Looks like my #pixel10pro will finally be put in use. \o/

RE: mastodon.social/@ennopark/1155…

Wie weit die Verrohung vorangeschritten ist, zeigt sich an vereinzelten Kommentaren, die an dieser Aussage nichts schlimmes finden wollen. Spannend finde ich, dass ich solche Replys bisher nur auf Mastodon bekommen habe, aber nicht auf Bluesky und auch nicht (sehr überraschend) auf LinkedIn.

ON this day in 2005, twenty years ago, I was visiting @MaryAnn25 in Portlan,, Oregon.

I was up at around 4:30 AM on this cold Saturday morning in her apartment with a cheap Sony walkman connected to a digital recorder, trying to capture a bunch of local commercial FM radio station IDs just for fun, when I came across KBOO, a community radio station, and a guy playing country classics.

Instead of a properly produced ID, this guy opened the microphone, and with a voice that broke rather spectacularly, proclaimed "You are listening to KBOO, Portland. The voiced quality just went away when he said the word "to", and it came out with a weird, strangled h sound.

When I first heard it, I absolutely busted out laughing, happy that I was able to capture it.

Unfortunately, my Edirol R1, an early solid-state stereo digital recorder, decided it's batteries weren't really up to the job, and it cut off while recording, which damaged the file.

I was able to put it's compact flash card into a reader, and load a recovery utility, called PC Inspector File Recovery, to get the raw data off the card, then open that raw data in an audio editor, which was just enough to pull it off.

So, exactly twenty years later, I present this four second audio clip, which sort of became an audio meme among friends for years.

I've just finished playing Broken Gark: Chaotic Doob in Garkle Realm, and here are my results:
I have managed to get a total of 27386 idiot boxes.
During the game, I've unlocked no achievements, kinda like when I'm not playing, and was awarded -24 credits for my lackluster performance!

So @FreakyFwoof went to a hotel in Bristol, and recorded a nice "ding" sound from the bathroom.
As soon as I heard it, my weird brain went "Oh, hey ,that could easily be turned into a fire alarm." So I did just that, minus adding a bunch of distortion and compression to actually make it more realistic.

Este tiene que ser @modulux. Vamos, es que estoy seguro. Todos los días saluda diciendo lo que hace y lo que no hace, pero nunca habla del sueño, y eso es demasiado sospechoso.
Un funcionario no entiende por qué últimamente le cuesta tanto conciliar el sueño durante su jornada laboral

Oops, seems the BBC didn't quite proofread their alt text on their live page regarding the US gov shutdown and the impact on flights.

Hey, people who design OTP systems: why only accept the most recent code? If there are delays in SMS or email, and you request two codes, and then enter the first one, it will never work. What possible security interest is served by only accepting the most recent code within some timeframe (say, 30 minutes).

So often, I just don't understand how the people who design these systems think about the world.
