about fact checking funny story. Forbes recorded live a speech from ex VP. She explicitly says a word that had to be striked through on white house transcript. Went viral. So they transcribed what she actually said then crossed out and wrote a new term. The video by forbes said the original speech then approx. 2 months later it changed to the new term. So they edited? most likely . To match what she was supposed to say but WAIT a few months later they changed what she said again..BACK to original recording. Sooo fact checking , funny story. P.S. I have every version recorded.

Why learn actual skills when you can just look impressive instead?

Introducing rust-stakeholder - a CLI tool that generates absolutely meaningless but impressive-looking terminal output to convince everyone you're a coding genius without writing a single line of useful code.

I remember back in the late 2000s we fooled our manager into believing that NetHack was a sysadmin tool



Was mich hier echt bedrückt, ist die Abwesenheit von Diskussionen um die US-Politik auf den großen Bühnen. Auf der SXSW wird in jeder zweiten Session die Zukunft vorhergesagt. Wie geht das ohne den Faschismus mit in die Rechnung zu nehmen? Hier sind jede Menge wirklich etablierte bekannte Leute, die Einfluss hätten - wenn sie ihn nutzen würden. Hier habe ich gelernt, wieso sie es nicht tun. Und das ist frustrierend. Hier mein aktueller Text dazu.

wie sehr ist es Angst, und wie sehr ist es Angst vorschützen um selbst möglichst ungestört von der Realität weiterhin das tun zu können was eins immer getan hat.

Bigger stepper installed and now my “steam punk” Blind controller is working! It’s slow as hell but it saves me climbing over my work bench to let some light into the room! Still need to mount the driver board and ESP32 but it’s mostly done!

Very nice.
Is the gear 3d printed?
Why a steppper and not a classical DC brushed with h bridge?

@Alexis_Krier I wanted an excuse to play with stepper motors 😁 (and yes the gear is 3d printed)






Prime minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen after Trump's words on annexing Greenland by sending troops to Pituffik Space Base:

"I should not have to repeat this, but Greenland is a part of The Kingdom of Denmark […] I encourage everyone to speak of Greenland with the respect the country deserves".

hello there, I'm back. I had no internet for 5 days straight and had some minor damage around the house due to the cyclone.
Here is a Dragon for you. I think it might like salty water. Or maybe it just came to see the sunset? Or possible it is just a Sea Dragon coming back home.

For climate and livelihoods, Africa bets big on solar mini-grids
Nigeria is pioneering the development of small, off-grid solar panel installations.

in reply to Ars Technica

Those panels need to be high enough to get under! Who designed those, pygmies?
The whole point of reducing and capturing the radiation from the sun with a raised system is that you reduce the local temperature under the panel, allowing increased cropping and grazing by animals that can also shelter.
in reply to Ars Technica

I wish US towns would do this as well, instead of scamming homeowners with solar loans.

Mr Meta-Facebook is throwing his weight around, desperately trying to have this book withdrawn (he is a big supporter of free speech) so obviously it's best others don't read it or share this information... he's already... errrm... 'obtained' an injunction preventing the author from further promoting it herself.

Covid, 5 years on: what have we learned?
Thanks to science, another spanish flu style catastrophe as in 1918 was prevented.
"The mRNA vaccines prevented millions of deaths. The technology for building new, effective vaccines quickly came on in leaps and bounds. Masks worked. And as with every pandemic in recent history, subsequent reviews have found that the advice to go early and hard with containment was correct."

Trump names himself "Chief law enforcement officer" and promises to abuse the Justice Department to attack everyone who was involved in investigating his own crimes.

Der vorerst letzte sonnige Tag und es wurde noch keine Biene bzw. kein Fluginsekt im Balkongarten gesichtet 🤔😐

Soll ich dir ein paar von meinen Bienen schicken? Die fliegen gerade wieder los, die Sonne scheint direkt auf ihr Haus 😉
Nach Köln ist allerdings sehr weit.
Aber sehr schön gemachter Balkon, besonders der Speiskübel mit der Deko außenrum gefällt mir
