The BlueSky wiki is absolutely hilarious

The first cybercafe. 1995, colorized.

"Simple."

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.

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.

It's not new and I've read it before, but this blog post from the #SQLite folks is a great reference on how to design an application around a relational database:

What If OpenDocument Used SQLite?

I don't always dress up for Halloween but when I do, it's usually because my wife made me.

#halloween in #nicaragua

Yes. Just yes.

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!!!

Open source communities gathering around Discord are like Vegan communities meeting at a Steakhouse.

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!)

Some shots of relaxing beach weekend in Popoyo, #Nicaragua.

Lou Dog always enjoys the views!

[$] A look at the aerc mail client

Email has become somewhat unfashionable as a collaboration tool for open-source projects, but there are still a number of projects—such as PostgreSQL and the Linux kernel—that expe [...]

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.

We, the anonymous editors of the Stallman report, have published our investigation of Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation today to a general audience:

https://stallman-report.org

Our report exhaustively catalogues, analyzes, and offers a rebuttal of Richard Stallman's political program of sexual violence, catalogues credible allegations of misconduct, and documents the misconduct of the #FSF circa 2019 and 2021. Please read and share our work.

Boosts encouraged.

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.

As Cat 4 Hurricane Milton prepares to wreck havoc on Florida, a reminder that Gov DeSantis rejected $11B in Federal aid meant to address climate & infrastructure, & banned the phrase "climate change" from Florida laws.

Republicans are proving "Don't Look Up" was a documentary.

Dutch government announces that they'll make Mastodon available to all layers of the entire Dutch government, as a shared service of the government, starting in 2025!

The Mastodon pilot of the government celebrates their 1-year anniversary today, and as part of the evaluation they stated the Mastodon pilot "strengthens digital autonomy and [creates] a safe and reliable information supply".

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.

Absentee ballot printed. Time to vote for a candidate who's not: 1) a convicted felon, 2) a grifter, and 3) orange.

This photo of the Bridge Fire in the hills behind Los Angeles speaks to the fact that we are in the midst of a cataclysm and the vast majority of people have no idea

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.

Was on vacation last week. Did I miss anything good?

at a protocol level, the internet is only really capable of transmitting two types of data: TCP (True Crime Podcast) and UDP (Unlistenable D&D Podcast)

Lou Dog taking in the views... Happy weekend all.

Wishing a happy birthday to my good friend @AndrewHacks! See you next week man!

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.

"We just sent you a temporary code by email. It will expire in 2 minutes"

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?
