Dune Prophecy S1E1 was not terrible. Let's see how it progresses.

This looks eerily familiar with Honk's "first" feed. Another @tedu innovation being stolen by big tech.

Bluesky feed that is exactly like the honk "first" feed

Today was my heavy (ish) squat day and also the first time I've ever used knee sleeves. Gotta say, I am pretty annoyed I didn't buy a pair sooner. Really helped with the knee aches during rest periods. I got the SBD powerlifting 7mm pair. Highly recommend!

Not sure why because I'm not a city nerd (but I do like most of the "urbanist" ideas) but I'm a huge fan of @nerd4cities YT channel.

Anyhoo, I see in your latest video you said bye bye to the bird site - Good for you. Looking forward to you posting more on the Fediverse.

What a weird and wild game. At some point the #Dodgers pitching was so bad I almost turned it off because I couldn't stomach watching walk after walk.

Some how they came back from 5-0 and won the game! World Series Champions!!!

@tedu Gotcha. I only needed it for a dovecot integration that needed some bug fixing. I got so frustrated I was going to write a program in Go and just have the Lua script call it but I couldn't figure out how to read/write to the process hah!

So I ended up fixing it in Lua after an hour or two of troubleshooting and throwing my laptop around the room.

@john @jbcrawford I haven't live in Abq since 2004 but I went last year for work reasons and was shocked at how much certain parts of the city have improved. Nob Hill was nicer. The Central Ave bus improvements and generally all along this few mile stretch was also amazing to see.

Cool bars and restaurants. Lots of vegan options. I really wished I'd appreciated NM more when I lived there because I totally enjoyed returning to visit. I was not expecting that.

My wife and I drank a bottle of wine last night watching the latest Penguin and after it was over, we discovered there is the new (and final) season of My Brilliant Friend currently rolling out. Not sure how I missed this but it's already 7 episodes aired so we're binging until caught up.

Those 4 books are so damn good and the series is nearly as good. If you haven't read/seen it, I highly recommend doing so (both!)

I've never struggled so hard to figure how to do something so simple (ie, send a http request or spawn a process where I can read/write to it) than I have with #Lua. I know it has it's fans but jeez.

Most search results are from like 2007 and recommend using 3rd party gists or partial solutions.

Discussion of sharing of nonconsensual nude imagery

Discussion of sharing of nonconsensual nude imagery

Researchers uploaded 50 nude photos to X.

Then, it reported 25 of them for being nonconsensual. And the other as "copyright infringements."

X removed the copyright-reported nude images.
The nonconsensual nude photos stayed.

Please share.

In #Nicaragua, immigrants who just have residency (like myself) have to renew it every 6 months. It's an easy process but just usually very slow and very hot/uncomfortable/sweaty.

Today I had it done in record time. 2 hours and 10 minutes. Also wasn't terribly hot because we had both a tropical storm and a hurricane cover the country for the last week. So still a lot of residue cloud coverage. My own little silver lining.

@ols Did you do something specific to it? Is it an injury or ongoing pain?

I ask because I had lower back pain and sciatic issues most of my life. What used to help me a lot was a few stretches I'd do in the morning and evening but it never really resolved it. Also you should try to reduce dairy/red meats as they're pretty inflammatory and that can cause pressure on nerves, etc.

Since going vegan 8 years ago I've had no back pain at all, I assume due to way less inflammation in my body. Not preaching veganism to you, just saying that's what worked for me.

Multiple analyses show that if Trump had simply invested his multi-million-dollar inheritance in an index fund and didn’t touch it, he’d be a lot richer than he is now.

Think about that. His entire life’s work has been less successful than if he’d done nothing.

9850 Americans or 0.0029% of Americans are worth $100M or more, and could be subject to Harris's 25% tax on unrealized gains.

265,200,000 Americans or 78% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.

The people who might 'only' be worth $75M want to lecture working Americans struggling to get by on how difficult life might become for them.

Are you kidding me? These days with all the grey-listing and anti-spam measures it could take an email much longer than 2 minutes to arrive... Who in their right mind coded that?

Shit you see on the streets of Managua, #Nicaragua.

Tesla: Other than showing off, there is no reason to have one of these in Nicaragua (currently anyway, no real infrastructure or replacement parts here for this)

Motorcycle: You see people carrying all sorts of crap on their motorcycles here. I've seen a mid sized fridge once. But this one, takes the cake.

Mike Masnick on Zuckerberg’s cowardly letter to Jim Jordan:

"The only actual “news” out of all this is (1) Zuckerberg has no spine and simply cannot stand up to bad faith government pressure to change his moderation practices when it comes from Republicans (he was fine doing so when it came from Democrats) and (2) Donald Trump has accused himself of rigging his own election against himself.”

Three days ago my #github account was apparently “flagged” (whatever that means).

I wasn’t notified about it. No email. No banner in my account. I only discovered it when a workflow I was testing wasn’t working and my signed commits were “unverified” because “no email address is associated with the committer”. A friend at work then told me my profile page 404’d.

8 hours later GitHub also deleted the codespace powering my GitHub pages-hosted website, taking it offline.

How come we never hear media report that in the year prior to 10/7—Hamas killed 250 Israeli civilians, kidnapped 800 Israeli kids, took 8000 Israelis hostage, & built more than 12,000 homes on Israeli land?

You know why?

Because Hamas did none of those things. In reality, in the year prior to 10/7, the Israeli Govt killed 250 Palestinian civilians, kidnapped 800 Palestinian kids, took 8000 Palestinians hostage, & built 12,000+ homes on Palestinian land.

But go on—pretend this all began 10/7.

@AndrewHacks @crft You'll never do it. Though happy you have your flight booked for next week. Maybe Craft should come down and hang for a week or so too.

Also when Drew says 12 miles from the beach in LA, he means K-Town to Santa Monica. Aka, top 5 worst drives in the US. Then you gotta beach in Santa Monica which usually isn't that great due to tourist crowds.

I used to live in Cerritos and would shoot down to HB several mornings a week to surf. I loved it. Took about 25 minutes to get there and the drive back was usually easy. If there was traffic I could take the streets.

I just cut the line at living in OC. I may be a mile or two from the county border but f*ck living in OC.
