Lunchtime train of thought...
- Hey, that moss looks like a figure, reaching out
- I should add a Santa hat
- Hang on, it's the winter solstice isn't it? I should add antlers.
- Hmm. That doesn't work with the Santa hat. Wonder if it would work in green.
- Hmmm.
*Goes down a bit of a solstice rabbit hole*
- Oh. I'm a day early for solstice.
- Bah.
*posts anyway*
This is what I mean when I say “nature isn’t something you ‘go to.’” This fern has been living under my car for a long time. #Ferns, y’all. Not sure if I should encourage it somehow, if I even could, or transplant it somehow. I’m worried I’ll damage it if I try, so it’ll probably just live there until it can’t. It’s kind of amazing though, isn’t it? #plants #botany
Od dzisiaj działa polska strona inicjatywy #fedigov pod adresem https://fedigov.pl/ .
Fedigov to pomysł Free Software Foundation Europe @fsfe żeby zainteresować instytucje publiczne korzystaniem z wolnych, federacyjnych platform komunikacji.
W tej chwili na stronie umieszczony jest m.in. szablon listu/emaila, który można wysłać do wybranej przez siebie instytucji aby ją poinformować o problemie jakim jest komunikacja wyłącznie przy użyciu zamkniętych platform, oraz zachęcić do rozważenia ich zmiany/uzupełnienia o komunikację przez media federacyjne.
W sekcji przykładów/referencji na razie nie mamy się czym w Polsce pochwalić, ale postaram się, z Wasza pomocą, rozszerzać ją m.in. o wykaz instytucji w innych państwach UE, które już komunikują się przez fediverse.
Możemy jednak myśleć o przyszłości z umiarkowanym optymizmem - przyszłotygodniowe spotkanie nowego Ministra Cyfryzacji z organizacjami społecznymi wyjaśni czy ten optymizm będzie uzasadniony.
Wyobrażam sobie, że strona mogłaby również pełnić funkcję petycji, pod która można będzie wyrazić poparcie dla obecności instytucji na fedi.
Jeżeli są organizacje lub projekty, które chciałby to zrobić w formie np swojego loga to proszę o informację i oznaczam te, które o to z góry podejrzewam.

We tried to simulate 1000 viewers on a #PeerTube video, and then on a livestream. (Note that 99% of twitch livestreams are under 1000 simultaneous views.)
We optimized accordingly... And here are the results: it works!
With a ~20$ server, PeerTube can now support such usecases.

Hey cool, apparently when you write something for Nature they send you a free paper copy! Kinda neat to see my name in there.
I sincerely hope my article makes someone in power think a little harder about the lack of regulations in orbit (but I'm not holding my breath...I'll keep fighting)
The free link to read the article is a couple posts up-thread, if you are interested and haven't already read it.

Today was the first day I ran this script and didn't hit some little bug or wrinkle that required me immediately debugging my code. When I'm a bit more confident in it I'll run it w/ an auto-scheduler.
Someone please clap lol. This is lonely work.

“#Tesla blamed drivers for failures of parts it long knew were defective
Wheels falling off cars at speed. Suspensions collapsing on brand-new vehicles. Axles breaking under acceleration. Tens of thousands of customers told Tesla about a host of part failures on low-mileage cars. The automaker sought to blame drivers for vehicle ‘abuse,’ but Tesla documents show it had tracked the chronic ‘flaws’ and ‘failures’ for years.”

Did I shed a tear watching a video of 1746 defiantly sounding her fabulous French two-tone whistle as she’s pulling out of Amsterdam Centraal for the last time? You bet I did.
Thirty years from now, someone now a kid will do the same when the last Vectron will go on her final journey.
Railway is life.
Or something.
It’s only a coup d’etat if it comes from the Coup D’Etat region of France. Otherwise it’s just a sparkling attempt to secure an unelected second term.
I'm not sure if I ever said this, so let me get this clear for the record.
Dutch from Belgium is sometimes called Flemish, a name I don't like, and technically it's not correct either. A city can be Flemish, or a governmental body, etc, but the language is officially called Dutch. I won't sue anyone for calling it Flemish though, I just don't like it. If it's necessary to point out linguistical differences with the Netherlands you can say Belgian Dutch vs Dutch Dutch.
Dutch is one language. This I will denounce you for. (You can call the Belgian version Flemish but you can't say it's a different language, as that is false.)
The differences between the two countries are like British and American English: pronunciation, expressions, certain words, certain preferences. And also, the fact that both of those aren't monolithic, and can be divided into various distinct dialects themselves.

This is just a miracle.
People with lupus and other autoimmune diseases that were *severely* ill are now just cured. From struggling to walk a few meters to walking 10 kilometers, being symptom-free for almost 2 years 🥺
Very early phase of research, tested on 15 humans in total around the world.
They really just managed to turn off the false attack sign. So the disease is gone completely.
