This just in: Dystopian science fiction will no longer be sold or streamed in the San Francisco Bay Area or Silicon Valley due to the high risk of it inspiring new tech startups. #tech #scifi

11 years ago we had a similar setup (inspired by Google), but unlike Google ours was HDDless and we booted from ISCSI.


pro tip: the greek question mark (;) looks exactly like the semicolon (;), but it's a different character. Using it instead of a semicolon causes an error.

The bit about a lawyer being stopped from entering a music hall in the US because its facial recognition system picked up that she's part of a law company that's suing them is even crazier than I thought.

The law company isn't suing the music hall - it's suing a restaurant, in another state, which is owned by the hall's parent company MSG Entertainment. MSG gone ahead and harvested photos of all the lawyers in the firm and fed it to an image recognition system to ban them from every MSG Entertainment owned location.

People always tell me that if you've got nothing to hide then you've got nothing to fear. She's got nothing to hide and they still went after her.

If this doesn't start making people worried about facial recognition then there's serious trouble coming.

Using #vim is easy once you learn a few basic keybindings.

h and l - move left and right
j and k - move down and up
η and λ - move backwards and forwards through time
ξ and κ - translation through additional temporal dimension (if applicable)
ᚻ, ᛄ, ᚳ and ᛚ - moving left, down, up, and right through celestial spheres
𐤄 and 𐤋 - switch deity to pantheon member to left or right
𐤉 - supplicate to chosen deity
𐤊 - challenge chosen deity (dangerous)
:q - exit

I’m boldly going where I haven’t gone before, which is right here at this site. Apparently this is a “toot.” I would appreciate a follow!

Good to see you here, Uncle George! I'm following.
I love how the Mastodon app on my aging phone perfectly cuts off you full Mastodon address: ‘georgetakei@universe…’

Mastodon vraagt: "wat wil je kwijt?"
Ik me af of het echt werkt.
Mor allez, toch maar eens proberen: stof, rommel en vuil in mijn huis, de lawaaierige buren, 6 kg, vet haar, kattenexcreties, egoïsme en gezaag.

And now we play the waiting game 😃

Thanks to the DigitalOcean team, the Mastodon image on their marketplace has been updated to the latest stable version (3.5.3). Thanks Jes!

Tim Somers reshared this.

I had no idea it was available on Marketplace. Previously, I was using Mastodon through Cloudron.

De blauwe krokodil.

Zo maken huisartsen zinloze administratie(eisen) zichtbaar. Om ze aan te (laten) pakken. Doet tegelijk ook nadenken over wat wel zinvol is, zonder elke vorm van administratie als #planlast weg te zetten.

Ideetje voor de onderwijswereld.

A white mug on a white background which reads "I ❤️ Unicode" but the ❤️is missing and is represented by a square box, because the client has failed to load the right characterset. It's a joke. It's funny. If you were smart you'd be laughing right now

Sheesh, do you have this on a shelf next to your "There are 10 kinds of people in the world..." mug? (Nerd)

When it came time to reckon with social media’s failings, nobody ran to the “web3” platforms. Nobody asked “can I get paid per message”? Nobody asked about the blockchain. The community of people who’ve been quietly doing this work for years (decades!) ended up being the ones who welcomed everyone over, as always.

Om de maandagmorgen goed op te starten: Wist je dat in elke #LEGO set waarin het Admiral Ackbar figuurtje zit, hij vergezeld wordt van een koffiemok?

I've always wondered why Admiral Ackbar had a coffee mug in that set.
the designers found that he had to keep his head sharp. Very important job at the Alliance with lots of responsability..

Every Mastodon explanation is like "It's very simple, your account is part of a kerflunk, and each kerflunk can talk to each other as part of a bumblurt. At the moment everyone you flurgle can see your bloops but only people IN your kerflunk can quark your nerps. Kinda like email."

"Ah, ben je nu nog niet weg naar Mastodon" is echt niet de zieke burn die sommigen denken dat ie is.

Je gebruikt op een dag meerdere sociale netwerken, elk met eigen functionaliteit, doel, filosofie en verdienmodel.

Zuur doen over mensen die iets nieuw proberen is jouw probleem

Tim Somers reshared this.

Nog teveel interessante 'tech' accounts op Twitter om het platform zomaar te verlaten wat mij betreft.
Je hoeft ook niks te verlaten.
