Gosh. I was off work for a day last week with a new Peter Cawdron. This week I get yet another day off and there's a new Scalzi! I haven't had a day off this quarter, then 2 books come along at once. #Bookstodon
I think I might need to start asking some LLM to help me with this #hCaptha. I really have no clue whether a microwave oven lives in an aquarium or where on earth is the Skip button.
If you are trying to delete your 23andMe data and get an obnoxious reply asking for ID, tell them no, that's what your password is for, and they will do it. And if they then send you an obnoxious reply saying they will delete everything except the stuff they are required to keep by law, check out this article by actual lawyer @AugustB
Many of 23 and Me’s former customers are asking to have their data and samples deleted or destroyed out of concern that they may be sold during the company’s looming collapse and likely bankruptcy …
gnome48 has, to me, been the biggest change I can remember. Don't know if it's the font , or colours were changed or the increased smoothness, but everything looks smoother and clearer. We're at the point where even just using gui controls I have no hiccups where I'd pull out the terminal during normal use. Everything feels so high quality and polished with all edges smoothed down. Truly an impressive release!
@kcpoole Hi there, You can turn off Conversation Threads by going *Settings* > *Email* > Under *General* go to *Conversation Thread* and select *Show selected email only*
I also notice on iOS you can swipe from left to right for the menu… it if you miss, you can send email to the archive… it would be better if Archive is on opposite side with Delete and on the left side you can make Mark unread
Tag 22 im Fediverse - Schau was flattert da in mein E-Mail-Postfach.
Ich oute mich jetzt hier: Ich habe bislang ziemlich viel zu Google Maps beigetragen, weil ich ein großer Fan davon bin, meine Erkenntnisse, Fotos und Informationen mit anderen zu teilen. 🙈
Künftig möchte ich auch hier etwas neues ausprobieren. Gerade habe ich die App "StreetComplete" entdeckt, mit der ich wohl ziemlich einfach zu OpenStreetmap beitragen kann. Gibts im Playstore und auch bei F-Droid.
Ich schaue mal noch, wo ich Renzensionen, Fotos etc. jetzt hinpacke, bin noch am Einarbeiten in OpenStreetmap und freue mich auch auf vielleicht ganz andere Dienste, die da noch auf Ihre Entdeckung warten.
Wheelmap is an online map to search, find and mark wheelchair-accessible places. Get involved by marking public places like bars, restaurants, cinemas or supermarkets!
@davbm Psst! We use @mangroveReviews , also known as #OpenReviewAssociation. OpenPlaceReviews is a different and mostly dead project. Now is a good time to use the edit-a-toot functionality
TIL that because the FFmpeg project has gained so much experience in hand-writing assembly code to provide huge speedups, they now are putting together a series of lessons for learning assembly:
Vibe coding is fun and all, but this is probably a better use of time!
I did this I'm using a curl multi to to some http request, but I noticed the socket function is being called with weird socket fd=0 while fd 0 is not even managed by curl. I enabled trace with debu...

Against all odds and with far too many rewrites, I’ve launched a story on Royal Road: Phoenix Academy. Genre: soft sci-fi, school drama, strategy, weirdly emotional power struggles. Set in an elite girls’ academy where loyalty is weaponised, pressure is curriculum, and hierarchy is destiny. Think: “game theory with feelings,” but also girls holding hands ominously. I’d be grateful if you gave it a look, or passed it on if it seems your thing:

Fifteen million people participated in Turkey’s opposition CHP primary on Sunday in a show of support for ousted Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu. His detention last week, seen as politically motivated, triggered mass protests across the country.
U.S. border: Eggs seized more often than fentanyl ctvnews.ca/world/article/us-bo… “In the first two months of 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seized fentanyl on 134 occasions, down from 197 seizures in the same time frame in 2024. Meanwhile, CBP intercepted egg products on 3,254 occasions this January and February, compared to 1,508 occasions in the first two months of 2024.”
U.S. President Donald Trump has made stopping fentanyl at both the northern and southern borders one of his administration's top priorities, but American law enforcement data shows that another commodity appears far more often in seizures: eggs.
Krásné dobré ráno mastodonní bando! 🙋♀️🐶 Artura se nám podařilo úplně zmást. Ve všední dny vstávám v pět, takže zatímco my už se vraceli z venčení domů, Artur teprve sbíhal ze seníku dolů. Ale jedno pozitivum v tom bylo. Snídani měl během chvilky. V podstatě vstávám spolu se sadem. My vyjdeme ven a akorát začíná koncert. Malí i velcí zpěváci si můžou strhnout hlasivky. Vy si taky užijte dnešní koncert a spěchejte pomalu. #dobre_rano #dobréRáno
Bottom line: Danielle Smith MADE THE COMMENTS and Danielle Smith has NEVER been a part of the TEAM CANADA approach. Danielle Smith went down to Mar-a-Lago and kissed the ring, along w/ the likes of Kevin O'Leary, etc. cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/al… #sellout #cdnpoli #elxn45

