Buenos días. Hoy me he despertado con esta canción en la cabeza: Paisa, de reincidentes: youtube.com/watch?v=7ChSe2ktuT…

Nuestos viejos han emigrado.
Como mierda les han tratado.
Muchos no han regresado
ni regresarán.
Dos millones de los nuestros
andan desperdigados.
Los que nos hemos quedado
no debemos olvidar.
Al racismo
eliminar.
Fascismo
criminal.

Google's plan to disable the best ad/tracker/spyware blocker in Chrome is imminent: techradar.com/computing/chrome…

I use Firefox and you probably should, too.


Google looks to be fully shutting down unsupported extensions and ad blockers in Chrome – which might push some folks to switch to Firefox

My new response to every invite
Bluesky post that says “Unfortunately I will not be able to attend after all. My apologies, my initial enthusiasm was caused by a misreading of 'webinar' as 'winebar', under the circumstances I hope you understand”

anime about urban planners and transportation engineers redesigning city roads so fewer people get hit by trucks and isekai'd

subplot about city politicians having to deal with a grassroots group of disgruntled NEET types who fight against traffic calming measures and pedestrian-only streets because they wanted to get isekai'd to escape from their dead-end lives. "what am i supposed to do? be in a chill slice-of-life about one of those quaint sidewalk cafés catering to pedestrian tourists? i want to fight through a dungeon god dammit!"

When Hitler rose to power democratically it took him about 3 months to dismantle democracy completely. There were NO NEW ELECTIONS for 17 YEARS.

After previously having started an insurrection, Hitler came to power after state institutions and government FAILED TO BAN HIM from future elections.

Made another handy #accessibility guide, this time for your science plots!

Our plots can have lots of messages in them, so try and tell the story of the main message. Here's a guideline/template and some tips on how you can describe your plots that works for me.

Hope folks find this useful!

(I am using one of our pulsar observations to demonstrate how I have used this template in the alt-text for this image)

#Science #Astrodon #ScienceCommunication #SciComm

This is a plot of a pulsar observation, with the x-axis representing the pulse phase and the y-axis representing flux density in units of millijansky. The plot contains thre curves, one in black which represents the pulsar's profile intensity, one in red which represents the linear polarization and one in blue which represents the circular polarization. The pulsar's signal forms a sharp narrow peak around pulse phase 0.35. The intensity profile is much larger than the polarization profiles, which both form a more variant profile, rising up and down. The circular polarization even goes negative. This plot is representative of an observation for the pulsar PSR J2241-5236. Above the main plot there is also a smaller sub-plot, which shows the position angle (P.A.) data as a function of the same pulse phase, as well as degrees. The data in this plot is small clusters of data points and their error bars. The P.A. represents the orientation of the linear polarization of light from the observer's perspective. There is also text on the plot, which provides handy accessibility tips and a template for the wording to use, as this image is being used to demonstrate science plot accessibility.

@chipiguay just me going back through the previous history and adding all the names to the list that should have been added before. So the bump is a "lie", a correction of previous omissions.

I favourite a lot of cool stuff on Mastodon. I'd love a service to go through that stuff on a regular basis, pick some of it at random, and remind me of it. Maybe by email, DM, or whatever.

Note: last time I mentioned using favourites in this way, Mastodon's corrections brigade came out in force to tell me I should be using bookmarks instead. Please don't do that again.

Don't know why I didn't realize it sooner, but, while LLMs produce a lot of bullshit, they're absolutely perfect for producing those endless shitty interpretive papers I had to write in college for classes like English Lit. I hope students are making mockeries of those now. Ask ChatGPT to write a 1,000 word paper explaining how the song WAP is a protest against 'nuclear weapons.

‘Clutter isn’t really an East versus West thing,’ continues Tsuzuki. ‘It’s a rich versus poor thing. Wherever you go, anywhere in the world, the wealthy have the luxury of living in clean, minimal spaces, while the poor have to make do with small, cramped ones, without any way to hide their belongings.’

Yahoo Finance says that Twitter's revenue has dropped by 84% since Elon Musk took over. finance.yahoo.com/news/twitter…

84%! It's bringing less than one sixth of what it did pre-takeover!

That's one stable genius, right there.

I just wrote a tip for the book about how difficult I found it getting the new BSI activation gesture to work. TURNS OUT. My BSI Activation Gesture setting was toggled off. On my new phone? Anyone else see Off as a default? Also, if you can’t get the gesture to work, go find that toggle in BSI settings. #a11y #ios #voiceover

Never seen this by default off. I don't think the gesture is described well by Apple. The language sounds too confusing, at least to me. I like how someone described it in their podcast: "simply place your fingers as if you were about to type the letter C. Now, type it twice". Works for me! :)

Sections of Fifth Ave in the Gaslamp Quarter were closed to cars and open to people, enforced with permanent-looking metal bollards. It was nice to have a space for people to exist without noisy, dangerous cars being everywhere, and Aubrie liked being able to freely roll in the street rather than having to maneuver along the sidewalk.

I'm taking a semi-break from posting here at the moment, but I hope everyone has had a good weekend. I do have some Christmas music news coming in the next post.

an meine Followys in Köln. Wer kennt einen Location nähe Köln Hansaring, wo ich kommenden Mittwoch (16. Okt) abends, nach der Arbeit, nicht allein sein muss.

Bin die nächste Woche dienstlich in Köln und würde mich sehr freuen den Abend nicht allein meinen Gedanken auf dem tristen Hotelzimmer verbringen zu müssen.

Es geht mir wirklich in erster Linie um: Nicht allein sein. Ich muss nicht unbedingt neuen Bekanntschaften machen, es reicht schon ein Umfeld, wo nette Menschen zu Small Talk bereit sind. Hauptsache nicht allein auf dem Hotelzimmer.

Gern einen Boost und bei sehr konkreten Ideen auch eine direkt Nachricht.

Danke Euch ❤️

I know "I bet this construction work will not be finished on time" is not a particularly wild guess in Germany, but nonetheless: called it!
