I really want a lightweight 4x4 hybrid pickup with an 800cc engine and a 7000km range! Oh! it is £150k! OK, call me when you sell me the something similar for £45k #xp https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/fering-pioneer-electric-ute-has-7000km-range-132091/?fbclid=IwAR1LjNwbjC2V25FBs9V2i3jvPD3vP0y-gGFe5RV17iaIwfL-Q3p6Hgb0tBE

I've been a Pandora subscriber for ~15 years. Been using YouTube music since lately and the recommendations that come up when you start a "radio" station have felt weird and I just found the words for it.

YouTube music is like that relative that found out you liked Pokemon when you were 15 and still gets you Pokemon themed gifts for every single Christmas 20 years later

The astronomy 101 lab I teach this week involves playing with this fantastic sun motion simulator: https://ccnmtl.github.io/astro-simulations/sun-motion-simulator/

(I didn't write it! But I am so glad it exists)

Though it's always so depressing to see how short our days are at this time of year. Oof, the Sun won't get above 20.3 degrees high tomorrow. Gross.

@flsounds I use MetaText. A bit janky at times (especially with scrolling!) but I generally like it. Home/Local/Federated timelines are easily accessed.
Haven't noticed many slowdowns with old posts or anything.
And a bit superficial but I enjoy the logo.

Seth MacFarlane was clearly so affected by this (and his encyclopedic knowledge of lounge and lounge acts likely played a part) that Family Guy gives a contextless reference to the entire perfomance here:

For my first post on Mastodon I just want to shout out that we have 2 DAYS TO GO UNTIL OUR SON FINISHES LEUKAEMIA TREATMENT! I ran the numbers and here's what our poor little dude has been through over the last 2 years and 2 months...

@flsounds no problem at all! I'm glad I noticed the article in the first place. Always happy to help when I can!

Make sure to update your phones/devices ASAP. 📲

Even though this Huge Security Risk was reported for Pixel phones, reading the comments confirms that other Android - and at least one iPhone - are also affected. The bug has been patched; but, you must make sure you have updated your phone. 🔐

The first link below is the blog post with a whole lot of information. The second link is a quick YouTube video showing how quickly someone can unlock your phone. 😱

I didn't mention in the post but I'm live commenting on John Wick here, but leaving it unlisted. Feel free to check in over the next hour or so. It's going to be mostly Keanu enjoyment, probably. I have the other films queued, too. https://qoto.org/@War_Kittens/109339117415206060
