Just got a lovely spam/scam email from a company called Cloud Storage Space, alerting me that my sotrage space is about to be deleted. Of course, I know it's a scam but it's written in such a way that someone who may not be thinking clearly and acting quickly could just click the link, provide whatever it is the scammers are asking for and then heaven help them. It's disgusting, evil and extremely sickening.

An old tired-looking dog wanders into a guy's yard. The dog does look like he has a home, but he soon follows the man into the house, goes down the hall, jumps on the couch and falls asleep. The man thinks it's odd but lets him sleep. After about an hour, the dog wakes up, walks to the door, and the guy lets him out. The dog wags its tail and leaves.

The next day, the dog comes back and scratches at the door. The guy opens the door, and the dog comes in, goes down the hall, jumps on the couch and falls asleep again. The man lets him sleep. After about an hour, the dog wakes up, walks to the door, and the guy lets him out. The dog wags its tail and leaves.

This goes on for days. The guy grows really curious, so he pins a note on the dog's collar: "Your dog has been taking a nap at my house every day."

The next day the dog arrives with another note pinned to his collar: "He lives in a home with four children -- he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?”

Eh mastodon, on me demande si je connais une boite sérieuse qui sait broder sur le dos d'un hoodie un logo de plusieurs couleurs fourni par le client.
Tu connais ça ?
Le repouet permet de faire un cadeau personnalisé à un jeune très sympa.

Edit: a priori une boite dans le coin peut le faire. Mais sinon l'atelierduquai proposé par @stephavelo devrait faire l'affaire.
Merci de vos propositions et partages !!

The funny thing about my cooking journey is I wasn’t always an Asian food cooking expert. When I lived in southeast and South Asia, there was absolutely no reason to cook any of their cuisines there. It was widely available and cheap and easy. It was more expensive to cook it myself and I couldn’t possibly have done it even 1/10th as well.

I mostly cooked French, Italian and Thai food (Thai food I picked up because I was in the Middle East for a bit and I needed spice). So I cook all of those cuisines at a pretty advanced level, and feel like I had to really learn how to cook the Singaporean / Malaysian street foods I miss. But I know no one back home really cooks those dishes at home either. (Home food and street food is very different. No one is really starting up a huge wok to do char kway teow, or making advanced things like roast meats that we can easily purchase).

So now when I tell my family I know how to make things like laksa or fish soup bee hoon or nasi lemak, they think that I’m a sorcerer. They don’t make this stuff at home.

Diverting the water given the current and near-future water security issues is a huge cost. Significant issue.

The value that those in power are looking at is not in the people building the data centres. It's in the data/info/AI that those centres wield -- 🇨🇦 info/data security important, but also potential international influence.

Not saying that this is a good plan, nor that it's a black & white issue with a black & white answer/solution.

What's alarming are the "powers that be" and those who stand to gain financially from this -- at the cost of daily living & health for British Columbians and Canadians.

I keep having to remind myself that this #FreeBSD laptop isn't running Linux.

Other than a few very minor issues, it JUST WORKS. After all of the work (it wasn't even hard, really) of setting it up and customizing a couple of my scripts to run on FreeBSD, the OS does its most important job: disappearing.

This is pretty cool. Give yourselves a pat on the back, #FreeBSD devs. Things are really getting better.

Disclaimer: Just because I haven't encountered any deal-breakers doesn't mean that you won't. Always do your due diligence and try it out on a non-critical machine, first. Also, using an old #Thinkpad (instead of a brand new whatever) is usually the best advice for stuff like this ;)

mine has some sleep/wake issues especially if I remove it from the USB or Thunderbolt dock before waking. Either outright freezing or peripherals it can't let go of or is never detected again until reboot. It also always seems to fail to wake from sleep properly with Wayland, but not X11 where it's usually fine

Other than those caveats which are mostly understandable (just needs better hardware re-scanning upon wake) it's very usable and most people won't do what I do, so...

