I wonder how many documents have been incorrectly dated because when writing the date someone accidentally wrote down the year before because of Muscle Memory or some shit

if you think about it 2025 is just 2024 again so i think its okay



It seemed like my battery was draining very quickly on my iPhone, so I became concerned and looked in the battery settings. For those attending CSUN, the Cvent app is lovely, but it seems to munch my battery nearly as quickly as GPS apps. So I will treat it as being in that category and close it from the app switcher when I am not using it. Just thought this might be of help to someone.

I couldn't seem to pan right or left well enough to even proceed in the tutorial. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, so that is kind of disappointing.
in reply to Lisa Salinger

It does take a minute or so to get settled. But later in the afternoon yesterday, it worked fine so give it a try again today.
in reply to John Gassman

@JohnGassman I had great success with it today, and your info helped me to keep working with it and made my life today much easier. Thank you much!


Das in #Mannheim übliche:

49-jähriger Autofahrer unter Alkohol- und Drogeneinfluss und ohne Führerschein unterwegs

"Er wurde von einer weiteren Polizeistreife wenige Meter weiter gestoppt und kontrolliert. Dabei bemerkte die Beamten deutlichen Alkoholgeruch im Atem des Mannes. Ein Alkoholtest ergab einen Wert von 0,56 Promille. Zudem zeigte er Anzeichen für Drogenkonsum. Ein Drogentest bestätigte den Eindruck und reagierte positiv auf Amphetamin. Im Zuge weiterer Überprüfungen wurde festgestellt, dass gegen den Mann derzeit ein Fahrverbot besteht. Zudem wurden in seiner Jacke ein Schlagring sowie ein Plastikpäckchen mit rund 3 Gramm Amphetamin gefunden."

Birmingham Pen Co Antique Sepia

I'm not sure what I expected with this ink. It's a lot pinker than I expected from something called "sepia". But it's a very nice multishading ink, along the lines of a darker and greyer Sailor Ink Studio 123.

Thanks @alexa488

"Weevils, long-nosed beetles, are unsung heroes of pollination"

"A special kind of intertwined plant-pollinator relationship, thought to be rare, is present in hundreds of weevil species"

“We are highlighting a group of insects that most people want to see killed, and we're showing that they can actually be pretty important for maintaining ecosystems and products that we care about,”

It was on this day 36 years ago when @timbl submitted his proposal to CERN for an "information management system", precursor to the World Wide Web.

"In the proposal, Berners-Lee modestly spoke of wanting to use hypertext, a.k.a. links, to help CERN deal with information storage issues.

[...]

His boss’s response?

“Vague, but exciting.”"

My brother had been using wifi battery monitors on his, his girlfriend's, and my cars for the last few years since we don't drive every day. Apparently they were dependent on a cloud service that the company discontinued, bricking them all! 🧱
In looking up if anyone has found a way to use them without the cloud, I just found vendors still selling the now useless devices. The Deltran Battery Tender 081-0172. 🤦‍♂️

From TB to HIV/AIDS to cancer, disease tracking has always had a political dimension.

As federal datasets disappear from view, scholars explain why it is important to collect and maintain this information:

Occasionally I will get a spammy message from someone on here, and I always report the account and block them immediately. What's amazing is how quickly these accounts are reported already by others and taken out to the woodshed. Thanks to everyone involved in stopping abuse. It's fairly remarkable how ferocious this community is in showing spammers the door.

It's the "revenue model" and human moderators to users ratio that does it. I'm sure Meta's platforms get a similar response from users, and then four days later an algorithm makes the wrong decision and let's it continue because it bumps ad metrics.


#AbrahamLincoln had a puzzling relationship to #religion. For several years I had the privilege of researching the role of religion in his life for the Lincoln Home National Historic Site in #Springfield, #Illinois. In 2021, my research focused on religion in the early decades of Springfield’s history through the period of Lincoln’s residency there, which had a formative impact on Lincoln’s own religious faith.

So #KDE has this thing where if you violently shake the mouse cursor (to e.g. find it) it will grow in size to make it easier to locate. It'll grow 2-3 times before reaching a maximum size.

I propose KDE makes it so the cursor just... Keeps growing as long as you shake it, until it covers the whole screen. And then just keep growing. To whatever max size Wayland allows.

Huge win. Huge. Canadian Court upholds government restricting crypto bullshit use of electricity

"B.C. wins case for power use limits by cryptocurrency miners"

(Its not "mining" its wanking, nothing produced, nothing mined)

"The decision upheld an earlier court ruling against Conifex Timber Ltd., a forestry company located in Prince George .... The company was seeking unrestricted access to B.C. electricity."

I urge going further.

There is nothing produced in crypto, no farms selling eggs, making a small profit, no furniture makers making cool chairs for a choosy market.

There are no eggs in crypto, no chairs, no electric planes built, not a single candy, no fertilizer, just counterfeit money.

REQUIRE crypto build its own renewable green energy source for 120% of their wanking needs, ALWAYS more than they use.

And data centres too.

No crypto use of utility power.

A friend of mine posted this on another platform.

I couldn't agree more.

Thing is, we're still brothers and sisters 30 years later.



Tough decision for Dem Senators.

Vote down the budget bill and shut down the government OR fold and vote to allow the MAGAts to dismantle it anyway, which they are going to do regardless of any budget passed.

If you're got a lose/lose hand at least stand up and own the fight.

in reply to Warner Crocker

Try a different framing, even though I realize the legacy media will fail.

The Republicans will be shutting down the government. The Republicans are doing this. They are extremists using the budget to harm the American people and national security. Democrats should not collaborate. President Musk is shutting things down and disabling agencies while Trump is placing entirely corrupt individuals in charge of them. The framing needs to be on what the Republicans are doing, and not of Democrats who will not collaborate with causing damage.



I've heard the word Tariffs more times in the past 3 weeks than I have in 40yrs. And Canadian History is a mandatory credit in high school here.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I still am. We're living through this point in history right after surviving a global pandemic.

[14:08] Zijn we klaar met Facebook? Dit is waarom Hyves nooit had mogen verdwijnen

Zijn er alternatieven om het monopolie van de big tech te breken? Met het daverende succes van Hyves hadden we ooit goud in handen. Van eigen bodem. Totdat Facebook ook in Nederland voet aan de grond kreeg en ons paradepaardje verzwolg. Met dansende banaan en al. Negen redenen waarom dat nooit had mogen gebeuren.
