easier to dodge than others, and I want very little of it touching my network. :)

Used for the TAFE student ID card, which at best is only required for most TAFE services, and at worst is required to go onto the campus.

Holy privacy nightmare batman.

Thanks, TAFE. Very cool.

Cake, a footrub, and tidying up after? Yes please.

Also there's sex that happens in here too I guess.

Can I go to the bathroom during the LLND?

Using the bathroom before beginning your assessment is recommended. However, you can take bathroom breaks if needed. Request permission from your moderator first, and for Online Monitored Assessments, keep breaks brief and infrequent to avoid triggering a potential breach.

The surveillance aspects are creepy as hell, especially given that the options for on-campus assessments are so limited. Already I'm pretty sure my accessibility tools would get flagged, but I'm offended they think they can tell me when I can piss in my own damn home.

This is the closest to AI criticism the ABC wants to get... but hey, it's something.

The Social Smolnet par Ploum - Lionel Dricot.

Science Gallery Melbourne’s latest free exhibition EMERGENCE[Y] explores how we adapt to a rapidly changing world.

From October 1, free COVID-19 vaccines will still be available for:

• Adults 75 and over (two doses per year, about six months apart)
• Adults 65–74 years (one dose per year)
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 50–74 years (one dose per year)
• Adults aged 18–64 years with severely immunocompromising conditions (one dose per year). This includes people with chronic kidney disease on dialysis and people with leukaemia.

AI-generated cover image, author provides slopcode to implement their idea, and I am fairly confident the text of the article is not human-written.

The core ideas here are something I want to revisit with my filthy human hands.

How I fought my smartphone addiction par Ploum - Lionel Dricot.

Deep inside Spain’s Cova Dones, archaeologists have uncovered evidence of an organized Roman-era cult involving women, ritual offerings, and a mysterious goddess whose worshippers knew her simply by a powerful title: Domina, “the Lady.”

Some really interesting perspectives in this thread.

Asexual people have been near-universally the kinkiest suckers I have ever met. Focusing less on physical attraction to bodies and more on the subjects and actions surrounding the concept of sex would do that to you.

Where have I heard this before...
