Eastern Grey Squirrel

I took this in Georgia over Thanksgiving. It's a squirrel scrambling up a tree. I processed it weeks ago but deemed it not worthy. Since them it has been hanging around my "to do file." So, I decided to post and be done with it 😏😉.

@UndisScot It would be great to have some sort of Feditag that covers sites such as this but also @AbandonedAmerica and others so it is easy to find similar resources.

There must be some great sites in England, Ireland & Wales too.

I used to be a cheerleader for switching to the numworks graphing #calculators but I couldn’t get my huge math department on board with that decision. 😒🙄

The TI 84 CE now has a python app— and I guess that’s good enough. Only there are some things I question about the implementation. For example in python to use the math library (sine, cosine, square root etc.) you need to start the program with “from math import *” this feels … silly. It’s a calculator. Why not have #mathematics by default?

How do they not support Firefox ? It is a web browser, designed to view websites that are meant to be w3c compliant, as in you write a website and it works on any browser.

Shows how standards have fallen when these companies can't get their head around that.

@rbreich

I think the rest of the world looks at the US + guns and just ends up totally baffled as to why this keeps happening, so how the USA is viewed on the world stage is impacted on these senseless shootings. The BBC say that the Monterey shooting was the 5th so far in 2023. then reported another shooting in Baton Rouge, no one has died apparently but something like 10 injured.

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:

— Gun laws in other countries have stopped mass shootings

— More guns don't make us safer

— The vast majority of Americans want gun control

Inaction is a policy choice.

@ebauche @pluralistic

Are we not seeing something similar with the co pilot thingy on github, where ai generated code is from all different sources, none of which are acknowledged or creators work respected.

@pluralistic Interestingly we can see this happening right now with Spotify as well - it's starting to push musicians to pay to get streams. And of course they'll take those 'great recommendations' and start filling it with paid for shit and AI generated music they don't have to pay royalties on.

@stux

If nothing else, we can use this as a teaching resource an example of a breach of licensing terms.

Usually you get asked about copyright infringement, but I try and add in to using computers legally - use of copyleft, creative commons GPL etc

@zleap After some letters from Eugen they uploaded a zip file with some version but no idea how recent

@stux

So has he released the source to his version as demanded by the license ? Seems based on his no as you can't just pick / choose what parts you comply with.

@LowlyAdjunct

So if you are only allowed to provide vetted books are the people who provide the new book list grooming kids by proxy (via the teacher) as to their own right wing narrative in this case.

@jackofalltrades @somegirlprivacy@geekdom.social

I wonder if there is a correlation between internet access and attitude to vaccines. in term of getting information that is accurate.

@brunns

The outcome of the next general election will depend partly on what happens between now and when the election is held. Hopefully by then social media will be under some degree of control to avoid it being used to spread a single narrative, but that is rather optimistic.

It depends on how people vote, if their local MP tory, labour or otherwise does a 'good' job for the consitutents, such as sorting out problems, providing advice, clarity on policy and bring investment / jobs into an area, if running at a general election, they will probably get voted back in despite what the people higher up in the party are like.

Do people really care about a senior MP paying a fine for a tax error, they care more about what goes on locally, jobs, healthcare, crime.

@lupyuen Cool, code club provide something along these lines just very simple but still effective.

I have filled in the 'alt' text the best I can for this.
