I would like to meet the designer and congratulate them, because this is perfection. The nasty judgmental look of the crow is amazing. No notes.

@stephaniewalter my assumption is that the damage to the sign coating was itself caused by crows.

@stephaniewalter that look says "they might try to sell you crypto"

Ohsin

@stephaniewalter I can imagine a smartass crow seeing this and wondering "Are we the baddies?"

I learned how to make bottle caps! Now, get actual red ones, and make a few hundred for next ComicCon

@logzinga
Of course, it's the second part that would get the post flagged on the dead parrot site.

There are two hard problems in Computer Science:
1) People are the hardest problem in Computer Science;
2) Convincing people that people are the hardest problem in Computer Science.

Not getting overconvinced about one's own views might be the 3rd.

@sleepyfox and the fact that messy reality often doesn’t match oversimplified ideas a computer scientist might have about something, but I guess that fits into these

Citroen SM concept car just released 😍
Oh my dears, is that fantastic?

Speaking of which weren't the 70-80s bonkers for saloons with Citroen shoe-horning a Maserati engine in their SM and then Lancia a Ferrari engine in their Thema 8.32?

@Natasha_Jay Changing those rear tyres is going to be a *pain*

@Natasha_Jay oh wow! This is _amazing_. Sadly, it’s a concept so the chances of that car actually happening in this form are slim :(

I managed to get forth code written in the 90s for a powerstation to compile and run natively on my macbook today. I'm incredibly surprised both that i got that to work and that I'm in this situation....

It's several hundred folks - so if you had followed me for whatever reason before (and still want to) can you please check and refollow?

Sorry about this, user error - mea culpa πŸ™

This is not a chart depicting Moore’s Law.

This chart is the CRAYOLA COROLLARY showing that the number of Crayola crayon colors doubles approximately every 18 years.

a chart that starts in 1903 with only 8 crayon colors (black, brown, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple red) that shows the number of colors doubling (the colors themselves subdivide on the chart at each year marker) in 1935 and again in 1945m 1958m 1972m 1990, 1998, and 2010 until there are hundreds of colors

Trying to find people I relate to on Mastodon. Please boost if you:

-don't believe in the Pythagorean theorem.

-once saw a psychic who told you that you will die at an all you can eat buffet.

-think that cops should give you one chance to rock, paper, scissors your way out of a speeding ticket.

-microdose bananas to keep your potassium levels stable.

-constantly say sorry whenever you're walking just in case you bump into a ghost.

Maybe not that, but they should definitely let you off with a warning if you've got some niche things in common.

Looking at you, officer who wrote me a ticket then tried to bond with me over my Dead Can Dance bumper sticker.

I wonder if linux audiophiles are a thing.

"plain ALSA sounds warmer than pipewire"

"linux kernel compiled with ALSR makes for a more chaotic high end"

"ext2 sounds better than ext4"

@vidister the conversations below remind me that someone did make an ffmpegFS module. github.com/nschlia/ffmpegfs read-only FS in tandem with ffmoeg to dynamically transcode media.

@vidister@chaos.social monsieur @skobkin@lor.sh (with a stress on the "i") might enjoy this tread as much as I did

@Melissabeartrix actually, I eject and wait, and then I forget that it's still plugged into my hub, and MacOS automatically mounts it and I don't notice and then MacOS chastises me for not unmounting it. So both answers.

Allen

@Melissabeartrix No. I've only ever had it be an issue one time, but that issue led to days of work to correct.

Bear in mind, I worked in IT where I was doing this several times per day. It's probably even less likely to be an issue for the average user.

You have to know that if it’s labelled with these ancient stressed-plastic stickers, this is like seeing a url with a tilde in it. This is where the old magic lives, this is the good shit.

@mhoye are you sure you're actually in a hotel?

@mhoye Someday I will move my techblog to a new host, and when I do I will be very tempted to preserve the '~cks/' bit for various reasons.

@mhoye Looks like that data port has no connector... Is this the /dev/null equivalent of Ethernet?

Hello from Rogart. I’ve dyed more wool, with lichens. I’ve had things in jars, with ammonia, since March. The pale purple is oak moss, (in the jar) collected from trees in the hay park. The vibrant purple is cud bear, collected bit by bit, over a long period of time, mostly knocked off rocks by sheep...

A kilner jar filled with green lichen.
A ball of vibrant purple wool, a skein of pale purple wool, a ball of white wool & a ball of grey wool.
A steaming pan of purple dye with a skein of wool & a wooden spoon.
