@eyeling Any interest in picking up an instrument? Could be fun to dive into ukelele or learn to play trumpet. Could be a neat way to get her connected to other folks once she's off the couch.
@I_am_a_plant
I was about to make the exact same suggestion with the exact same rationale.

@eyeling@afranke @I_am_a_plant That mental image. Thank you XD
But no. Not an option. So much not an option. I did mention "bloodshed" earlier. -
May I tap into Mastodon's hive mind?
A dear person in our circle had a complicated meniscus surgery. She's very extroverted and doesn't deal well with being sofa-bound, barred from all pasttimes she loves (her beauty business, cooking).
Do you folks have recommendations for activities in coming weeks/months, when she's faced with a lot of alone time? Otherwise there might be bloodshed in the family.(P.S.: Reading and crafts probably aren't her thing. Though we will suggest it).
@eyeling Family/local friends visiting her for video or boardgame evenings to make up for daytime alone-ness? You might be doing that already...
...Now if she were interested in table top RPGs, particularly being GM, that would have great potential. Prep would fill some of the alone-time, and then there'd be the social aspect of actual game night/afternoon/whatever...Otherwise seconding looking for Twitch channels that interest her.

@eyeling sorry for your friend, that sounds tough.
Would she like to use her hands instead: polyhedral origami are fun challenges (and provide great conversations topics), nature drawing is also a nice hobby to catch especially when one is stuck at a fixed point (because it is not about beauty or art but about noticing metadata over time so it can be about documenting the sky or a specific tree) and if she is crafty crochet is quite hyping at the moment (great for crafting accessories)

@Maker Sounds heavenly to me. However, I don't think it's her thing. We'll recommend it, though.

@commonflowergirl That's a good suggestion. It's interactive and involves direct contact to others fot the sake of it.
@eyeling Idk if there's a like, a beauty category? but there's a Cooking/Food category and I know of people who do like body painting streams. Or if Twitch isn't their cup of tea, there's plenty of YouTube livestreamers. I personally just have experience with Twitch!

The support for #MathML in browser is often poor. The fact that instead of improving it the developers seem to be instead pressuring the standard bodies to impoverish the language only makes this worse.
(I am aware of #MathJax. We shouldn't need a heavy-duty #JavaScript library to solve typesetting problems. That's exactly what browser engines are there fore.)
I weep for the status of scientific publishing in the modern world.
(This rant is offered by my experience looking for options to make the SPHERIC newsletter available both in PDF and in HTML form. I don't even need complex math usually,, we try to avoid it in contributions because it's hard to typeset math outside of the TeX world. But the fact that in 2026 online the only safe way seems to be to typeset everything manually or rely on huge JavaScript libraries is a little depressing.)

Ogni ho fatto una sostituzione in un paese non lontano da casa, paese che conosco bene. E non potevo non fare la foto alla chiesa principale che ogni volta mi ricorda il prete robot di Futurama (e potrebbe anche concorrere per il prossimo calendario di @ChieseBrutte )

TerminalPhone
Encrypted push-to-talk voice communication over Tor hidden services.
TerminalPhone is a single, self-contained Bash script that provides anonymous, end-to-end encrypted voice and text communication between two parties over the Tor network. It operates as a walkie-talkie: you record a voice message, and it is compressed, encrypted, and transmitted to the remote party as a single unit. You can also send encrypted text messages during a call. No server infrastructure, no accounts, no phone numbers. Your Tor hidden service .onion address is your identity.

@dalias
Come on guys, we sit on mastodon lamenting the sorry state of the world, and then everyone signs into an amazon account??? If our actions are to give money to an organization that aggressively works to destroy the middle class and liberal democracies world wide, then our words are meaningless... :-/Quoting The Disposable Heroes of Hip-Hopricy: hypocrisy is the greatest luxury....
