A8. Very busy this week. Photo of the conditions of most of my bicycle usage this week, in the dark (w/light!) to and from classes. Probably overkill (to and from the parking lot), but it really speeds up my commute, much better on the feet than all that cement, and no traffic so kind of fun to be able to go flying down a street at speed without feeling like you're going to be gored by vehicles. #BikeNite

so moltbook and clawedbot are having a meltdown because it only took ten days for someone to realize it was a pietri dish for malware and packed the skills store full of backdoored malicious bullshit and they had no plan to deal with that inevitability? because this was a guarantee. it was GOING to happen. if we go save them, we are letting them fuck around, but not find out. they NEED to find out.

do not help

This will certainly make me think twice about cheap knock offs. It’s also very good information on what to look for in an onboard usb interface (ground plane, termination), buck converter(minimum voltage), and what to avoid.

Is that "m" as in "mnemonic," or "p" as in "pneumatic?"

A depiction of the trolley problem featuring Wile E. Coyote and The Roadrunner. After pulling the lever, the trolley slams immediately off to the side off the rails completely and runs over Wile E.

Hope your day's going well. My comments on behalf of @ptua on tonight's ABC and 9 News. The Metro Tunnel brings benefits to some lines...the service upgrades starting tomorrow need to be the first step, not the only step, in providing with the metro rail service it needs. (Note the socks!)

@todayilearned …Several British writers have questioned the decision to remain with the French during the battle.[citation needed] However, General Charles de Gaulle stated, "For my part, I can say that the comradeship of arms, sealed on the battlefield of Abbeville in May–June 1940, between the French armoured division, which I had the honour to command, and the gallant 51st Scottish Division under General Fortune, played its part in the decision which I made to continue the fight at the side of the Allies, to the end, come what may"

I never applied for an amateur radio license because I didn't like the idea of appearing on an official list of "skilled" people. Until now that was a theoretical fear. One I wasn't even sure if it was warranted or just me being overly cautious.

In Belarus things escalated quickly. Radio amateurs - usually recognized as men of goodwill - have been declared enemies of the state and publicly shamed and indicted for high treason.

In New York, USA. 🇺🇸

Chalk message on a large blackboard-style panel in a tiled New York City subway station reads, “WE DON’T WANT GREENLAND / WE WANT HEALTHCARE,” framed by ad posters and a “50” station marker on the wall in New York, USA. Artist unknown.

Another amazing aurora lit of the southern hemisphere last night, caused by the strongest solar storm in 20 years.
Hobart, Tasmania was treated to a beautiful display.

I can’t think of Palantir without thinking about Peter Thiel, and now thanks to #Southpark I have this handy little ditty to chuckle away the dark thoughts. 🎵Peter Thiel knows about the Antichrist🎵

@jerry Holly Hunter makes for an interesting addition, mostly why I have kept watching so far. But I’m finding the hormones taking a bit of the science out of the fiction.

Not cool. The Guardian, in an article below, posts a link to a video hosted on #birdsiteFormerlyKnownAsTwitter without so much as a mention of what platform it’s hosted on. I followed the link to the video (of course) then closed that tab real quick when I saw where it took me. but I would rather the editors just announce in text what platform they are linking to, so you don’t get a nasty surprise, and can avoid the shit-show altogether. #TheGuardian #linksIWouldLikeToAvoid #BirdSite
