since the slow loading issues were resolved: using the default browser UI — every time i open dbzer0 in a new tab in Firefox — the page will appear as if i'm signed out.

i can fix this by hard refreshing, except on /posts. if i open a /post in a tab where i appear signed in, it loads correctly.

sometimes this happens on the subscribed feed page, where i seem signed out but i see someone else's subscriptions, but with my votes indicated. when i'm stuck like this, /unread_count is still polled for my account.

this doesn't happen to me on other instances.

i was walking along some bushes when a bird flew out from a bush in front of my path into a grass clearing. it was a very small crow. it made two quiet, short, high-pitched peeps in rapid succession, hopping in circles. i tried to walk around it, but it kept blocking my path and making the exact same peeps at me.

i got back on the stone path, and it hopped up right next to me, and starting ripping up grass and throwing it over my feet. i chuckled, and it stopped, looked up at me, and… peeped again, before continuing to bury my feet in grass.

i continued walking and it followed right next to me till the end of the path before watching me walk away and then returning to its bush.

i didn't recognise this bird, or seen a bird do this to me or anyone else before. i'm on especially friendly terms with the corvids in my neighbourhood, but they don't normally approach me.

any ideas? have you seen something similar?

Today EU governments will not adopt their position on the EU regulation on “combating child sexual abuse”, the so-called chat control regulation, as planned, which would have heralded the end of private messages and secure encryption. The Belgian Council presidency postponed the vote at short notice.