A mistake I’m reclassifying as a happy accident is that I separated the threads wrong in stage 2. I started with the same 6-strand thread at the point the pen is pointing to, working out in both directions with 3 strand floss. But when i continued, I accidentally split the 6 threads 4 and 2, so the lower right is chunky and the upper left is sparse. But if i continue this 4/3/2/3/4 pattern it’s one more axis of variation for the curve!
There's a pretty good chance that I'm not going to get through the full intended fifth-iteration hilbert curve without running out of thread on one skein of floss I currently have for the project. If that happens I'm just going to have this one end wherever it ends; I already have an unwieldy number of ideas for other space filling curve projects after this one.
Wishing you an OK day on March 23 — National OK Day! 👍
Back in 1839, the Boston Morning Post published the first known instance of "OK" (writing it "o.k."). It was an abbreviation for the joking misspelling of "all correct": "oll korrekt."
Check out the whole story of how "OK" survived when similar funny abbreviations faded away:
If you're using Mastodon through a computer, did you know you can access almost all of its functions through keyboard shortcuts? There's a complete list of shortcuts plus more info here:
Some of these will only make sense in Mastodon's multicolumn mode, but most of them work in all modes.
NOTE: You don't have to use any of these shortcuts, everthing can be done through the mouse too. The keyboard shortcuts are just for people who prefer them 🙂
Okay you might ask, what's the news here? We've been able to get HTTP response headers with curl since virtually the stone age. Yes we have. Get the page and also show the headers: curl -i https://example.
"The story of the VOA building isn’t especially important compared with the planned gutting of its entire parent agency. But the untruths presented here should reinforce Americans’ skepticism about other assertions of corruption, overspending and misdeeds by people who have given their lives to government work." wsj.com/opinion/kari-lake-isnt…
yeah I noticed that as well. Kids these days seem to not understand what a subject line is and just treat email as a messenger application, so they just put the entire email in the subject. I find that quite funny.
@can kids, but also people of all ages who didn't use the internet before smart phones and don't realize emails are not like text messages in that regard.
Help needed from the more experienced folks from fedi: The following dataset huggingface.co/datasets/foster… is stored as .parquet files. How i can export the contents and store this to my hard drive? The wavs and text?
As I see, there is an option to download via API. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner, then select "View API". The response to the request will be a json document with a list of wav files and associated text.
@viachaslavic не понимаю я этот сайт. просто из перспективы незрячего человека он неудобен. Апи скудно документирован, и не все оно выдаёт. Скачивать каждый файл одним щелчком это не метод. Нужно вытащить всё и сразу.
Samir, 43, is the owner of a shoe shop in Ramallah who has never seen the sea. He decides to sneak past Israeli borders with other Palestinian construction workers…
honestly, I don't think Poilievre should have to defend this choice. if he doesn't want journalists travelling with his campaign, that's up to him. he is making a huge mistake, but I am ok with that. 😂
I think the media should just follow suit and not cover his campaign. "Sorry we didn't have access to the campaign, now let's have a report on how he refuses to get briefed on classified Government matters"
@hub I’m cynical enough to assume the plan is: refuse access, then complain of bias that he’s not getting as much coverage, and then if he wins start defunding journalism.
during a campaign, party leaders can traverse so many cities in a day that it's not possible for the same reporters to follow the campaign without also being aboard the plane. but if he wants less mainstream media coverage, well, that's up to him.
frankly, I think this is more about avoiding public gaffes that could blow up his campaign. with the Conservatives, there's always some. 😅
