I've finally found a way of seeing who's federated whom! I think every fediverse server should publish this information along with their policies for users before they register an account.
Thanks to @lutindiscret for sharing the link!
a few domestic scenes. last night our freezer failed, but fortunately we were able to find a spot for everything in other freezers. grateful for friends and family that are happy to help, for a life in a place that affords little luxuries and joys and moments of peace every day (if i take the time to let them happen)
i’ve been waiting for daylight savings to “fall back” so i can wake up on time more easily, but it’s still over a month away!
(realistically, i’d probably need to have the time rollback happen every month or two to actually keep me on track)

What happens when you tell an AI image generator to recreate the scene of Jesus flipping over tables.
I mean, it's 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 correct. 😅
setting up this old typewriter for eb, and she just noticed it’s got no exclamation point!
“how will i seem excited? i’ll have to use a dollar sign”

Apple has Thunderbolt and Lightning ports
Logically, today's big announcement will be Very Very Frightening ports
love that iphones are switching to USB-C! disappointed the mini isn't back.
setapp is like if macheist happened every day
why is there so much turkic culture/terminology/imagery in c.s. lewis’s narnia books? especially when he never visited that part of the world, didn’t speak turkish, etc.
loved this article’s exploration of that question: https://engelsbergideas.com/essays/finding-turkey-in-narnia/ (and would read a longer work on it too!)

PSA to update all your Apple ecosystem devices as soon as humanly possible today, the security patch is for a pretty severe 0-day exploit actively being used to compromise devices by threat actors right now https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213905
More info on how the exploit works: https://citizenlab.ca/2023/09/blastpass-nso-group-iphone-zero-click-zero-day-exploit-captured-in-the-wild/
decided not to take melatonin tonight (i only started taking it again to try to get into the school day schedule switch) and now it’s 2am and i’m still awake. whyy
so many things in life would be smoother if i fell asleep as easily as i sleep in. it’s like i never grew out of teenagerhood
had another brand's "cold IPA" the other day, and was wondering aloud to @Chad whether it was connected to the "ice beer" brewing technique (freeze the beer to remove water). turns out, nope!
in a nutshell, "a 'cold IPA' is an IPA fermented at lower temperatures than what is normally used to ferment an ale"

beck and phoenix also used this cool 3d stage projection technique that i hadn’t seen before. very nice!
