#data portability

[macmanx]

The walled gardens of social media proprietary web builders make it much harder for their users to take the content they created and own and do whatever they want with it. And that is why I’m so excited about WordPress’ Data Liberation Project.

Oh hey! I just realized something!

We all thought online learning would be the end of snow days, but the massive snow storm just knocked out my college's online services and assignments are getting postpones because we can't fucking turn them in. Technology will get more advanced and hardy, but the storms will get 💖worse!💖

Snow and snow days FOREVERRRR (well until we melt or freeze to death)

So many people do not understand the relationship between climate change and cold weather.

I keep posting (and then deleting the post) about this~~~ can't make up my mind what do I do plz help~~~

I keep posting about this and deleting it cause I genuinely don't know what to do here~~~ idk what I want~~~

whether I want a bigger screen and better battery life, the ability to dock it to the tv if I wanted to (which I rarely do tbh), or portability.

I'm once again making a post about whether I want to use the switch lite or the oled~~~

had an OG switch, got sucked into buying (and paying scalpers for) a coral switch lite after I got mom one, then cause the bigger screen (and bigger screen means bigger text for my visually impaired butt) I splurged on an oled and gave mom my og switch.....

now I've got an oled switch, and a switch lite.....

I want to use the switch lite cause it's more easily portable than the oled is~~ and its 200 grams lighter~~ and has a d pad~~~ and the screen is more crisp cause it's smaller and the same resolution~~~ but the battery is garbage~~ and I paid scalpers for it during covid when the coral one was released~~~

I feel like I should use it just cause I paid scalpers for it.

also if I do this rip animal crossing island I just started

:(

cause I no longer have online nor another account to use the transfer tool that's available....

hope I find a similar one~~~

got a question tho~~~ how many times can I do this if I can't make up my mind? is it an infinite number of times? or is there a limit to jumping back and forth like this?

only got one account~~~

rip rosewood~~~ went ahead and transferred user data~~~ switch lite let's go~~~

Consumer Privacy Update: What Organizations Need to Know About Impending State Privacy Laws Going into Effect in 2024 and 2025

Over the past several years, the number of states with comprehensive consumer data privacy laws has increased exponentially from just a handful—California, Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, and Utah—to up to twenty by some counts. Many of these state laws will go into effect starting Q4 of 2024 through 2025. We have previously written in more detail on New Jersey’s comprehensive data privacy law,…

Switching PeerTube instances

I've moved from the Diode Zone instance of PeerTube to MakerTube - here's how and why.

I’m all-in on the Fediverse as the best way to own my own data and network. It’s based on an open standard (ActivityPub), loosely-coupled and open source services, and everyday people (and, it isn’t subject to the whims of lying, narcissistic billionaires). You can think of it as the next iteration of the open web, with social features baked in. I’ve got a number of accounts that correspond with…

"Calling it “a fridge to bridge the world,” the Thermavault can use different combinations of salts to keep the contents at temperatures just above freezing or below it. Some vaccines require regular kitchen fridge temps, while others, or even transplant organs, need to be kept below freezing, meaning this versatility is a big advantage for the product’s overall market demand.

Dhruv Chaudhary, Mithran Ladhania, and Mridul Jain are all children of physicians or medical field workers in the [city] of Indore. Seeing how difficult it was to keep COVID-19 vaccines viable en route to countryside villages hours outside city centers in tropical heat, they wanted to create a better, portable solution to keeping medical supplies cool.

Because salt molecules dissolve in water, the charged ions that make up the salt molecules break apart. However, this separation requires energy, which is taken in the form of heat from the water, cooling it down.

Though the teen team knew this, it remained a challenge to find which kind of salt would have the optimal set of characteristics. Though sodium chloride—our refined table salt—is what we think of when we hear the word “salt,” there are well over one-hundred different chemical compounds that classify as salt.

“While we did scour through the entire internet to find the best salt possible, we kind of just ended up back to our ninth-grade science textbook,” Chaudhary told Business Insider.

Indeed, the professors at the lab in the Indian Institutes of Technology where they were testing Thermavault’s prototype were experimenting with two different salts which ended up being the best available options, a discovery made after the three teens tested another 20, none of which proved viable.

These were barium hydroxide octahydrate and ammonium chloride. The ammonium chloride alone, when dissolved, cooled the water to between 2 and 6 degrees Celsius (about 35 to 43 degrees Fahrenheit) perfect for many vaccines, while a dash of barium hydroxide octahydrate dropped that temperature to below freezing.

“We have been able to keep the vaccines inside the Thermavault for almost 10 to 12 hours,” Dr. Pritesh Vyas, an orthopedic surgeon who tested the device at V One hospital in Indore, said in a video on the Thermavault website.

Designing a prototype, the teens have already tested it in local hospitals, and are in the process of assembling another 200 for the purpose of testing them in 120 hospitals around Indore to produce the best possible scope of use and utility data for a product launch.

Their ingenuity and imagination won them the 2025 Earth Prize, which came with a $12,500 reward needed for this mass testing phase."
