Even een reminder dat dankzij de inflatie de brandstof rond de eeuwwisseling het duurst was en nu op het niveau van de 80er jaren zit.

Please help Nouran and her family if you can.
They need your help to cover their everyday needs as Israel’s genocide and famine continues to ravage Gaza.

Schade, dass dieser Offene Brief an Merz die #DigitaleGewalt nur im Netz erwähnt, aber nicht die, die in (Ex-)Partnerschaften stattfindet. Die digitale Seite der 'häuslichen Gewalt'.
Manipulation, Kontrolle, Kameras, Mikros, Zugriff auf Accounts, Chats, usw.
Das darf nicht immer übersehen werden.

Hey @… I was just listening to the great literary olfactoloy episode with @allylouks.bsky.social€, but I feel that the existence/role of human pheromones has been a bit misrepresented.
I have worked on mammalian pheromones for my PhD, and I have encountered (at least) two major definitions of the term "pheromone", one based on the function of a substance, and the other, which I personally prefer, on the information flow involved in it (https://doi.org/10.1159/000096511).
Based on the Sbarbati & Osculati definition, a pheromone would be a component that conveys information between individuals of the same species.
There is also quite a bit of research that argues for the existence of human pheromones (e.g. https://doi.org/10.1002/ar.a.20125, https://doi.org/10.1002/ar.a.20125, https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1198331)
However, the discussion on the existence of human pheromones is difficult, as it touches on the topic of free will as many reactions to odor are involuntary. During the International Symposium on Olfaction and Taste held in Iceland in 2024, there have been several session on human olfaction touching on sensitive aspects such as olfaction-mediated effects on mate choice and pregnancy, but none of the researchers dared utter the word pheromone, while colleagues working on other mammals where happily talking about pheromonal effects for very similar topics.
Long story short, I feel that saying there is no hard evidence for human pheromones is misrepresenting the current research.

I wrote about frictionlessness and "AI". The essay is admittedly a bit of a weird ride trying to connect a few very distinct thoughts. I hope it's still worth reading.

Heute das Spiel „Death's Door“ auf dem Steam Deck mit ca. 24 Stunden Spielzeit durchgespielt und kann es wärmstens weiterempfehlen!
Als „Soulslike“ ist es stellenweise nicht leicht, aber machbar. Die Grafik ist sehr schick, das Kampfsystem ist einfach, aber spaßig und es gibt nette Rätselelemente.
Aktuell gibt es „Death's Door“ für 3,90 € im Angebot auf Steam – absolute Kaufempfehlung!