Who had the funny idea to turn tags to lowerCase on auto-completion in the Mastodon Web UI? That's kinda nasty. Especially if I select a tag like "AndroidAppRain" (spelled exactly like that in the suggestion) by typing "AndroidA" and let it auto-complete: "androidappRain" is *NOT* what I'd expect.

I've checked the preferences, but found nothing. Any hints on how to set this to sane defaults? Screenreaders have it easier with CamelCase…

@downey @admin some setting on instance level maybe?

@TheCoolest Thanks! But why then does the instance I'm on, where I created the hashtag (at lease as far as I remember), not stick to the CamelCase I've used for it? 🤔

But let's see: @downey @admin could you try that for one (or both) of "IzzyOnDroid" and/or "AndroidAppRain", so we can verify? I'm 100% sure I created both hashtags, but I'm not 100% sure whether I did so before or after I migrated here from MastodonTechnology.

@chris_ Mal geschaut: ja, weiß ich. Gibt keine neueren. Es gibt zwar Releases bis hoch zu 2.2.6, aber keines der neueren hat APKs angehängt: github.com/grote/Transportr/re…

Und wenn es keine APK gibt, können wir auch keine anbieten 🤷‍♂️ Hab mal ein Issue dafür aufgemacht; wer mag, kann dort seinen Daumen heben 😉

APKs missing at latest releases

the last 3 releases (2.2.4 to 2.2.6) have no APK attached – hence, IzzyOnDroid is stuck at 2.2.3 (the last release that had an APK). Could you please attach them again? Starting with the currently ...

Because I do not see it repeated on my TL nearly enough:

To hell with the Trump regime for sending National Guard into DC for absolutely • no • reason • whatsoever • except inflaming the situation. They’ve been desperately waiting this whole time for something to blow up and some troops to get harmed so they’d have an excuse for more escalation. Hurting troops was the goal. The •goal•.

And now Epstein’s off the front page. They’ve got to be over the moon.

We all knew this moment would come. JAWS dropped SAPI 4 support years ago, and now it is NVDA’s turn with NVDA 2026.1.
NVDA is removing support for SAPI 4 because it is limited to 32-bit.

Ok, story time. A few days ago I was hanging out in my CS Foundations course at NorthEastern, listening to the professor talk about various things related to classes and objects in Python. At one point, he decided that we were going to live code some stuff together. Now, unfortunately, because of the way the course is structured, I can't participate in this as he's usually going extremely fast and not being super descriptive with what he's actually writing in terms of syntax. Everyone around me had their laptops and were keeping up with him from the sound of it, while I just sat there trying to take in what I could.

This course is like three hours long, and at some point, it hit me that I will probably never be able to have an equivalent experience to everyone else in the room. Not sure why it took so long to sink in, I've been taking the class for like two months at this point, and it never really bothered me before, but by the end I just found myself really wishing I could see. I've been totally blind for most of my life, had some vision when I was really little, but lost all of it pretty early on after they did a ton of surgeries. Most of my life was spent at a school for the blind, and later at Berklee, where there were lots of other blind students that I could hang with and confide in if I ever had problems. At Northeastern however, I just feel alone. That's not to say people avoid me or anything like that, I have a few friends, but I feel like I don't really relate to them. Wonder if any other totally blind people feel the same way sometimes? I do my best not to let this consume my life, but I've been thinking about it a lot this week.

#хуйлостан

ауслендер в ахуе от того, что российский депутат предложил отправлять бродячих собак на сво, чтобы они собой раз минировали минные поля.

а я вот больше охуеваю от того, что госдума и прочие товарищи, которые отправляют на сво людей, чтобы они собой разминировали минные поля, эту идею почему то осудили.

выходит как всегда, россиянам собак жальче чем людей. почему? жалеть собак безопасно, а если жалеть людей, можно за дискредитацию загреметь.

вконец ебанутая страна.
