Will miss the #retrocomputing community on Twitter but many if not most people I followed there have made it over to Mastodon

@thomasfuchs It could turn out to be a good thing in the end. Change can be good. I'm still trying to figure Mastodon out.

My wife ordered a lens from Ukraine and it came with this stamp

Just so you know, in this "pandemic is over" times my wife just got admitted to the hospital (pain management after broken leg surgery) and it took hours to get a room.

Because rooms are all full.

Because Covid.

@thomasfuchs the pandemic has started flaring up again precisely because people think it’s over :facepalm:

Show this chart to crypto fanatics and say it's a crypto chart: "Obviously it will go to the Moon any time now"

Show this chart to crypto fanatics and say it's COVID rates: "This means COVID is totally over, it's clearly just hype, something something big pharma"

An bar chart of COVID deaths since about mid-2020, with a superimposed 7-day rolling average.

The latest section is down from previous highs but is showing a clear upward trend.

Please wear a fucking mask, thank you.

@thomasfuchs What’s the population being measured here?

@thomasfuchs that logic that "it will rise any day now" is even more applicable to diseases than money. Because diseases have a latency period where infections are asymptomatic and not detectable, and infected people are going around spreading it everywhere while assuming they're okay.

I caught some more photons before they crashed into my driveway for a total exposure time of 23⅔ hours.

The Sharpless 119 nebula in the constellation Cygnus in narrowband false color. This nebula is rarely photographed because of much brighter and easier to photograph targets nearby (like the North America nebula).

The photo sows Aared and orange ring of whispy clouds surrounding a blue and cyan central region, with some dark nebulosities in the foreground—all garnished with thousands of stars.

There's also a small open star cluster in the top right that is photobombing the much larger nebula.

@thomasfuchs how do you get exposure that long, it's from multiple nights combined?

@thomasfuchs Okay the glowy CABLES are a) overkill and b) really cool.

I wish we could afford fancy RGB bling tech!

@thomasfuchs
It gives the ultimate glow-up. Not that it's needed, but cats have an unfailing nose for bling. :P

Protip: use your wide angle lens for cat photography

TFW the icon designer is too young to ever have actually seen the object they're basing the icon on

Extremely wrong "save" icon that barely resembles the shape of a diskette anymore

Still sick in bed (not COVID, just normal seasonal virus), so here’s a JavaScript joke

Ok, that’s the best bug story I’ve ever seen
